Crash



There comes a time in a person's life where they wish to just slam their head in the pillows and just fall asleep. Unfortunately, it is not that simple

Google's latest assessment of insomnia says that half of the world's insomniacs have unresolved issues such as worry and etc. I stared upon the screen and wished it too explode. Then again maybe that is considered an unresolved issue.

Strange things happen when people do not get enough sleep. For one thing it is said their body coordination or stability gets well "disturbed"-lack of a better word, sue me.- Let's just say one tends to fall or bump into hard stationary objects.

It boggles me that when one third of the world are begging for sleep and are unable to, the other quarter are perfectly able to and trying not to. If only I was the latter.

Lame Jokes

"Laureen do you know how to bake pancakes?"

"No, KJ. How?"

"You take a cake and put it in a pan. Tadaa!"

"You are dead."

______________________________________________________

I was running on Christmas day. I did not know where I was heading. All I did was run and somehow I ended up in a florist. The lady asked me what did I want? And I wondered what on earth was I doing there Christmas day?

Nonetheless, there I was and it was as though my hand had a mind of its own when I took a stalk of yellow daisies. Next thing I knew I was paying for them to be wrapped up for my mum.


It was crazy. Yet it was worth it when I saw her face.


Sometimes people do crazy things without thinking and I suppose on that Christmas day, I went on an impulsive run just because I could.


I guess my point is, have you ever just stopped and done something that was spontaneous-even something as easy and meaningful as buying your mum flowers? It struck me that life is about these little stuff that happens. The memories of laughing together or just watching a movie. Its about the little things like running to a florist on Christmas day to buy a flower.

The thing is do you cherish those moments or do you let it slip through your hands?

Oh, Merry Christmas!

Spm is over and everyone is on a huge long break. Some are of overseas or outstation while the rest are stuck at home wondering what to do. Watching TV and going online is now the only entertainment. Boredom has set in and basically everyone is drifting. Some have taken jobs and started planing for the next coming year while the rest just go Christmas shopping or food hunting. The year is about to end and next year promises incredible change. For one thing, the US now has Barack Obama as its leader. Malaysian politics are still as scandalous and interesting as ever. And lets not forget Chinese New Year where red packets are given.

So go on and have a great Christmas and a brilliant New Year. The year is at an end, celebrate it!

Its 2.50 am, correction 2.51
I'm still awake, why? I don't even know why. All I do know is that I am still an insomniac. So what does a girl do when she wants to sleep?

Read. Sudoku. Drink Milo. Stare at the wall. Play online games. More Sudoku. Google-ing on ways to fall asleep.

Steps to fall asleep.
1)Think of something very calming. -calming... Milo swirling in the cup*stomach growls*hunger?
2)Make sure you have a comfortable bed in which you can get a good night's sleep. -bed.. it seems OK.
3)Soundproof your room.- It's Karyn proof..for now.
4)Read.-I did that. And I'm still not asleep. Gosh.
5)Adjust the lights to a level you are comfortable with.- It's dark, what am I suppose to adjust?
6)Get into a comfortable position, loosen any tight restrictive clothing. -makes me wonder, who wears tight jeans and etc when they sleep.
7)Practice deep breathing.-breathes in,breathes out. Am I asleep? Apparently not.
8)Imagine yourself sinking into the mattress.- *Sinking thoughts, sinking thoughts* Am I asleep? Ah shucks!
9) Imagine a swinging pendulum.-pendulum..hmm Add maths, spm, school, prom? Lizards?
1o) Count sheep.- One lamb chop, two mutton curry, three roast lambs...*stomach growls*

Gosh, when will this end?

April 3rd..

Craziness,

I was putting up my tree alone by myself a few days ago and I discovered a few things.

1) Bricks are hard to find. (don't ask)
2) Apparently I have x'mas songs in my pc. Question is where is the cd?
3) In a house that virtually has almost everything, I can't find any tape or wrapping paper.
4)X'mas lights have strange connecting wires. Very weird ones.
5) Channel 3 is weirder. I found ads that made me wish I poked my eyes.
6) I'm taller than the tree. =)

Prom...

I wonder... should I elaborate? Nah..

WEBSTER: Because of the sign.
TEACHER: What sign
WEBSTER: The one that says, “School Ahead, Go Slow.”


