Well readers, most of you ask me why i don't update more often? Simply being, the time is not ripe yet. Because my posts can help some lost people get found and gives a different perspective over things. So i hope most of you can find an answer for your questions after reading my blogs.

One of the questions would be how can i get stronger?

Many a times people will look to the strong and wish that they were as strong and try all they can to be as strong. By doing so, they do get stronger, but they will never exceed their limits. Everyone has limitless potential, but they will never unleash it till they realise that instead of wishing to be as strong as others, they should work to create their own way and style and unleash the hidden potential from within and not copying what the strong does blindly. From what you learn off them, create your own unique method. Then you will truely be strong.

The second question would be, why must you train till so tough jason?

I had a sudden thought today. If the world didn't have a Jason Mak, would everyone be happier? For i am a guy who has the mind and body of the warring era, but lives in the mordern age. Ironic huh. People always ask me, Jason, why must you train so hard, why must you get so involved? The answer is, the outdoors has too many uncertainties. DEATH lingers around every corner. If i don't train to protect everyone, if something goes wrong, who will protect them, more importantly, who can? For no one bothers to learn or even train. One Word, "COMPLACIENT" Therefore, i took it upon myself to protect everyone. I chose to walk the tougher and lonlier road. Do you dare? Or maybe, Do you wanna try to see your friend lost in front of you due to the fact that you are not strong enough? Think about it.

Well my dear readers, after a long break, i have finally decided to post my next entry.

How time flies. So it comes, chinese new year is here. But that a again, in all the laughter in the air, with all the joy in the atmosphere. I, am not happy, for there was yet another earthquake in asia, with the power of 7.3. It struck me. I only had one thought, that was to go to the area hit and try to help out. but that again, in the festive season, there was absolutely no flights available. All i can do is pray for the best for them. The last thing i wish to see is another tsunami.

Another thing also occured to me. That is while we are laughing, enjoying, feasting, the victims out there are all crying, mourning, and griefing over the loss of their livelihood and their loved ones. Why is the heavens so cruel to them. Can't we all live in peace?

Many times, people ask me, "Jason, why do you care for them? Jason, why do you get so involved in doing this services? Are you trying to gain fame?"

The simple answer is NO. What ever i do, is out of a true heart to help. Doubting me is even worst than insulting me or even killing me. The question i would like to ask to those who asked me, would be, Will you care for them?

How fake, some would say. I would not defend myself, all i'll say is that, no matter fake or real, i will still care for them. Would you?

Well this is my last post before i go to China Ppl... I will be back on the 18th nov.....

The past few days has been a very enjoyable one, for i have a god sister. She is none other than Christina, well going to the china trip will be fun, but no doubt i will miss quite a lot of ppl here. Firstly will be my darling girlfriend, Yi hui, then will be follwowed by my little sisters Rebacca and Christina and also not forgeting my lil girl Lek Teng. Well girls i hope that when i'm not around u will all take care of each other and yourself.

A new chapter of life has begun for many ppl, i am included too of course. Everyday there are people out there with mishaps happening to them, and yet we will always complain life is unfair to us. What about the others? Is god trying to make fun of them? Some ppl may be born blind, some may be deaf etc, but are they all unhappy? Many of us are born normal, but are we all happy? Happiness does not come by the materialistic side of life nor is it from the conditions of living, but Happiness comes from the heart. With all the money in the world, you may not be happy, with a completely fine body you may not be satisfied. But when u help to put a smile in other peoples life, the feeling is something that only by experiencing will be understood.

Many a time man think that what ever happens to others may not concern them, thus they choose to ignore and not do anything. But I believe no matter who you are, where you come from, as long as it is something that is within my limit of power, i will try my best to help. What ever the circumstances, help will be given when help is needed. Now more ppl have started to think this way. This is a concept of paying it forward. By doing kind deeds to people without asking for any thing in return, and getting those you help to do kind deeds to more people, the world would be a better place. What do you think?

