Supremacy - The State of Supreme

A word that is not really new to lots of people nowaday, it's what everybody is chasing and looking for, i believe.

But how people define supremacy? It seems that we all are not having the same point of view when talking about this word. Some may say it's regarding supreme in having power or authority; some may say it's all about dominating and conquering someone or an organization; and some may say that the quality or condition of being supreme makes them great; and bla bla bla...

Is it really a matter of being supreme? Is it really great? Here comes the argument: Do those who think that they are supreme or recognized by others that they are supreme, are really supreme in everything? How do we, human being, judge the supremacy of the one that we believe he/she deserve to be recognized for?

I believe that not all people are supreme in everything that they do. Regardless the title that they are holding in their organization, after all it's just something for others to obey rather than to respect. This is not really supreme, this is just power which is given to the superior prior to control sub-ordinates.

To be frank, if we think that someone is supreme, is it really that matter that he/she must be given the recognition? What I have in mind is: One does have to be recognized his/her supremacy when he/she really deserves it. As long as he/she has done the best to contribute to the entire world until the last breath, this is SUPREME.


The more we learn what to do with ourselves,
and the more we do for others,
the more we will learn to enjoy the abundant life,
this is supreme.

Luck

The Wheel of Fortune

Good fortune and happiness,
but sometimes a species of intoxication with success.


The Wheel of Fortune is all about big things, luck, change, fortune.
Almost always good fortune.


Lucky in everything and happy with the things that come.
Be careful that success does not come directly however.
Sometimes luck can change.


Always Remember:
"If you want to succeed in the world,
you must make your own opportunities as you go on;

Because success doesn't come to you,
you go to it!"

Tale of A Faded Saint

Saint...
Persons of exceptional holiness of life.
We have them in our heart,
Not easy to be one.

Created by the One,
Walking through lots of life paths.
Great holiness, virtue and benevolence,
Made them canonized.

The one I met,
Neither holy nor recognized.
In my heart,
A mortal man...

Give love, care and helping hands.
In others' eyes,
He's immortal, a problem solver,
A man with no regret doing anything.

But...
Who cares?
Realised?
That he's just an ordinary man.

Lots of problems to solve,
Commitments to handle,
Persons to care of,
He's mortal.

His immortality is faded,
In his own eyes,
While staring at the mirror,
Looking at the man in the mirror.

He has problems,
Tonnes of them,
Pressuring, squeezing him,
He can't breathe.

Help...
Who else can hear him screaming?
Friends?
Family?

His heart is weak,
He's helpless,
Hopeless,
Faded in the air...

What I've Really Done

In this farewell,
There's no blood,
There's no alibi.
Cause I've drawn regret,
From the truth,
Of a thousand lies.

So let mercy come,
And wash away...

What I've Done.
I'll face myself,
To cross out what I've become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I've done.




Put to rest,
What you thought of me.
While I clean this slate,
With the hands,
Of uncertainty.

So let mercy come,
And wash away...

What I've Done.
I'll face myself,
To cross out what I've become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I've done.





For What I've Done

I'll start again,
And whatever pain may come.
Today this ends,
I'm forgiving what I've done.

I'll face myself,
To cross out what I've become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I've done.
What I've done.

Forgiving What I've Done.

Working on Saturday

Hmmm... the 1st replacement day for the upcoming festival has begun. As it will be a full day work for every replacement, we can see lots of faces showing their unwillingness to come for work. But, what to do, this is an order, hehehe...

To be frank, this is the longest replacement that i've ever have in my whole life, more than 5 working days will be replaced for a single festival, wow, that will be at least a week long holiday during the festive season.

It will be very hectic for the next 2-3 months as we have replacement almost every saturday, which means, sunday will be the only restday of the week.

To most of the people who are going to have celebration, they are happy with the management, like wise, "suffer 1st, sweet later". But for those who are not, there will be lots of question marks coming out of their mind.

