A boy who live in the Men Heart :)
This is the story of a boy who lived inside of a man,
The boy and man were the same person, with one heart
but two minds between them.
When the boy wanted to run, the man would walk.
When the boy wanted to cry, the man would shout.
When the boy wanted to play, the man would work.
The boy and the man did not see eye to eye on much of anything,
except when it came to matters of the heart.
Both the man and the boy loved and shared alike.
One day the man decide to change himself
and the boy was scared.
He feared he would be forgotten or left behind
with all the other passing memories in time.
But the man reassured the boy that he could not be forgotten.
Because who he had been, and he would become,
were one and the same, and they would always remain alike.
This helped soothe the frightened boy
and on that fateful day, both the boy and the man
learned what strength was made of.
At first, many people did not respect the man's wish
to be humilated and looking down on his personality in the beginning the man was defiant.
But the boy inside reminded him of tolerance,
and this is how they both learned what patience could accomplish.
After some time had passed the man grew wiser.
But the boy remembered all the sad stories- stories of other
little boys who had faded into memories.
So, he made it a point to hold on.
He focused on remaining strong.
Then, one day, the man was called for National Service.
The boy might have gone, but the man knew better.
He knew that if he went, the innocent boy inside---- his better self--- would be lost forever
So both the boy and the man learned courage.
After the man took a stand, holding onto his religious beliefs,
he was stripped of all that the world thought made him special, and the boy became a survivor.
On that day the boy and the man embraced forgiveness.
For the man knew that if he did not let go of his pain, their heart would harden.
After much time had passed,
after struggling to carry on , the man was vindicated and his career returned to him.
Although for man forgave, the boy remembered the pain.
Yet, through this ordeal the man learned ,
what faith insured, and the boy learned to endure.
Although the future proved promising and the life of the man
was rewarding, he would face many obstacles
and would continue to be tested.
And though all of the joy, laughter, tears, and pain,
the boy inside the man lived to tell the story.
He survived to share the glory.

The Purpose of LIFE
Everything that God created has a purpose. The sun has a purpose. The clouds have a purpose. Rain has a purpose. Trees have a purpose. Animals have a purpose; even the smallest insects, and fish in the sea have a purpose.
Regardless of how large or small, we were all born to accomplish a certain task. It is the knowledge of that purpose that enables every soul to fulfill itself. One person with knowledge of his life's purpose is more powerful than ten thousand working without that knowledge.
It is important for each of us to figure out why we were put here on earth by God. The importance of life is to accomplish the task we were given. Without working on this task, life is meaningless.Human beings have a basic need and desire to accomplish something before they die- to make a difference. When working toward this goal, man has hope and Energy. Therefore, it is essential that each of us learn what we were meant to do as early as possible in order to have a satisfying and productive life.
( Just like Uzumaki Naruto , " I WILL NEVER DIE , UNTILL I BECOME HOKAGE, THAT MY WAY OF MY NINJA ") His task to be Hokage, To protect his love one, dat will make hims stronger.
Your purpose may be bigger than mine or another person's, but that doesnt make mine any less important. God would not place a burden on a man's shoulders knowing he could not carry it, nor would he give a person without significance.
Everyone has his or her own lessons to learn and obstacles to overcome. The expriences should not be weighed against each other because they are all equally important in the end. Each time i thought i had achieved my life's purpose, i discovered it was onky another step in my journey. I thought boxing and marathon would help me be that public "Typical Malay role Model" who was missing while i was growing up. I thought my purpose was to be that hero who showed children dat Typical Malay is beautiful. I thought my purpose was to be that champion who showed all different kind of races people they couldnt treat Malay or Indian like second class citizens. I learned that all of these accomplishments were important, but even more important. I gained a platform that allowed me to carry out my real mission, which has been to encourage all people to respect each other and to live in peace. I AM STILL DISCOVERING GOD'S PURPOSE FOR ME.

My Life
My Life
Some days seem like a struggle to get through
Some are breeze
I question my purpose and reason
But no answer has yet come
I know there;s a purpose for me bigger
Than life itself
But where do i begin to get these
Questions answered
I was put here to do great things and
To make a difference in other's life
Some days i feel helpless and lost
Unimportant and useless
Other days i feel like i make all the difference
Needed and wantes
There's never a balance, just a high and a low
But when i hear about others who are helpless and lost
Those who haven't even made it to smell a breath of fresh air
I feel selfish for even having such thoughts
Then i realize that my purpose is just that
To live, love, and enjoy life to the fullest

Ignorance of Truth
I look at you with so much disgust
For everything you stand for
For your Honor,
For your Loyalty,
Your bravery
I think of you and the bile rises.
How can you stand for so much good?
How can you expect so much good?
When there is so much death in the world.
People follow you with blind trust and devotion.
And I pity them.
They look at you as if you stand for everything good.
Their blind devotion makes me sick.
When I look at you I see what you truly are,
You are every dying creature,
You are every broken promise,
You are every broken heart,
You are everything that has gone wrong,
You are all things evil.
People give thanks to you when things go right.
They never see past the good,
But I do.
I see what you truly are.
I would be angry too, if someone killed my son.
But haven't you deemed enough revenge?
Haven't you killed enough things?
Haven't you hurt enough people?
You are NO saint,
You are NO god.
Yet we paint you as the ultimate creator.
It's true, you are a creator
A creator of death.
So why people stand in blind ignorance of you,
Thinking you are the blooming flower,
I will stand apart,
Alone in a world of ignorance.
Knowing that that flower is beautiful.
But it will die.
Everything does.

Why are you here?
Well, have you ever wonder why are you here on earth?? Well.. Serious.. Why?? I mean, think about it for a second. Why was there an earth out here, why was there even human being like us in the first place? What is our purpose on this earth?
Why? You mean, we are here just to live a meaningless life, trying to filll the void in our life by smoking, fornicating, going into relationship to relationship, abusing drugs.. Or to live a "NORMAL" life, study and study, go in poly, go into uni. After that find a "good" job, earn "big" bucks, drive "fast" cars. Then get a girlfriend/boyfriend and get married, have children, work harder somemore to provide for family. See the child grow up. Work even harder to support child to poly and uni. Grow older and subsequently just DIE peacefully' like that and the cycle repeat itself. Ha.
Even if you think that you are living a very fruitful life now, but seriously, are you? Think again.
Well, this post is not meant to provide you with solution, you have to find it from the Creator Himself. But one thing i know for sure is that we are not meant to live and die like this. There is more to it.
