Take heart, take flight

I don't think one can remain static in one phase for too long. Boredom sets in and it feels like one's been painted into a dead corner.

Once in a while, it would be nice to see how the world is on the outside. To look outward to know that one does indeed live in utopia.

I need a breather from perth.

Toodles, I'm off to cam ... booo ... dee .... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Usher in the new year pls!!!

Next month marks the decade that I have been here in Perth. A decade ..... sounds really long, but feels just like yesterday. Perth is also the place that I have taken residence for the longest time. 8 years in KL, 4 years in a puny town in Sabah, 6 years in another town in Sabah, 10 years here. Where next??

Sure, I have had my gripes with life here. But seriously, I cannot fathom living elsewhere now.

I wished that it wasn't so hot here ..... and I saw on the news the other half of the globe being snowed in .... ahem no thanks.

I wished that there are no traffic jams here ........ and I saw Bangkok ....... enough to make me shuddup.

I wished that ppl don't drive like a lunatic ........ but who doesn't now?

Etc etc etc ..... I think you get the idea.

Until the day Utopia is created, I think this is where I will call home for the time being.

I like kids (who I can hand back to their parents afterwards)

" Everyone should have kids", declared my friend.

Short of sputtering my food, I asked for an explanation.

" It is biblical, and why not?", she replied. And she continued on to describe how some women are unwilling to have children because they don't want their bodies to go out of shape and considers it unreasonable.

" But some ppl are just not meant to have kids. Isn't it better that they don't have kids if they don't have the intention (example as above)?", I shot back.

Obviously saying that is not going to work on a persistent mum to be. Her stance remains.

Just for the record, I am not a kid hater, but I am more inclined towards the "no kids" camp. Till this day, I'm still baffled by how ppl can have one kid after another and how they can adore a kid who is kicking and screaming till they are red in the face.

Just wait till another few more years when they grow up. That's when they will treat going home as a monthly if not yearly pilgrimage. Calling their parents when they have done something wrong and needs to be rescued/ spent their whole inheritance. I kid you not, that this may happen even when your child is well into their second decade of being born.

Having a kid maybe the most expensive investment one can ever make....... and not guaranteed with returns. You will still have to live with it when they treat outsiders better than they do the family. Run to their friends instead of you. Will you swallow your disappointment and move on or wish that you didn't give birth to one in the first place?

Parenthood is one tough journey. I really can't think of one good reason that everyone should be one, just like how some are pet owners while others are not. Think really carefully before you have kids, and when you do have them, there is no turning back!!

It's the christmas rush. I think I have seen enough annoying kiddies today. Santa pls take them away :p

The arrival of the all important piece of "paper"

They have finally unleashed us to the unsuspecting world!!! Hur hur!!!!

What kind of mixed up world is this??

You can rub your eyes a thousand times, and I can tell you that your eyes ain't fooling you. She is indeed a pastor's wife. Or should I say a pastor's wife indeed???!!!!!

Strange thing is that the husband supports and even defends her. How does a pastor do that??

Watching the mtv, I was kinda in disbelief.

Years ago when she was here in Perth as part of a mega out reach event for the Asian Churches Network, I already had my reservations about her. I remember I even had a disagreement with a leader of mine with regards to my unwillingness to follow through instructions as a cell leader to get everyone excited about the event. I just could not act nor appear supportive. " She is just trying to be relevant to today's young ppl", someone explained to me.

Well, all of that should be buried in the past. Truth is, I never liked her, never will like her.

That is the problem with christians nowadays. They can have everything and anything under the sky to justify why they are what they are doing. Myself included. But is it justifiable in god's eyes?? I think we have forgotten the sovereignity and holiness of the god we serve. He did not send lightning to strike me now, but that doesn't mean that I can escape from the truth that I have used my own excuse to serve my own purpose.

The great escape artist

Oi cheeky bugger! Your home is next door lar ......

He is Houdini wannabe, king of the street -_-'''

I just hope that he doesn't get himself hurt. The owners should dragged to RSPCA!!

When you've grown wings to fly, don't forget who gave it to you

I watched the whole saga unfold, spanning over months and months.

I have a few thoughts. One, idiocracy can ruin one's life, especially when the person is both ignorant and arrogant, thinking that it is other's fault. Two, LOVE is really blind. Three, 20 over years of relationship can't beat a 2 year relationship (sad but true).

Girl, you think you can outsmart others by hiding in your hidey hole. One day, I assure you, your real ugly face will be exposed.

Boy, you think what you have in your hands is a priceless gem. One day, you will discover it is a vial of poison, a pile of dung.

I remember the story of Icarus of the greek mythology. You think you are soaring high, but a fall may be the very thing that awaits you.
