The entire Journey to the West story mirrored off some human's real life encounters. Using the 7 deadly sins as a base,i was able to use the story to reflect situations that happens around me on a daily basis.


The problem is many knows what they did was not right,but yet they still go ahead to do it anyway. A good example for myself is that i know smoking is not good,but yet i still go ahead and smoke. Governments in the world knew that the exhaust gas coming out from any vehicle that are stationary equates to 200 to 300 sticks of cigarettes within 1-2 mins of turned-on engine,yet they put majority of the blame on smokers saying they pollute earth rather than on driver who drives a vehicle.

Thank you for finding the Batam Beginner's guide useful. As i have said before,travelling to Batam DO NOT REQUIRE any tour guide. Its like going to Sentosa except one would only need to bring their passport.

What they REALLY need? Enough correct information (which they need to read) ,the correct mentality (be humble etc),a small leap of faith and some courage. The rest of the trip would just be plain luck and the "practical lessons" they picked up to make comparison with the other bros in this forum when they returned back home later. My role here,more or less is to give them some “tiny bits” of confidence and to encourage them. I am also helping myself too.

You are welcome.
