A Tangled Web of Lies

O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!
Can't help but to recall this famous quote from Sir Walter Scott...
When one reads the latest revelations on the financial scandal that is 1MDB...
Touted as a sovereign fund to help the economy of the Malaysian Nation...
What has been revealed so far is a tangled web of deception for the nation...

O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!
At the onset of of the saga of 1MDB, it was a sovereign fund entity....
It sourced for billions and billions in cash money for seed capital initially....
Taking out monstrous loans using guarantees from the government...
No red flags were raised, despite reservations from the management...
When the numero uno signatory is the Finance Minister himself...
And it being so he is also the Prime Minister, who is to question...

O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!
The wheels of international justice are turning, investigations are revealing..
Convoluted  money trails of obscenely huge amounts to the tune of billions..
From Singapore to Switzerland to Luxemburg to Australia to the United States..
And a couple of other countries with highly principled banking standards...
Are seeking to unravel the this global money scandal with the  highest stakes..
Wall Street Journal expose is churning out scandalous information of the investigations..
While in the home country of Malaysia, political warlords brush off all revelations..

O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!
A single plea of innocence was well propped up with tales of donation...
As gifted from individual or individuals, ultimately from a dead Arabian King.. 
Stalwart political warlords were nevertheless resolute in defending...
As a much tainted political leader wisely maintains a eloquent silence...
Even as political foes and the knowing public cry out their frustrations...
Horrified and anxious over the repercussions from this 1MDB financial cancer..

O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!

Why Women Are Complex

WHY WOMEN ARE COMPLEX
 
 
Women are emotional by nature , they like or love with all their might.When she likes or loves a guy, they do it with all their Breath. Here are things us guys are blind to or ignore:
 
 
She DREAMS of u
 
She WAKES UP for u
 
She looks forward to SEEING YOU
 
She picks a DRESS 4 u
 
She does her MAKE UP 4 u
 
She does her HAIR 4 u
 
She THINKS of u in everything she does 
 
She TALKS about u
 
At night, she CANT SLEEP because of you...
 
All it takes is simple COMPLIMENTS, u look lovely, I like ur hair, I like your dress etc, and she will sigh thinking how it was all worth it. HOLD HER HAND when she's insecure, HUG when she's wants attention and ROMANCE her when shes jealous! Women are hardwork, if you want your end of the bargain then make sure you do your part. If you do, sit back and watch how she will do anything because her heart is filled with happiness. 
 
Yeah they play games either to make you feel as SHE FEELS or she wants u to STEP UP or she wants to know WHAT YOU ARE REALLY ABOUT. At the end of the day, they have alot 2 to lose, physically or emotionally, but you gain a lot!
 
Learn not to take HER TOO SERIOUS, at times show a "FUN UNDERSTANDING  PATIENT" side and other times LET HER KNOW what you don't like with seriousness.  
 
Yes as a man u need 2 be FIRM or PRINCIPLED and draw a line but pride don't prove anything then cause a NEGATIVE REACTION (Two wrongs don't make a right).
 
Women are LIKE THE WEATHER, one day SUNNY, the next RAINY, the other COLD and the next its THUNDER. 
 
If u want constant sunshine, open ur eyez and be on your toes.
If it's rainy, get ur umbrella and sing a song.
If it's cold, cuddle and warm her up. 
If it's thundery, give the storm (her) some space. 
In the end, her love for you will calm her down.
 
CHOSE WHICH BATTLES YOU FIGHT, NOT ALL ARE FOUGHT THE SAME OR NEED FIGHTING AT ALLl!

Yeah she aint perfect, so ain't you, but she will take care of you perfectly if you PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT!Don't get mad if some next dude has ur woman, he did what you wasn't doing.
 
 
But to be fair NOT ALL WOMEN are angels, some are selfish and unappreciative. Am talking about good women. Choose which one is worth fighting for!

A Man of Integrity

Today, the local daily papers highlighted a man of honour...
Deserving of his honorific title Datuk bestowed on men of honour...

