Take a look at this website

If you are wondering what is the Davos Debate, It is a long held session of debates ranging from the economic crisis to the issues in Gaza.
Attended by the leaders of the world and well known luminaries (coelho, dennet im sure you will find people you will like), this will give a great insight of the minds of these people and arguments arising from these.
Love you all

Hey Guys,
Please take a look at this website, a rather novel idea..i think. It does not matter if it isnt novel. I can't care less about it. What i like it the way it leverage on social mediums, and the best social aggregator is the internet.
Take a look at what they are doing. Awesome idea, i do not know if it is successful( i was too excited to show you guys, i forgo the effort to at least scratch the surface a little bit deeper), but lets explore this for enough talk. :)

Pardon me
First off, Chan Liang, i think your words has crept into my being, and have made me grown so much by reading it. It is really amazing.
Thank you, you post has inspired me. Keep it up.
I have just bought a magazine, National Geographic Magazine. I think it is the best magazine that offers the most conprehensive information about the world, culture, animals, nature and beyond.
This special magazine was about the 50 year aniversary of space flight. Observing the pictures (must i say it was high quality) and i was stunned. It was amazing, and that very moment, i felt i was a speck of a massive enormous system that is beyond my imagine. Among the milky way, the planets, the moment you can cover the whole of Earth with your thumb, imagine how perspective can change.
This particular sentence particular hit home...
'' Space travel can be proclaimed as the biggest achievement in human history. Why?
1. It took genius to master the theory of Space travel
2. Nation Will (and tax payers money)
3. Amazing vision, with perfect political timing
Something unusual isnt it.
I close my eyes, and think of the possibilities.,..and say why not....
Now read this article - http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/01/28/2476679.htm?section=justin
and i grow disgusted. Why!!!!
Forgive me, but that is just only one of the articles. Ive been reading more accounts of this story, and believe this, this is tame as it gets.