TEACHER: Cindy, why are you doing your math
multiplication on the floor?
CINDY: You told me to do it without using tables!


TEACHER: John, how do you spell “crocodile?”
JOHN: K-R-O-K-O-D-A-I-L”

TEACHER: “George Washington not only chopped down

JOHNNY: “Because George still had the axe in his hand.”


Here is an explanation of the school homework policy:

Students should not spend more than 90 minutes per night. This time should be budgeted in the following manner:

15 minutes looking for assignment.

11 minutes calling a friend for the assignment.

23 minutes explaining why the teacher is mean and just does not like children.

8 minutes in the bathroom.

10 minutes getting a snack.

7 minutes checking the TV Guide.

6 minutes telling parents that the teacher never explained the assignment.

10 minutes sitting at the kitchen table waiting for Mom or Dad to do the assignment.

Life


When things in your life seem almost too much to handle and when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 Beers .

____________________________________________

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things---your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.The sand is everything else---the small stuff.'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play a game. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf ball first---the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented. The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked. The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.'




The rest is just sand.

An interesting conversation.

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the Problem Science has with God Almighty. This is the conversation he had with a student of his.

Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, you Believe in God ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is God Good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to GOD to Heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent )

Professor : You can't answer, can you ? Let's start again, Young Fella. Is GOD Good?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Is Satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor : Where does Satan come from ?
Student : From . . . GOD . . .
Professor : That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this World?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor : So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer)

Professor : Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, who Created them ?

(Student had no answer)

Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World around you. Tell me, son . . . Have you ever Seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Professor : Yet you still Believe in HIM?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor : Yes, Faith. And that is the Problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor : Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor : Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn't.
(The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events )

Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega Heat, White Heat, a Little Heat or No Heat. But we don't have anything called Cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as Cold. Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat. We cannot Measure Cold. Heat is Energy. Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.

(There was Pin-Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )

Student : What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as Darkness?
Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn't Darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light . . . but if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and its called Darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it is, were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?

Professor : So what is the point you are making, Young Man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Professor : Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD. You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can't even explain a thought. It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing. Death is Not the Opposite of Life, just the Absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students that they evolved from a Monkey?

Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes, of course, I do. Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shook his head with a Smile, beginning to realize where the Argument was going)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and cannot even prove that this Process is an On-Going Endeavor, are you not teaching your Opinion, sir? Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?

(The Class was in Uproar )

Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the Professor's Brain?

(The Class broke out into Laughter )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's Brain, Felt it, touched or Smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that You have No Brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir?

(The Room was Silent. The Professor stared at the Student, his face unfathomable)

Professor : I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student : That is it sir . . . Exactly ! The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.


PS:The student is thought to be Albert Einstein. I thought it was interesting conversation nonetheless. It makes you think.

So when the school was nearly empty what did a bunch of seniors do on their last day?

We Took Pictures.. signed nonsense on each other's clothing.. Signed more nonsense on the school basketball court.

Loads of things happen after 1.


It is dark and the night is quiet. The time? 1.00 am.

Late for a person to be up yet as I glanced at my MSN, there were more than a handful of night owls like myself.

I can hear water dripping from the toilet.

My parent's snoring orchestra can be heard from their bedroom.

The washing machine plays it personal ring tone to tell all the wash is done.

The smoke from the mosquito coil burns.

I see a lizard eat an ant?

And an apple goes into my stomach.


Yes, loads of things happen after 1.

Just Pass It On.

Today, I went to youth and Audrey gave an incredible message. One of her points out of the entire thing was reason to why the world today seemed so horrible.

People have often asked themselves and others why if God existed, are bad things happening around us? The answer was so simple and made so much sense that it was almost dumb that no one got it before.
The reason why there is tyranny, poverty, oppression, racism, discrimination, death and etc is because we as people do not make the decision to stand up against it. We do not rise up and choose to make a difference to change things for the better. Why not? After all who said we are unable to do so?

Audrey told the youths a story of a young man working a freelance job. The man drives each day along the highways to catch people whom were stranded in whatever situations, and offers help in return of nothing. The man does this only because of the fact that he was once saved by another man when he was caught in a blizzard. When he tried to thank his savior, the man did not want a reward. Instead the man told him to pass it on.

So, pass on every good deed done upon you and right every wrong committed in front of your eyes. You do not need to join the army or feed the poor to make a difference. It is the small things that sometimes causes a larger ripple affect.

