As I am typing these words, an elderly aunt out there is lying on her deathbed, gasping for air. An intestinal failure. Food intake is futile. Her willpower is not enough to overcome the iminent malnutrition and the increasing piercing pain within her abdomen. Deficiency in salt seem to have taken a toll on her breathing. News has spread and relatives flock to catch the final few glimpses of a dear friend, while some may not be able to see her ever again.
It was just six months ago that a healthy strong lady strides into the hospital with her daughter with complaints of abdominal pain. Doctors could not do anything to save it. And it all just went down hill. Both psychologically and physically. And the bottom of the valley looms...
...
A stout young man walks into the consultation office, enthusiastically demanding for a Master of Business Administration. He looks freshly graduated from a high profile university. An ambitious little guy I must say. His ideas and dreams were outrageous to the experienced and unthinkable to the inexperienced. He questioned about the density of the timetabling during his course. Weirdly enough, his high ambitions wasn't followed by his ego. He was full of plans to improve his weaknesses. He planned to join public speaking clubs, social groups and workshops. Gah why am I even paying attention. Gotta fill this form for him.
"Oh sir! One more thing. You need to do a full medical checkup. It is compulsory for the course"
April. Every year people come and go through the application office twice a year. Once for the initial application. Another time for the submission of the medical exam. Well I'll just slot his application form behind the one from the frail looking guy that just came in before him. That thin guy really creeped me out. Looked like a drug addict.
.
Well lookie lookie. Frail guy passed the checkup. Well good luck to him. That leave... the two guys, and the ambitious guy. Maybe gonna call him out for tea some time. I got the feeling he's gonna make it big.
.
The stout ambitious dude appeared all over the august 1st newspaper! The English paper and the Chinese paper. The Chinese one had a larger blow up of his face. It was the obituaries.
...
Life's Brief Candle
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
~Shakespeare
Amongst the billions of people that live in this world, one death may seem insignificant to the population. But it sure as hell means a damn lot for the people close to them.
...
WTF AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?!?!?!?!
This, is what death of a close relative does to you. The younger, the more impact.
...
Imagine a few decades ago, if we put our parents in those era. They wouldn't have survived. High blood pressure may seem to be meaningless now, but if we were to rewind technology by a few decades, our parents may be bursting an artery or two in the head once in a while. Appendicitis patients would have just disappeared from their friends and family with great pain. Now, the operation has a near perfect successful rate. And we are still being taught by our father's and grandfather's philosophies. They have gone through eras where people barely live past 60 and opportunities were rare. Rebelious as I may sound, but we are living in an exponential world. Old philosophies don't hold me no more. I'm out alone finding out my own perfect philosophy of life. Then have a child, then impart my way of life to him and my legacy continues.
Oh wait, doesn't seem to work that way. Shucks.
...
We will soon be immortal. Every single ailmest and disease will be cureable, or if otherwise, we can be fit with articial organs to replace our mortal ones. The Transhuman world, people call it. People no longer live till 100 as per now. It's pass that. 200. Maybe 500. Maybe infinite. It's just mind boggling just to imagine what the world would be like. Democracy will crash because essentially the ball game from one court to another will stabilize to a few strong and charismatic candidates. Strong and charismatic? Am I missing something? Wait, naturally strong or artificially strong? Genetics will be the number 1 problem solving and problem inducing factor in the world. World of superhumans. World of super good-looking human. World of super viruses. Did someone say ethics? "Dude that was so 300 years ago man. Let's go alter our faces in that face parlour down the road and buy us some vampire wings. Feel like flying today."
FUUUUUUUUU~~~~~~~~~
...
Can people please stop. Nah, people can't stop. It's just human to keep reinventing and improving ourselves. Until to the point that it is too late and our inventions become beyond us and just consume us. We are gonna be engulfed by our own instincts to survive. Boiling frogs in cold water. And with the lid on. We're doomed.
...
I just saw a ghost flew past on top of me. Not the first time I've seen that.
...
And again. Goddamn moth. *crushes to death*
Without death, life would be meaningless anyway.

