.........
I had been busy for almost five months. Non stop of ot. Busy clearing the works and assignments. Rushing for the deadlines and clients' requirements. For me this year is the busiest period for me. I never think that I will be handling so much accounts and big companies. For me busy is the word that I can say. Busy.. Busy.. Busy..
After the peak, it's quite free... Nothing to do.. Some of us just sit there staring and doing nothing. Talking and chatting.. If not just start complaining. Doing the last work of the work.. Start to find something to do.. Free.. Free.. Free..
Now I just wish that when the new assignment list come out I can accept what I had been assigned for... Desperate.............................................................................................................................

Thought For Days
Don't give your mind permission to get disturbed. A disturbed mind is easily influenced. This will cost you your peace. Learn to maintain your peace by freeing yourself from attachments. Competing or comparing yourself with others will not allow you to focus inwards. An inner focus allows you to keep your eye on your higher self. Remember your original nature. It allows you to forge a link with the Divine. Then it becomes easy to recognise useless thoughts and replace them with a spiritual perspective. A calm mind is not just peaceful, it is focused, self-directing and Divine.
Resolve Conflict
There has probably never been a time where there has been so much fear and conflict across the world, not just across oceans and borders but across the breakfast table. In fact many now prefer conflict to peace, as they become addicted to the actions of anger and aggression, and the adrenaline rush which results. They don't really want conflict to end, in fact, they will say that some conflict is good to get things done and stimulate change. They are not aware that they are killing themselves. All conflict is simply a symptom of attachment to a position. And as we know, this generates fear, and fear, if allowed to stay, eventually kills it's host. All solutions are based on detachment or letting go. But that will be difficult until we can see that all possession is an illusion, that we have nothing to lose and that there are no victories in winning.
There Is God
Behind every flower there is a seed, and behind every painting there is an artist, behind every human being there is God.
Relationships
Good feelings for others are like ointments that heal wounds and re-establish friendship and relationships. Good feelings are generated in the mind, are transmitted through your attitude and are reflected through your eyes and smile. Smiling opens the heart and a glance can make miracles happen.
Impact
Make every thought, word and deed such that the impact gives someone courage and zeal and enthusiasm.
Enjoy Moments of Silence
When your open your eyes in the morning, sit for a moment and appreciate the gift of a new day, create a peaceful thought and enjoy some moments of silence throughout the whole day.
Sense of Humour
Steer easily through life by keeping a light touch on the controls, and a strong sense of humour.
New Perspective
It is easy to create new things, change places or do something different. To keep that sense of newness that creates enthusiasm is more difficult. The secret of newness in life is not to do new things constantly, but to see everything you do with new eyes, new insights and a new perspective.
Patience
Patience is a reflection of the peaceful mind. My peaceful mind is able to cope with all situations without becoming disturbed and agitated. It calmly accepts the resolution of circumstances and, with this patience acquires the power to deal with all situations.
Doing the Right Thing
The world is a stage and we are all actors. Each actor plays a unique part and is responsible for their own actions. Responsibility means doing the right thing no matter how big or small the task may be. Each one of us has a special role to play in the making the world a better place.
Best of Friends
The best kind of friend is the kind, you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away, feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
Precious Gifts
More valuable than the things we give to each other are the gifts of virtues we pass on quietly to others through our selfless and noble actions. These gifts are truly precious because they are imperishable and they multiply the more we share them.
Belief Power
If you are ready to alter some of the current outcomes in your life then you will need to start with your beliefs. There are many categories. First there are 'fatal beliefs' - "I can't, I'm not able, I never will." These are the beliefs we have about ourselves, that set the boundaries and limitations of ourselves. Then there are 'blocker beliefs' - "My kid is stupid...my boss is an idiot...did you see that crazy person?" These are beliefs about others and, for however long they last, they block the flow of energy in a relationship. They are bricks in the walls we build between each other. Then there are 'survival beliefs' - "Get what you can while you can....there is not enough to go around...you have to look after number one." These beliefs would have us live in fear and anxiety, otherwise known as insecurity. We can choose our beliefs. But first we may have to unchoose the ones that have crept in over the years, now living comfortably 'below stairs' and seem to be part of our inner furniture. If you want different outcomes in your life, change your beliefs first. Clean up down stairs!!