Question is, do you care enough to do it?

Hope.

They believe that all will be right despite all odds. They hold on to hope that one day life would be better. And in a strange way they show us humility and give us realisation that if we persevere, nothing is impossible.

They are ever ready to help.
They work for a living.
They have friends.


They study.


They go to work.

Who are they?
Just regular people like you and me trying to live.

A miracle.


Thursday

I went off to join my friends somewhere near school to do some "studying". We actually did study for a bit but nonetheless that is not the point.

I was on my way home from that outing and the four of us were smashed into a taxi like a can of sardines.

Each one of us shared the cab due to it being a lot safer and cheaper. Was dropped off halfway and quite near my home. I had a nagging feeling I had forgotten something but I could not remember what.

Cut the long story short, I found out I lost my wallet that day. By the time I realised it, it was already 4 pm the next day. I was in hysterics to be honest and spooked a few unnamed people.

The rest of the days came and went. And then just yesterday when I was sitting in from of my laptop just checking my mail, something amazing happened.


An Angel appeared on my doorstep! It was the taxi driver from Thursday and he had my wallet and Identity card and everything.

It was a miracle... an incredible moment.

Chocolate.

The sweetness of life to me in just like chocolate. It tastes bitter sweet at times and the flavour is unforgettable.

It brings a huge smile on one's face. And sweet joy to the soul. That describes how life is when it is lived with a purpose and filled with hope, joy, and laughter.
To me, life is best lived with a bar of chocolate in your hand and a smile on your face.
So, take a break and have a Kit-Kat.

Blinding Pain..

In need of drugs... my stomach.. It burns!
_______________________________________________________

It was time to go home and as students rushed to the gates, the rain pelted on their little heads. Ah, don't we all love it? I was about to take the bus when lo and behold it took off leaving me behind.
I was hungry, I was pelted by acid rain, and I was tired. Waited for a taxi at a bus stop. As I was too impatient, I decided to join Sam for study group at the mamak stall. While heading there, I saw a cab.
Cool.

So, I got in instead and met an interesting taxi-driver whom actually managed to put a smile on my face. It is amazing how no matter what you feel, a simple act of kindness makes everything better. What act of kindness have you done today?

Jumping tomatoes.

It started ever so slowly... It was flying so freely and then it happened with a blink of an eye. It bounced! And jumped and went splat on Karyn's face.. Ha..

__________________________________________________________________

I was sitting quietly in front of the PC minding my own business when my sister came tumbling into me. Goodness knows why. All I ever did was threaten to send an I'M to my friend who happened to be online that she liked him.. See it was so definitely not my fault.


The other day I was sitting down doing absolutely nothing when then she comes storming in saying, "You have my socks!" So, it turns out I did, but the point is it was not my fault
I do not look for trouble, it usually finds me.
You get how it is, yes?

*Its not my fault.

Strength

Hold on.. and do not be afraid.

That was what my Dad told me one day when he saw me sitting down by myself. Simple words said filled with encouragement. SPM (O-levels) is around the corner and so is NS and etc. High school is almost over and everyone is in a hurry to study or rushing through the syllables. Everyone says good luck and a lot of pressure is felt. At these times it is definitely best to hear encouragement more than nagging.

It gives us time to reflect and understand that we are only human (teenagers nonetheless).

So what do we have to loose if we try to do our best? Giving up is worse than trying and failing at the process. By giving up, we would not only fail others around us. We fail ourselves.

So, I am willing to try and go on trying. Are you?



*NS is national service. It is a requirement for a selected few to go through intense training. Ah, I for see burnt forests where I'm going.

I'm in love

It is this incredible little feeling. My tummy feels like knots and my heart sings with joy.
La la la.. I feel like soaring and screaming and laughing. I feel absolutely happy.. So free..
It feels like a tiny bit of heaven.. Oh, I love you....

Sweet, sweet desserts.


oh Sudoku I love you...

To be or not to be.

It is Hari Raya today and what did I do?
Sleep, sleep, eat, sleep, and eat, and sleep. Everything else I did in between does not concern you. Nonetheless, have you ever had a day where all you felt like doing was laze about and just stare at the wall and do nothing? This was one of these days. So when half of Malaysia was probably busy with celebrations, I did what the other half of the country did. I did absolutely nothing.
And oh my, what bliss... It is a week of solid freedom away from school. Oh, the joy!

