Wham! A tribute to life.

Imagine yourself on a bike, about to make a left turn at a cross junction, but just waiting there for the red light to turn green. Suddenly and without warning, a truck going at 100kilometers and hour rams into the rear of your motorbike. The bike crumples and skids. It is smashed beyond recognition nor repair. Somehow by a stroke of miracle, you escaped the accident barely scathed. After taking relating your account of the accident to the traffic police, you proceed to the General Hospital for a routine inspection. No one's hurt in this accident and your bike's insured.

Mohd the Philosopher, you are a lucky bastard to be alive. You better thank your stars.

Ice Cream

Maybe it's because of you, Ice cream feels very special now.
Tried Chocolate Temptation at Causeway point yesterday: it's very thick and sweet, but not overly sweet.

I just had a passing thought. I can't remember the last time i ate a non-chocolate ice cream. Chocolate ice cream... hmm...

Maybe I need a change of flavour. Can anyone suggest me a new flavour?

Wind Walk

A walk around the central part of Singapore reminds me how bustling this city actually is. Even deep down in the earth while waiting for the electric train along the north eastern line, I see hordes of school children scurring down the escalator like mice, led by their teacher the bag piper. I see beautiful people everywhere. Somehow it just brings a smile to your face, like how life is actively present everywhere.

A gathering with my ex poly mates made me realized how much things can change. People don't change much, but the big picture changes. It just brings out how capable time is in changing things.

July 17. Hmm, isn't today the school's alumni dinner? I wonder how time have changed the secondary peeps. But paying 40 bucks to see how they changed? Nah, maybe not. Furthermore, the teachers whom i want to talk to have mostly left.

"Even the seas of Neptune could not watch the blood off your hands'' - From "Macbeth"

Just reminded of an incident in secondary school. Alright 6am... high time to sleep. Hmm you should be deep in slumber now. Hope you are smiling in your sleep. Hope I will too. Cheerios.

P/S:Opps it's actually 16thJuly.. hee

Two types of people

When a person is caught up in his life, he tends to care more about the events and things which are unfolding and happening around him. Such a person would be engaged mostly in things which are pratical and hold realistic values in his life. That is when you can see that a person actually has a so-called "life".

Conversely when a person is caught up in himself, he could be subjected to external emotional influences, care more about the people around him. Onlookers usually deem them as more sensitive people. Such a person usually likes to engage in philosophical and so-called "intellectual" conversations. He may be the type who holds more value in certain personality traits and character qualities which cannot be seen and measured distinctively.

The first one is the Fighter, the second the Philosopher.

From what I believe, the Fighter usually fares better at the pratical aspects of life, including the financial and career aspects.

The Philosopher spends all his time in his study room, trying to figure out the meaning of meaning. He may not be as well-to-do or as happy as the Fighter, but he tends to possess greater knowledge in the other less noticed aspects of life.

At the peak of a mountain, there lies a manual to enlightenment. It holds the teachings of a great philosopher. To ascend the peak, there is only one route. The passage is fraught with great danger. If he wants to survive the route, he has to possess the qualities of a fighter. When he obtains the manual, he will realize that throughout the tedious journey besotted with barriers, he has already gained certain wisdom and experience which are what the content in the manual is more or less about.

The Philosophical Fighter is born.

Face the Trials

It's high time you face the truth. There is a good news and a bad news.

The bad news first: You are a perpetually broke, eternally procrastinating, musically uninclined unhealthy idiot with a will of jelly living in a dazed world.

Guess what? The good news is, you can change all that!

Now, what are you going to do about it?

*smirk*

Aims?

People around me seems to be focused on achieving their dreams and living their lives. Darren has his "Five Years Plan", Yano has her own list of "To-Dos", the Master is working to become a "Somebody", and the Philosopher has got his own "Shoes" finally and is working towards his "Umbrella". What about my dreams? Remains to be said, i guess.