Think of what i said, when come back, tell me about what you think and understood. Till Then, take care everyone......

After another long break the Mak is updating again.....

Well after finishing with my exams, i am now on a kayak Coaching course to be a kayaking instructor.... Along with me are Ivan, Brian, and Kenneth.... Well this is another step to my goal as an outdoor educator....

That again, during my exams i had to deal with a shock.... During one of the nights in his army camp, he was playing soccer, and out of a sudden he collapsed and was annouced deceased 2 hours later. He was from the canoe polo alumni team i train in. He was the strongest of us all. He was in his mid twenties. And now he has left.

How could someone of his caliber, strength and physical ability just collapse.... It shook me greatly... It made me rethink the things i did in the past, i am doing now, and what i want to do in the future...

For all the people i have hurt, be it physically or mentally or emotionally, i sincerely apologise to all of you...

How unpredictable life is.... It can give birth to life in a matter of months and it can take life away in a blink of an eye...

Blood is spilled all over the world..... First of the severe cases was World War 1, then came WW2, the gulf war, terrorism, the Tsunami... Then came the flash floods and heat waves, then came Hurricane Katrina... and now Hurricane Rita... I sometimes wonder, how much more blood has to be spilled before people realise that sometimes the simplest answer to the most complex answer is most effective one? Just a little act of kindness and being considerate can sometimes fix what we a facing.....

Think of it....

Well for me i guess i'll still carry on to live towards my dream of being an outdoor educator... I enjoy teaching people from all walks of life the different aspects of living and doing things in the outdoors, also to teach people the different adventure sport and let them experience things they have never experienced before...

Ok enough of all the Deep thoughts and heavy atmosphere.... I have now finished my first theory and practical session of my coaching level 1... I feel like a noob all over again.. And thats a great feeling cos i get to relearn all my skills and rehone them....

Once i have finished my course i'll start to do coaching for OB ppl i hope... and of course i'll do coaching as a rice bowl to earn my keep... lol....

Right i am now wasted and burnt....... I'll update this blog sometime later.....
till then.... Stay cool and happy ppl....

Spent the whole day at home today, attempted to study, but i guess i failed badly in my attempt. I spent the whole day listening to love songs and staring blankly in air. Shit man can't focus, i wonder wat's going on. Haiz, time just seem to have slip pass me like water running in the river. While staring blankly in the air, all that was in mind were all flash backs of the past. Man this has got to stop. God help me, if this carries on, i will be locked in the past and time will be wasted and will fade away from me......

Wah today damn shiok sia, burned a new cd and was listening to a Very nice song, by Wen Lan and Tie Zhu Tang---Neng Bu Neng.

This song narrates a four part love story abt a guy and a gal. When they first met, the gal fell for the guy in first sight, but the guy treated her as an enemy. But the gal did not give up and kept on loving him and waiting for him. Day by day, night by night, the gal waited and prayed for the day the guy will finally love her.

Finally one fateful night, the guy's life turned around when he was walking cross the road, he was almost run down by a car, but all of a sudden the gal came out from no where and pushed him aside. The gal got hit by the car and went into a coma. The guy waited by her bed.

3 days later, when the gal woke up, she saw the guy asleep and he was holding on to her hands, her ward was filled with flowers and her pictures. When the guy woke up, he saw the gal awake with tears running down her face. The gal asked her why was her picture all over the ward. The guy looked into her eyes and told her softly "i loved u for a long time, but i was too proud and scared to tell u" Then he added "after wat happened the other day, i know for sure i'll be lost without u. pls dun leave me ever.......I love u"

And as of all love stories, the guy and the gal lived happily forever after. Well i guess this story tells us how precious life is and we will only cherish someone we love after something happen. Morale of the story, life is short, cherish those around u and dun be afraid to tell someone u love him/ her, cos if u ever miss the chance, u may live to regret not tell the person how u felt.