Generosity
If I limit the love I give to just one or two, it will eventually go stale. If I learn to create love inside my heart and silently give it to everyone I meet, love will grace every corner of my life.
Happiness in the Heart
To have questions in your heart means to be distressed and to cause distress for others. Therefore, be one who has happiness in the heart, not questions in the heart.
An Ancient Peace
There is a silence into which the world cannot intrude. There is an ancient peace you carry in your heart and have not lost. There is a love you have missed for so long and will always come back to.
Life
Ignorance makes you believe that life functions haphazardly. Wisdom teaches you that everything that happens in this theatre of life has profound significance. What you see today is not the fruit of chance but a fruit from seeds planted in the past. Plant seeds of peace now and you will create a life of peace in the future.
Values
Values are related to each other as if they were members of a great family .
From peace and happiness emerges inner joy. From this state of wholeness love awakens and with is the desire to share and give . Two of its relatives are tolerance and respect.
All values have a shared origin which unites them - the peace of spirituality.
When you lose peace you begin to lose everything.
Creativity
Acts of virtue emerge from deep within, from an inner sanctuary of silence from which inspiration flows. Every action has its seed in a thought and every thought is a creation of the thinker, the soul. I choose what thoughts I want to create and as is my thinking so are my actions and also my experience in life. Going within, I touch the stillness and pure love that lie at the core of my being and every thought that I create is of benefit to myself and of benefit to humanity.
The Secret to Being Content
To be peaceful is to be free from expectations and to want nothing from anyone. Take the initiative and be generous. Lead the way and do something. This is the secret to being content in all circumstances.
True Peace
True peace can be experienced only when we stop giving and taking sorrow. In order not to give sorrow we need a clear heart that has no ill feelings and for not taking sorrow we need a big heart that can tolerate and help other souls to get over their weaknesses.
Rich Person
A rich person is not someone who has more, but someone who desires less.
Calmness & Silence
Calmness increases efficiency. Silence increases effectiveness.
Observe and Reflect in Silence
Many times with the good intention of solving a problem you become part of the problem. In order to accept the problem it is more practical firstly to remain silent and serene . It is not necessary to understand the causes but to find solutions. Observe and reflect in silence and then make a decision.
Manners
A person of wisdom and spirituality has very beautiful manners that have grown from genuine respect and love for the whole of humanity. Manners in this sense have nothing to do with culture or education: it is simply a question of humility. When we are at the receiving end of such manners, we feel that some deeper part of us has been honoured. In fact, none of us deserves anything less.
Get Past Your Past
Let the past be the past - both my past and the past of others.
There's no need to keep repeating the past in my head.
Think: Whatever happened, happened, it's OK for me to move on. Let me be supportive and make it easy, not difficult - for myself and others.
When I stay in the present, everything is pleasant.
Enemy of Happiness
The enemy of happiness is wasteful thoughts. To stop yourself from thinking wasteful thoughts focus your mind on God.
Cheerfulness
The one who possesses cheerfulness becomes like a magnet of goodwill.
True Greatness
The one who can adjust to any situation with humility possesses true greatness.
Interfere Lovefully
One of the deepest habits we learn is interfering in others' lives. Even if we are not actively interfering there is a good chance it's happening in our heads. Then, when people don't do what we want them to do, which is usually all the time, our ability to relax is non existent. If you want to interfere successfully in someone else's life, try this loveful approach. It begins with acceptance, continues with acknowledgement, is empowered by appreciation and ends in actualisation. Only in this way can we help others be all that they can possibly be, and what else is life for, but to help others to be all that they can be. Only by making love practical in this way, can we heal our own habits of criticism, envy and blame. Accept, acknowledge and appreciate. It doesn't mean you have to agree, comply or condone. The paradox is that we ourselves will receive the same in the process, not only from ourselves, as we become what we give, but from others along the way. Why? It's the law!
Good Software
Positive thoughts are like good software that helps us to perform to the best of our abilities.
An Angel
Acceptance gives me the experience of being like an angel: never judging, never criticising and never worrying.
