Juz someone who finds Buddhism helpful in my daily affairs - helping me stay happy & find meaning in life.. and i certainly hope to share tis joy with others as well! Of course, life is not juz abt life philosophy.. i'm also into composing, cooking, business management; self-improvements, photography; swimming.. & more ;PKravenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07619538465187454531noreply@blogger.comBlogger6001100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33591058.post-32961093373588660542011-09-20T20:26:00.002+08:002011-09-20T20:26:52.711+08:00

Life in the past were mostly focused on creating & growing wealth, fame & power. But that was then.. After working for 20 over years, and fortunately or unfortunately I haven't gain much of these wealth, fame & power. And now perhaps I got tired. Perhaps I've learned much from Buddha for the past ten years. Now I focused on the 3 Ls. They are learning, living & loving. Allow me to share more.

Following the Japan tragedy left me teary-eyed and deep thoughts about the impermanence of life.  From the TV news, I can see the resilient spirit of the Japanese people, which really inspire me.  This is hardly possible in other countries. I pray for their quick recovery of the nuclear plants.

In my early 20s I often wondered why married adults had to give red packets to kids & unmarried adults. While I'm happy to receive them and know that it's a tradition, I still wonder what I've done to deserve them. Now that I'm older and married, I still don't quite like the fact that I had to give out red packets freely (almost) regardless if they deserve it or not. My values system prefer to

It's easy to get carried away with discussions and ideas generated.. And loose track of the main purpose of the project or task on hand. Whenever, the discussion seemed to drag or lost its focus, i would always raise the question on what is the purpose of doing this in the first place! And nine out of ten times it works!

Why regret if you cannot do anything about it?The only thing

Ants don't like anything spicy, so cinnamon, black pepper, chili powder or Cayenne Pepper will do the trick. Also they don't like the smell of mint, so if you plant mint around the house the smell will keep them away.I was told to use used coffee grounds (after you made a pot of coffee) and pour on the mounds. It works for me. I have never had to go buy anything else. The ants eventually

It's wonderful to have great neighbours. They are a couple (probably one generation ahead) living just next door. Their grown up kid has married and moved out. ;-)Happened to meet them at a nearby coffeeshop when we were looking for breakfast. They even offer to pay for our meal! So we sat together for breakfast and had a wonderful conversation talking about anything under the sky. Well.. we may

Another disappointing local business in recent days though i met one good optical shop.. This time is Hoiio. When i tried to use the Hoiio iPhone app, it gives me error. I emailed their Support and she called to tell me my account has expired after 6 months of inactivity.

Many years ago i had problem finding a good optical shop who provides good specs range & service. Then a few years ago a friend recommended Vision Image at Ang Mo Kio Ave 8 Blk 709 Singapore, a walking distance from AMK Hub. Since then i've been using Vision Image service and am a happy customer.Just to make my case, i've not bought any specs from them for the past few years. But i've been there

The website looks cool and its offer attractive. But the email booking experience, even before the actual journey begins, was already a let down. Why? Coz when we made our booking, the reservation manager confirmed the wrong date and reassured us that the package included dinner. Then on the day we checked in, the reception said it's not part of the package. Subsequently, the reservation staff

Interesting Greek Gods movie in modern settings.. similar to Harry Potter adventures formula though of a more adult or teens version.. i wouldn't say it's very good but good enough for an enjoyable time at the cinema.

'Everything happens for a reason' is a concept, not an absolute truth. But it's an excellent concept to embrace. It encourages you to look on the bright & positive side of things or life, and it's never harmful.From another perspective, it depends on the context you are referring to. Looking thru the 'cause & effect' lens, then everything does happen for a reason, and the reason is clearly

More than 10 years ago i tasted this salted chicken wings and thought it was fantastic.. it's even more surprising to find out from my colleague's wife that she marinated it with only salt and fried it.. So,.. i have kept that event till today.. and finally decide to try it. True enough, it was a success! My wife loved it and we think it's a simple yet great dish. Will try it again and maybe

It would be a waste to throw the cooked barley away after taking the barley water only.. To reuse, strain out the barley grains as soon as the barley water comes off the heat to prevent them from being too soggy.*Important*: Sweeten the barley water only after the barley grains are removed. You can add cooked barley to soups and stews. Note that it can soak up flavours and release little starch.

This is what i gathered so far..Avocados ripen when they are picked.Some types ripen with skin darkened while other varieties have skin stayed the same.The only sure way is to feel the skin.To choose avocados, hold them gently in your hand & press with pad of your palm. Dont press with your fingers as it will bruise them.Pick those that are firm upon pressing or just a little bit of give.Dont buy
