I Never Told You – Colbie Caillat

I miss those blue eyes
How you kiss me at night
I miss the way we sleep

Like there’s no sunrise
Like the taste of your smile
I miss the way we breathe

But I never told you
What I should have said
No, I never told you
I just held it in

And now,
I miss everything about you
Can’t believe that I still want you
And after all the things we’ve been through
I miss everything about you
Without you

I see your blue eyes
Everytime I close mine
You make it hard to see
Where I belong to
When I’m not around you

It’s like I’m alone with me

But I never told you
What I should have said
No, I never told you
I just held it in

And now,
I miss everything about you
Can’t believe that I still want you
And after all the things we’ve been through
I miss everything about you
Without you

But I never told you
What I should have said
No, I never told you
I just held it in

And now,
I miss everything about you
Can’t believe that I still want you
And after all the things we’ve been through
I miss everything about you
Without you

Pain and Pleasure

For the past 4 weeks, I have not been really lucky. The past two weeks, I was having a continuous pain because of constipation. It seems like I did not take care of my diet.

A few visit to the doctor helped to ease the pain. And my bowel habit is getting better now. Everyday I’ll have two pieces of papaya to keep my bowel healthy.

Both of my legs then were giving me problems. When I woke up in the morning, there is this pain like needles poking into my right heel. And everytime I sit down on the floor with my legs crossed, there will be this pain at the same of the knees when I stand up to uncross my legs.

I felt like I am an old man. Two visits to a reflexologist that cost me RM35 each did not bring much improvement. It felt better right after the massage and also the day after. On the third day the pain came back. The same thing happened after the 2nd visit.

So as a last resort, I went for Chinese acupuncturist. Six needles were used. Two each on the left and right legs, and 1 each poked into my heel for 20 minutes.

The result? 75 percent of the pain is now gone. I think I think to go for another 2 session and God willing, the pain will be gone forever.

And it costs only RM21 and yet the result is very satisfying.

That’s what we call it Minimalist Health Treatment. Least effort (20 minutes session as compared to one hour of reflexology massage), much better result( 75% of pain is gone compared to on and off pain), and the least amount of money (RM21 per session compared to RM35 per session of reflexologist).

You should try Chinese acupuncture.

On Talking to God and Devil

What if I tell you I am able to talk to God and devil?

I can hear their voice clearly. The devil is always tempting me into comitting something sweet and yet forbidden.

And God is always telling me not to follow the devil’s word, or else I will just be repeating the history of Adam and Eve.

What if I tell you that I talk to them both literally? And we indeed have conversation.

Most of you will say that I’m crazy. Schizophrenic.

But the irony thing is that, we have all been believing in God and devil. And yet when I tell you they do talk to me, most of you will say that I am crazy.

It is like a cat telling another cat that their owner has just meowed her.

The other cats will tell that one cat that it is crazy.

But what if we live 2,000 years ago and I tell you God and devil talk to me directly?

People will call me a prophet. You will records my words and compile it into a Holy Book. And people will worship me alongside God in worshipping places.

Irony.

But that is not my whole point. If you want to know what beneath all of this talking to God, see you this Sunday at Padang Kota Speakers’ Square.

I Will Never Die

I will never die.

Because I am a spiritual being in the form of human at the moment.

But I am going to make full use of my existence now.

I will never die.

Yarrrr!

Rethinking a Good Deed (How Much is Too Much? How Little is Too Little?)

First and third Wednesday evening is the regular meeting day of the Toastmaster club that I belong to.

Today on the way to the meeting, I decided to have dinner at NS Nasi Kandar .

When I was parking my bike, the parking attendant who is looking after the car in the area came to move the bike next to mine to enable me to park my bike easier.

And he walked away just like that while telling me ” Tonight have to watch football. Brazil against Zimbabwe. Friendly match”.

I was surprised. He did not have the usual vibe of a sleazy parking attendant. A sleazy parking attendant who will scratch your car if you don’t pay them for looking after your car that is parked in their ‘area’.

And I could sense that he was helping me for the sole purpose of making my life a little easier. How many “parking attendants” with such a great heart can you find nowadays?

I took my dinner and I walked to my bike. In my head, I was thinking to myself  “This guy is a nice guy. I should give him some money to make him happy. But how much? And will he feel insulted ”

In the end, I gave RM1 to him.

But on my way to the Toastmaster meeting, I felt like it was too little. I should have given him at least RM5.

After all, he went out of his way to make my life a little bit easier for a little while.

Plus, my Law of Attraction (Steve Pavlina version) says if I want to get more, I should be ready to give more.

Then only the nature will be in equilibrium.

Sometimes, this question of how much is too much and how little is too little seems to be quite complicated too.

If you are served by a great waiter in a restaurant, the rule of thumb says you should tip at least 15 percent.

But this kind of random act of kindness. How should you do it?

Pay it forward? Pay it back to the person?

What do you think?