What is going on...really??
I place my palms together, and i pray and wish, for better times, for a unified action,
to human rights...to environment, to animals, in the very least, for ourselves. I am beginning to hang my head in shame. I want to do something, i need to do something. I have no respect for that i see and allow. I have to sense of decency. It is the freaking 21st century, and we are no different to slavery in the medieval. Just different ways.
Money Stems Evil?
26th, a joy to behold. A transition into the stage, making my name, and brilliant opportunity to reflect of all i had done for a quarter of a century, and what more is to come for the next.
My cycling trip was nothing short of amazing. To have my skin carressed by the wind, and with music (aahhh music, the best companion i could have) and pumping amino acids into my legs (i was really tired), i've rediscovered my keen sense of wonderment.
Ohh how joyous and childlike it was to cycle at, i dont know, 60km/h downhill from kent ridge park, and screaming my lungs out, at 11pm in the night. (I did it three times!!!) I can only imagine, when i bungee jump, or sky dive, hell, even terrain crossing in a jungle. I miss it...
Upon my reflection, ive discovered someone else...myself. My love for myself. For all the many grinding bumps i had for the year, ive had made out alot for myself. Ive somehow, deep within, and touch my aura, and held it in my hands. Beautiful, sublime, ive manifested myself into an orb, and i couldnt take my eyes of it, and i was in love again. My biggest biggest growth, was to love myself again....
I have thought alot about what next year is about, and whats my milestones will be like..(look out for the next post, ''Dream up a Year'' ) and yes dennet, i am writing another one soon. Before u know it.
I was thinking about money, and as uncanny it is, Dennet, glad you touched on it.
I was reflecting back to the age and how the powerful has affected the choices.
There are so much philanthropic work around the world, and yet, has something significant really changed? Maybe except we know that global warming is real?
Who puts in the biggest impact, Activists (Green Peace)?, Leaders (Ghandhi)?, Businesses?....
Go with me on this...
Once upon a time, it took leaders to make and shape the countries, and impact in societies, ...now there are none.
If you look at the number of high profile philantropic works, it comes from the businesses. Bill Gates, warren buffet, name anyone, they must have done it one way or another.
Activists..and i mean the green peace, PETA, where are they? I am sorry if i sound ignorant, but do they have much money?! What is their impact? Where is the growing fondness of these group of people, compared to Bill, Warren? (They are my friends now)
Look at overly paid footballers, why do they get paid ridiculous amounts of money, ...for entertainment?? Do they make a better growth for society other than entertainment...compared to ummm...Teachers, heck, Gardeners. I dont know,
I know one thing, there needs to be a shift in the way, the value of money is in tangent with the value it contributes to the world. The time for Bill Gates and Warren, is here now, and Gandhi, is a thing of a past...activist will always be there, somehow...IF only, we cram all of them together as one being. Now thats a thought.
Love u all.
I love u dennet
I love u chan liang
And Jared, since your reading this, I love u
I make my rent on Earth
What exactly do we all want? What does living a life worth deserving really mean?
I have barely begun scratching the surface with these...so it seems.
On a glass half full, i am enjoying this tremoundous journey, a bigger sense of myself, a higher purpose, i am on this odessey where i am touching my heart, soul, mind, an interlinked web of dead knots, wrapping this connection on a tremedous level. A deeply ingrained, cemented cocoon of ''Kelveen'' who is growing slowly but surely.
On a glass half empty, the changes are wrecking my habits; i am grasping thats left of it, but its like thin air. Ironally, this has been the most comfortable experience, and it has been never ending since a year back. Though, i know, this is striking me at my core, its shaking, its scary. To be frank, it isnt exactly a glass empty, just something i never i saw. Everything is always something, and its what makes acknowledgement and appreciation something different these days. Breaking old foundations and beliefs for me, and laying new bricks.
I cannot possibly imagine, how intrisically webbed everything is. Like how a glass half empty is actually, half of air, or molecules, or space ...whatever it is, what does it become? It belongs to one, a beautiful chain, ecosystem, ....integrity.
How does a man, becomes more aware of his choices and or his thoughts, or how does one event on this stage creates a circumstance in the other? Too many questions, too little answers, but so much more distinguishes. Awesome.
I am imagining, what if, everyone on earth, collectively, just increase their concientousness by just 1%...what would you think will happen? I can only imagine by the possibilities, and be inspired by the prospects.
Some artists needs to be in torment to be inspired, some others needs the other extreme. But is there a common principal behind all their actions and choices? I do not know yet, but im getting a hunch.
Pathway, should look to be the source, to create great leaders. What have we been lacking for decades? The lack of great inspiring leaders, and instead, what the world have relied on, was the over reliance on books, self help, where you dont create leaders, but a need and a fallible sense of need to the world outside of yourself and myself, to make better of what we are...
Pathway...is meant to create the powerful aura, of what it is to be a great leader, and what it means, and to know, it exist in everyone one of us. Imagine, and im replacing the word here, activist...with great leaders (Gandhi, so on and on) 3 of them every pathway....every pathway, we would have created more leaders!!! than what the world naturally churn every 10 years?
And it is all starting with us...imagine the impact as men, as human beings...to undertake this strange, unique, sublime passage.
Like a phoenix, im born again, everyday, and heres to every profound mornings.

Out of it
Hey Guys,
My sincerest apologies to both of you.
I am reading your blogs, and i am both inspired and amazed at your journey. Thank you again for the reminder.
I have been absolutely sick for the past two days. I stayed away from the phone, internet, everything. Slight tinge of regret, i do not have that. In fact, i feel so recharge, just being alone, with my thoughts. If there is anything to go by, i was aware of how much i was running away. Not just from the socialising element, but from current events.
When i started picking up the papers again, when i was reading the blogs, i feelings and thoughts were raw, frustrated, mad.
I took the time away, to do what i really really wanted. That is to be with myself, productively. Think about the events, Karma as you would call it, sometimes and im realising how rubbish it is. To take precedence over life, over issues, to even give 2 cents about it, doesnt really serve a genuine purpose.
Today, ive found spunk and energy, my highs are really high, i can climb the walls (free running + samurai).
The realisatio i gather, from all of the facts and postings, gathered from dennet, chan liang, and myself, shouldnt bear a burden, a sorrow so painful till it hurts...it shouldnt...much rather, an opportunity to make a real significant purpose, and seeing the fruits of it. (Dennet, remember about tracking your progress, when planting a tree, for example), the inherent purpose isnt to make whats horrible, right, but to live, to dream and execute what we have all always wanted.
The fact just proves a point, that theres alot of work to be done. As religious as i sound, its time to get excited about it. Sorrow and anger, is not what we need right now, its not something we want to inculcate in others right now...why, people out there are living it!! embracing this sorrow, and see what happens half the time!?
I dont know if i am making sense here, throw me a towel, if i really need a spanking here. I love you all.

