The clock reads 5.33am and my body refuses the to be lull into the dark embrace of sleep. Guess is the 2 cups of tea I had during supper just now. As it is the case for me, when I am unable to sleep, my mind will just be on auto pilot as I ponder over my thoughts and ideas. Which brings me here to blog about some of the going on in my head =D

I have often been describe as laid-back, relaxed or happy go lucky by those who are more kind, and have been called a slacker, aimless idler among many others by those who are less kind. All are true as I slowly amble through the day. Here is why I do so, in my eyes, life is a long journey. Too often, I feel that we are blinded by where we want to go that we forget to take care of ourselves as we get there.

You can set many goals in life, which are akin to destinations during your journey through life. You rushed through life as you struggle to reach your destinations as quickly as possible. In your single-minded pursuit, you will tend to lose sight of the scenery along the way. When you reach your destination, there is every chance that you may not like the destination where you are at.

Personally, I would rather travel at a steady pace. Fast enough to reach my destination in good time, yet slow enough to enjoy the sights and sounds along the way. That way when you realize your desired destination ain't that great. You could still take away the sights and sounds of the journey.

Everything will come, in good time, with a little luck and hard work. I would place more emphasis on the "good", rather than the "time". =D

Rule of 4 vs Red Mist

Once again a red mist descends upon me, as a result I pissed of someone close. A minor scuffle it was this time compared with the usual full blown war that this red mist bring about. Nevertheless this time around, this may have rather long lasting implications if I am not too careful.

Well I thought that this was no longer a problem anymore!! My temper is usually in check at all times and seldom is anyone able to get under my skin. I think most people can vouch for that, but why is it only with kin that the fuse runs short. Tremendously short.. Well gotta implement a self checking system within myself!! Rule of 4 i call it =P haha

Basically, if anyone pissed me off or i few super angry, count to 4 first than cool down. Next than think of a suitable response, if possible try NOT to response and just brush it aside as I usually do. Well as everyone know, there are no prizes for being nice, so give the offender 4 chances b4 i explode. Warn them of the impending eruption after the 4th time that they piss me off still, give them hell...

Hopefully this will help controlling my sometimes short temper =P

Cheers~

A Social Experiment. (spoilers!! )

Finally watched the dark knight on Thursday, well the movie is really thought provoking i must say. All the good reviews were well deserved and i enjoyed it alot!! =D A big thank you to shean for the good company to watch the movie =D

Hmm.. the memories of the movie is still played out vividly in my mind, but one particular scene left a very strong impression in my mind. The scene goes like this, the joker has planted bombs on 2 ferries, one filled with convicts, the other filled with with civilians. Each ferry had the detonator to the other ferries bombs, and the occupants have to make a decision. Either blow up the other ferry or do nothing and let the other ferry blow you up, and just for fun, the joker imposes a deadline for them to make a decision. If neither ferries goes up in smoke by the deadline, both ferries will go up in smoke. As insurance, if anyone leaves the ferry, both ferries will be blown up as well.

Well interesting experiment, even if its a bit brutal. What would you do if you will place in this situtation. Would you blow up the other ferry?? Will you wait to be safe?? What would you do?? What is the "right" decision?? Is there a right decision....

Cheers~ winkz*
