Beauty & the Beast ~ Broadway Musical




Beauty & the Beast 2008




Had the opportunity to go to KLCC for the Beauty & the Beast Broadway Musical. One sentence is all that enough to evaluate the show. 'It is worth it & one should go see it!". The props were fantastic, the actors & actresses were professional and moreover, the seating was superb!




Belle had a sharp voice, Gaston was abit 'hiaw', the prince aka beast was kinda small in size and shape. The cup, the teapot, the candle, the clock & the cupboard was amazing and with the supporting roles such as serviettes, forks & spoon, salt & pepper, carpet & plates were amusing...they really made everyone laughed.




we were seated and amongst us, kids of all ages were eagerly waiting and making all kinds of noises as they were so impatient waiting for the show to begin.

"Save A Life" Project at Empangan Batu ~ Hulu Yam, Selangor

Empangan Batu, Hulu Yam. The tranquil outskirt of Selangor, situated just about 45 minutes away from the hussle of the noisy & hectic life of the capital city of malaysia.

The dam is rather quiet without much activities as it dangerous and the dam is rather deep, which supplies to the whole of klang valley. However, the place is ideal for picnickers to spend one day of peace and relaxation. about 1 km away, there are waterfall spots where people can rest and have a nice cool dip in the hot blaring sun in the afternon.

A group of about 30 people from all over klang valley gathered and participated at an outing basically focusing on the pure intentions of releasing life as an act of liberation of beings from sufferings.

Fishes were bought from markets and shops and then released into their natural abode. It was such a joy to see those fishes swimming happily after being released.

The act of liberation "saving a life" reflects the law of kamma which states that the pure intentions to release life brings better life and rebirth. As when you are very aware that another life / being is about to be ended and then to be consumed, then it is advisable to help free the life / being from being killed.

This itself is an act of saving of lives. However, this topic of liberaion is very complex and subjective. Many at times, people tend to ask "I release the birds around the trees area. Then I saw shooters shooting birds as an enjoyment and practice. What should I do then?" "better I dont release".

Later that afternoon, we spent our time eating and fellowship amongst us and then we headed off to the waterfalls. unfortunately, non of us went for cool dip. After that, we headed to Kuala Kubu Bharu Hermitage to meet a sayadaw from Burma.....

Wesak @ Thailand 2008

It was the month when Prince Siddharta was born, and gained his enlightenment, and the Mahaparinibbana of Buddha. My family and I ventured into the deep forest of the North East of Thailand, nearing to Laos. We stayed at the Ubon International Hotel at Ubon Ratchathani and visited Wat PhananaChat which is just about 15 kilometers away from town. Development over the years is changing the form of the village into a major city, equipped with an international airport, Universities, shopping malls and entertainment centers.

In this village, there once lived a great teacher, whom had shown d way to many people from all over the world, and bringing the guiding light to many reknowned monastics of today. ~ Venerable Ajahn Chah~

On the left of this page, there is a slideshow and please do enjoy seeing some of the pictures taken while we were at Thailand. Click for bigger, better view!

We were also very fortunate to meet Ajahn Siripanno at WatPhananachat. He gave us lots of important & meaningful teachings to bring back! We are indeed thankful for the messages....

As on wesak day, we headed to Dr. Dhammananda's Nunery and we participated at the 'bathing of the Buddha' event which is significat to all Buddhist all over the world.

Later in our trip, we went on a search of a temple which belongs to a phraku whom we met at New Zealand and we lost contact for over 3 years. Not knowing anyone or knowing any thai language, we managed to find the temple and we wer utmost suprised to meet him there as he is always knowed to be travelling all over the world.

Well, do enjoy the photos! Arios!

The here and now of my future!

The due date is nearing. My time is almost up. The 3 year target is nearing. Time is catching up with me. As I sat back and reflected, I felt the sense of urgency to exit and enter a whole new environment, targetting the ultimate, for a better tomorrow. As of today, I felt that the functionality needed was reduced and limited as again, refering it to the time where exit is near making way for a new entry to another place. Well, as the fairy tales go, an offer came which I could not resist but to accept. However, as always, before any good things happens, theres always obstacles.

Currently sacrificing most of my time sorting out the knots entangled in circles of ropes by which when eased, the whole line of hope will emerged to a long straight line of success.

