if there is something that would not change,
it would be "change"



we search high and low for everything..
but end up with nothing..
living with nothing..
doesnt lose anything..
but we make something out from nothing..

intership nowadays!!

hahaz.. super long never update my blog...

hmm... have been interning with Singapore expo for the past few weeks..

travelling to and fro is a problem of 3 hours.. so shiok..

ok.. enough of complaining...

to all who are still studying out there.. enjoy studying.. now i know why everybody say the same thing to me when i was studying..

I have been thinking about this.. we have been searching for what we want for so long.. up and down left and right... but we still seems to still be searching.. when will it ever end?? we look for fame, money and pleasure and at the end of the life, what have we left?? nothing too... so if it is nothing.. then should leave with nothing?? or should we make use of nothing to make something.. apparently.. it seems like it is possible.. this earth also came out from nothing... then suddenly, a big bang came by and here we are... some may say that the big bang is the one.. bt wat could be before that?? only the end of something could be the beginning of a new thing..

so it is either we live with changes or let changes kill us?

change is part of our live and we make it a way of live...

hahaz.. seems like life ain't that easy...

MILK!!

recently there has been the case of the china milk containing melamine.. and could cause drastic effect on the stomach and intestines... hmm.. a lot of us could have been largely affected by this MILK... I thought this is a very interesting case if you want to change your mindset when you face problem...

i received this sms from a friend in my temple saying it is karma... i have been eating white rabbit tooth for the past 10 years... and now it is something that harms the body... and tt's y her body is not in a good condition now.. then my thought next is it only her suffering and no one else? commonly, we will think about others who have also suffered the same way us... then this will lessen the thinking that only me is uffering like tt.. and if you think of those baby that die so young and you have lived till now.. and still breathing now... u feel more fortunate than others.. this will help lessen some of the problem... but if you think that the person who sells and manufacture the white rabbit tooth.. they would suffer more than we do.. not only have they been dealing with business that is unethical... they would have lost their wealth.. on karma language would be... they have recieve negative karma from unethical dealings and exhaust theur postivie karma of wealth... then i know some would say.. they so bad sell this kind of thing.. y shloud we help them? not worth it wadddd... then think about it... they dont it to harm us.. they do it to get their happiness.. they need the money to sustain their life.. they are seeking for their own happiness.. so if u get angry at someone who is looking for happiness.. then u shld be angry at urself too... no matter is it the correct way to acheive happiness or the wrong way.. they are still seeking happiness.. just like u do.. so there is no basis to get angry at them and curse them... and not help them..

i rmbr this discussion with vegans... a person who sells meat is supposingly not ethical in buddhism view.. so they were saying that we should not support the meat seller.. as there is demand and supply... then i ask them the supply comes to us bcux of demand or is it bcux of their "demand"? their demand for own happiness.. with the profits of selling meat they can sustain their living... or is it bcux of demand from our side? i wont deny it is bth... bt dont forget... their motivation is the first one when they starts selling...

so when we face a problem.. it is just changing ur thinking from another side.. and you will realise that there is no basis to get angry... just like the MILK!!

Long Time no Post

Has been a long time since i posted..

OK... Philosophical Jianhong is back...

last week, was having lesson, and my spiritual teacher mentioned about a dead body and why we fear so much of it? Quite funny when i tot of tis situation. When the body of your loved ones is alive, you love it so much and you wont even tink of it dying.. then when it dies... you fear of it so much.. wat a contradictory... it's the same body just that it is without heat onli mahhh.. so y so scared?

then i tot of my own body.. when i die... wat would be own reaction? wat would be everybody's reaction? i tink for my own self, i got to be familiar with the view that this body is transitory... someting tt i use to develop the well being of the mind.. the person who is good is not the body.. it is the mind... so you leave the body behind in the end.. then for others.. i hope that this body would let u all recall of the tiny tiny things i left for u all.. the only thing i can hope is i leave good things for u all.. my body is just someting u all use to recognise me.. bt my memory should be the one that stays with u..

dun tink that i am depressed.. it sounds so... but reality is "cruel".. however "cruelity" moves people thru.. and brings us to removing and defeating "cruelty"... that is wat we all aim for...

i rmbr this story of a person who is scared of a dog.. and just so happen that his teacher is also scared of dogs too.. so one day.. they walked into a park and a dog was running towards them.. the student on first reaction run the opposite direction away from the dog... trying to avoid.. the teacher however.. run towards the dog.. the dog stunned.. slow down and let the teacher pat him... to solve a problem dun run away from it.. face it directly and defeat it...

directness is better than going one big round sometimes...

