80% of the world's trade is still done by sea today.

Every 2 months, a bulk carrier disappears from the vast sea with total loss of life.

[Quote from Discovery Channel]

That's how scary Mother Nature can be. Perhaps, everything is due to fate.

You've heard of stories of how survivors escape from disasters.

A woman called in sick and a few minutes later her colleagues perish with the world's once tallest twin towers.

A man fell ill and did not board the ship he was supposed to be on. Days later, the killer sea walloped Derbyshire together with all his once colleagues. Ahoy! Mates disappeared from his dictionary from then on.

A lady got stucked in a traffic jam and missed her flight. Hours later, the plane crashed, bringing all passengers down with it.

A struck of fate, the game in the hands of heaven. You live, you die.

Sure, i would like to believe that fate is controlled by humans and that you get anything you want just by fighting for it, but sometimes you just have to believe in it. Humans can never go against nature. It's a fact proven time and again but humans choose to ignore the warning signs and continue destroying earth. I will admit that I'm not a noble citizen of Planet Earth, I do pursue certain luxuries like other normal human being of right-thinking humans.

Sometimes i have no idea why should there even be living things on earth when all will perish one day. For a taste of the flavours of life? Perhaps...

Projects, Deadlines, Projects, Deadlines, Projects, Deadlines, Individual Reports, Deadlines, Tests, Deadlines......

That's pretty much what's in for me at the moment. So much so that my brains are beginning to protest and threatening to quit its job unless I give it some therapy.

Well, been going on some retail therapy these days. Minor sprees, but money just seems to flow out of my poor wallet without hesitating. I'm always hoping the 'future money' that i'm working for will refill the vacancies but in vain. In fact, my brains tell me that it's alright to spend now and refill later. Bad. Really Bad. Someone please stop me from spending unnecessary money. What's the chance. Bleargh!

Anyway, 2 and a half more week of school and it's semester breaks. The time to have fun and earn money as well, plus some time to slow down my steps and really plan for my future. My future...sometimes i wonder how would it be. Let it be excellent in a very good way please.

2 more weeks of school this semester, one and a half months of holidays, 6 weeks of school for 2 modules, 3 months of internship at a hopefully good place, and off we go on to another phase of our lives with that piece of paper in our hands.

Time waits for no one. How true, I still remember the first taste of polytechinic life. I made a big circle and found the right clique willing to accept me - The De'Lites. Polytechnic life wouldn't be fun and extravagant without them.

I love the talks we always have almost everyday, it's eye-opening how different views come together. It's fun how we gossip and bitch like nobody's business. It's amazing how we came from different upbringings, different backgrounds, different schools, different families, different languages, different races, different religions, and we respect each other.

Okay, it's becoming like a thank you speech...Haha..

Cheers to a better tomorrow!

Til then folks.. ;)

"Money, please roll freely into my bank account so i can continue spending like this...Thank you..."

"Snap snap snap..."



A day of shopping and snapping...

"Snap snap snap" went my lovely Sony camera though it's not as good as it's higher-tech cousins. "Don't worry camera, I still love you..."

I've started talking to non-living things a lot. My bear, my pillow, my mp3 player, my tv...the list goes on... Not forgetting to the other me in the mirror as well. It never fails to cheer me up when i get a new accessory for my mobile. Gee...

The world has been spinning for as long as it can be. As slow as it seems, time surpasses the feeling, leaving you behind with no mercy. Sometimes you stop at a crossroad, confuse as to which direction you want to move on.

"Where?"

"I have no idea."

Perhaps it's time to slow down our pace of life and think about the slightest and often neglected things in our lives.

Have you ever tilted your head to appreciate the stars in the sky?

Do you reflect on what you've done for the day before you set off for slumberland?

Have you ever wondered about the wonders and power of nature?

Have you ever come to a conclusion as to whether the egg or the chicken comes first?

Have you thought of why the mediocre things in life happen?

Well...

Til Then Folks... Cheers to another day..They do say tomorrow will be a better day right?

Fun and Extravagance...with work done..

Fun and Extravagance...with work done..







Til then folks...Cheers to never ending killer projects..BAH!

Tired, exhausted, strained, deprived of sleep...everything...