DestinyLovE: The Journey







It has since a long time I continued my journey. The journey of my lifetime. Today, marks the day where the winds of change sweeps across my face. A calling for a time to change. The time I experienced this, I was already walking hands in hands with the person whom adores and I adores. apart from my parents. This time round, every bit of blocks fell into just the right place, fiting together, completing a jigsaw pictured to be love.


Expectations alwiz suprises me and this time, nature took it's course. It just happened and it seems more like a dream come true. A dream I never thought of. It all happened in a sanctuary of knowledge where the most profound truth was discovered and kept in secrecy. A secret within the hearts of the many, enchanting the moment after moments of excitement, there comes the explosion of a lifetime where time freezes.


Silhouette is a reflection of the truth and here and now, its the time for the unity of hearts, embracing together, savoring the essence of 'togetherness'. It may seems blur at first to me but as I journeyed along the path, I realized that the time has come that it shall be the moment, the moment it shall begin that the journey has been mapped since a long time ago.


It was destiny which the silhouette shadowed all these time and now, emerged clearly beneath the clear blue sky above me & us...

An ignition of a lifetime!


The time when the clock stops ticking, that is the time it all begun. And, the beginning is the end, and the end is the beginning. As for this, obviously there are many other sparks along the timeline of your life, however, at a certain point of your life, there is bound to be an ignition which is of a greater spark. I use to have some sparks here and there along my timeline. Some of the sparks ignited an explosion which lasted for a good period of time. After such ignitions, I asked myself, are there any 'true' ignitions? Or rather 'real' explosion? Or ‘genuine' sparks?
The answer didn’t seems to be very direct and it left me wondering and at times, inquiring into the matter extensively. As I investigated further, I discovered a common phenomenon. The phenomenon which I refer to is the nature of the becoming and the nature of the ending. Many at times, I didn’t pay much attention to how it happens, and more often neglecting the nature of the process, which is the 'why' and 'how'. The 'when' didn’t really bother me much! This nature of the process has given me insights to the subject of the nature of 'change'.
At the beginning, even before it begins, the phenomenon occurring and as a contributing factor to oneself is so subtle that we often missed it and usually by only a split second. Taking an example of 'driving a car', how often do we think at the moment of 'ignition'? All we did was just push the keys into the key hole and turn clockwise and there it went. The car started. In actual reality, there were more processes involved when and during the time when we push the key into the keyhole.
Similarly, in life, whenever we encounter something, usually a problem, we tend to look at the issue as a problem. Check yourself. How often did you inquiry into the nature of the problem? How did this ever happen? Oh...Blaming and pointing fingers at another person worsen the problem. However, my concern is not about this but to the very fact that we do not fully understand the phenomena before tackling the issues of our lives.
The nature of our intelligence is to ultimately realize the problem, and repenting and finding a solution. What happens if when we are not able to find the solution to the problem? Then wasted time and effort will be spent in resorting and finding a solution. Having uneasiness, restlessness, anger, and tantrums brings us no where.
I experienced my first ignition when I was about the age of 13. I was full of colorful flames which celebrated my life a bit. As usual, at that time, I didn’t understand what it was. I learnt that it wasn’t something which I can control. Then there and then, I stumbled upon my spiritual refuge (BGF), which became a guiding light for my journey. This was like a change for me. Not knowing what I am going through, I am given the opportune to encounter the holy truth within the spiritual path. A change from ignorance to knowledge, and then to the attainment of wisdom!
As years went by, another ignition sparked me. This time, I was at the climax of the peak where, everything seems to fit together, completing the puzzle of my life, giving me the insights of my past to the present and beyond. I was very thankful for what happened and this major spark was the ignition of a lifetime where, I exploded into the world of wisdom which I was a passenger in a vehicle of truth which is INCOVAR.
From there, continues spark of flames brightens and ignites me to move further and most importantly, forward. As the sparks came, change was undeniably existed in every moment of the time which reflects the nature of all things, which our great guru, The Buddha discovered more than 2500 years ago. HE had discovered the path to freedom all by himself and today, we are fortunate to be taught the ancient wisdom of liberation.
As I reflected how HE struggled and persistently seeks the path, I realized that along HIS way, HE obviously have had experiences sparks or ignitions which triggered HIS intriguing mind to stop and ponder the fact that change is the element which is to be found in every moment of time. I remembered, HE proclaimed that HE would not (never) leaves his seat (meditation) until unless he gains full enlightenment (Nibbana). However, according to the commentaries, after HE made such proclamations, HE was on a sages' path where they starves and tortures the 'self' (body) of their own. Then at a moment of time, HE decided to CHANGE and adopts the right views and actions by being equanimous, he gave up what HE practiced and moved on, moved forward, and in a very short period of time, the wisdoms flowed into him, giving him the elixir of life which then HE attained supreme enlightenment.
Today, I see the world as immaterial and ever changing. All these while, I figured that the world is full of surprises, full of excitement, full of joy. This is true! However, there is a dark truth to this. As I learned, I was frequently told that 'Life is suffering.' The 1st truth states that there is suffering, the 2nd states that there is a cause to the suffering and the 3rd is the way to suffering and finally, the cessation of suffering. While reading through the four lines of truth, I realized that suffering seems to be a part and parcel of life which one has to go through. But, to what extend or even how, it is all different to each and individual.
From here, I began to device that it shouldn’t be 'Life is suffering' as it should be 'Life has suffering'. Linguistically and literally, the two phrases is self explanatory and anyone and whoever reads it and digests it should clearly understands the meanings imprint in it. It is utmost arguable if we adopt that 'Life is suffering'. There are indeed people who are not suffering and actually living their lives to the fullest. However, critics will counter by claiming that 'there should be at least a certain percentage of suffering'. This subjective topic which is highly arguable will be the next 'chicken and egg story'.
Anyway, I am buying the fact that 'Life has suffering' instead of 'Life is suffering'! And, I am selling it to you all. Hehhehe! Now, examine your life and identify the ignitions along the way and have you stumbled upon the ignition of INCOVAR? I’m sure you have. Otherwise, you won’t be here today! Allow yourself to burst into the open sky of wonders which you will be thrilled and a guarantee of excitement awaits you!
Today, consider ourselves fortunate, to experience this very ignition which will keep your flame burning for a long time, until the rest of time. Well, I am proud to say that I’ve found my ignition, and now, it’s your turn. Ignite yourself and at the same time, ignite the people around. Pass the flame because at INCOVAR, we inspire…

