Ok ok,

In a couple of hours, we’ll all be done with 2008. It has been anything but a memorable year, with inane price hikes and a preposterous explosion of inflation. In short, this year has been a pain in the donkey.

In the real world, everyone … and their grandmother is struggling to deal with the soaring inflation. Just about the only people who have something to smile about are the Jedi masters who are employing their cheap mind tricks on us.

Meanwhile, the bread and butter issues remain unanswered. It is sort of having a 200Kg gay gorilla sitting in your living room making lewd gestures at you that everyone sees but no one wants to talk about. It’s there, but all the Jedi circle is seemingly oblivious to it. I shudder to think what is to become of us.

I pity those who actually voted in favour of the Jedi counsel. I guess you must be feeling pretty foolish by now. But on the other hand, even the smartest and most clairvoyant of us did not expect this.

Some Highlights:

We won Pedra Branca. We lost more of our money.

We lost the Suzuki Cup. We lost more of our money.

We had F1. We lost more of our money.

We stopped the Singapore Flyer. We lost more of our money.

We. We lost more of our money.

e. We lost more of our money.

. We lost more of our money.

Can’t wait to see what 2009 brings to the forsaken red dot.

Cheers

Ok ok,

People naturally assume others at face value. I am sure I’ve been assumed too many times. I rarely talk about my life to strangers because its been the confusing roller coaster that life is bound to offer. I think I’m done living to eradicate assumptions that strangers have about me.

I’m hesitant to divulge my experiences any longer because I’ve learned that face value is often the only value you receive. A label, whether it be a career title or clothing logo, is an instant definition, and few are bound to go deeper to learn the intricacies a person holds. I would beseech people to judge me right from the inside. Don’t put your labels on me, because if you look beyond my cover, You’ll discover there’s so much more to me.

I’ll have to try to cope with the fact that I’m a stranger within myself while I set sail on a journey to find something beneath the surface. It’s something that has to be done alone I guess. It was easier before when I had somewhat of a support system, but these days there is none. I cut the rope and let the boat float out to sea to be tossed in the waves and lost in places uncharted.

Floating in my silent abyss, Waves overcome and some waves missed. I choke and cough words iodized. Still yet, I breath to no surprise, Time slowly passes, recession much deeper. I swim when I can then wade for a breather. A last hope, a prayer my reef poses danger. Unannounced is a touch by an unseen stranger, out in the dark.

All things move towards their end. Thoughts drifting back to those shapes that stalk through dreams. A great bright white light that is everything and nothing at the same time. Thoughts, which race the electrical super-highways of your mind so fast, that you cannot catch them, never to breathe them, unable to live them. I hate the feeling of desiring something that can’t be attained. I believe i will not get my desired today.

At the end of the day, most people will be surprised to learn how little they know of people around them. We assume more than we are ever willing to probe. In the end, all we do is just dance around, with a stranger, in the dark.

I shall stop now.

Cheers
