The buffet table.....

The buffet table...... yes, the long table that tempts us all the time with wonderful varieties of food. The table that brings us the joy of filling our stomach with all sorts of indulgences. The table that whispers in your ears, "forget the cholestrol for now, you can put on the extra pounds, your tummy needs the food." 

I was at a buffet restaurant last night, courtesy of a good friend of mine who had a buy-one-get-one-free coupon. The moment you walk in, if you don't see the food, you'll smell the food. Anyway, for the benefit of those who do not know this place it's Jogoya Japanese Buffet. It's the highest floor of Starhill Gallery KL

My friend and I had a lot of good food, so much so that I barely felt like walking to the car after we finished our dinner. Anyway, I am not going to give a very descriptive write up on how my friend and I indulged in food and made ourselves feel guilty about it.

I would like to direct your attention to just how the buffet style dining works - you walk up to that long table filled with good food and you go on to take whatever dish you want. Before you know it, you find yourself carrying all sorts of dishes of your choice and you are probably already salivating, anticipating the food in your mouth. 

What we do everyday is very much like being in front of a buffet table. We actually go out there on a daily basis to try to get what we want. The world at large is our buffet table. Good stuff hardly ever comes our way. Every now and then we do find ourselves being blest by our loved ones or maybe very close friends of ours. Good times come and go but never stay for long.

Go on out there and reach out for what you believe in and strive for........ make the world you buffet table and get the goodies for yourself!

hiatus!

After having been online on the ~Path of Time~ since 2006..... it is going to be hard, painful and sad. As of today, I will officially stop writing on the ~Path of Time~. For those who have continued to read my posts, I thank you very much for taking timeout to read my posts. I am not sure if all my writings were great but I'll be happy to know even if it was only one post that reached your heart. I may one day pick up from where I left off here but only time will tell. Who knows I might even start afresh? Until next time.......... time stops ticking for the ~Path of Time~

one foot in the past, another in the future........ what about the present?

All of us go through a cycle, what we commonly call - the past, present and the future. It can probably be summed up by this simple phrase: " we come from the past to be in the present and look forward to the future ". Now, what I want you to do is take a step back, or just give your mind a minute or two to digest the above mentioned phrase. Ask yourself if it applies to you. Really ask yourself; and I mean REALLY ask yourself in the most honest of manner, whether it really applies to you. You may find it difficult to arrive at a 'yes' and even if you do, you probably find yourself in a paralysis state of mind trying to justify the 'yes'. If you really ponder about it, you are likely to find that most of us would find this phrase more relevant instead: " we come from the past and look forward to the future " You will find many of us either hang on to the past or look far too forward into the future, or likely for some to even be dwelling too much in ...

my first tow truck ride

It was like every other Saturday morning for me yesterday. Woke up early to get breakfast, get ready for my weekly rock climbing sessions. I felt pretty good yesterday since I managed to sleep the night before so I was feeling very energized and upbeat about my climb session. I might have spoke too soon though because my car decided to pull a fast one on me. I found it surprising because I always went on preventive maintenance for my car so I really wasn't expecting any breakdowns especially I didn't hear any sound symptoms, neither did I saw any signs of an impending breakdown. After all, it is only logical that mechanical parts would give out some form of symptoms to let you know it's about to go. I was actually driving myself to rock climbing, feeling all geared up and gung-ho about it. As I approached an uphill climb and right bend, I realised I was losing compression and the car was starting not respond to my pedal work on the accelerator. To make matters worse because...
