I've got a surprise award from FL Sam recently and haven't got a chance to thank him until today.

In Sam's blog, the originator of the Nice Matters Award is intended for "those that are just nice people, good blog friends, and those that inspire good feelings and inspiration!. Those that care about others, that are there to lend support, or those that are just a positive influence in our blogging world.

Well, Sam, really thank you for the award. I really appreciate it and it's my honour to have a great blogging friend like you.

Khyentse Rinpoche and his latest book

Recently I had a chance to attend a dharma talk by Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche, who is better known as Khyentse Norbu in the film industry for his works like The Cup and Travellers and Magician.
After a few days in Kuantan, he came to Petaling Jaya and gave a short talk that touches on the basic of meditation and the benefits of well wishes for the people around us.

It was a rush evening but I was glad to finally meet up with Rinpoche after so many years. Rinpoche just published a book called, What Makes You Not A Buddhist, and we managed to get hold of the book and got his signature. I've only finished the first two chapters and hopefully I'll be able to read more today. Will share some of the content from the book once I've finished reading the book.

first world hotel in genting

Okay, I have been missing for too long this time. Guys, thank you for still checking out my blog to see if I'm still updating my blog. Yes, I'm busy with work and a new relationship I barely have time to blog anymore. A typical Piscean, that's who I am. Whenever there are new happenings in my life, I'll be totally into it and neglecting everything else.

Recently I was in Genting for two days because my friends and I had a free room at First World Hotel. Speaking about the hotel, we usually imagine a small crampy room. And so we went there without any expectation that our room is going to be the most expensive room in First World Hotel, the WorldClub room. The morning breakfast for WorldClub residence is at the top floor of the hotel with a magnificent view (sorry didn't take any picture) and away from the usual crowd.


Interesting Hot!
As the traveling by car is increasing, the insurance companies are also offering different travel car insurance policies through which you can covered the amount of your hotel bookings and other cost of traveling in case of delayed trip. The travelers are preferring mirage hotel for their relaxation with a little sightseeing and some light gambling in Las Vegas. But, many hotels lie in discount hotel category with their batter services for the travelers. The travelers who are staying in these hotels are also getting cheap air flights for their vacations but by only staying in these hotels. Many travelers prefer to travel by train for their vacations.

obsessive compulsive disorder in me

Actually I always wanted to share about the above topic but each time I tend to forget about it. While having lunch with my colleagues the other day, they asked me why I always chose the same type of food: sambal petai and udang, kari ayam and a telur goreng. For the past two months, we went to the same restaurant (although not everyday) and I've been taking the same menu without realizing that!

And the other day while listening songs from my laptop, my sister complained because I've been listening to John Legend's songs over and over again without realizing it. These are just two examples.

Now, guess which sports player who's even worse than me? Yes, you are right! Nadal has some of the most obsessive compulsive habits. He pulls his underpants almost before every pre-serve, straighten his socks, make sure his water bottles are placed back exactly on the same spot and bites his winning trophies.

Based on some of the discussion in tennis forum, it seems that those are Nadal's rituals probably inducted by his coaches as a way to focus himself in the game and control his explosive energy and emotional behaviour while playing in competition.