if one day i leave.. rmbr the happy and crazy moments... and wateva that is on this blog..

hot shot

woohoo!! i found something to do for my holidays.. chase hot shot.. a new taiwan drama serial featuring jerry yan.. luo zhixiang.. and wu zun for fahrenheit... the basketball part interest me most bahh...

anyway.. i am very happy nowadays.. as lesson is over... awaiting attachment to come only.. and i have a very nice someone who will entertain me... :P..

i tink the best thing to have memories that keep it nice... i tend to forget wat is bad... and remember the nice things in life... tt's y i nvr learn from lessons.. unless it hits me hard enough.. poor poor jianhong.. hmm.. hope he imrpoves day by day..

happy happy holidays!

move beyond limits

recently there has been lots of world records that have been broken in the olympics and some may ask if there is any limit to human potential? So it has shown that people has limitless power and potential.. just look at phelps and usain bolt.. they have done impossible by another... but this is not all till my friend introduce me to this 2 person.. dick and rick hoyt..

rick hoyt is the son of dick hoyt.. rick hoyt is born with the umbilical cord strap around the neck and nearly died due to lack of oxygen... however.. due to it he has body defects that he can't walk or talk... he is just like a vegetable... however.. dick and his wife still persist to bring tis kid up... then one day... rick got a machine that can help him talk... by means of some physics tinggg... dun get how people do it... and he went to school and even got a degree from BOSTON UNIVERSITY!! just tink of it... a normal person like me is sitting here tinking of how to get into uni... he is already in there and got a degree.. This is not all.. in school he learn of a race for the disabled and he asked his father to join... so since rick cant run... dick has to carry him on his wheelchair and wheel him through the whole distance.. and tis is not all... dick has just got a heart attack a month ago before the race... but he still said yes... OMG! runing 5 km with heart problem.... i can tink when i am panting how much i am complaining... but he still wants to run for his son... even it might cost his life.. they have runned 90 over races... 50 over marathon and even the IRON MAN... this is how much a human can go... how much a father can go for his son...

love can make a person do anything for anyone... without boundaries and wittout condition... this is just a case..

quotes..

each choice we make causes a ripple effect in our life.
when things happen to us, it is the reaction we choose that can create the difference
between the sorrow of our past and joy in the future......

Change the way you see everything

tis is a book i read... and i find it very interesting... it is called change the way you see everyting..

wat was focused is asset based thinking or abt in short... let me start with this quote..
"when you change the way you see things, the things you see will change.. "

1st part... just tink of this 3 tings.. if you focus your attention on
1) opportunities rather than problem
2) Strengths than weakness
3) what can be done instead of wat can't

ABT helps change your view of things, your life... it also helps focus on opportunities.. and solve problems in a proactive, efficient way.

Imagine you are hit with a project due ytd... if you say OMG! nt possible... or just jump in and do it... which one will benefit more?

start with changing your view in the way you see urself... then others.. then situations... u will realise tt u can be a much more efficient person... solving problems... and everyting arnd u would be in the correct mode..

How to view yourself.. focus wat's your best and think wat's next.. always when faced with problem... tink of wat u are best at.. wat's ur asset.. and use it to solve ur problem... use your asset as the ting tt push you toward your desire... and here... i am goin to say.. use ur desire and use ur asset together to achieve ur goals... they push u near it... naturally u will focus on how to do it.. and not how i cannot do it...

how to view the ppl around u.. use your postive filters.. tink of wat is positive abt the other person when u c them... tis create a connection btw the bth of u all.. the other person dun feel any harm... and will naturally approach u... remember.. everybody has an instinct that you will work with them or work against them.. and when we see our ppl we like.. we always aim to be like them... so i am going to tell u to do a shameless ting... imitate them no matter who criticise u... one day u will be there like them.. here i will end with a quote " in everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. it is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those ppl who rekindle the human spirit."

how about situations... the wider the lens the better the view.. see more... take threat as challenge. see the problem as a pause.. then use ur hindsight + insight to solve a problem... use your imagination and you will do it.. tink as far as possible... even if it cant happen... u nid time.. if it happens immediately... u oso wont want it.. tink tt u want to fly on an aircraft.. and next moment you are in the sky... u wont want tt... it will happen.. as long as u imaigine hard enough. another quote by Einstein.. "I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more imprtant than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."

hahaz.. so go beyond and see the rainbow... visit the website to see more of it...

u want to be a champion???

get a watch made in china...

cux it is record breaking....

tink olympic!!!!

ethical or non ethical???

hahaz... i recently have a question.. y does one bcum a vegan? hmm.. cux killing them are cruel?!!