If only, if only the call for responsibility ceases to sound in my head. And somehow the sounds have taken to a liking to speak to me through my mum's voice.
"Laureen, have you cleaned your room? And stop digging in the fridge!"

It is the holidays after all. And if you do not pig out then, when do you?

-Karyn, stop stealing my potatoes. Get your own!
Hari Raya is a muslim holiday. It lasts for two days. For more info, please look it up at google or wikipedia or other search engines. Thank you.

Purpose.

Have you ever thought how life would be like if you did not exist? How different it would be if not one person like you on the face of the Earth ever existed. Are you truly significant to the very extend that your death affects all around you? Is your being alive actually meaning something at all? Do you matter? Or are you just living a life filled without any purpose at all? In other words, are you putting any effort to matter to yourself at the very least?
There are tons of people whom at their deathbed would wish for more time in their hands. Thoughts of having more time left on Earth often plague their mind.
Have you ever heard of the phrase, living for the moment? Maybe it means something instead of just being some catchy phrase. Live for the moment to the fullest extend and with a purpose. A person can just allow himself to be caught up at the moment of fun or say to the feeling of freedom. Yet, is it meaningful? Will you regret what you do or feel in this life? Are the things you do or the choices you make important?
Everyone in the KL area is forced to read “the Pearl” for the Form 5 exam. Of course being teenagers, we all choose to read the easier and much more interesting synopsis. However, in spite of all that, it cannot be denied that “the Pearl” has a lesson that shows our actions do affect everything in our lives sooner or later.
So what am I going to do with my life? Should I sit around stay as I am and forever hoping something would happen? Or should I just get up and do something?
Do I wait until Mey Yie’s Danny boo stops looking “hot” before I even begin to try? Or do I just start living?
You have a choice to make. And it is up to you to decide if you want to get up and change yourself or to sit down and just be alone. Stand up and believe you can affect everyone around you.

In other words, stop complaining and just do something yourself.

Plush toys

Sentimental value.
Cuddly and all ever so cute and adorable. Your little sister's best friend or most likely the scrounged up toy from your childhood.
Yes, we all know what they are. Plush toys. What is scary about plush toys are the fact that they have taken a new look. Apparently toy designers have decided to use deformed or mutated animals as inspiration.
At one look of these toys... the little girl inside of me has the urge to hug and reject them. Let us just say not all are that cute and cuddly.



Is that a frog or a hamster?

And this is just scary.

*Happy tree friends, you have changed the way I look at plush toys.

Do not mean real harm here little people.


This dog, is dog, a dog, good dog, way dog, to dog, keep dog, an dog, idiot dog, busy dog, for dog, 20 dog, seconds dog! ... Now read without the word dog.


News: 3 Chimps escaped from the zoo... 1 was caught watching TV... another playing football and the third one was caught reading this text message.


I have a confession to make
ever since i met you its been hard for me to forget you
every night i see you in my dreams
and find myself shouting for each time I realise it was not dream.


Can u pronounce good English:- read along woof,
roof, loof, shoof, shoof, woof, loof, roof,
poof, woof woof, hoof, woof, roof, shoof.

have you read all the words
Test results: You are a good dog. Now stop barking.


The animals of a jungle have decided to hold a meeting. The lion has come, the tiger has come, the elephant has come, the monkey has come.. But The meeting has not started. Guess why ? Because the Donkey is busy reading this message.

Stalkers

Now, I never thought I of all people would be stalked... As in finding myself in a situation where actual stalking is involved.
Yet if we think carefully about what majority of the teenage girl population has proven, we humans are rather quite in depth in the activity. For is it no secret that almost every teen girl has once followed a superstar or hot guy on magazines?-hence, helping the magazine industry-

*I am not one them, though... Oo Daniel Radcliffe...