Plant The Seed Of Peace
As our thought so is our consciousness, and as is our consciousness so is our life. Let your first thought of the day simply be peaceful. Plant this seed. Water it with attention and you will gather the calm.
Quality Spotting
A compassionate person develops an eye for spotting the qualities that make each person special. Even when others are at their lowest ebb, it is possible to help them restore their self-belief by keeping a firm, clear vision of their goodness and specialities. Taking a gently encouraging approach, I must never give up on anyone.
Trustee Consciousness
We all have a relationship with everything. Obviously the relationship we have with the people and objects in our immediate vicinity is more intimate than the rest of the world. For most of us the most common relationship is possession. In our minds we think we own and possess things like cars and houses and carpets and golf clubs etc. This thinking easily spreads into jobs and tasks and positions and perhaps even other people. "I want you", and "You are mine alone", is the essence of many romantic film scripts and song lyrics. What we forget is that this relationship is wrong. It is not possible to possess anything. Care for..yes. Use...yes. But possess...no. You can't take it with you when you go, so we say! And yet it's the idea of possession which lies at the heart of all fear, war and conflict. Can you see it? Fear of loss, fear of not acquiring what we have already decided is ours in our minds. So what is a better relationship we can choose which takes all the fear away. Be a trustee. Everything comes to us in trust, for us to use and then to set it free. The consciousness of trustee sets us free of the tension of grasping and guarding. To see ourselves as trustees of everything that we receive, including our bodies, encourages our innate capacity to 'care for with dignity'. It is a much more relaxing way of relating to the things which we are privileged to receive in life.Respect
It is always easy to expect and demand respect from others. It is simple to criticise others for not being respectful or for being rude or for not showing the proper appreciation. It is difficult to ask respect from myself. Without respect I can never gain respect from others. Without self-respect I will always be performing self-defeating actions. Without self-respect I will always be looking outside myself and will constantly be at the whims and fancies of other people's dispositions.
I cannot get respect by asking for it. I only receive it when I give it to myself and to others.
Honesty
Honesty is to speak that which is thought and to do that which is spoken. There are no contradictions or discrepancies in thoughts, words or actions.
Harmony
All things have their time. All things have their answers. All things have their right to be. Accepting this reality, all things come into harmony.
Within Me
Even in today's world, beauty and truth can still be found and the first place to start looking is within my own self.
The Only Weapons I Need
In situations of conflict, I have to realise that the only weapons I need are a
smile and a loveful attitude.
Harmony
The harmony that exists within the minds of individuals will be reflected in harmonious society.
Lasting Fragrance
Tread lightly upon this earth, seeing, understanding but never imposing. Thoughtful, independent, be gracious in victory and defeat. Free of possessiveness, so ease of mind sweetens relationships. Like the scent of a rose the untroubled spirit imparts a lasting fragrance.

Thoughts For Days
Spirituality is not a luxury, something for people who have nothing else to do but sit around and meditate. In fact, it is the lack of spirituality in daily life that is causing the breakdown and destruction of our planet and our civilisation.
As we restore spirituality we can find methods of working together to create better selves and a better world. Thus we can see, looking at our global relationships, that spirituality is an integral part of life.
Being
Do you spend most of your life running after things, doing things? Have you forgotten that being comes before doing? Those who remeber this secret make an effort to 'be' and discover that when they stop and observe, life helps and brings whatever is needed.
Head and Heart
To handle yourself, use your head. To handle others, use your heart.
Create Continuously
Every day is an opportunity to be creative - the canvas is your mind, the brushes and colours are your thoughts and feelings, the panorama is your story, the complete picture is a work of art called, 'my life'. Be careful what you put on the canvas of your mind today - it matters.
Enjoy and Feel Peace
The theatre of life has its own script. Each instant is unique. Live each moment as if it were the most important of all. You will enjoy and feel peace. Discover your spirit and the treasure within.
Your spirit is full of peace.
Your spirit is peace.
The Key to Peace
Humanity is like a tree. Each human being is connected with the Seed and belongs to the same tree. The beauty of the tree is that it has different branches and on each branch, numerous leaves.
