mind over matter

mind over matter. Those three words are what keeps me calm and at peace through physical pain. I've learned from the masters. All the greatest kung fu masters like Bloodsport, Iron Monkey, Enter the Dragon, Ong Bak, Kill Bill, are sustained by this philosophy of mind over matter.

All this to say..

Today i foolishly declined on anesthetics during an operation of four my deep cavities, which two of them almost resulted in root canals. I guess the Dentist asked thinking my cavities were shallow but as he realized he was digging through a dark tunnel of bacteria known as Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus, he stopped the operation and asked firmly again. Once again, I said no; just to prove to myself that pain is nothing but a feeling; feelings being nothing but a stimulated sensory communicating with your brain. ouch. I still have too much to learn from the masters.


I guess I am not Chuck Norris. One day I wish to be. So I can do this

I leave to Malaysia for business tomorrow. I'm kind of excited, kind of nervous. It turned out to be a bigger conference/project/responsibility than I ever imagined. I hope I make them a lot of money. I miss my apartment and the friends that are usually there until dawn haha. But I miss even the ones that don't come.

Until then!
