Happy New Year to everyone in the world.
The New Year is to celebrate opening a new chapter in your life or the turn over a new leaf. One thing most people do not know about the New Year is that the New Year shows us that we are one more year closer to death.
In 2010, I have officially became thirteen and became a teenager. In 2011, I am going to be fourteen.
One of the most key parts in the New Year Celebrations is the Resolutions that [.....]
There has been a battle between Mac and PC. I will share the differences between the Mac and PC. Lets analyze every factor that is important within a computer.
(I am writing about the Desktops)
1. Speed
Mac: Very fast in browser opening speed, faster internet, faster booting up.
PC: Slow in browser opening speed, slower internet, slow booting up.
One point for Mac.
2. Weakness against viruses
Mac: Minimal. The bad part is you cannot buy pirated software.
PC: Maximal. The good part is that you can buy pirated software.
One point for Mac.
3. Looks
Mac: Very [.....]
Yesterday and today, I have been watching a lot of Rinpoche's videos on Youtube. Today, I am going to write about my thoughts about some of the videos.
1. Don't embarrass the Buddhas

Description: The Most UNLIKELY Dharma Talk.
It is enough, stop embarrassing the Buddhas and the lamas...
My thoughts: I think it is a very funny Dharma talk. I will not give up when things go down anymore. Why? Because if you keep on feeling down , you cannot practise Dharma. No one wants to be near any one [.....]
Today, it rained extremely heavily. There was a lot of lightning. As one could already have figured out from the title of this blog post, a blackout occurred.
I was really freaked out. I ducked and buried my head in pillows in panic as I have not faced this situation before in my life. The situation was that there was a blackout and I was home alone.
After panicking for a moment, I quickly ran outside. I bumped a lot into my sofa as it was pitch black. It was during this time I scorned that this house used tinted windows as it was not that dark outside but it was pitch black inside the house as if someone forced [.....]
TRON: LEGACY
Uncle Wee Liang took me out to see Tron in Gold Class. Gold Class is very nice and comfortable. Instead of a tiny chair, the Gold Class has recliners that come with blankets. You do not have to bring your drinks or popcorn in but instead a waiter comes in and gives you them.
Here is the wikipedia page for TRON for more info:

Tron is a very interesting movie as it has a lot of cool battle scenes and [.....]
This morning, I woke up a bit earlier as I was going to go with Uncle Wee Liang and the two Matthews to swim at the Selangor sports club. It was very nice. I managed to swim a lot but I now got sunburn.
Later, we went to play badminton. It was so fun. I played so hard. I nearly felt like I was going to pass out but it was a really good workout.
After that, Uncle Wee Liang and I picked up Uncle Wee Liang's dog, Bimbo from the pet grooming salon.
Then, we went to Boathouse for dinner. At Boathouse, they have a great vegetarian Lasagna.
Uncle Wee Liang is a really great guy. He always takes time out [.....]
This is my 100th post. I thought it would be great to put something meaningful where everyone can learn something.
Today's post will be about the Eight auspicious signs and the seven royal emblems.
First, I am going to write about the Eight auspicious signs.
These are the Eight Auspicious Signs.
The top left to right are as follows: Parasol, Twin Fishes, Treasure vase, Lotus
The bottom left to right are as follows: Conch Shell, Longevity/Eternal Knot, Victory Banner, Dharma Wheel.
I am going to explain them one at a time.
The Parasol represents spiritual [.....]
Rinpoche's kindness really exceeds all of the people I am have met in my life by tenfold. He is the greatest Lama I have ever met. He treated Edward, Beatrix, Melissa and I to a fun night out yesterday.
Mama dropped me off at Ladrang after she received a magic phone call. The four of us waited at Ladrang for a few minutes. I watched Edward play his Nintendo DS.
After that, we all were told to go downstairs to Rinpoche's car. I had the honour of sitting in the front seat, in other words would be right next to Rinpoche. I was so happy to have such a great honour to sit right next to my Lama.
We were called [.....]
I have been writing a schedule so that I can keep track of what to do for the rest of the holidays.
I have to keep track of what I do so that I will not forget my jobs. If I do not do my jobs, it would show that I am lazy.
By doing these jobs, I can keep track on my laziness and prevent it from winning over. If I am good and do my jobs then I can have fun.
If I have fun and do not do my jobs, I will get it. So, I am going to watch out.
The punishment if I do not do my jobs is a grounding for 3 days. That [.....]

The most greatest offering you can give to your Lama would be a mind transformed. I am still working on it but I will be transformed in my mind very quickly.
One of my biggest problems is my anger. That is what I am looking forward to change as I usually get angry over small things and blame others for what I feel.
When I am angry, I would usually have a big fit and I would mess up my room. The effect of my anger it [.....]
Today, I woke up extremely late because I had trouble sleeping yesterday.
At around 2 p.m. Uncle Thierry took me to KLCC. We actually wanted to go to Petrosains KLCC. Petrosains is a science gallery. I have not been there in a long time. It was actually SOLD OUT!
We thought that Aquaria would also be over packed too. Aquaria is an aquarium in KLCC.
In the end, we went to Pavilion Shopping Mall. When we reached there, parking was quite hard to find but we eventually found a good parking spot.
We went to the Golden Screen Cinemas to watch a movie. We chose Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Threader.
Narnia was a very nice movie. The effects [.....]
I had a lovely birthday.
In the morning, I went to La Bodega for breakfast. I had a big breakfast.
After that, I went to the Kechara Paradise Stock Party. I managed to make a few sales to some people. Most of them were Kecharians.
I had bought a book and a Heruka Cakrasamvara statue for Rinpoche as there is a new Kecharian tradition. That is to give a gift to your Lama on your birthday.
It is very good to do Dharma work on your birthday as it is a special day to you and you will earn more merit.
After that, I went to Kechara Oasis to have dinner. The dinner was very nice. I ordered a cake [.....]
I have just received the latest Diary of a Wimpy Kid book in the series. This book has a purple cover. The book is called The Ugly Truth.
This time the story talks about how the main character, Gregory, experiences aging from boy to man. He actually hates the process as one of the things he hates in the world comes to haunt him, RESPONSIBILITIES. He is one of the few fictional characters who actually face the realities of children these days. He believes that responsibilities are something that are not needed but he has not been trying to take care of two dogs.
Gregory is actually in every way the worst kid in the world as he is self-deluded [.....]
After a long day at school, one of the best things to do is to sit in front of my computer and watch some superheroes. Personally, I ha...