hmm.. then my nxt qn... so u shld eat genetically modified food.. from test tube.. cux they do not require killing at all mah??? n furthermore... u tink grow veggy nvr kill meh??? do u happen to know how many caterpillars are killed? earthworms are killed? hmm.. consider tis??? u may argue tt it is nt direct?? how can it be.. it is so direct tt for veggy u killed them... by ploughing... by removing their "house"... if u say tis is indirect.. u are also saying tt ppl who kill indirectly are nt killing oso... so does tt mean tt being a vegan is necessary holy??

oh ya... tis is nt a factor tt i stopped being a vegan.. bt it is one ting to consider abt?? how valid is a person who eat veggy bcux of reducing killing??

one has to be very clear of wat is their motive... and nt just follow.. or izit singaporean.. just follow lorrr... i tink tt sometimes.. we are so gd at saying yes or no... bt if someone say the opposite.. we cant defend ourselff... cux we dont have a reason to it... or we do not analyze it enough... till now.. i would say jazreel is one person i admire... she can hold her views well...

ok.. enough of philosophy.. congrats singapore tennis going to get gold or silver!! well done... finally!!!!!! i tot going to be me go get for Singapore liao... wahahahahaa!!

Mum wife or daguhter???

ok... i just witnessed tis situation i tink quite intersting...

mum is sick with lao ren chi dai zhen.. diabetes.. and she is admitted into hospital... lost a lot of blood.. need transfusion... bt apparently her rare blood very difficult to find... so onli gt a few packets of it in the blood bank...

wife apparently nt so gd... say dun sponsor the medical treatment.. gt so many sons and daughters.. so should share.. bt apparently... the husband is the most well to do...

then the daughter met with an accident... oso needs blood transfer... so heng heng happen.. oso the blood type the same as the grandma... alamak... bth need bloodd...

so if i am the husband.. hu will i save?? most prob i will heck care the wife and sponsor bth the medical treatmentsss... and also... i will save the daughter... bcux i believe my mum know the love for her own kids.. n she can understand how i would have felt... one very nice ting my mum and dad taught is to give without asking for returns... though my mum have gave me everyting in her life.. bt she would nt expect returns.. of cux i still will give her sometingsss... so i will save my daughter...

heartache

woohoo... still heart aching over the problems... luckily i am jianhong the happy go lucky... or elsee... dunno wat might happen... ok.... today's philosophy.. does jianhong heart ache or does nt/

ok let's look at the 2 extremes.. on 1 side... can be a person.. damn stress.. every smalll problem bcum sky wanna fall down... on the other side... nt stress at all.. like as if the sky nvr exist b4... so lesson no.1... don't stress ur self overly... bt dun put urself too slack... one eg... guitar... to play the best music.. u cannot have the string too tight.. also nt too loose.. so sama sama.. maju kehadapan..

how to be nt too slack.. i tink dun nid elaborate much... cux SINGAPOREANS...

ok how nt to overstress?? hmm.. first.. i tink we nid to focus on the problem... ok.. in this case.. heartache over L___.. wat cause the heartache? u cause it? who are u? is the body u? or the thoughts u? or is it combination of the above? or just part of the above? tink and tink... u will realise tt the problem actualli is u leh... the problem is just there... they wont harm us and wont hurt us.. it is like eating slightly contiminated food... it wont harm us or hurt us much.. (much is emphasised cux it is nt like nth as the meaning implied)... bt once u know it drops to the ground.. wat's the nxt tot... ltr vomit and stomach poisoning how? so the problem we face in our life is the same... they are there.. bt we over elaborate it... then from no problem bcum armagedon...

hahaz... some ppl might say... aiyoh.. do so many of such analysis for wat?!?! bt havent u realise tt by just tinkin like tt... u have aladi left the problem aside and furthermore search for an answer thru it...

try try c c... maybe can help...

daily quotes

Someone can harm ur body and mind...
Most of the time.. U cannot prevent ur body from being harmed...
But u can prevent ur mind from being harmed..
Thus.. protect ur mind..

Small small jianhong

lesson...

attended lesson on 7 point mind training at Amitabha Buddhist Centre.. and i find this part damn interesting.. i would call the title.. obsession with present life!

Most of the time... Buddhist talk abt death liek nobody problem... y? to reduce the obsession with present life... bt isit necessary? what is the purpose?

