Overheard a parent-child conversation in which the kid was pleading the mother to buy something. The kid was kinda desperate I guess cos she kept saying "Please, please, please" And finally the fateful line, "Pretty pleeeeeeease"
And instantly...
"The appearance of please does not make any difference."

Gru, Despicable Me.That popped up to my mind and brought a smile to this kinda depressing morning. (Cos it's the end of World Cup 2010)
I've always suspected myself as being a bit.. psychic. That means having super powers, not mental, like psycho.
Well, lately I've been going through this notion of "是你的,就是你的。莫强求。" and the idea of not looking through other people's window.
And yesterday, during sermon, Reverend's words just kinda struck me again.
It's easy to know not to envy what other people have. But it's just too difficult for me to do that. You know, like the Bloom's taxonomy thing. 1st level of understanding. You may know what is the definition of the concept, but understanding it by doing it, analysing, evaluation are the higher order thinking skills that requires much more action and heart put into it.
But still, it's a wake up call I guess.. After teasing around the idea of not envying, someone of the higher authority has spoken. Put the knowledge into use and action.
By the way.. I'm a bit crazy. I've been onto the World Cup for like the entire month. Following the matches and going crazy (and almost voiceless) with every save, foul, goals and celebration. Then, I just missed the most important match of all. LoL.. Yup.. I chose to sleep on the night Spain and Netherlands fought for their first ever World Cup trophy. Oh wells.
But I like watching these events. Cos with every match, there's bound to be this someone specially talented and good looking that pops out from nowhere!
The last time it was Rooney, C. Ronaldo, Kaka, Torres (he's still very hot! Even with a wife and daughter), Messi, etc, etc. Now, there's the amazing German team Thomas Muller, Phillips Lahm, Ozil (all married. Blaaaah), Fabio Coentrao (married with kid > . < )who's too under rated in my opinion. He's definitely better den team captain C.Ronaldo. There's also Javier Hernandez (aka, Chicharito) the fastest player in the entire game, and my ultimate
♥ Yoann Gourcuff. Well, partly cos he's French. Hehehe.. Too bad France went out too early. And he got a red card for nothing. (I still think the referee was too harsh and stupid. Eyes kena stamped by elephant!)
The best thing out of the World Cup is that I made new twitter friends whom I can squeal with. Ok, we squeal at the hot guys la. But we also curse at Paul the octoidiot (Have u heard that he's going to get a disciple/student and pass his knowledge of prediction? How ridiculous is that?) and the stupid referees and those people who get away with fouls. Erlack.
Anyways.. Enough rambling. After football.. I'm going into the paranormal world. Nope, not vampire EVER! I absolutely hate/loathe it. I'm going into the world of magic and faeries. Not fairy. It's Faeri. Still trying to figure out the difference between the two. Well, I'll update when I finish the two series of books.
I need more reading. My brain's almost dead with too much video and books.
Peace out ♥


Yoann Gourcuff
He's one HOT French. See you in Euro2012 in Poland/Ukraine. Let's hope the new coach for the French team is a better and treats you better too ^ . ^
PS: It's just that I used to think that I am way better then. At least, I can control my desires and urges. I know the difference between want and need. But that wall has disintegrated. Weeks of reflection and the answer is surprisingly simpler than I thought. It's cos of my faith. I used to have more faith in Gohonzon and I was a much avid believer. Now, I rely myself too much. Sometimes more than religion. By doing so, all my past practices were instantly disregarded. What I've learnt are just memories because I no longer put them into use into my daily life as I've done so, with much more discipline. That's the root of the issue. I can go on and on. But I'll just bore myself to death. All I want to say is this. It just comes down to the most basic thing. In both religion and life.Faith.
