...27th INCOVAR Dhamma Camp. Nature of the Heart, Nature of the World...

31.may.2007 to 3.june.2007 @ sjba

"the nature of the person that you are – your thoughts, your speech, your actions, and especially your intentions have a bearing on the nature of environment around you, whether it is in the form of social surroundings, physical surroundings, or even your personal space.
similarly, the nature of the world around you will have its effects on every individual’s nature, whether they were past events that occurred beyond anybody’s control, social or peer pressure to conform, guidance and support from the people you trust, even the availability of conducive environment for the maturity and growth of your personality plays a part in forming the person that you are.
looking into the heart of a person, we hope to discover your strength of character and the charity of heart to help and assist those who are in less fortunate state than you. sometimes, it is a case of helping others achieve happiness in their lives, and in doing so, you may find that you are also helping yourself in the form of personal growth and achievements.
understand also that nature follows rules on a cosmic level, and certain events occur beyond our control. when we are faced with things that have affected us or are affecting us, we need to learn how to deal with these adverse situations in a positive manner.
the nature of the world is a reflection of the nature of every individual’s heart."

...steamboat...

...dunno what is my fetish for dipping food in soup, let it cook a while and then eat. wakakaz. no wonder i always suggest steamboat for whatever reasons to celebrate. i think it was since pcic that i totally fell for fred's chilli sauce mix for steamboat. somehow that guy bought some indian chilli sauce, then he cook some sesame seed and cut lots of parsley and then mix with that chilli sauce. and of cos, i just fell for that. mebbe its because of tht feeling that somehow i always want steamboat.

so, it was kingsiang's birthday and we went for dinner. wakakaz. steamboat obviously. this time we tried the porridge steamboat in sunway damansara. very gengz orr. but abit to the expensive side. and after all are done, the porridge is to die for. my gawd, its so rich that no other places can have such meticulous blend of prawns, chicken, vege, squid, meatballs, fish in the porridge. i just love steamboats...

...all with a full stomach with wt's killer pose beside loon...

...surely we inspire...

...altruistic : the pursuit of nobility is noble in itself.

this afternoon the whole team; about 15 of us were cramped into a small little room with a small aircond, hot and stuffy. smelly and totally hungry. stretching legs was almost impossible and talking loud was a no-no. and everyone was so passionate and so in love with the whole idea of inspiring people.

despite the whole lot of dissatisfaction over things and people, the bad feelings about certain unskillful words that has been dictated as instructions to work, the demotivateds, i believe the inspiration is still in each and everyone of us. the passion is still burning strong. and tht we still want to make it work.

we are still a team of good frens who have one thing in common. we inspire. leave the bad things outside and come in with an open heart, aspiring the best and a successful project for all. we are pursuing a noble thing here already arent we?...

surely we inspire...

...happy birthday cal...
