Rethinking Spirituality

Source from Wikipedia, spirituality means "an ultimate reality or transcendent dimension of the world;^[1] an inner path enabling a person to discover the essence of his or her being, or the “deepest values and meanings by which people live.” ^[2]."

In my life, there was never a point where my parents or family teach me on religion. We are not a spiritual or religious family I believe. Being religious simply means having prayers on certain dates for certain occasion. But why? Why did we pray? Who are we praying to? What was the purpose of praying? No one seems to be able to answer all that. In fact, there are various points in my life that I thought of all religions and beliefs are just superstitious. Rules and morality codes that was created to mass control the people in various points of human history.

However, recently, there's an urge for me to start understanding the purpose of this life on Earth. My own life. I have the urge as well to finally find peace in my inner self from now on towards the end of my life. I guess the time has come to rethink about religions and spirituality again. I really need answers and guidance to go through this.

My Donkey

Remember the annoying, big mouthed yet good in nature Donkey in Shrek and Shrek 2? Can you remember any friends that resembles the Donkey? And seriously, I DO NOT MEAN PHYSICALLY!!! Recently, I've come to realized that there are lots of " Donkeys " in my life. Don't feel offended if I'm referring anyone as a donkey, coz do put in mind that at the same time, I'm an Ogre too. Yep, it's funny how some friends tend to annoyed us so much that we would like to tell them to shut their mouth sometimes! They will keep on going just to keep us annoyed even you've give out all the possible signals and hints that you're really not in the mood to join in their play. But their patience is somewhat last for eternity. They'll follow you around just to keep you in their watching distance. Although some may not resembled the loud Donkey in Shrek, but they do have other ways to annoy you. I have this particular friend who were so choosy and annoying, and somet...

Just went up to Doulos wiv Mum, Paul and Kenny. The last time I went was around 15 year ago. But there weren't Mum, Paul or even Kenny. I was there with Leonard and Dad. Suddenly i missed the old times so much where Dad and Leonard is still around at home. Things have changed alot. Same ship, different companions, different feelings. Life has come a long way for me, and perhaps for everyone that i know. If only I can turned back time, I'll appreciate more all the times that we had, late night's chat, joking around and poking fun at each other . But again, that's human being's weakness--always take things for granted. You wouldn't realized how important a person in your life, or how fortunate to have experienced some things, until you lose it all. I've decided to go abroad. All the tests, the procedures, everything... sigh... it's a long way to go. I'm currently waiting excitingly for the coming school holidays, because that's the only time that I...

Crossroads

Life is about choices.. Choices about how you want to run your life, what principles that you hold, what career you are heading in the future. Perhaps, now is a time where tough choices are ahead for me. Both family and friends have their own saying about what is the best. So, what's the best for me? I'm easily influenced by persuasion, and i usually give in easily. Sometimes ever so reluctantly, i followed what people asked or wanted me to do. I do not have much consideration of what I want in the first place. For this, I've been wasting more than a year now, which could easily turned out to be an interesting year for me to proceed to my dreams. A year of frustration, a year of uncertainty, and a year of lost chances. The 6 months in Melaka wasn't the best in my life. Some might say it's just a short period in your life. But in reality, I've lost alot of chances in this 6 months time. Work, study, career, even my relationship. Every person in my life has their ...
