A Meditation Session



Meditation is not for the crazies, that is my belief because if that is the case, prayers should be rendered for the crazies too. I mean, meditation is all about breathing and focusing on the NOW because the mind wonders and wanders so much, no? So, to me, it is like prayer, when Christians pray to God and when Muslims perform their form of prayer. It is a form of slowing down, release and then letting everything go. To Christians and Muslims, they find faith and trust in God.

But meditation is harder than praying, IMPO, because you have to find a center. A calm focus.

Here's how my sessions go.

'Shit, it's late, I have to get dinner ready'
'OK, you thought about dinner. Now let that go. Stay'

2 seconds later.

'The kids are watching too many YouTube videos'
'OK, you thought about the kids. Let that go. Stay'.

4 seconds later.

'I have to invoice my client tomorrow. Been delaying that all week'
'OK, you thought about your client. Let it go. Stay'

6 seconds later.

'I'm fat'
'No you're not. Let that go. Stay.'

5 seconds later.

'Ahyeong-haseyo'
'You've been watching too many Korean dramas. But fine, you thought about a Korean word. Let it go. Stay'

9 seconds later.

'I'm fecking sleepy weiiii'
'Ish. OK, fine, FEEL sleepy but don't judge yourself, OK? Let it go. Stay'.

7 minutes later.

'Is it 20 minutes yet?'
"......Stay'

2 seconds later.

'I said, IS IT 20 MINUTES YET??!'
'Loser'.

And so here I am. Blogging.

Disclaimer: Please read this in jest and not read too much, too deep or too fast into anything that you read in this blog post (or anywhere else in this blog) because of religious issues. I actually meditate fine and this is written completely in jest. I don't take myself too seriously so please don't kill yourself by taking me too seriously. Most of the time, I'm just a joke. Thanks.

A Liberating Activity - Guess What Mine Is....

When asked what’s my one single favorite thing to do in the world, I would usually name a whole list of things that I love to do when my work is not screaming at me. Something that takes my mind COMPLETELY off of everyday tasks and relaxes me. Take a guess what it is…. If you say ‘ reading ’, yes, I love reading (especially soppy love stories with lots of sex scenes, please. Hee hee hee ….) and I also love mystery novels but it’s not the first on the list. If you say ‘ playing the piano ’; yes, I love playing the piano. Creating forms a huge part of my life and whenever I play the piano (as inept at it as I am), there’s this tiny little girl inside of me jumping up and down with glee, clapping her hands. It’s my childhood dream to be able to play the piano! And thumping on the keys gives me a sense of satisfaction when I hear the music. If you say ‘ writing ’; You’ve got to be kidding me! You mean I don’t write enough as it is? Case closed. If you say ‘ playing with my kids ’; Yea...

Malaysian Election 2008 - Malaysians ready for change

The political wrestle is over, here in Malaysia, and thankfully too because it earned me a hangove from watching the news, and reading all the readily available blogs on cyberspace all night long. With a spilting headache from squinting into the PC screen, watching the TV for news on the results from the ballot boxes, anxiety, uncertainty and HOPE lingers in the air..... BN, our ruling party in Malaysia, who has been flexing its political muscles for a long time now with the confident (and ever sleepy and gay) PM convincing Malaysians that BN is the only way to peace. Opposition cannot hold the fort properly, though, because the formation and coalition between them is too loose. But with BN denied the 2/3 majority it needed, all I can say is that Pak Lah tore a tendon while flexing his political muscles. Fed up, fed up, fed up - Malaysians are fed up A lot of Malaysians chose not to vote for the oppositition IN THE PAST because we wanted unity, we resisted change because of a date w...

Demanding a Balanced Lifestyle

We live in a world choked with demands….demand for more money, better lifestyle, more holidays, smarter kids, bigger house, posher cars….etc. People walk around with spiritually unimportant goals in their minds driven by the need to succeed and be better than others around them. Hong Kong. South Korea. Japan. Most Asian countries suffer from this ill-fate which have caused a horrific rise in the number of suicide rates in the said countries. Malaysia is no exception as well although we’re very slowly gaining ground on our neighbors. Just picking up my son from school can become a stressful affair. I’ve mentioned this to a few friends of mine over the phone and all of them cluck their tongue shake their head. It’s end of the year and the kids are getting their test results back by now. I overheard a couple of tai-tais (housewives) gripe about their kids’ results. Mom: I don’t know-lah. My kid did not do very well this term. The best also got 95 only. (NINETY FIVE ONLY???) ...
