"Oh no... Lieh not enough le... Everybody wants a piece of Lieh! I wish for 8 more Liehs: (1) One for God, (2) One for family, (3) One for friends (and maybe one more for more friends!), (4) One for games! (5) One for gym and be handsome, (6) One to do Great things! (7) One to do all other little things, (8) One to enjoy every beautiful things in the world, (9) And last one just for simply doing nothing! ... ... ... Ok, reserve for girl friend lah!"Lieh
Yup, that's how I get my blog title, "Lieh-Not-Enough". It is just another way to show my commitments in life. Jesus said this: "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (Matthew 6:21) These are the my treasures on earth and are always in my heart...
I once told God, "God, why don't you clone me into 8? Isn't it nice to have more of me? That I can do many more things, like serving you and loving you, etc.?" Then, I felt God's reply, and of humorous kind, He said:"Hmmm... if I clone you into 8 pieces, then the 8 of you will certainly come together to setup a LAN (Local Area Network) and then start playing multi-player RPG (Role Playing Game)!" Well... that's my God. :)
At times, I really cannot understand life, I mean as a human being living a life... There is so much things to take care of! From your very own family to friends, career, physical health, enjoyment, psychological and spiritual well-beings, etc. Then in your circumstances, i.e. the place you live and the surrounding places, of which in the end that defines the whole world, and if you would like to hold the link to further distance, there's an universe out there. The world has government, law, politics, religions, bu$ine$, economic, astronomy, sports, culture, languages etc. And forgetting not there's history, science, geography, arts, literature, etc. Simply too many things that I can ever think of.
I find it very true. Since young, I was thinking:
Other than "money not enough", another crucial element that human always in lack of, is time! I find it interesting also, all of us are given 24 hours a day, and this appears to be a very fair allocation. However, why there're people who always appear to be so free at the same time there're people who are so busy? Well of course, many other factors come in. Because people are in search of the wisdom of timing, there ensued "time management" in the world. But after that, "effort management" came in, and then there are many "managementsss" also exists. It is just like, first there's only IQ (intelligent quotient), then came out EQ (emotional quotient). And after that, there are many 'Q'sss!
Come back to "time"... Sometimes I feel that I will get irritated by the saying "I'm bored", "I'm so boring". To me, there are always something that I can do, something that I can improve on. There is always a book for me to read... ... ... Eh... not enough. Let me rephrase: There are always books waiting for me to read, games waiting for me to play, a research topic for me to start on, a gadget to explore, movies or TVs shows or dramas to watch, musics to listen to, concerts to attend, skills to acquire, lessons / courses to take, friends to meet, muscles to develop, Bible verses to memorize, new vocab to learn, stories and articles to write, Birthday cards to make, things to arrange???, adventures awaiting, people to take care of, own body to take care also, understanding more about one person, get a girl friend (oops), events to plan and execute, shoppings and going places, etc. etc. There are simply too many things in the world and in life that one should never get bored with! How can people still say "I am boring"??? Haha... I know I am very bad / naughty regarding this lah... But the true is, people are not in lack of actions (i.e. things to do), but lack of desires... i.e. the purpose, the motivation of doing certain things. I think I've heard one saying, "is not no action, but no motivation". "Boring(ness)" is not lack of actions, but can be lack of "energy", i.e. you are physically tired when your mind is still pretty awake, or lack of "desire", i.e. you are mentally or emotionally weary when you just wake up in the morning after 9 hours of sleep!
Oops... Haven't really talk about my "Lieh-Not-Enough" yet. I guess I was just drawing the frames and background of my main topic, main juice... Haha... Anyways, Lieh-Not-Enough is a way to show my commitments in life and a reflection of me as another ordinary human, also having "time not enough", "money not enough", energy / effort not enough, love not enough, happiness not enough, etc. But only 1 thing is ever enough... ... ... Ok, 2 things. One is problem. I had enough problems! That's for sure. Another thing is enough. Because "enough is enough"! Haha... Don't understand? Nevermind, never let it in your mind.
Aijo... typed so long already... still got a lot more to write leh... But shall reserve it next time ba... Otherwise gonna be absolutely long and lengthy.

The world has government, law, politics, religions, bu$ine$, economic, astronomy, sports, culture, languages etc. And forgetting not there's history, science, geography, arts, literature, etc. Simply too many things that I can ever think of.
But as only one human being, how can I live a perfect life? How about knowing everything? I was thinking, it can take whole lot of effort to "take care of yourself" already, but there's more to do! What do I mean by "take care of yourself"? Another words are "live healthily", to take care of your human body, from top to below, from hair to toe. Every part of our bodies are unique and therefore requires differentiated focus. I already cannot handle much. And I am still thinking of how to have a good diet habit so that I am healthier? To make the matter worse (or more challenging), the global warming has resulted in great impact. Humans are getting weaker and weaker. Diseases that we thought only old folks will get it, is now approaching the younger generations. Sometimes, because of DNA and stuff, your physical weakness will pass down to your lovely babies! Yes, there are babies born with certain sickness because of their fathers! That's so sad. That's only the physical part of human body. Another great piece of human, is the "mind" part you know? Your mindset is also very important, if you don't have a healthy mind, you will do crazy things. However if you have an open mind, you will probably do wondrous or incredible things! Until now, I am only talking about oneself.
Other than yourself, there's people around you, environment you live in, doing the things you love i.e. hobbies, having a job, earning salary and climbing the career stairs, etc. But we as only one person, what is the focus? or what are the focuses? In most cases, the majority will end up focusing on job or career of their lives. Why? Simply because there's $$$ factor involvement. In my Church, one of the main sermons is about "giving tithe & offering". Pastor Kong always says that "money = life" (I forgot the exact phrase he uses). And he will quote an example from working and earning salary. For example, if you work $10 per hour, and you work 8 hours per day. That 8 hours of your life is worth $80. Something like that.

I find it very true. Since young, I was thinking:
When you are working, you are earning money; when you are not working, then you are spending money.When we work, we get paid by timely basis or agreements. But the moment we are not working, i.e. after work, before work, on MC, on leave, and not to even mention unemployed, we are spending money... Transportation, electricity, water, eating, living, playing, communication, etc. One thing you can thank God of, is the air you breath is free of charge (as of until now)! Ok, time has changed, there are methods to earn money without you to spend time to work on it; there are ways to earn extra income, if not, to lose some money via investment and stuff, but that's not the focus now. So in everybody's life, money always matters though money is not everything in life. The classic saying still stands:
做工的时候是在赚钱；没做工的时候是在花钱。
有钱不是万能的，但是没钱却是万万不能的！In translation, it means that "money is not almighty, but definitely cannot be penniless!" Director Jack Neo (梁志强导演) has this movie called “钱不够用” (Money not enough) that was a big hit of the time because I think that it really speaks the heart of many souls, that money is not enough, and money is never enough!
Other than "money not enough", another crucial element that human always in lack of, is time!