Think about it... a person who is totally obsessed with present life... so he works for goals of this life.. maybe like want to be a millionaire.. ok... so he will work for it no matter how busy he is... realise his life damn busy.. a type of suffering liao?? ok... then he will do it by any means... since concern abt tis life.. kill oso dun care.... alamakk!!! bad karma... then bcums millionaire tot will be happily ever after... wat happen.. scared money lost... aiyoohhh.. another suffering.. worse is... when he tot become millionaire can be happily ever after.. wat happen?? brings him another worry... so we can see obsession with present life creates problemssssss...

ok then how abt a person who tink of future live? ok... he might work for goals for tis life.. bt tt is nt his focus.. so he will nt do anyting as mentioned above.. moreover.. tis will also give him the chance to realise true happiness.. and how to achieve it... one way is to tink that whatever problem his face.. someone aon earth somewhere experience the same ting.. so.. u are nt the only one.. and then tink.. just like urself want to be free from pain and want happiness.. so does all the humansss around u... so wat's the diff?? we shld work for true happiness!! hahaz.. wich is to gurantee gd future lives... bt even with gd future lives.. dun forget u must still work hard.. cux u can still fall back to lower rebirth..

now.. death is nt someting to scare a buddhist.. bt it is to motivate one to tink hard abt one's life and actions...

wishes?

hahaz... have been thinking about some of the things that we want in this life... ok.. i hope to realli study some philosophical tings for my degree... go to nepal again... and "u"...

ok... wishes.. on first tot is someting that we feel that it is so far away... and how to achieve... ok... then my nxt qn... then how u goin to get it if u tink it is far away?? if u tink that tings are nt achievable.. .definitely it is nt! ok.... then how? we have to say to ourself we can do it??? ya.. we do.. bt tis does nt mean that we don't need to work for it.. so a new presentation of wishes... using the goal as your journey...

so let's take the nxt stress tt is comin EXAMSS!! so we want to get results.. so let's say be realistic lah... B+ for all modules... so u will tell urself ok.. i will get tt results... then tink of how u feel and what it is like to have those resultss... ok... imagine as vividly ah.. then frm the results wich is the end... take a step back on how u goin to achieve it.. then slowly slowly link back...

perhaps tis is a way.. i dunno how true... bt i use it once in a while... most of the time it workss... surprisingly the results can appear more than wat u expected... can try try everybody.. bt if ur exams fail dun find mee...

i got tis inspirations from the movie "the secret". it is a documentary.. so must prepare ur tidbitsss..

daily quotes

It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to not harm them.
–His Holiness the Dalai Lama

relationshipsss...

hmm.. facing with relationships problem tis few dayss.. hmm.. here it goes..

A like B.. and B has no feelings.. A has foolishly rejected B in the past.. and now seeking B again when B no longer has feelings... so a bit stupid.. some say a bit JIAN.. ok... so now A a bit sian sian lahhh.. however.. life's move on... everyting shall be alright... TIME WILL HEAL..

ok.. enough with complaining.. let's look at some reflections of small small jianhong when he was sad... OHYA.. craps like this will be said in this blog... can agree or disagree.. bt if it helps u.. continue.. if it doesnt... rmbr everybody is diff..

1) Why do I feel sad when the relationship didn't work out?
2) what is the purpose of relationship?

ok first qn..
a bit lame to ask this... but if we remain sad and do nothing abt it.. doesnt help right?! i rmbr this scene in this movie "patch adam", so it goes something like that.. 2 siao ting tong in a hospital talking to each other.. and this siao patient told patch... come.. hold out ur fingers in front of my face.. so patch guai guai follow a siao ting tong instructions!! then.. the siao ting tong said... no don't focus on the fingers... focus on my faceee... then he said.. we usually focus too much with the problems which are the fingers... however, we should look beyond and to the solution which is his face.. so don't look down on siao ting tong!!.. then... the solution??? hahaz... can't tink much.. bt just say time will heal.. then work on it.. i believe i nt tt powerful to gace a problem rationally immediately.. however.. if u tt powerful.. u shld do it.. n nt do someting so low class.. ok.. so tis is one ting i learnt..

then.. why relationship? first ting tt comes to me.. she can make me happy lor... then comes a phrase in my mind.. a person's happiness is due to the giving/suffering of another person... hmm.. ok... to clarify.. i saying in a low level... giving shldn't be suffering... bcux in the mind of great ppl like mother theresa... giving is nt a suffering.. ok.. then she suffer just to make me happy?!! a bit wrong rite... so i suggest.. maybe a relationship shld be are you ready to suffer for another person?!!! nt the usual tinkin of can she make me happy??!! hahaz.. very subjective.. very razy.. bt tt shld be it i tot..

i am damn noob in blog

hahaz... just set up tis blog.. wah biang.. realised how noob i wasss... bt it's the content tt matters.. so enjoy the times after tiss...
