Life could be as simple as "I love u". It don't have to be said and crafted in gold and let all other people know about it. I love to live a life that is simple, yet lovely, and full of unspoken love.
It would be nice if we just know that we are living with a person who care, love and happy to be with us. Sometimes, simple thing that we do in daily life would be a proof that we're in love. Big boom bang of something sometimes just full of nothing.

Reality of broken society
The globalization have made this world small. Japan and Malaysia is just about a second away from each other. I can get to my mother anywhere she is. I can get hold of my friends and ask for help anytime. It is really convenience.
The big BUT comes after that. The Mumbai blast that last yesterday is the results of the damage world. Soul or life means nothing. The young so called Muslim extremists took 100 plus persons life just to make a point. The prejudice will blame the entire group, the Muslims.
Blame the Americans and Jewish, killed 100 plus of them. Will this end the case? No. It will be going on and on. The Americans and Jewish will blame Muslims. At the end, it is just like the story of egg and chicken. The blaming and accusations will never stop. The killing will never stop. A sad story to read to start my day.
What is the connection between the two, globalization and the extremist? The technology! It was very sad for me to read that they were in their early 20's. I saw a picture that one of them was walking with gun holding down from his right shoulder. It reminds me of young kamikaze jet fighters during world war II. The different between them is that this group of young extremists were successfully brainwashed till they think that killing is pardon. If they read the Koran correctly, it is not. They will never win this war by being like this. They are only cracking the stability of life other people have.
In one of they phone called made to the TV station, one of them asked where the world when their mothers and sisters were killed. Did they think killing another innocent people will bring back the death. We just need to stop the death from keep happening. Killing another innocent human is just proving that you're as bad as they are.

Why keep our soul?
Many songs talk about soul. What is soul? Why soul?
Soul according to wikipedia is "the immaterial part of a person. It is usually thought to consist of one's thoughts and personality, and can be synonymous with the spirit, mind or self". As for me it is the real thing of me.
People may see me in any way they project. They can see my face only. They can see my brain only. They can see me as a woman. They can see me as a helpless creature. They can see me as a person who is good or even bad. They can see me by the clothes that I choose to wear, by my walking styles or anything. But, my soul is immaterial. They can't see the real me under the skin. Under their eyes, I could be anyone.
The best thing about having the soul is we can choose who we want to be. Clear the mind. Think with the open heart. Talk to our soul. Ask the God to guide. Keep your soul clean and pretty because they are the real person underneath the skin and bone. Pretty face does not mean pretty soul. Bad face with bad soul is the worst thing people can ask for.

Are we human enough?
In this world, human are considered the best and complete animal. We can speak, think, see and have emotion and able to use all the four abilities to live in this world conveniently. Besides that we still show our animal characteristics in everyday life like kill, rape, jealous, anger and other bad manners. Are we human enough? Ask our self the next time we want to do something bad. It only takes a second to analyse if we are human or beast. Pause and think.

When we care...
I do think a lot, most of the time even while sleeping. That's why I can't get good sleep if I have something in my mind, some 'mind' unfinished business.
Going back to the topics, last night I talked to my mother. We may not agree on a lot of things but it's common because of generation's gap. It's never an issue between us. But one thing that both of us share is that we're the first child in the family.
I can hear some frustration in her voices and sentences when she talked about her family, which is my extended family. She seems so concern that some of her siblings made a pass when comes to one of their sister's family, she passed away about 10 years ago. I can fully understand her.
Asian family is a close knit family. We are supposed to know each other so well. In some families, three generations can still live together. Probably my mother is fearing the worst. Of course nobody wants their family to fell apart. The worst will come when they do not even know who is who amongst the family members.
My mother cares about her family. However, being a woman she can't do much because she was a married woman back then. Fully dependent to my father made her more cripple in the sense of being the first born in the family. But she cares a lot. As do I. Solution: we still do have other options if the world is against us. We can directly go to the world's Creator and be by his side. Then, even the world is smaller compared to us. (^_^)

Japanese and nature
Impromptu decision! Sometimes we need to make life a little fun. Following the old boring ways 
can make life stagnant. So, last two weeks after sending our guests back home to Malaysia, I asked Su if she wanted to go Arashiyama. After getting some information from the JR train booth, we bought the tickets on the spot and off to Arashiyama.

Arashiyama, a place where we can find good zen temples, was full with people coming for kouyou. Japanese really appreciate nature, I guess. Young and old, women and men spending times visiting scenic places. It is actually a good activity. Walking through the places (which sometimes takes fives hours, again good for heart), have somebodies to accompany with and to talk to and enjoy the beauty of nature. What a life!Arashiyama is a beautiful mountain especially during autumn. The red, green and yellow leaves made the scenery very lovely. They even have special 'matsuri' (festival) just for the autumn in Arashiyama. Besides that, we can find many shops selling souvenirs if we're looking for one.

Stop and smell the roses
The hectic life could be a disaster for a person. We can keep going and make millions dollar worth of money or have thousands of people working for us. I would just like to say that money can't buy hea
lth. Money can't buy happiness. Money can't buy long life.
Thus, while we still have sometimes in life, stop and smell the roses. We never know when is the last day of our life in this world. Appreciate the life and people around us.
Last year was the last time I saw my grandmother alive. Few weeks before she passed away, was the last time I talked to her.
lth. Money can't buy happiness. Money can't buy long life.At one point of our life, we shall at least stop and ponder upon what have we achieved. Surely people will start counting their houses, cars and assets in the banks. But how about our own life. Are we happy? Are we contend with our life? Are we ready if today or tomorrow we are no more in this world?
I remember one particular car industrialist in Malaysia. He was successful in life and business. However, life was rather short for him. At 50 plus he passed away of an incurable disease. In within one year after he was diagnosed, he was called to met his Creator. Taking him as an example, I am sure that we should realized that money can't buy health and long life. It's all in God's hand.