Performer @ Jonker Walk, Malacca

11th May 2008 - 9.00PM :: We were walking along the famous jonker walk @ Malacca. It was a nice cool evening with Malaccans roaming around the street, patronizing food junctions famous for the baba laksa, cendol of all kinds, kuihs, delicacies and ofcourse the tit-bits...

As me and my friend walked and were chatting, I kept asking "how come it seems like so calm and quiet" in the most busy street at the peak hour of the attraction in the heart of the town.

I was amazed that people are seen walking andlots of people moving around. However, I didnt hear much noises or commotions around and alongthe streets unlike pasar malams or food street junctions where people talk and talk loudly and not forgeting the bargaining in almost every stall.

Infact, I was mesmerized....by the moonlight with the extensive varieties of food and the merchandise sold there.

Anyway, as we walked till the end, we were attracted by a bunting printed with "Malaysia Book of Record". and as we looked closer, it is about a guy poking through a coconut using his index finger.

Toshiba Satellite L200-A412 Vs O2 XDA Atom Pure

The day was such a lovely day when I was err..lucky? to be on sick leave. I was at home. Enjoying my vista and the day time I had to be infront of my PC. at second moment, I wasn't that lucky anyway. I thought of taking a short nap and continue my estacy of my PC. I then went to sleep.




As I lay down to rest, it was shinning bright and steaming hot. rays of sunlight beams through my window penetrating the flowery curtain. In just minutes, I fell asleep. I went snoring away....dreaming of the far far away land...into fantasy....




As my fantasy unfolds, the clouds began to be blown and away they went. Dark clouds came and blanketing the sky above me. In the surroundings, trees began to sway as the fierce wind blows from left to right and right to left.


The sky began to become dark. Sounds of thunder, spears of lightning could be heard and seen from minute to minute. Then, rain starts to pour. Heavily.


Water splashing against the glass window made me felt like I'm in a boat in the middle of the wide open sea in a storm. The wind began to blow fiercely. Water sipped through the narrow gaps on the window pane.


More lightnings could be seen and more thunders could be heard. After awhile, I sprang from my bed. I rushed out.


I saw my monitor's screen black in color. Oh.."surely they had turned off the computer..." Then..I felt relieved. I dropped on my working chair and I thought of something which I have to do.