"Why do we need more than a week long holiday?"
"1 week is not enough is it?"
"Sigh... why do we always have replacements?"

And some will say: "Hmmm... can have vacation d." or "This is fun, can have a week long break, isn't that great?"

After some analysis, i found out that not all organization is practicing the same replacement idealogy. Most are depending on its own policy, the culture of the organization. The normal practice is: JUST TAKE LEAVE WHENEVER YOU NEED IT AND IT'S UP TO YOUR BOSS WHETHER HE/SHE WANTS TO APPROVE IT OR NOT.

But for those who are working in big organization, most of the time, holidays for those major festivals are decided by the top management. Perhaps, this is the best way to sort things out, eventhough it won't pleased everybody, but at least there won't be any replacement for the holidays.

Screaming... "WHAT I HAVE DONE???"




Life at Merseyside
Sleep before 12 midnight
Wake up before half pass 6
Preparing to work
That's my life
From monday til friday

10 minutes ironing shirt
5 minutes in toilet
10 minutes bathe
5 minutes from house to car
That's the preparation
From monday til friday

Leave for work a quarter pass 7
Must reach office before 8
Even if reach 10 minutes earlier
Still consider late
That's how it start
My working life
From monday til friday

Punch in before 8
Punch out a quarter pass 4
Leaving for home after that
That's my life
From monday til friday

Working, dealing with
different kind of people
Trying to...
deliver everything on time
That's really a working life
From monday til friday

Sometimes even worse
Have to come on saturday
But luckily...
Have replacement on that
Got people sad
Got people happy
But to most of us
It's a win win situation
That's the way
how management deals

My weekends...
Seldom spent wisely
Seldom manage wisely

That is why...
Got people complain
Got people benefited

After all
I'm trying,
and trying to make my life easier

But sometimes
When i sit back and think
God doesn't really treat me bad
But my life
Seems to be messy
Ruin by myself
Ruin by my intelligence
Gifted by the One

Everyone, everybody
Deserve a better life
If we think, ours is bad now
Why not change?
Change our lifestyle
Just have a sip of coffee
and think properly

I do hope to:
Change those needed to be changed
Keep those which is still needed
This could...
probably...
make my life easier and better!

Help

"Help...!!!" When people who need it shouting the word, others will ask, what the hell he/she needs it? He/she looks fine, seems no problem with the life. But have we ever thought, does everyone around us telling their problems to others always?

Here comes the question mark, why do people needs help? Lots of people pretended to look fine eventhough they have problems, coz... who cares? Who on earth will care for others' problems since everybody is having their own problems everyday and every single hour or even minute!

There are many kinds of problems, for instant, money is not a problem to some, but 'love' to them is a big problem, or vice versa. Whenever we found out that people who stay sorrounding us got problem, we, homo sapiens created by God, will tend to ask, trying to dig out and analyse the problem face by them.

But, at the end of the day, how many of us are willing to lend their helping hands? I believe there will be lots of excuses trying not to get involve, but why trying to know others' problem in the first place since you are not even ready to help? Things will go the other way round, it will hurt the one who share his/her problem with us, they will feel depress, dejected and upset.

So, what the hell is going on? We always like to know about others' problems but not willing to help, furthermore, i believe some will even share what ever they had heard, with others... this is making the problem WORSE!!!

When bad things happen, then only regreted for not lending their helping hands in the first place, this is a common human nature.

Here's a song to those who are facing lots of problems lately, hope that God will help you, but don't ever never have a short thought, taking your own life is not the best way to solve problem, coz others will have to clean up the mess for you.

To all the problem creators, please don't make things worse and to those who are facing problems, may God Bless You all, coz when the ship reaches harbour, it will automatically become straight. Just don't feel upset when you face problem, don't bow to it, just treat it as a harm on your way to success. After all, who on earth won't have problems anyway.

Hope you all will like this song, sung by The Beatles.

HELP

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these daya are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh.
