another 365days of suffering........................


.. doctor say ive another 1year to go...
F*.. what the hell did i do in my past to deserve this suffering...

i wish i could be strong...
but its just 2 much...
maybe i should start to meditate...
maybe god ask me to see myself away from being with my body...
go on a destiny of a detachment..
detachment with peace of mind...
detachment away from life desire...
detachment from ALL DESIRE.
reminding me of suffering and death ...
reminding me of cycle of life...

i wish i would understand which path i should follow...

shall i try to be a monk? maybe i can detach myself from my suffering...
god.. why use this way to enlighten me?....
isnt there any better way?....

Chinese Food Cart

Reminding myself:

Dietary imbalances or extremes will negatively effect the organs and the qi. An excessively stimulating diet, for example, will stimulate body processes, triggering infinite variations of inflamation, fever, hyperactivity, or hormonal abnormalities.

Such patterns appear as fevers, sweats, insomnia, hyperthyroid, inflamatory skin conditions, etc,. These conditions will be worsened by over-consumption of foods considered "hot", stimulating, or yang in nature. Overstimulated people may benefit from foods that are considered "cool", "calming", or "yin".

Conversely, those who have cold, or "yang deficient" conditions such as low blood pressure, hypersomnia, sciatica, hypothyroid, Hashimoto's complex, etc., may do better with a more stimulating (yang) diet.

Keep in mind, when altering your diet, that moderation rules. Changes are most sustainable when they are introduced gradually.

Going online via nokia e71 through 3G!

I've been trying out blueman bluetooth with the 3G dial up and learned that its very instable. So i decided to switch to the usb cable which came with my phone.

I've stumble upon some blog talking about how to connect to their 3G provider.
I've reconfigured the configuration to suit maxis 3G setting.

1st:
Install wvdial: sudo apt-get install wvdial
2nd:
edit /etc/wvdial.conf
with the code below:

[Dialer Defaults]
Phone =
Username =
Password =
New PPPD = yes

[nokia]
Baud = 3600000
Dial Command = ATDT
Init2 = AT &F E0 V1 &D2 &S0 &C1 S0=0 +CGDCONT=1,"IP","","",0,0
Phone = *99#
Username = maxis
Password = 123
Stupid Mode = 1
Auto DNS = 1
New PPPD = yes


[Dialer nokia-usb]
Inherits=nokia
Modem=/dev/ttyACM0
Modem Type = USB Modem

3rd, to dial,
wvdial nokia-usb

tada! done.

god, where r u ?

Hm... i stumble upon an advise where i learned it the hard way, and so did my colleague who did learned it the hard way too..
"when you are waiting/hoping for someone to accomplish a goal for you, the best person in the end is always you"

its very true when the person is not part of the team.
often we need to find this type of person before we encounter those project/problem, but if we didnt have him/her/them at disparate moment, that person would be "yourself".

So here goes, "god, where r u?"
he is right there, "you!"
If you need help, u ask for him/her.
God is within you. He/she will listen to your every prayers and request. But you will have to take action and work towards your dream.

I asked for help, and my friend hong lead me to my saviour. So now, i would do the same as Hong, i shall be god's hand to spread the news to everyone about this cure.