I stretched my arm towards the button, trying to switch on the computer. As I pressed on the button, my heart beat begin to increase tremendously and sweat started to drip from from my forehead. In just less than a minute, I was sweating and my whole head is filled with droplets of water flowing down towards my chin.
I was looking and searching around for solutions to why it can't start. I was telling myself.."why and how did this happen?"
After numerous attempts, I finally gave up and took my computer to the shop. When I arrived at the shop, my wave of excitement started again and I went through another rollercoaster of adrenaline rush.
I was praying and contemplating that its my power supply which is out of order. As the technicians performed a thorough check, the final results came and it was so disheartened to hear that the motherboard is not functioning. And, the worst thing is that, the waranty claim takes about 4 - 6 weeks.
And now, I'm left with my old PC which is sick and cranky. Wat a life!.......
Now....Toshiba or O2?
With a Tosh..., I can enjoy maximum mobility plus connectivity and otimum productivity..ehheheh..
With a O2, ....I can enjoy Compactivity, ultimate mobility, maximum connectivity and optimum productivity.....
well, without wat happened, I wouldnt have to choose between the Tosh... & the O2..... Welll, I figured that it is time for me to advance and to choose between the two...
My motolola is ageing very fast and looks lke I have to part with it....
So, watz ur say on this?

][ 405 ][

Brown was fast asleep. It was already nearing to dawn. People rushing to get home, driving past buildings & houses, chasing after traffi lights, merely to reach home for a good day's rest. The main road was full of cars zooming past my home.
Each and everytime as I approaches my home, she would jump up and run towards the gate. It has always been the case & perhaps the story. For me, I name her my doorbell. I can't deny that she has superb hearing ability and she has never gone wrong not even by a friction of percentage.
I had always doubted her ability and everytime, she proves herself. There are so many cars passing by and she only recognizes our cars. Amazing huh.....
Anyway, again, its my friend who urged me to update my blog. Hehehhe.
The sounds around me are not always distinctively heard and I seldom pays much attention to it. Senses, we were born with are meant for us to enhance ourselves. Why shall we waste it or not fully utilizing it?
As I thought about all these, I then calculates the amount of my investment in the gadgets I adore. Many at times, I always think that gadgets should be more worth than its use. ][405][ is one of my most useful gadget and itsbeen taxed, over worked for my pleasure and my convinience.
It was all pleasure and until the day comes when 'he' grunts, the pain and the sorrow starts to float. Cash flows outwards, Nothing inwards. Thats the time when the ][405][ I adore becomes an object where I dispice.
However, after going through the time to get it nursed, it gives back the umph for you to drive with greater confidence.
It has been very costly all these years but, pleasure is still there and it is all worth the amount!...
My car ][405][ ...

My Journey of Inspiration.


Birth as a child in a family of spirituality, with a blend of Thai, Theravadian, and Taoism, I grew up to be a non-sectarian Buddhist. Today, I am indeed proud to further claim that the journey, the path that I am walking is the path that will lead me to liberation – one day!

As I explore the treasures the Buddha laid for us, I recollected that there are indeed a lot of inspirations for us to look upon and to re-live the religion which now is called Buddhism. Buddhism, would you call it as a religion? I would definitely not. From my journey, it seems to be a practice we adopt to lead our daily life and eventually, leads us to the final liberation.

Final liberation – at most times, I wouldn’t admit that I am already on the path but it is a thought which I will keep it behind my mind until the time has ripen for the ripening of the thought and of course, with the perfect conditions. And, something discouraging, it needs effort and time, which no human can cheat!

I tried to learn to run before I learnt to walk. At this period of time, I was chasing for my dreams and my spiritual development. At the same time, I was also fortunate that I had the luxury of time to fulfill whatever I wished to do.

My journey began when I was introduced to a non-sectarian society. At that time, the number of members was adequately enough and also operating in an enough-sized bungalow. I was only about 6 or 7.

That year, I could still remember that it was during the moon cake festival. It was crowded with people of all ages. I was in a pool of young children all about my age. It was a first night for me. A night which I will never forget probably in my entire life! The place I was in is Buddhist Gem Fellowship (BGF).

Never forget for my entire life? I told myself, ‘where have the teachings of the Buddha gone to?’ Where is change? Where is impermanence? Where is nothingness? Where is letting go? Where is liberation? Where will all these be when one begins to cling on to something? There are a lot of things which I wish to cling on to. I wished that it never changed and will remain the same.

