Meh, I thought I'd pick up this blog and start writing again. hahaha.
Oh, how times have changed. I am sitting in the middle of July, trying to wrap up whatever I have achieved and preparing for the daunting As ahead. While trying my best to slack in between and steal some laughter from thin air. Oh well, that's life!
Why the sudden continuation, you ask? Did I fall in love again? Perhaps, because to be honest, these streams of literature (which is hopefully slightly better than a piece of rubbish) may be sparked from my love affairs. But nope, I came to conclusion that the traces of memories I left behind turns out to be nuggets of gold for inspirations and ideas years ahead. (Not really all of them, some of them are complete crap, but really entertaining.)
Anyway, I was planning to ramble on about my casing's development and new insights, but since time is pressing and I have to embark for a dinner with my grandparents and my dad and younger brother, I'll end off here. Cheers for a new start! :)

mhmm, so I wanted to add on but was too lazy to start a new post. Anyway just a few insights for the night and I'm off to bed.. hehe. Firstly, never underestimate the power of your thoughts, to be more exact, the power of positive thoughts, gratitude, and love. I've been experimenting with thoughts and feelings, and spooky (but real awesome) results sprung up. Thanked for slimmer body I lost 7kg. Thanked for money I received hundreds of dollars. Thanked for girls suddenly the particular girl I like asked me out for a drink. Thank you :)
Even stronger than thoughts are your feelings. I cannot really quantify how thoughts relate to your feelings; whether one is borne out of another or coexist from a same source. Yet I know feelings are hundreds, if not thousands times stronger than my thoughts, especially for an idealist optimist like me :) Anyway, I was reading this book by Ajahn Chah, he was talking about observations and all. So I decided to give it a shot, when a less than neutral (unfavourable) thoughts/feelings sprung up, I observed it instead of running away from it. And hey, guess what, doing so produces interesting results! With thoughts all jumbled up, (I) can't really describe the sensation (my body) experiences. Just that (I) feel it is much easier for (me) to detach from (my) thoughts. Notice the parentheses? Go figure. :)
There is no such thing as an impure mind. Impure thoughts cloud the mind, just as mud and sand suspend in murky water. The two exist independently, they are discrete, they are not borne out of another. Let the mud and sand settle, and you shall see the depth, the threshold, the true gauge, of your mind.