All individuals are also different and have their own role. Think about what we have in common and you will appreciate every human being.
This is the key to remain at peace.
Easier Than It Seems
Learn to create silence in your mind and peace will flourish in your soul. To be internally silent do not think too much. Trust yourself. Trust others. Trust life.
You will find it is easier than it seems.
Follow Your Compass
Those who are wise live according to their purpose. Their life gives meaning to everything they do. They do not live by the clock, but instead follow their compass. This ensures they are on the road that leads directly to their destiny.
Self-Confidence
Firm faith and self-confidence in your goals determine your destiny. Be sure not to forget your goals; do not allow doubts to come. Instead of seeing problems, see only opportunities.
Delight
Take delight in small things because it is from seeds that flowers grow.
Like A Star
At the end of the day, on the wings of your thoughts, go beyond the cares and troubles of the world. Remove your mind from everything and everyone, and become blissfully detached, like a star. Like a star, be free to radiate light, for your essence is light and peace. Enjoy the simplicity of the night sky, the peace. And then, when you want to, you can shoot down to earth.
Detached Observer
Peace ends when you are emotionally involved in a situation. The practice of being an detached observer helps you stay stable and calm. It is the best way to approach a decision in any circumstance.
The Power of Thoughts
Thoughts are more powerful than actions because they are the creators of actions. You have to keep in mind that the thought-waves of your good wishes and pure feelings, your vibrations of peace and love, can once again bring harmony in nature and happiness in the world.
Depth of Humility
Humility means to understand the self and through that to understand others as well. Humility is the attitude where a person is not attached to his or her opinion and feelings. Humility is the most natural expression of truth. It helps in better understanding of truth. Humility is the basis for maintaining self-respect. Humility does not mean bowing down and being subservient to others. Humility allows you to see benefit in everything. Developing humility brings a lot of comfort and ease into your life.
The Weak, The Brave And The Strong
Anger is weakness, tolerance is bravery. Humility makes you strong.
Plant The Seed Of Peace
As our thought so is our consciousness, and as is our consciousness so is our life. Let your first thought of the day simply be peaceful. Plant this seed. Water it with attention and you will gather the calm.
Look Before You Leap
Whatever actions you perform, check the consequences and then perform that action. Then you will never say I don't know how this happened. I didn't mean it to happen. If you do not pay attention, lines of tension then become visible on your face.
Manners
A person of wisdom and spirituality has very beautiful manners that have grown from genuine respect and love for the whole of humanity. Manners in this sense have nothing to do with culture or education: it is simply a question of humility. When we are at the receiving end of such manners, we feel that some deeper part of us has been honoured. In fact, none of us deserves anything less.
See Only Virtues and Specialities
An ant is tiny beside an elephant but as soon as an ant enters the ear of an elephant it goes crazy. The elephant’s ears are so big, the elephant itself is so big and yet a tiny ant makes it go wild. In the same way, if I allow the slightest defamation of anyone go through my ears, I lose all my spirituality. I lose all my value because I start interacting with others on the basis of what I have heard about them. Pay attention to this! We have to be very, very selective in what we allow to enter our ears. Let me learn to see only virtues and specialities. Let me not concentrate on anyone’s weaknesses.
Change Skill
There is nothing more certain than that the world will continue to change. Accepting and not resisting this, is the first and most important inner skill in this frenetically changing, modern world. Life tests us every day to see how well we have developed this ability. Equally, there is nothing more real than the inner space within each of us that never ever changes. We may change our thoughts, our feelings, even our sense of who we are, but we fail to visit the unchanging centre of our own self. The ability to be in this inner space, where our peace is found, when all around would prefer chaos and crisis, is the deepest spiritual change skill. It is the eye of the storm, it is the oasis in the desert, it is the place where peace is power. Call in today. You'll be surprised how much it can influence and change everything and everyone around you!
An Ancient Peace
There is a silence into which the world cannot intrude. There is an ancient peace you carry in your heart and have not lost. There is a love you have missed for so long and will always come back to.
Space For God
The best solutions to problems will not be the result of hard thinking. Use your time better by creating peaceful thoughts, and problems will cease to affect you. Do not try to solve everything on your own. Leave some space for God to come and help you.