However, things [phenomena(s)] will never remain the same. This is because, the truth of all things is that it changes and the truth about change is change. Amazingly beautiful! Igemz’s 1st album, Cradled in Buddha’s Arms melodically emphasized the truth about change and also the importance of change.

As you lay back listening to the beautiful song entitled truth of change, with your eyes closed, in a cool surrounding, insights of truth will flow through you suffusing the elements of the formation of a being, re-linking the five elements, the most basic composition of mankind, which will eventually subject to change.
One amazing thing I discovered about this song is that, each and every time I listen to it, I tend to get a new interpretation to it. This is similar to what our beloved late chief venerable; Dr. K. Sri Dhammananda always quotes “each and every week, I repeat what I preached. And, as listeners, each time you hear, you will have a new insight!”

Today, I believe it very much as I am experiencing it day by day, change takes place moment after moment, from time to time. It is falling and rising and every single object in this known existence.

When I arrived at my youth period, I was full of vibe and energy to drive and also to be driven. I was all out to wonder about in this wide wide world full of surprises and excitement. I then began to look for a refuge, or rather a formula for me to live through my entire life. I studied the text, the scriptures which were inherited by the monks from the Buddha himself.

What I felt is that, it is so relevant, so contemporary, a theory which is believed to surpasses mankind and science. Buddhism has brought meaning to my life since then. In fact, I never considered Buddhism to be a religion. As most people perceive religion as a rule of conduct for practice and cultivation.

As for me, I was born into it. A life which I will live! Because of this, I always refer Buddhism as a way of life, a way carved by you, paved by the Buddha himself and walk you must yourself!

After years of expedition in my journey of inspiration, I found a refuge which will never leave me nor will I leave it. This refuge which I found evolves around the four noble truths, mental cultivation, the 5 precepts, and the subject of kamma. With these four areas of literature, it develops a being to be whole, full, and complete.

This also paths the way for a being to leads it life skillfully and equipped with the necessary tools and equipments to go through the journey of life and encountering all obstacles along the path.

This refuge has brought a lot of meaning to my life and I am thankful that year after year there are more and more people embracing this refuge. This refuge has given birth to many virtuous beings and bud many inspiring leaders for tomorrows world, a challenge awaiting us, ahead of us, and totally unknown to us.

Because of this, we also requires spiritual friends which we regards as kalyana mitta, and this refuge which I found brought about the change and a formation of a fellowship of beings who walks the same path, embracing the same refuge.

Today, as we walk our journey, a journey of inspiration, we are susceptible to encounter with all kinds of hurdles and challenges. At the same time, we need the moral, spiritual and mental support from our close ones and more importantly our family. This refuge has also nurtured a family of spirituality which we are members of and we belong to it for as long as time can tell.

Therefore, take this opportunity, while we are still in perfect condition to embrace this refuge which was inherited to us through 2500 years of survival and up till today, still relevant.

For me, my refuge today is the Buddha Dhamma and the mechanism, the manifesto of it is INCOVAR….

Encountering the Jewel of Tibet...

The Singapore Group with Imee Ooi & the Producer!



I was fortunate! I managed to get myself to the musical "Jewel of Tibet" on stage at Istana Budaya, Kuala Lumpur. I started to appreciate musical shows when I attended the 'Mystic Steeps' staged at Kuala Lumpur Convention Center some years ago.








Later, the Tzu-Chi anniversary show further sparked my interest in musicals as they did it wonderfully perfect with precise and accurate and timely co-ordinations and compositions of sounds and songs which projects its message across all cultures and ages.


Then, the 'passage thru time' musical held at Singapore, Raffles Hotel was a spiritually holy production by Buddhist Felowship of Singapore and you know wat, Ajahn Brahmavamso was one of the actors and most of the casts are members of the society. It was worth the time, money and effort to be there to see the musical.


Now, the 'Jewel of Tibet' was a musical show which I told myself that I may not go because it is in mandarin. And, unfortunately, I wasnt well-versed in mandarin and all this while, chineses makes me bored.


However, I was indeed lucky and got a place for the show. And, I brought my translator along. How lucky my translator is - a free show!


Anyway, I sincerely gives them full credit and support and really encourages everyone to go watch it!. The price you paid is fully utilized and all I can emphasize is that, it is worth the money and time!


