Within the 4 seas,all men are brothers

today i went to browse at a flea market in Amcorp Mall.Its a place for collectors as ive picked up vintage deco from a wrought iron birds on the tree of life candelabra made in England to an old opium silver peacock smoke pipe from hilltribe of Thailand.the banner outside declared where old is gold but i wonder how many young people can relate to the history of a piece of junk or a treasure depending on your taste. i love the vibes of vintage and antique pieces as they are one of a kind momento of our past.lured by the collections,i bought a vintage fiction on the stories written by Lu Tsun,a renowned novelist known for his anti feudal and anti imperialist worldview.the first edition was printed by the peking foreign language press in the year i was born.even the illustrations in black and white are nostalgic. then there were fine books on accounts of life ln Malaya that i can only appteciate from afar as i cant afford them.wow a book by isabella bird on her travels to the golden chersonnese as Old name of Malaya.costly at rm250.the lyrics and music scores of P Ramlees old songs,another book recording the development of the french society in south east asia,the history of the nanyang by wang gung wu and even old Malay folktales. I bought a hardcover interior design book on oriental modernism for rm20.then i went to Book xcess and fpund a birthday present for Jun.its a biography of his childhood idol whom he used to worship.i know he will love it. maybe its time to buy Amartya sens book on violence and national identity.This Indian Nobel prize winner for economics was educated at the school founded by Rabindranath Tagore and this has shaped his multi cultural open minded worldview. our education system stifles critical thinking as any ideas opposed to the official state sanctioned narrative is labelled unpatriotic so its dangerous when Orwellian thought

police are set up to censor diverse views.unity comes from respecting others points of views so its ok to agree to disagree.

Rainy sunday

Matchstick legs

Men who are well built at the top but have spindly legs are so unstable in their gait.Its like a Lego Matchbox man with long matchstick legs that look like they can topple over anytime and go off balance.in Japan there is a club in which the female crossfit muscular wrestler waitresses will spank or carry the male patronx in their arms.how about giving them a kick in their ass to see if they will topple over.must be a dominatrix in training.

School of Broken Hearts

Some have had no smooth sailing in life.They didnt get a chance for higher education and went through the school of hard knocks But for these tough nuts,adverse circunstances didnt crack them.Instead they acquired a tough shell that shielded them from pain,hurt and disappointments.They were schooled by harsh reality and became hardy and tougher So when i read about the self made entreprenuer who didnt get government handouts or inherited wealth to build up their business empire,thats the life of the early towkays in Malaya. im reading Haemin Sunims philosophical book on love for imperfect things and the importance of self love and self acceptance in life if i get a chance to attend his school of broken hearts in Seoul.that would be enlightening.i just love this picture of a woman in a bikini chilling out on a float in an azure blue swimming pool .its exudes a serene moment without a care in the world.dont sweat the small stuff and let go. yeah its at this age ive lost my hair,my teeth,my parents and old friends.but life is a cycle so let me be recycled into a tree,then a cat and finally into the mortal form again.

Fix the kick

im ok swimming breast stroke but im a big flop in swimming freestyle.i need to practise lower body kicks as its not strong n efficient n drags my body.i remember my instructor uses a kickboard to make us practise kicking from the hips with feet down wards.i m doing it wrong with the angle of body rotation and head lifted too high creating resistance slowing my propulsion forward. need to practise more.today on Youtube i saw a guy bringing his cat outdoors paddleboarding on a lake.the cat wore a lifejacket and was so calm in the water but my kitty hates water like hell especially baths so i think watersports will be an issue looking at the competitive nature of the Olympics in swimming,they have banned the use of high tech material in swim suits.the material of the swim suit gives unfair advantage as it cuts down the drag in water.then why not issue standard uniforms for swimmers using same design and material? Even TCM treatment of cupping therapy is used by swimmers to telieve muscle tension and improve blood circulation.i hate it as it leaves ugly red circles on the back like btuises or a kiss by a vampire.even Micheal Phelps the great swimmer had been seen with the red circular marks of the cup on his body.