New Response
If you can see and accept that you create your own stress according to how you are responding, you will then see that there is something you need to unlearn as well as learn. The old response needs to be unlearned, and a new response needs to be learned.
Relationships
A sensible person knows it is a waste of time and energy to get angry. Effort will then have to be made to reconstruct that relationship. It is much more useful to breathe deeply, pay attention to your attitude and answer without rushing. In this way, improve and strengthen your relationships with others.
Ocean of Peace and Silence
It is said that rest is best. Imagine an ocean of peace and silence and plunge into it. Let your mind relax and enjoy moments of tranquillity. Free yourself from wasteful thoughts. This is the best type of rest.
Mistakes
When you make a mistake, learn from it, resolve not to repeat it and then forget about it. You will feel better again. Do the same with others, instead of making their mistakes bigger, dissolve them in your mind and help them also to forget about them.
A sensible person does not criticise the mistakes of others, instead, he learns from them for the future.
A Moment Of Solitude
When I start the day with a moment of solitude and contemplation, even the most crowded schedule runs more smoothly.
The Value of Silence
Silence means unplugging, disconnecting from the many sources that absorb our energy: problems, worry, pleasing, fear and overload. To be released quickly from all these debilitating socket points, we need to become introspective and quiet. This revitalises our thoughts.
Every thought we create is energy and it produces its own current, whether negative or positive. In quietness I step inside and I stabilise myself in the thought of that original peace. Then slowly, I begin to feel great. This original current of peace releases me from burden and fear.
Happiness Is What You Are
Happiness is not a destination, it's a journey. Happiness is not tomorrow, it is now. Happiness is not a dependency, it is a decision. Happiness is what you are, not what you have
The Final Analysis
People are often unreasonable, self-centred: Forgive them anyway. If you are Honest, People may cheat you, but be Honest anyway. What you spend years to build, someone could destroy overnight. Build anyway. The good you do today, People will often forget tomorrow. Do Good anyway. You see, in the final analysis it is between you and God; it never was between you and them anyway.
Understanding
Most people don't understand themselves or others. we need to make time for this. We get too impatient. Very often, because we are not willing to take this time, misunderstandings continue. We don't take time to listen to someone quietly and try to understand them. Then we start inventing things about them, because we simply haven't taken the time to understand.
Angels
An angel is a guest for he cleans up behind him. Where there has been misunderstanding he returns to clarify, where there has been hatred he offers love. He is never without gifts and always without burden.
Forgetting and Remembering
Life is a game of forgetting and remembering. You are losing the game when you ... forget who you are and what you are doing here, remember the false things of the past and what they did to you.
You are winning the game when you ... remember your true identity of peace, remember the One who is always peaceful and has unconditional love for you, forget the troubles of the past and move forward with the lessons learned.
Observe what you remember during the day and what you forget.
Feeling Great
Enthusiasm is the master key to feeling great. It keeps the self extremely positive beyond the pull of negativity while simultaneously making others feel uplifted too. To develop enthusiasm, have faith in the goodness of life, and in the original goodness of the self and others.
Dadi Janki
Behind the Masks
You see behind the masks and beneath the fears to the beauty within every heart.
Determination
It is because you are determined, not flawless, that you attain perfection.
Light Hearted Soul
You are a light hearted soul who laughs in the face of fear,and only cries tears
of joy.
Be At Peace
You spend most of your life running after things, doing things. You forget that being comes before doing. Those who remember this secret make an effort to "be" and discover that when they stop and observe, life helps and brings whatever is needed. Learning to be is learning to be at peace. It is our most fundamental nature.
An Angel
Acceptance gives me the experience of being like an angel: never judging, never criticising and never worrying.
Wings to Fly
You are a courageous soul who recognises that whatever you face will become the wings with which to fly.
Like A Star
At the end of the day, on the wings of your thoughts, go beyond the cares and troubles of the world. Remove your mind from everything and everyone, and become blissfully detached, like a star. Like a star, be free to radiate light, for your essence is light and peace. Enjoy the simplicity of the night sky, the peace. And then, when you want to, you can shoot down to earth.
