Arts, Collecting or Hoarding?

Arts is always a big part of my life. Loves the creative part of it.

I've been collecting a lot of artistic things since I don't remember when. Most probably since high school but nothing that worth much.

Misc Collection #2
Those are so cute, aren't they?
My collection have been stacking quite a lot but most of it are kept in boxes. Just because the limitation of spaces.

This is part of my life that is quite distance from everyone around me. I don't really share but that will change.

Misc Collection #1
All in boxes.
I'll be opening and displaying them around and I'll share here too. I hope all these arts that get me excite and makes me happy will makes someone else excite and happy too.

Investment, best ever or just lies?

Do you know the biggest lies about investment that have been thrown at us all the time? The promise to get rich?
"Invest in gold, the most stable investment ever!"
"Invest in stocks, the opportunity is unlimited!"
"Invest in mutual funds, the interest is consistence!"
"Invest in property, the most profitable investment ever!"
I tell you, it's all just a pep-talk. We won't get rich. Best we can be with the investment? Most probably a little bit more money than we have before.

Or just wait till the bubble burst, we'll lose most of it, or some. And what they'll say?
"Invest more! It is time to buy! Soon they'll go to the moon!"
And in all those time, who profit the most? The one who is trying to SELL you the investment, the MIDDLEMAN!

The one who sold us the gold, the one who sold us the stocks, the one who sold us the mutual funds, the one who sold us the property.

THE MIDDLEMAN!

Each time we buy our soon to be rich investment, we are a bit poor minus the fees.
And the same each time we sell our investment. Minus some more fees.

The one who is selling or the middleman is the only getting richer. Accumulating the wealth without any loss. Solid profit.

So, we go back to the basic question. How do we really get rich?

Start selling. Or be a middleman.

Relativity of Time VS The Actual Time

At one point, we have so much to do end up not doing anything.

What happen to all the time that we had?

Do we really had our time? Doing something irrelevant? What happen really?

Do the time just pass, lost or it is not there to begin with?


People love to talk about productivity in time.

It is easy to measure cycle of completed physical task in certain period of time.

But how do we measure productivity in thinking?


p.s. I've been thinking, really.

We are all hero or we are not?

All of us surely wants to be a hero to somebody somewhat, somehow. 


It is so demanding. Even to the greatest person on earth, hardly realistic to be one. We are always being clouded by fairy tales, a fantasy of living a perfect life. Superman, batman, spiderman, Cicakman?

With high expectation, comes great disappointment. That might not be a life worth living.
Let me go. I don't want to be your hero.

Soul

I had a crush on language. But never get to dive in deep.

This poem by A Samad Said definitely make me remember a lot of things.


I even forget that I used to love cerpensyair and sajak and a lot of other things.

To look back of who I am 15 years back, I forgo a lot of things since.

Now?

I don't read as much, I don't draw as much, I don't design as much. I don't scribble as much. I don't even think as much.

There is not much soul left in me.

No, thanks. I don't think so.
