Religious liberty
Everyone should be given the absolute freedom to either remain an atheist or practice a religion of their choice, so long as it does not impinge on the rights of others.
Faith is a deeply personal issue and I have no qualms if someone wants to educate me on their beliefs. Afterall, knowledge empowers me to make an informed opinion. However, it will be crossing the the line if one requires me to involuntarily subscribe to that same set of beliefs.
Exercising some degree of tolerance will go a long way.

周末来临了。能独自在家中欣赏Yiruma早期的作品也算是一种享受。
与你分享我偏爱的两首曲:
Kiss the rain
River flows in you
Lost for words
I came to know that a couple lost their 1 day old baby girl. In moments like these, I am inarticulate. What exactly can I say that will be of comfort to the grieving parents? Perhaps what they need most is space and time to grief before seeking closure. My thoughts are with them.
No matter how hard we try, the inevitable end in waiting and everything in between is a blip of transience and impermanent.
衣
老友今天发给我的短信:
朋友是雨衣,就算晴天想不起,雨季也会陪伴你。
同事是戏服,就算台上再入戏,台下也要脱下去。
情人是丝睡衣,就算再华丽,也穿不出去。
老婆是粗布衣,就算不美丽,也能挡风寒。
儿女是内衣,舒服不舒服,自己心知道。
父母是棉袄,虽然不时尚,但却最温暖。
Forget what I don’t have and focus on what I do have… …
Rather than dwelling on what I do not have, I should be thankful for what I do have. It is time to remind myself that all suffering boils down to craving and learn to appreciate the difference between what I need and what I want.

梦 天长地久的梦
地老天荒还是梦
天真的我不曾犹豫
我现在只剩下心痛
不曾有过感动
不曾如此怦然心动
飘忽的你就是这样来去匆匆
错 告诉我没有错
告诉我该怎么做
现在的我偷偷的说
我还没真正的错过
不要说的太多
不要说还有很多
寂寞的我 伤心的歌
是谁的错
我试着不再说
这里只有我日子一样过
一回头尝尽苦果
无法忘记
不知道我该如何哭泣
不知道如何欺骗自己
是否知道只有你
无法忘记
是否所有的点点滴滴
和那些醉人却心痛的故事
就在我尽情哭过之后
我就能入睡后忘记
只怕梦到你
错 告诉我没有错
告诉我该怎么做
现在的我偷偷的说
我还没真正的错过
不要说的太多
你不要说还有很多

是谁的错

不知道如何欺骗自己

我就能入睡后忘记
只怕梦到你
我不要 不要 不要
无法忘记
我不要梦到你
不要梦到你
无法忘记
伤心的歌 是谁的错
The true test of a CEO is when the company faces a crisis. A good leader takes the bull by the horns rather than shift the blame to others.
Gastronomic start to the year
Freshly made pratas are commonplace in South East Asia but I have yet to find a restaurant in London that does it in-house until today. For lunch, I had freshly made Lamb/Chicken/Fish Roti Canai (Roti Prata) at Roti King. Their curries were tasty but not exceptional. However, the pratas were elastic, chewy and aptly flaky. It blows the competition away when compared to the frozen pratas one gets from supermarkets.
After lunch, a friend surprised me with homemade nectarine rolls (a mixture of regular and green tea version) for tea. The sponge cake was fluffy and moist, while the nectarine filling had just right level of acidity and sweetness. A light mousse made from the juice of the nectarine was used in lieu of cream provided a refreshing texture to the roll.
