The Happiness that comes from within

Foreword

I was recommended by my colleague to read this book 3 months ago. I didnt border to touch and open the book because the white background cover is so boring. Only until recently, when I have one queit lunch time when everybody choose to go out of the office but I have my humble sandwich with me. With no free newspaper, I refused to look at computer and more work, I opened this book. And I can't stop reading even though everybody is back to the office. Just share with you some insight of happiness from this author, OSHO.

"Human beings can be tremendously happy and tremendously unhappy - and they are free to choose. This freedom is hazardous, this freedom is very dangerous because you become responsible."

Tree are simply happy because they cannot be unhappy. They dont know how to be unhappy. The birds chirping in the trees are happy not becuase they have chosen to be happy - they are simply happy because they dont know the other way to be. Their happiness is unconscious, it is simply natural. We, as a human being, have consciousness. Either we can become happy or we can become unhappy. Then it is our choice. So when we choose, we will be reponsible. If we choose the other way, we are not nature.

"Happiness happens when you fit with your life, when you fit so harmoniously that whatsoever you are doing is your joy."

Human beings have gone completely topsy-turvy. We have been distracted into unnatural preoccupations: money, prestige, power. Wherever we see power, prestige, money, we are no longer ourself. Immediately we forgot everything - we forgot the intrinsic value of our life, our happiness, our joy, our delight. We always choose something from the outside and we bargain for it with something from the inside. We gain the without and we lost the wisdom.

Remember it: Nobody else can decide for you. All their commandment, all their orders, all their moralities, serve to cripple you. You have to decide for yourself, you have to take your life in your own hands. Otherwise, life goes on knocking at your door and you are never there - you are always somewhere else.

Your destinay can find you in only one way, and that is your inner flowering, as existence wanted you to be. Unless you find your spontaneity, unless you find your element, you cannot be happy. You have to drop all those patterns that have forced on you, and you have to find your inner flame. so IT DEPENDS ON YOU.

And more :) Santa is coming to Town !!

Clearing my file and find some photos... which we took last year during Christmas time in KL.

Onigiri !!!!

Thanks to XL... she made the onigiri for us before our R&R class. We are so fortunated to join this class. I cant resist it and love the combination of rice, seaweed and sesame very much. It is delicious !!!!


The lunch box is so sweet .... !!!!! I can feel the Jap lunch box culture now.



And you cant believe it - Home-made Vegetarian Onigiri !!!!!


This is how we eat it that day- with mint leaves and more seaweed.

Thai Vegetarian

Refer to ML blog about this newly Thai Vegetarian in Aljunied.

We just want to try different vegetarian food and find out what is the Dragon seaweed.


This is yummy... the marinated Dragon Seaweed !!!! My very First time ... hehhee

And Thai famous Tom Yam soup !! It is really really hot and spicy and sour and Shiok !!!! We sweat more than it is after our jogging every week.


Luckily we ordered another stir fry simple veg... because it can help to reduce the "heat" of the above 2 dishes !!! But still my stomach was burning after we left the place till i closed my eyes to call if off for the rest of the day. I guess people will call this "hui wei" and it is worth remembrance.

Pineapple plant

Saw this on my way to place where i have lunch nowsaday. Hope i can see it ripes and we got free Pineapple ^^!!!

Vegetarian heaven

I just like this place and thought i should share with you all. It is a food court with all vegetarian stalls in AMK (introduced by HK blog).


This is their Black carrot cake stir fry ($3). But the recommended one is their white carrot cake because all the carrot cake are covered by Egg which looks like a Carrot pancake. We didn't order this time because the portion is a bit too much for two of us.

Everytime, I will order their "Yong tao Hu" ($3) because i can choose many veggie and I just love their sauce very much.

AND today we found the new dish and our First - Vegetarian "Za Jiang Mian" 杂酱面 ($3) and it is so tasty till I forgot to take pic before we stir all the sauce together with the noodle.


Aunty said only Friday she will do the vegetarian "Za Jiang Mian" which you should not miss!!! Please ignore the tofu as it is from the yong tao hu.
