Wah, if I really win lottery ticket ah, I donate half of the winning to the needy.... I promise... Hahahaha, just by thinking I feel so excited.

Emotion


Emotion is a mental state that arises spontaneously rather than through conscious effort and is often accompanied by physiological changes. Unlike moods they have objects: one grieves over some particular thing, or is angry at something.

Why is emotion worth studying? To a lesser context, it leads to argument, break up, and unpleasant feelings. To a larger context, it leads to bad health and death.

Too often, the spark of an argument is because of unpleasant word from a particular person. Have you ever wonder, how do you hear something, pleasant or unpleasant. It's the vibration of air particle, with a string of organize 'voice' it becomes word.

Let's see how emotion started, 1st you see or hear something, then that the brain process that message, if it's something you do not like, you get angry, if it's something you like, you feel happy.

Since we can't control what we see or hear, to control our emotions, we have to control how our brain process these messages.

As said, words are just a string of organize voice. And too often, same words from different person have different emotion outcome. With the one closest to you bring most vulnerable to your 'emotion outbreak'.

Let's try to listen to what your love one tries to tell you and not by hearing what the words are. What sounds unpleasant is just your own perceptions. When your love one complain on something, don't just hear the complains, listen to them. Know what they need, what is the reason behind the complain.

Well, it's easier to said than done. And it's not a 1-hour process. Just try to love the one that love you, and when you've done done, extend this logic be loving someone that hates you.

Evolution Vs Creation


I remembered when I was in secondary school, knowing that I'm a christian, some friends challenge me about the theory of evolution vs theory of creation...

I didn't know what to say, because the text book tells you that Theory of Evolution is the ultimate theory on how we are here... Theory of Evolution said that human's existence are mere coincident, coincidentally micro-organism in the water evolve to fish, reptiles, birds and mammals. Then coincidentally 1 species of mammal evolved and became human...

Some problems with this theory though. Where did the human emotions, such as love, hate, and jealousy come from? Assuming that micro-organism has love, hate and jealousy.

What are the odds that the evolutionary process, proceeding by random changes, would produce human beings, plus millions of species of animals, birds, fish, and insects, all with symmetrical features? If evolution is a random process, why are all animals have symmetrical features?

What are the odds that of the millions of species of animals, birds, fish, and insects, a male of each species developed at the same time and in the same place as a female of the same species, so that the species could propagate? If evolution is a random process, why do the male and female of the same species evolve at the same time?

Why are there 2 sexes anyhow?

If the first generation of mating species didn't have parents, how did the mating pair get to that point anyhow? Isn't evolution supposed to progress when an offspring of a mating pair has a beneficial mutation? Conclusion: No parents, no evolution. A species would have to jump from a primitive form to a fully developed male and female, each with the ability and instinct to mate.

How did the heart, lungs, brain, stomach, veins, blood, kidneys, etc. develop in the first animal by slow, minute steps and the animal survive while these changes were occurring?

Did the first animal develop 10% of complete veins, then 20%, and on up to 100%, with veins throughout its entire body and brain? Then how did the heart slowly develop in the animal and get attached to the veins in the right spot?

How did the blood enter the system? The blood could not enter before the veins were complete or it would spill out. Where did the blood come from? Did the blood have red corpuscles, white corpuscles, platelets, and plasma? At what point in this process of development did the heart start beating?

My conclusion is that there are no proof to evolution theory and they may not be able to proof the Creation theory. But why is evolution theory universally accepted if there's no proof of it and be considered as "Facts"??? This of course is an admission that the foundation of evolution is not science, but a rejection of the supernatural. Evolution then is simply the best alternative anyone has been able to come up with.

As far as my knowledge of science stretch, there's no other science field like the evolution theory, where one decides on the answer first, and then looks for evidence to support that predetermined answer.

X'mas gift

It was 25th December 2008. SyinNi bought me a present, I didn't think that she got the time to buy a present for me... Somehow she managed to crawl out of her 'tight' baby feeding, housewife schedule, and go for present shopping for me...

In the other hand, me too wanted to buy something for her. But my only free time is after work, everytime I finished work, I just wanna go back and rest... Until 2 days before X'mas... I go to City Mall after my dinner... And go for present shopping, finally...

I managed to get something for SyinNi finally...

On X'mas day, I received SyinNi's present, it's a shirt, I didn't have this kinda shirt, and I was complaining that everytime I go to wedding dinner, I couldn't get something decent to put on... And she kept that in mind, and bought me something I really like...

I give SyinNi the present I bought, she seems happy and liked it. But I think man like me tends to get something we think it's useful, and practical... I don't think I got her what she needs, but what I think she needs...

I should be more mindful of SyinNi's need... Not just on material wise, maybe I should be more sensitive to everything she needs.

Where were I?

I always have this thought, that where were I before I was born? Yeah, God created me, but what about before He created me? Was I a dust in the heaven, that when God decided to create me, he plucked a dust from the air, and blew to a 'mould', then became me???

No one knows... Don't really care.... Well, we don't know how Coca-Cola is manufactured, but we're fine with it, coz it tastes good...

Just like how I don't really care how God made me, coz he gave a perfect life to me... Did I just said 'perfect'???

My goodness, I’m 27 years old

Well, I’m not exactly 27 years old ( my birthday’s on May). Time flies, and I just realised it today that it flies in supersonic speed.

I remembered that I was one of those guys that stand in front of our classroom and play “secu”(Security)… It’s basically grabbing a random classmate, then take off his pants… Yeah, I know, it’s stupid, but it was fun and no one really got mad.

Then, puff… I remembered going to Cherating with my uni-mates, without even a proper planning, didn’t even know how to go there even when we reach Kuantan, didn’t know where to stay… We just talked about it, everyone agreed, next day in the morning, we’re off to Cherating…

Again, puff… I’m like what I saw in the movie 10 years ago, after a tiring day in work. Come back, had dinner, play with little Joel, then rock him to sleep…

And while rocking him, I looked at him, and I looked at my father… And I was thinking, I was like Joel, so innocent…. And I will be like my father, losing hair, helping Joel to take care of his baby, and grumbling this and that…

I’m a normal man, in a normal life… I always hoped that my life will be full of adventure, just like the main cast in most of the movie, when I was young… But to be a normal man, in a normal life is the greatest gift to me… I believe that to live a normal life and to be able to appreciate every thing around you is the key to a happy life, just don’t ignore the people around you and take them for granted.

It’s ok to live a normal life, just don’t live life normally…