The interesting part about the show is usually about the props, the main actress (preety or not), the main actor (handsome or chunky), or at times, "wow! a cool chick sitting right over there!" And you will be starring & peeping at that direction most of the time and does not remember a thing about the show!


Some, would just be sitting there, half concentrating in the show and the rest of the time thinking "are they anyone observing me" "do i look good in this or in that" or "is she looking at me" or " is he a maniac?" or even 'MERE BLANK STARE". (wat a waste!)


As the show started, it played the history of tibet and the introduction of how Princess Wen Cheng went to tibet. & bla...bla...bla....check it out at http://www.musicalonstage.com/


and..when the story came to the part where the tibetians praised the chinese princess for bringing lots of opportunities, treasures, occupations, the scene and dances were fantastic.


AND, i asked my friend seated next to me...."can take pictures ah?" 'can la if no flash'...I was so excited and i took my digital camera out and started to focus on the stage. Due to my excitement, I totally forgot to switch off the flash and I impatiently pressed on the snap button.


OMG! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! the flah went off and in the total darkness, out of a sudden, a flash of bright lights illuminated the whole hall as I was seated right in the middle of the hall.

And, this picture is the result of my flash!

Bottom Black, Top Blue, Where is the rest?

Colors! I admit that I wasn’t good at it since the beginning. All I knew was the rainbow colors which I learned from school. Even then, I couldn’t confidently list it in order. How about you? I’m sure you are better than me any many more. I’ve always asked myself what’s in a color. Does a color describe you? Are colors real? What are colors for? Many at times, we just ignore the minor details of the whole picture and that’s the reason why sometimes we do not understand fully the workings of things.

When we talk about colors, what comes to your mind? Home, walls, floorings, cars, clothing, skin color, fluids, sky, and many more! I’m sure everything we see is a projection of a color. And, if you don’t see any color, it doesn’t mean that it is transparent but, perhaps you are nearing to be blind of color.

On one fine morning, I woke up. My head was groggy and I couldn’t find my coordinates that well, I was stumbling about my room. The square place of freedom which I owned! I then pulled open my wardrobe and started to scavenge for my cloths to put on to get to work. I scanned across my wardrobe and nothing excites me. I then thought of something anew which I bought earlier in the year. I wore it. And then I just remembered that the trouser which matches with my shirt is still hanging on the lines downstairs. I quickly ran down and grabbed it and iron it and put it on.

As I buttoned the last button and zipped myself up, I looked into the mirror. Well, I was generous enough to credit myself. “Boy! You look nice!” That was it; it made my day bright all right. I then walked out of the house and drove to work.

As I passed the hall, the empty space of elements, I was stopped! I stomped and nearly fell to the ground. However, I managed to balance myself and I was standing upright. After a few moments, my day begins to spin and spin till….now….rodeo…….!

Mein Diener Von Denken

Greetings! It has been awhile since I persuaded myself to start writing. It took me a long time! Anyway, I am not those who writes alot but has alot to write about but does not hav alot of time. I was pondering of what to use as my header...and as I was looking through some dictionaries in the library, I found a German dictionary and it grabbed my attention that why not I use some different language other than English. Well, at first I wasn't convinced to do so. However, as I found those words which I wanted, I began to construct a sentence in German using a sentence in English. Which means, just by mere direct translations. Therefore, if there are any Germans out there who could tell me if what I wrote is right or wrong.

I set-up this blog for almost a year but this is my first post. Many at times, I always told myself that I have lots of time to do it, or telling mysef that there is always another day to do it. And, the truth is, the time and day never came! Procrastination, they call it? Well, its about mere delaying things. with relation to this, I wanted to write something about people who misses opportunities due to 'certain' things or 'excuses' or 'reasons'. And, these are the people who will regret over their decisions by not participating or being part of something and they do regret over it. And, very often, they grunt over it, over and over again, just due to the reason that they rejected an offer earlier or by mere not 'willing' in the begining. By the way, is there a term to describe these type of people? I figured that it has got something to do with passiveness and participation which means not participating in activities or any of that kind added with regrets.
Howabout Regrettable Passive Participation (RPP)? Or can I claim this as a new term? RPP? Anyway, I was talking to a friend about this and I asked him, Have you started your regret list? He then said, " think it's better 2 count ur blessings than 2 regret" which makes me think and all these while, spirituality has emphasized on the idea of happiness and concentrate on the positive, bright side of life and one shall be happy. Hahahahha.....
