"I am the most potent force in the Universe. I am exactly as the Universe intended at each and every moment. I may change tomorrow, and become more powerful yet"

.

Me: dear..what does powerful means..?

Tz: allow yourself a bit of credit.....even arrogance, at least in your own mind.....feel empowered, for you are....

Tz: powerful.......strong, mighty, without fear....without equal

Me: I think i have too much humility

Tz: and the best part is........everyone in the universe is equally as powerful.....for they are exactly as the universe intended...

Tz: humility to the outside is good......

Tz: but to be humble......you have to have faith in yourself....

Tz: to stand amidst chaos and be at peace :-)

Me: yes thats true

Me: :)))

Linkin Park Meteora's "Somewhere I Belong"

(When this began)
I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That I’m not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I’ve got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck/ hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

[Chorus]
I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I’ve held so long
(Erase all the pain till it’s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real
I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

And I’ve got nothing to say
I can’t believe I didn’t fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere only to find
That it’s not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I)
What do I have but negativity ’Cause I can’t justify the way, everyone is looking at me
(Nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain/ hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

[Repeat Chorus]
I will never know myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel anything else, until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything till
I break away from me
I will break away, I'll find myself today

[Repeat Chorus]
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong

Placebo Med's "Because i want you"

Fall into you
Is all I seem to do
When I hit the bottle, ‘cause I’m afraid to be alone
Tear us in two, is all it seems to do
As the anger fades, this house is no longer our home
Don’t give up on the dream
Don’t give up on the wanting
And everything that’s true
Don’t give up on the dream
Don’t give up on the wanting
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you
Stumble into you, is all I ever do
My memory’s hazy and I’m afraid to be alone
Tear us in two, is all it’s gonna do
As the headache fades, this house is no longer our home
Don’t give up on the dream
Don’t give up on the wanting
And everything that’s true
Don’t give up on the dream
Don’t give up on the wanting
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you
Fall into you is all I ever do!
When I hit the bottle ‘cause I’m afraid to be alone
Tear us in two
Tear us in two
Tear us in two
Because I want you too
Because I want you too

The US Presidential Election
.
Dear my USA friends,
.
Thanks for visiting my blog, i am honoured and i hope you find it easy to read :). I'll be very straight to the point, please do consider to cast your vote for the presidential candidate that is more environmentally friendly.

.

Democrats seems to have a more comprehensive plan to address these issues than the Republican (http://election2008.aaas.org/comparisons/).

.

The reason i am concern (enough to motivate me to write in my blog) is because USA is the biggest producer of GHGs in the world today. Time is running short for the planet and the power to change this is in the hands of the voters in America which has an impact to all of us watching from afar (we do not have another 10 more years).

.

with lots of love,

kitty

What is Climate Change?

"Climate change is the change in climate over time whether due to natural variability or as a result of human activity"
.

The earth is warming up because of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted from burning of fossil fuel by vehicles and power plants, deforestation, and other sources accumulating in the atmosphere, acting as a thick blanket over our planet.

.

The consequences of global warming are the increase in atmospheric temperature, melting of premafrost in the Artic and Antartic, resulting in the rise of sea level.

.

The negative impact of global warming on global hydrological cycles affects the amount and patterns of rainfalls causing extreme events such as prolonged droughts or floods.

.

We can fight Climate Change today!!!

The Book of 5 Rings

Musashi lead 2 principles on ancient martial and strategic traditions:

-Keeping inwardly calm and clear even in the midst of violent chaos
-Not forgetting about the possibility of disorder in times of order

Marriage

Its like i am suddenly awake and realises that i was married to my job, and had been married to my job for a long time, come to think of it, was it a marriage of convenienced...?

Its been a crazy last few weeks, my calendars are double, triple and quatro booked, I had been to numerous airports, hotels and unending teleconferences :), not complaining, just capturing state of the moment for future evaluation.

(inspired by the Botanical Gardens of Hohenheim, Stuggart Germany dated 13 May 2007)

A Romance with Spring

The wild flowers are booming

Yellow, white and blue, small and tiny, long and rounded

The trees are green, strong and happy

The smell of the air, so fresh and sweet, so inviting and peaceful

The strong wind blows, it tingles my left cheek like sharp paper cutting through my skin

Its cold, I shivers

Above and around me, the tree branches dances along with the wind

A perfect symponic orchestra of natural tempo can be heard

Leaves rustle fiercely breaking the morning silence

Not far away, an old man sat on a bench waiting for the world to go by

and to the right, three teenage boys try to climb a tree

As i sat under a tree, closed my eyes, clear my thoughts to be in the moment with Spring

Savoring the moments in her mind to be cherished, this passerby continues her journey.

The people has chosen

Today is a historical day in Malaysia, we formed a new government which consists of at least 80 opposition seats in the Parliament, out of 216 seats. This ends the 50 years reign of Barisan National with more than 2/3 majority.

The people has chosen.

5 states fell to the opposition party, DAP, PKR and PAS. It is a suprising result indeed and the degree of change was totally unexpected.

We now watching out for the "Winds of change"

The Wanderer

Lady in white
Walks on the edge
Threads dangerous waters
Conquers steep mountains
Rides the sand dunes
Pearches on the cliff
Gazes far beyond the horizon
Contemplating
Remembering
A smile slowly blossom on her face
Now radiance as sakura in spring

The door of my heart is open to life, life, you are welcome to come in :)))

Yoga again

It's been a while and i went back to Vinyasa class yesterday...heheh...guess what?...stretch...stretch...open...open...reach up...look up...our instructor commanded. At first, i cant even do a proper downward dog pose...due to a full class of enthusiasts, I have to also play my part :) "show off"

Then the instructor ask, "who had practiced yoga less than 3 months?" upwards goes my right hand...haha it turned out we didn't have to do headstand using the chair :))) So, we watched...it looks easy enough..LOL.

Yoga always feels good!
