Pleasant Memories


                                              
An Email  sent to a former client turned good friend :
Hi John,
Thanks for the follow up. We've been busy since last sunday as my children made plans for us in celebration of michelle's and my almost coinciding birthdays. Terima kaseh ! Sorry for the late reply as have been busy arranging my trip to Yangoon on friday. Lovely to hear and meet you and Alice again,though ! 
The days & night seem to travel swiftly when we're having fun as it was only yesterday we were in the first part of this year and all it's troubles and threats but now all of a moment and a half later here we are in August in the autumn of the year, the chill winds of the rainy season almost trampling us as it blows it's self hard east ward though the warmth of your continued friendship and care delights and surprises us. 


It boggles the mind the amount of passage and time that transpires between one season and the next but as all the trees, branches & leaves dry so does the memories of yesterday.  Let us keep in touch more as your friendship John, Alice, is always valued in these part of the malaccan woods ! 
In the end, john, all we are is the memories.


Hello all,
Just a spot of good news. In a few days time, a retreat  for my association will be organised and in the prepared speech, i am proposin to my people in the Malacca T.A to include a new category in the bi -annual award ceremony Anugerah Pelancongan Melaka under Heritage Conservancy and one of the names I will proudly suggest is our class mate Dr. Dennis De Witt for his role in researching and uplifting the Dutch / Melaka historical lineage and it's conservancy through the Dutch Walk. Let us be proud of  this old boy's achievements and hard work, ya !

Cheers!
Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holyshit…what a ride!"

What is a 'HINDU' ?

In 1995, Chief Justice P. B. Gajendragadkarwas quoted in anIndian Supreme Court ruling:

When we think of the Hindu religion, unlike other religions in the world, the Hindu religion does not claim any one prophet; it does not worship any one god; it does not subscribe to any one dogma; it does not believe in any one philosophic concept; it does not follow any one set of religious rites or performances; in fact, it does not appear to satisfy the narrow traditional features of any religion orcreed. It may broadly be described as away of life and nothing more.

Common Misunderstandings on Hinduism

Vedanta (and all Hinduism) is entirely monistic, believing only in the all-pervading world-soul, Brahman, rather than a personal God

This advaita philosophy is certainly popular, and offers a simple explanation of the many deities. Nonetheless, many theologians have considered God to be a person. He is not merely an anthropomorphic representation, nor are the various deities and murtis simply incarnations or representations of an impersonal Supreme.

Thus Hinduism includes both monism and monotheism. It is misleading to call the Abrahamic religions,"the monotheistic traditions," implying that monotheism is absent from the Eastern traditions. Vedanta includes many monotheistic schools. They may accept the existence of many gods and goddesses, but strongly emphasizes the pre-eminence of the Supreme Deity.