Given his loud and strident calls for those holding the reins of power....
To better buck up in all matters of governance,  to honour pledges while in power..

From relative obscurity, this quiet man has been religiously executing his duties...
As a number 2 man in the high office called the Special Branch, overseeing matters of security...

Given that his beloved nation now staggers under a yoke of suspicion and bad governance....
He is steadfast in his intergrity pledge of topmost quality service to the king and nation...

Loud is his urgings for civil servants to uphold pledges of intergrity and loyalty...
It is obvious his strong conviction is born out of a man of the highest principles...

Befitting the post of the Special Branch deputy director....
Today's interview in The Star provides an insight into his character...

Clearly it shows he is not easily cowed under political pressure..
And most admirably, not seduced by subtle promises from political masters...

Headlined as From Special Branch top cop to enemy of the state...
His candour in this news piece is credit to his character...

He knows where his loyalty lies and he is highly principled...
Admitting that he deliberated well and hard before he launched....

Some very personal and opinionated statements that jeopordised his career.....
When in fact he has merely 1000days more to see the tail end of his career...

What a ignominous exit for the country's top cop because of his stand on integrity...
How many other officers in the goverment dares stand up to uphold such integrity....

This dedicated man daringly calls each spade by its name  and no other names will do...
Even as in this complex society we live in, a wrong can be whitewashed with blinded loyalty...

If only there are more politicians and statesman of this datuk's quality...
Our country will not be suffering from escalating racial prejudice...

Or economic ills that is plaguing our posperity and currency...
Are there more men of integrity and high principles..

Are there more such men to help steer this troubled country...?

Our forest habitat
gusts breezes
across our skins,
as darkness slowly turns
toward bright sky light.

My son
who cannot walk
nor speak his name
talks vociferously forth and with

together part of Her embrace,
playful tickles
across his advocating happy Yanging face

what and whom is impossible
for any of us to see,
whether blind as he
or sighted as we
might actually hope to be.

D is an avid scooting son
toward virgin forest greetings,
able to smell and feel morning seasons and rhythms
of days and night,
dark and persuasively gusty bright
flow of solar and lunar breezes
across our democratic EarthBound skins,
nurturing solidarity
older than concrete avenues toward cities
of overwhelming unforesting,
unraveling
tribes producing what once was nutrition,
good food more than fake food,
healthy love of gusty bright mornings
over toxic repressed-yin darks,
nightmares of climate acclimation
to separating multi-sensory linguistic pathologies.

D's life is liturgy of love
blemished only by occasional aversions to entrapment
and suffering alone
when we might become possible
to produce healthier webs of cooperative nurture
together,
Dad and D
as We.

Daranyani D,
celebrating sacred forest winds
as feminine matriarchal principles
gracing his brown naked skin.

Diversity of days and holonic nightdreams,
democratic nutritional pluralism,
principles of forest reweaving civilizations
older than cities
surrounded by fading cultures of wealth
through deforesting this EarthTribe Morning
which,
on its very best warm gusty day,
has become worthy
of concelebrating Daranyani D's

Premium Member Spiral Climate Health Dynamics

Beck and Cowan, with Graves,
wrote the Spiral Dynamics of memes,
or cognitive-affective enculturation climates
of Left-Right as Yang-Yin spiraling equivalence,
or maybe not,
I'm still not quite sure
how much I am seeing and hearing into their words.