So, is it really any mystery that stalking seems to be the favourite past time of certain individuals. At the very least they have yet to gone overboard with the entire idea. Back then-where dinosaurs roam-, the only form of communication was talking, shouting, messages by birds, letters, and my ever favourite smoke signals (Probably the cause of global warming if you ask me.).
You see back then, if you needed to disturb someone, you just have to well talk to him or her. Yet there was always the dilemma of not being able to find the said poor soul. So hence, we stalk? But that was back then (when men found fire), it was different. Today stalking has taken a new twist. Behold the secret admire and now the C-box writers. Behold "Anonymous" and "Dannyboo" whom I know are the very same person. At the very least I do know they have not gone into reality mode and started practicing lame rip-offs of some ninja stealth moves. God help us all if they do.

And pop goes the oven...

Yesterday.

Laureen: Hey mey yie, I have a huge dilemma..
Mey Yie: You don't say.
Laureen: Yea, I had this huge feeling two people I knew were sitting behind me in class went missing. Do you have any idea who they are?
Mey Yie: Erm no... sorry but they sound familiar.
Laureen: I know! I wonder who could they be...

___________________________________________________________________________

Ah.. Mey yie, Mey Yie.. Saranya .. "SaLaDnya"..
What would I do without you? Heck you both make me crazily insane (although some would argue I'm always insane.) and yet there is something that keeps us glued together and laughing about nonsical topics.
Now... nearly everyday from the moment I met the two "again"... My life has well became a lot more fun in every single aspect. and this blog post is for the both of them. The monkeys. (Oops, did I type that?)
Anyway, the thing is girls in general will always long for the occasional girl talk. Where we can just sit, read magazines and yap about hot guy pics or the simple beauty of a great great great GREAT pair of shoes... or just about Kaka.
Despite the fact that your friends may be guys, you simply cannot, could not, talk to them about how great a newly bought skirt makes you feel. Hah, they would say it's nice but that would be all... Then again they might keep their comments to themselves. The point is talking to a guy is 10 times so much more different than with a girl. And as the 80's (I think.) song goes, girls just wanna have fun.
How do I describe friendship with the two most crazy girls on earth? (But I still love them.. hah!)
I think their names and their bubbling personalities speak for itself. Amazing in every way...And one does come to a point when one starts to realise that the moments spent with your girlfriends are ten times crazier. Hence magnifying every laughter, feeling, joy and etc. You get my meaning. And so in my ever so happy mood, I end this post by wishing happy hols to all in Saujana and KL.. it is a week of freedom after all


Oh M & S, since I wrote this and you left me by my lonesome self yesterday, you owe me tips now.

right....

OK so...

Now there was this little caterpillar...
__________________________________________________

Right, I was just minding my own business when I found this piece of paper on the ground. Now a sensible person would have walked away. But what caught my eye was the fact that on this paper... I found a word so simple that I wonder why I never appreciate it's meaning.
Peace.

Honestly, what was written upon the paper was just random nonsense and the word is so cliche that the word has lost it's meaning.

Peace.
What comes to mind each time one hears the word is the Hippy sign made in the 70's. Not to mention it's always the answer every cliche Pageant Queen show seems to have when the contestants are questioned what they want?

Host : So Miss what-ever-country, what do you want in this world?

Answer: World peace...*prissy glued-on smile*

*Bet you they are all dreaming of the crown upon their heads.


Anyway moving on, I can safely bet maybe, just maybe that is exactly what mostly comes to mind.
Peace.. inner peace.. serenity per say. Balance. What is peace really? Is it all the above?
Is it what a wise and nomad man achieves if he decides to take up a religious lifestyle or live on the land? Is it one feels when one goes into deep slumber after a long tiring day?
Questions, questions; what do they all mean?
Now if we were to look into the dictionary or an encyclopedia, tons of definitions could be found. Yet what is peace? Truly how can one be at peace with him or herself inside and out?

Today the world promises tons of opportunities? All in the sense of assisting man grant the most basic of needs; our subconscious wants for inner peace. Materialistic objects are promised and many methods or ways pop out of the blue. ( For example, take this and you will get high or have you tried this? It might make you famous) Let us all face the cold hard truth, man are selfish in nature. However if a person realises this and choose not to fall prey to such a trait, it will just mean the said person has his or her priorities straight.
Peace... It is how you look at it. And honestly does the world not promise you everything at every waking moment. Yet what is it does the world promise? Peace for the moment or a moment quench of our wants and desires. Truthfully are we strong enough to not be tempted?

I hope so.....oo a car..

And what do we have here?

Confusion... To do what I want to do and what I need to do. A sane person, no strike that. An intelligent person would do what he or she has to. Yet, that is sometimes not the case is it?