Enemy of Happiness
The enemy of happiness is wasteful thoughts. To stop yourself from thinking wasteful thoughts focus your mind on God.
Change
It is wise to bend rather than to break. Those who change will get spiritual wisdom. Conversely, those who have wisdom will decide to change. Change is the first law of Nature
Spaces Of Silence
Push yourself like a machine and you will eventually run low on energy. Love your mind by allowing it spaces of silence and it will serve you tirelessly.
Wisdom
You have the determination to plant seeds of change now, and the wisdom to wait for the fruits to emerge.
Honesty & Clarity
Honesty does not mean simply speaking your mind. Honesty means to be very clear about everything going on inside you. Where there is honesty, feelings become pure and clean. Honesty is where there are no other thoughts or feelings inside, other than those that God himself would have. Such clarity is reflected in your words; they will be filled with the power of truth, and spoken with ease and without hesitation. The genuine honesty cultivated within you is what will reach out and touch others..
Humility
Humility dismisses nothing, rather, it takes even small things into consideration. It recognises that whatever life presents, needs to be respected. Small things are easily found in something big, but inside little things there is often greatness.
Mind & Heart
A mind filled with peace creates a heart filled with contentment.
Keep It Simple
To be simple means to be completely pure: to have royalty and greatness whilst being ordinary
Giving
With habits, never give in or we lose our dignity, With the self, never give up or we lose our destiny, With others never give your worst or you will never develop your best. The saying, "what we give is what we receive". The lesson: Just to give.
Make Up
While we spend much time 'making up' our faces to ensure our appearance is beautiful for others, we forget to make up our minds. This is not about making decisions. Making up our mind means ensuring that our thoughts are positive and our feelings towards others are filled with good wishes. When we do, others begin to sense a deeper beauty emanating from behind the skin! This is inner beauty. Don't hide behind your face. Let the real you show through.
Character
When you do not upset yourself thinking about how others must change and instead you concentrate on your own change, good things start to happen. First, you will feel better about yourself. Second, you will start to have positive feelings towards others and start to understand them. Third, others start having a more positive attitude towards you.
Treasure of Happiness
Let the treasure of happiness always be with you and all other treasures will automatically come to you.
Big Heart
For those with a big heart, even impossible tasks become possible.
Harmony
All things have their time. All things have their answers. All things have their right to be. Accepting this reality, all things come into harmony.
Creating Thoughts Of Benefit
Acts of virtue emerge from deep within, from an inner sanctuary of silence from which inspiration flows. Every action has its seed in a thought and every thought is a creation of the thinker, the soul. I choose what thoughts I want to create and as is my thinking so are my actions and also my experience in life. Going within, I touch the stillness and pure love that lie at the core of my being and every thought that I create is of benefit to myself and of benefit to humanity.

Special Night...
I never think that Miri got so many Indians as more than half of the hall is full with Indians sitting at the table of ten. It's like 'wao' to me. Tonight event is organised by Miri Indian Association. The Indians are celebrating their Indian New Year. It's quite new for me since I never been to Indian festival. Celebrating their new year is my first time.
After the performance of dancing and singing, there is a lighting ceremony. It's the beginning of the event. This is my first time attending this kind of dinner. During this dinner, there are a lot of activities and performance. Besides the lucky draw, there are also singing and dancing. There are some guys playing the Indian instruments. The most special part is where there are some kids and youngsters become models to show us the traditional clothes of Indians. There are quite a number of clothes.
For me, tonight is a special night as this is my first time and I can see how the Indians celebrate their new year. I never think that Indians also got new year same like Chinese and Malays as I thought they just celebrate Deepavali. I think I'm the frog that sit in the well that never jump out from the well and always think that the world is as big as the well.. Short-minded I am.
There are many types of Indians just like Chinese. The new year they have is different too.
Indian New Year
VIshu (Kerala) Baisakhi (Punjab) Puthandu (Tamil Nadu) Ugadi (Karnataka & Andhra Pradesh) Gudi Padva (Maharashtra) Naba Barsha (Bengal) Aluth Avurudhu (Sri Lanka) Vaishakha (Bihar) Nau Roz (Kashmir) Goru Bihu (Assam)
