Buffets, Karma, Scrooge, Content, Zen
I am starting to detest buffets. I was never fond of buffets to start with because I think it’s totally not worth the value for someone like me to go for a buffet because I can never eat my money’s worth.
Also, you get to see plentiful display of the Malaysian kiasu-ness when it comes to all-you-can-eat food (e.g. people heaping their plates full of prawns or oysters or mussels or sashimi like there’s no tomorrow).
Plus, now that I’ve had more buffets in a month than I’ve ever had in the whole of last year (due to some clients’ penchant for holding workshops at hotels), I have realized that the food just looks nice but tastes mediocre at best.

There is so much meanness and hatred in the world today.
This is one of the main reasons why I choose not to be mean to someone just because the person was mean to me.
Plus, I believe in karma, although sometimes I think karma takes too long to happen.
Anyway, why would you want to, say, be rude, to someone just because they were rude you? Doesn’t that make you as much a lowlife as them? I don’t mean you must be sugar-sweet to these people but can’t we be civil and then just remove ourselves from the situation?
I always believe “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”.
And if I so happen act in a way or say something that makes you uneasy, just tell me. I would appreciate the up-front feedback rather than you talking behind my back or applying the same type of behavior to me at another opportunity. Because sometimes I might not realize what/how I say something may be interpreted.

I like a good deal, just like any other person.
But I will not go thru the inconvenience and hassle of just saving a few RM.
I am not such a scrooge.

What gives me immediate contentedness (in no particular order) :
1. Being with animals
2. Hanging out with Sophie 
3. Doing good for others
4. Lying in bed, reading my book, without any care for deadlines
5. Putting recyclables into the recycling bins

I seriously need to learn to ‘zen’ myself, else I may be a potential hypertension candidate, the way things are going.

I shall let my family and friends tell you about me. These comments may be rather old but I think the gist of them still hold
