Lonesome Soldiers Heart
Its been a long time since i wrote any poem. This is something dark and deep.
It feels like a tired journey,
I’ve forgotten neither the beginning
nor where I am heading
Souls I’ve meet and I’ve united with…
What used to be sparks of light
Now a flicker of hope stands
All is lost to greed & lust
A soldier stands in the eclipse of the sun
The soldier takes on his journey
Like a wilted flower
The soldier waits to die
Or some little act of kindness
The soldier carries
Till his path meets the angel or death itself
Alone in this word he roams…
A lonesome soldier heart
It feels like a tired journey,
I’ve forgotten neither the beginning
nor where I am heading
Souls I’ve meet and I’ve united with…
What used to be sparks of light
Now a flicker of hope stands
All is lost to greed & lust
A soldier stands in the eclipse of the sun
The soldier takes on his journey
Like a wilted flower
The soldier waits to die
Or some little act of kindness
The soldier carries
Till his path meets the angel or death itself
Alone in this word he roams…

Something to Ponder
Take a minutes break and read this, think about it:
A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused.
Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track.
The train came, and you were just beside the track interchange.
You could make the train change its course to the disused track and saved most of the kids.
However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed.
Or would you rather let the train go its way?
Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make........ .....
How did you decide?
What was your decision?
Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child.
You might think the same way, I guess.
Exactly,
I thought the same way initially because to save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally.
But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place?
Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was.
This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday.
In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority is, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority is.
The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined.
And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him.
The friend who forwarded me the story said he would not try to change the course of the train because he believed that the kids playing on the operational track
should have known very well that track was still in use and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens.
If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track!
Moreover, that track was not in use probably was not safe. If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake!
And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids.
While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right one.
"Remember that what's right isn't always popular...
and what's popular isn't always right."
Everybody makes mistakes;
that's why they put erasers on pencils

Diary: Serendah Falls
The picture above was taken in Serendah waterfalls on the 19th of May. My entire department headed by Khalil as our guide took an hour journey to get to the place. I must say it was an exciting adventure there as we had to hike 1km before reaching the falls. When we reached there we set up camp. We had canvas as mats and we all chipped in for food. There was plenty of food that we brought. nasi lemak, fried mee hoon, sandwiches and fried stuff like nuggets and chicken balls.At the first spot there was a nature made Jacuzzi, which was excellent for the body. The guys got adventures and we started to find better spots down the fill. We found and excellent spot where the water was deep enough for one to do cannon balls. We also found another spot where the waterfalls were so strong that if u hit your back it gave u a good massage. All in all it was an exciting trip…

Diary: Rambling Mind
I'm tired.... not at life but at work. I find myself surrounded by negative thoughts. I just want to quit work, period. I wish I had enough financial security to leave my job and do nothing. I always saw my life as a battle from one problem to another. I've never gotten anything easy and I had to fight for what I have. Lately I've been tired of fighting. What am I fighting for u ask. At work I fight to protect my department people from being abused. I've got 15 staff its a hard job. I fight to ensure my brothers are emotionally balanced. Somebody needs to put Alex in check, being so old he so sensitive, Andrew in the other hand is a brick wall you cant really tell what’s he thinking or feeling. I think its the age gap all I know about him is he only loves food too much. On my personal life I'm tired of my current lifestyle, I need some kind off change.. good god please do intervene.
At the office, it’s quite tensed as we need to hit or last quarters target. The office environment is quite tensed, everybody bouncing off his or her tension at each other. I couldn’t take anymore of it and skipped work on Friday. Lenny called me, as he wanted company to fix his car sound system, in short he was pimping out his sound system at Gombak. After doing his sound system we headed to play a couple round of pool to know who was a better player unfortunately it was a draw thus we told each other we would rematch each other soon. After pool we had dinner with Logen and Jaya near Pj State at a Chinese restaurant. So-so food but it was the company that I enjoyed. I reached home at about 12, I didn’t want to sleep so I watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S. season 10 on DVD. I've been putting that on hold. I didn’t want the illusion of the show to be over. I grew up with the show, I kind of related to the show. So I watched the entire season 10 till 4 am with couple of tears tearing down my face.
Sunday was Mothers Day and mum wanted to have Nasi Kandar, the only place I knew was Pelita. So we had lunch at Bangsar Pelita and later on headed to TMC to get some supplies for Alex when my parents go this Thursday to Jogjakarta. I really do hope they have fun. I on the other hand am looking forward to Serendah Waterfalls this Saturday. Will take pictures of it and I'll post it at the blog when I can yeah....
Lately there has only one thing is my mind, what it is you ask? POC = Pirates of the Caribbean. It came to me one day, what would my next tattoo. I closed my eyes and it popped in my head the picture in black and white a portrait of Captain Jack Sparrow. This has gotten so bad that I’m only listening to the soundtrack of POC. Must say it makes work much more bearable……