For example, from page 56,
I was going through their evolving octave of historical colors
of humane-divine time,
beginning with
"Beige-a state of nature"
"Purple-[spiritually dynamic] mysterious [sometimes enlightening] and frightening"
"Red-[LeftYang dominant] tough and dangerous like a [WinLose evolutionary] jungle"
"Blue-directed by a higher [healthy regenerative v pathologically degenerative, decompositional ecopolitical as ecological] power"
"Orange-full of viable [optimally WinWin cooperative-integrative] alternatives"
"Green- shared [climate health v pathology] habit[at] of all humanity [within, as all of Earth's nature-spirit ecosystems without]"
"Yellow-at risk of chaotic [climate health] collapse [into further climate pathologies]"
"Turquoise- a single living [0-sum octave PrimeMetric ecosystemic] entity"
an opportunity for complex multicultural
ecopolitical
ecological
cooperative
network revolution development,
where 'yellow' paranoid yin-repressed RightBrain depressives
"learn how to be [pathology of anger/fear] free
but also [regenerative-health] principled
seek[ing] the [bicameral turquoise Tao] order
beneath [and deeply within, and above, both out and in, midway,
inbetween, wu wei] Earth's apparent [cosmological dualdark notnot co-gravitational] chaos.

Maybe there is something in the water
I take with my inhaled herbal medicines
producing such rich resonance of healthy fragrance
with spiraling ecopolitically developing multicultural color strings of remembering
co-empathic trust's evolution 
through regenerate humane/divine enculturation 
emerging Ego/Eco nurturing timelessly co-present ecoconsciousness 
of Tao-Tipping Points of nutritional v toxic climate times.

For All the Good Man Out There

A handsome and well groomed man he is
Usually very neat with well combed hair
A middle aged man of relative height
Wearing a warm smile that demands a response
Of wearing a scent I know not.

He is one of the few good men remaining in the world
‘How do I know? And how sure are you that he is good?”, you ask,
When you spend time with him that’s when you will realize
What a treasure he is, what a gentleman he is.
Lucky is she that found and keeps this treasure near her bosom.

Principled is just an understatement and for lack of a better word I will use it
A man of good character, integrity and honesty
Quick to make amends and reconcile for a wrong turn made
Thoughtful and considerate of other people feelings
A listener who will listens to you whether you make sense or not

Many have tried to ensnare and catch him
But he is ever so careful and wary of such people
Dismissing such kind politely and as humanly as possible
Able to keep confidential information as it is supposed to be
Treating all persons with dignity.


He is an early riser and a diligent work
Working till late into the night
For his family to be comfortable
To give what he may or may not have received
To lead a better fulfilling life.

Integrity and faithfulness are his core values
This has kept him going almost quite literally
He knows the importance of these virtues firsthand
He do not entertain unfaithful people
Those without integrity he abhors.

“This is too good to be true”, you say
But am yet to get to know about his weaknesses
I can only say what I have seen and heard
I know no one is perfect and he is no exception 
Am yet to find his imperfections though.

He may or may not have hidden his imperfections
Or maybe they are hard to come by
Could be there was no situation to bring them out 
That I was able to witness
And that is one of the reasons why it is an ongoing observation on my part
To really understand and get to know the person

February 3 Scripture Meditations Based on Numbers 24-27

Key Verse – Numbers 24:1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness. 

MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR BEING PLEASED TO BLESS ME 

Thank You for being pleased to bless me and my sincere seeking
According to Your vision’s working
While You open my eyes from blindness of sin-lurking
For me to behold Your truth that deceit is blocking.

According to Your guiding commands
While You smite my slothfulness of murmuring demands
For me to labour well in Your service-lands.

While You fire-up my dedication-earnestness
For me to bear fruits of ministry-effectiveness.

Thank You for being pleased to bless me and my teachable heart
According to Your principled lessons always right from the start
While You uphold my conviction to resist perversions’ dart
For me to stay in Your will, never to depart.

According to Your strength’s stability
While You empower my resolutions toward eternity
For me to prosper in Your work of life-changing opportunity.

Thank You for being pleased to bless me and my yielded soul
According to Your mercy’s compassion that makes me whole
While You mold my faith in performing Your assigned role
For me to fulfill my part in Your appointed goal.

Thank You for being pleased to bless me and my grateful stewardship
According to Your instruction’s directorship
While You harness my skills by Your leadership
For me to live for You with joyful followership in our relationship.