Mastery of ???
My day 10.
Few wonderful successes, few constant struggle.
Mastery of the mind,
You would think its rather about knowledge, but rather about holding and maintaining my consiousness and conversations in my head. Ive had 3 sticks of cigarretes for the last two days. (All three today of course). So, i was comtemplating i should have one more stick before head off to my routine stopover at macdonalds. About 10 mins ago, before i had that conversation, i had told myself that since i dont have the craving, i shall not touch one untill friday (when my withdrawals may kick in). Clearly i forgotten about that conversation!!. And it was not a craving...it was a what i would call it, a retreat of a worse kind. It just lacked characther of myself. A battle between me and my mind. So anyway, as a form of motivation to get out of this trap i have in my head, i decided to run....(jog)
Mastery of the body,
My muscles are tight...not fit tight...tired..its need to reenergise. I need to stretch my body, it has to rest.... My ass is bloody compressed, my groin feels like its recovering from a year of pinching, and my neck is...well, i feel like it isnt a neck anymore. I cant move to the right.
So i ran...i had a jog, and what do you know, i almost had a hamstring pull...hahah. I think ive pushed to a limit, and its time i should listen to my body. This has been a week of struggle of the body and mind. ....
I appreciate you guys for the messages you sent to me. Thank you, they were truly inspiring.
Dennet: go to this link - http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/vm7.htm
And sign up, read up on the several diets for you plans.
Chan Liang, - I trust you to somehow keep on going. :D
Love you all
Kelveen- Day 8
Awesome tremoundous energy...i fear...im runnning on excess backup..and ill end up tired and jaded. But it doesnt feel that way at all. I woke up this morning, all tired and lethargic, and i heard a scream, a very very loud scream, and i shot off from my couch.
That was 6 in the morning. I ended up at macdonalds at 7, and was already working. Working!!! hahahah. This was something new. I was more consious about my surroundings, wasted no resources, lest to the things i was consious off.Ive managed to gather my materials, for my leadership and education studies. Im looking forward to leave work and read on it immediately.
And then to my strengthening exercise, i neeed to accomplish 4 more chin ups to get a gold standard. More work to commence.Universal feedback today, my words cannot be trusted. hmmm...i realised i have made alot of broken promises. Something to work on. Say it, and stick to it.
But now, i am humbled. for being honest enough to look at it today..
Love

Hey
Hello fellow aspiring activists...:)
I feel more alive and awake over the last couple of days, than i can say for the last two weeks.
There are so much struggles going on right now...from sheer lazyness to getting into my favourite mode ; Sleeping!
I was thinking about it, and man, i lack dedication. And i am so commited to explore on this word. I must say, its rewarding. No more tomorrows, no more, untills...if i have to appreciate anyone else besides Yasmin today, it would be myself, and you two guys. I can never imagine going on a journey with anyone else.
Ive started my exercise regime, and i have planned my programme.
1. For every seven day, i will exercise, 30-45 mins (time is progressive), one day in the gym, and one day in the pool.
2. Ill do my IPPT before my birthday, so i have one month to go!!!! So thats my gauge for my meter. Aiming for a gold, but a silver is definately a win for me!!
I am searching for a few links on the green point system, i am having trouble, so if anyone can point the way, please please support me on this.
I am also researching on the education and feminist movement founder. There are more than 10!!! jesus!!! they really go in groups! Good good learning point here though. Power in movements :)
So i am off to my research, and will post the links soon.
Love u all, and love the journals. Keep them coming