After all, we are but only human and being human, we make mistakes. Most of the time our mistakes are caused by groundless reasoning that somehow manages to make sense when we were searching for lame excuses to do what we did. And most of the time the same excuses or said loopholes we searched for, are unable to justify what we did.
Let me put this in simpler English... We are dolts when it comes to matters of the heart. (And I am not referring to love.) Matters of desire, of our wants and of what we want to do oft control our actions more that our brains. Of course if non of the above is understood than dolt, you require more English classes.

So, what do we do when we fall to such deeds per say?
Well, some oft just sit by a corner and pretend all is well while twiddling their thumbs. Others go into a guilt mode and do what was required of them in the first place and do a huge list of self inflecting penance. While the rest of humanity resort to just allow the wimps of the heart and soul take them where they wish. The modern day equivalent of yesterday's epicurean.
Then again these said modern epicureans are what they are, living only for the moment despite all consequences.

So, do we allow this to cloud our judgement and allow society's epicurean rules which govern all, to destroy however small the guilt? In other words, do we just allow ourselves to live as the rest of the world does? Cheating, blackmailing corrupting and etc... Do we inflict such great virtues into our characters' like the great tyrants before us? All done to carry out the means where, in this case is our wants.

Well, it is up to us is it not? After all, men has always had free will.

Safety!!

Hark!! Beware! there is an adversary we must group to defeat. What is this enemy?
It is a common cause. It is the deadly kiss of death. Karyn!! Stop hugging me! yes this message is for you and a number few out there..Bah
I need space...as in box space. Thou shall not come within a foot near me..

An occasional hug will do. Not a long suffocating one which I may add, makes me loose feeling to me arms.

And no poking either. (extremely ticklish)

Update...

Last week...

Slept and slept and slept.
oh, and art and camp.

Today??

School.... I was packed and all ready to go off. Almost missed the bus. Thanked the lucky stars I did not. However while sitting on the bus, I realised my art file was not with me. I LEFT IT AT HOME!!

And so I started walking back home. Note; I had already arrived to school.

So I walked and I walked and I found a cab. Thank heavens and phew, it drove me home and back to school in record time. How much??? 3.70 ringgit.
Not that bad. I just have to litterally pay for my mistake. No one's fault but my own.
And that was my morning and my first day of school....




row, row, row, the boat.

So.....

Wow..has it been that long really?

What date is it anyway? Just last week was the start of the school hols and the sweet taste of freedom. Now it is almost over. Sigh.
Always knew it was too good to be true. Soon the days of sleeping and staying up late will be gone. Goodbye joys of long hours of net surfing.

Hey, we still have the weekend.
Ahh...weekends. All probably filled with homework and studying and assignments.
Goodness, I am starting to sound morbid. Yet unfortunately,(as much as I hate to say this) this time next year, we would all be longing for the school days. We as in seniors of course (man, we are old).

And to think, it was just years ago when most of us were all tiny and all innocent. Hah, we are definitely not as oblivious as before. Oh boy, I can hear the world trembling with fear. As this time next year, the whole bunch of us will be legal.

Time and Time again

I have been walking by the same street each day to go home. And I realised that if I calculated half the memories or times I have spent walking or even standing at that same street, it would actually almost be more than half my lifetime or more. Honestly, it makes one wonder what happened during those moments or what was going through my mind during one of my walks.


To be truthful, sometimes nothing goes through my mind except for thoughts of the day or the moments that just recently passed or my hopes and etc. And it was just an everyday ordinary day when it struck me that soon I might actually not be able to take this same route home. This street is where I had constantly fallen down on a couple of times, ran on to catch the bus, or used to head to class or school when I actually do miss the bus. It is the same street where I ride my bike or my dad's car as we head home or some other destination.


I might not be using it any more. And that possibility is coming ever so clear each day. The road to primary school, the staircase I used to climb the steps. I no longer walk that road. It has passed. And is it no wonder that I am finally coming to terms with this?


Who knows what the future might bring. Possibilities are everywhere and it makes one wonder and look at everything with awe. To think that yesterday was but only years ago and tomorrow is but only seconds or minutes away. Quick is time. The question is what do we do with the time in our hands?


For me, I rather make something happen and live all the way. As in a blink of a second everything could change.
