Grip

Tze Lun — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 12:33:15 +0000

Ever had the feeling that something is just about within your reach but you just can’t seem to get a hold of it?

Like picking a marble out of soap water with a pair of chopsticks.

Sure, the marble is right in front of you. You could pick it up with your hands. Or you could pour away the soap water. Or you could use a spoon. Or you could…

But what if the only correct way is to pick it up with chopsticks?

Will you persevere, believing that one day you could perhaps catch the marble for good, ignoring the fact that the likelihood of actually getting a grip on the marble with chopsticks is as low as… well, picking up a marble out of soap water with a pair of chopsticks.

Pour the soap water away, pick the marble up with your hands and be done with it.

Forget about the marble.

Tough choice?

Tough. No matter the choice, there is no win-win situation.

Night Markets in Kuala Lumpur

For once, I’m attempting to make a useful post. I’m trying to compile a list of night markets or pasar malam in KL, the reason being I sometimes get the urge to visit one but not knowing where there will be one at certain times. I can’t find a list on the net so I decided to make my own.

There’s no way I would know of each and every pasar malam out there, so I’d be glad if anyone could update the list below if the pasar malam in question is not listed.

Monday
SS2, Petaling Jaya

Tuesday
Sri Petaling (Near The Store)

Wednesday
Taman Connaught, Cheras

Thursday
Bandar Tun Razak (Beside football field)
OUG
Chow Yang, Petaling Jaya

Friday
Taman Desa
Sri Petaling (Near Endah Parade)

Saturday
Taman Midah, Cheras
Bangsar
Happy Garden (Near OUG)

Sunday
Taman Megah, Petaling Jaya
Taman Tun Dr. Ismail
Happy Garden (Another side (?))

Can you believe he’s only a couple of days old in this picture? Look at the amount of hair he has! We’re expecting him to be afro-headed very soon.

I haven’t had the chance to see him personally yet, but I’ll be with him very soon.

Somewhat Still Alive

This blog has been coldheartedly abandoned by the owner.

Okay maybe it’s time to ~~turn it into the awesomest blog on the Internet~~ revive it.

I promise to make attempts to blog more.

P/S: Note the word ‘attempt’

True or False

Why do we have fingerprints? I remember being taught that it was to improve our grip. It made sense, and it still does. It’s difficult to find any reasons to attempt to disprove that, when we all have the preconception that it is undoubtedly true.

But is it?

Apparently not.

Which brings me to this point – how true are the things we thought were true?

Complacency happens, it’s just human nature. Wonderful things in life, things the more unfortunate people can only dream for, gets taken for granted. And when we do, we fail to question. Just because people tell us – it’s like that – doesn’t make it any truer than we telling ourselves – it’s not like that.

It’s not about science. Not everything can be proved or disproved through science. But what is certain is that when we do not question, truth is nothing more than prejudice. People have their own version of believes, people have their own justifications, people have their own truths.

Nobody is to blame, because nobody is at fault. Like how beauty is in the eye of the beholder, truths can be imprinted into one’s mind by one’s believes, and believes are never as simple as right or wrong.

Question – we may or may not find an answer which is not the same as what we want to believe. We may or not find the absolute truth. If there’s even such a thing.

But, question.

Sometimes, we do something in order to find out the reason for it. Our actions are questions, not answers. There are two sides to every question. And to every answer you find, begets two more questions.

Start questioning.