3 Musketeer’s back again?
Last Friday I meet up with Melman and Yogi for dinner at Chillis and I must say I missed those guys. It was so like back in the day, talking trash and laughing our heads off. Melman was a lil under the weather but his humour was intact. Yogi and me had to keep a lid on his surprise birthday party on Saturday. So we pretended that we were celebrating it on Friday… just the guys. To make sure he bought our story I got a pack of condoms and chocolates. What was better was we got Chillis to sing to him Happy Birthday on his free dessert. Funny thing was they don’t check your IC they just accept it at face value.
After dinner we headed to Thai club to see Nick; we did a lil drinking, This part of the night was really my cup of tea. But luckily I was busy sms-ing an old friend throughout the night. I reached home at 4 in the morning. I only could get 4 hours sleep, as I had to get up at 8 in the morning to meet a client.
My meeting with the client had turned sour and I was such in a foul mood. My boss was not that happy with what had happen. I just wanted to punch something, it was around lunch hour and I wanted to be with someone to lash my feelings out. I called Yogi and he told me to come over, we would pick Nick and then have lunch at some place. But my bad luck kind of ran and there seemed to be a massive jam throughout Cheras. We sat in the car for 2 hours thus lunch was off the agenda… I thought that would be fine since I’ll be in TGIF gobbling my food. Hmmmm a good steak would be nice.
We were supposed to be at TGIF by 8 but due to some ‘technical’ problems we had to push the meeting an hour behind. We had to be there 7 – 7.30. Yoges and I rushed to TGIF. We were of course the 1st to arrive. Melman was again shocked to see us all there celebrating his birthday. Food was pre-ordered so I didn’t get to have my steak. We had pasta, triple play, fajitas, some fried chicken and a nice ice-cream cake to was it all down.
After dinner we headed to Matrix to play some pool…
On Sunday… I didn’t get up till 5 in the evening nothing much happened besides a long talk with Alex. Glad to know he is doing fine. Mum and Dad will be going abroad next week to see him.

We sat in the car for 2 hours thus lunch was off the agenda… I thought that would be fine since I’ll be in TGIF gobbling my food. Hmmmm a good steak would be nice.
We were supposed to be at TGIF by 8 but due to some ‘technical’ problems we had to push the meeting an hour behind. We had to be there 7 – 7.30. Yoges and I rushed to TGIF. We were of course the 1st to arrive. Melman was again shocked to see us all there celebrating his birthday. Food was pre-ordered so I didn’t get to have my steak. We had pasta, triple play, fajitas, some fried chicken and a nice ice-cream cake to was it all down.
After dinner we headed to Matrix to play some pool…
On Sunday… I didn’t get up till 5 in the evening nothing much happened besides a long talk with Alex. Glad to know he is doing fine. Mum and Dad will be going abroad next week to see him.

Diary: Promises
Along my life I’ve made some promises with my friends. In high school the bunch of us promised we would go to London, I went alone. Then sometime later I made a pact with my friend to do a tattoo, I went alone. I’m starting to think that all the promises I made mean nothing. But its still means something to me that’s why I still do it irregardless the other party holds his promise or not, all to its own….
I was supposed to go visit my brother this year but I think I’m postponing that to next year. Fingers crossed, next year I get to go to Bali to conquer another fear (bungee jumping) then go see my brother in Jogakarta. Hope Mother Nature won’t be so pissed off when I plan to visit Indonesia. Mum and Dad are planning to go visit Alex in May, just before Aunt Ire comes down. Alex has been acting funny so mum wants to see what’s happening to the boy.
I’ll be away on a long leave, nope not going anywhere. I just need to clear my leave so I’m on leave on the 26 April – 2nd May. The only thing I’m looking forward in this is to catch Spider-Man 3 and TMNT. So if want to meet up give a call… I’m glad to hang out with ya.

Last week on the 11th of April, Annie gave birth to another Aries Men. So now lil Michael has a lil brother to play or beat up with. The kid is cute isn’t he? Annie and Gerald gave Michael to choose the babies name. So for a 4 year old kid his naming choices is quite limited. Some of the choices were Bob The Builder, Winnie The Pooh, Martin Mystery, B1 or B2 (from Banana’s in Pajamas) but I think they have settled for Christopher Robin. Anyways that’s another name I got to add in my X’mas list. And makes me feel much older… sigh.
I’m actually quite happy to have another nephew to play with. These are actually the most adorable time of their life till they turn out to be brats…. hehehehe. Anyway looks like I’ll have to share my birthday with this chappy now.

Kanye West Concert
Last Sunday at Easter Night, I sang jesus Walks. yes I'm surprised that he played that song too. The concert was actually was a so so one. I still think Linkin Park concert is the best. Anyway heard Justin would be coming to Malaysia. Thats another concert I must go. Anyway Kanye concert was fun too, I went wit Shari, Lester, Prashant, Rizal and his fiancee. Cool....
Last Saturday the content team organized a paintball game. It was the 1st for most of us. We re really excited. We were told it would hurt and it did so. Luckily I was smart enough two clothes. By the way I'm the midle guy in the pic... the fatness should give it away. I got loads to show but i cant cause not really know how to do it. So pass me ur email and i'll send it to you over photo share.My Tattoo
Whats this ugly thing you ask? Well its a picture of a dragon.
Why dragon? Always found the mystic dragon fasinating. The meaning of it. The History behind it
Did it hurt? Like hell it did
How does it feel? Well I feel proud to conquere another fear. Now i'm in the 'pantang' stage. So no seafood for about 2 weeks. Its also the itch stage so no scratching. They've given me medication for 2 weeks for it to heal. Next year hopefully will be bungy jumping. Hope I have the balls for that.
What did mum say? Surprisingly mum was very cool about it. She was more worried how I'm taking care of it.
Will I do another 1? Most definately. Planning to do a Man Utd crest on my chest. Lets see how it goes 1st