tl;dr on Life and Death
Monday, November 24, 2008
hāp'ē bûrth'dā' !!!!!1111oneoneeleven
If you feel it's tl;dr, then just listen to the song and drop me a wish thanks ^___^
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Happy Birthday!
*showers self with Endearmints*
Birthday's are the most fun things ever.
Everyone gathers and have a big bash.
Birthday song.
Gifts and messages and wishes.
A big fruit or chocolate cake for everyone.
Then the birthday boy gets caked with cake (duh) and whatever toppings on it.
Then everyone rushes in and heaves the guy into the pool with a SPLASH.
(size of splash α weight of person)
Other people may get sabotaged along, especially those who are small and easy to be picked up
XD
Then the ritual of banging the tree the number of times equal to your age... That is so much fun.
At least from the observer's point of view that is XD
To top that up, there are photos and videos of the whole process to keep it memorable.
Yea.
So much fun.
Now it's my turn! =D
....
Guess it's never my turn. I'm just born too late.
But it's been this way all along. ^____^
I'll just hug my Endearmints and go to sleep.
With this song playing in my ears:
It tells of a lonely guy who does not fit in well with society. He's just hanging around observing instead of participating in his society. But then he finds a person he loves on his birthday and his birthday wish is to change and hang out with his crush.
Sounds familiar eh...
Translation of song:
Monday, I'm still lying in bed
Tuesday, yep that's right
I am in a sleep colder than she is cold
Wake me up shockingly please
I am not sufficiently shocked yet
Wednesday, I don't want to go to school
Thursday, but even so I still have to go
A day is not to be spent lazing around
Even if I don't know what's going on, let's run around and see
It's my birthday, just me and my birthday
My heart is beating fast, I might change in a second
I don't know about you, but if I were to be reborn
I would still run to you
Friday, can't find my motivation
Saturday, the day that all students wait for
It's supposed to be Saturday Night Fever
But I have nowhere to go
It's my birthday, just me and my birthday
My heart is beating fast, I might change in a second
I don't know about you, but if I were to be reborn
I would still run to you
Today is a sweet day with you, please don't stand me up
It's my birthday, the sweet day with you
Our first day
Don't put my hand next to you
I love you, birthday,
it started with a first day
My heart is beating so fast, I might change in a second
Although you don't know it, I am spending the whole day with you, only today
Even if you don't know it, I am spending the whole of today, just today, with you
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know it's bad translation but that's all I've got....
Again, happy birthday to myself ^____^

dī'ĭng mō'mənts
I've suddenly gained an interest on chaotic and creepy stuff.
This extremely creepy little puzzle game caught my attention.
The Walls - Part One
The Walls - Part Two
Note: Do not play in dark, night, or alone. Not for the faint hearted.
Played it yesterday at around midnight, with no lights, and everyone sleeping, and these scared the shit out of me.
Maddddnessssss.........
Got me inspired to make a wallpaper. Took a random pic of a gal from /b/ (the craziest place on the net).
It was firstly meant to be some goth pic. Coloured the hair and lips and mascara etc.
Then it degenerated into some killer chic pic. Got a pic of someone holding and gun and placed it there.
Then further degenerated into gore. Added some blood splatters.
Then into death. Blurred and narrowing vision. Flash of white light.
x___X
It's called "Dying Moments"
Don't worry. I'm mentally perfectly fine ^___^ Or am I? Heh o_o;
No I don't need counseling. o__o;

L02T
I've noticed quite a few people have expressed their curiosity on how "L02T" came about. Now I shall explain with greater detail:
Sunday, September 28, 2008
fôr'myə-lə wŭn: sĭng'gə-pôr' jē pē
26th - 28th September 2008
The first ever night city race.
In Singapore.
Which means people like me get to watch F1, close up, for FREE.
First I send my henchmen to the racing ground on Wednesday to scour for spots to watch the race.
Then on Friday, they are again sent for the F1 practice round to test for crowd size and plan out the route and timing for Saturday. (While I was sleeping XD)
Saturday. Qualifying round. Well, not really. Curfew was at 10:30pm so qualifying was out of the question. But we managed to catch 1 hour of practice =D 7pm to 8pm.
It was pure AWESOMENESS.
-L02T- Godlike says:And then we went on calling each other "Singaporean" and "Canadian" and then somehow we ended up arguing whether the Superleggera is a Gallardo or a Murcielago (in which, I won cuz it's the Gallardo AHAHAHAHA XP)
Bahaha I watched F1 live..... For free. In Singapore. Okay since you're away... I'll go bathe first.....
G@Br1eL-7- says:
CB... can watch F1 live
CBCBCBCBCBCBCBCBCBCBCBCBCBCBCBCBCB
-L02T- Godlike says:

-L02T-Godlike says:
Hahaha sucker.
Oh I didn't pay for any ticket..
And I didn't have any ticket or any pass...
G@Br1eL-7- says:
LoL... you go where watch oh lol
-L02T- Godlike says:
You know... Singapore GP is a city circuit.... there are LOTSA buildings around...
G@Br1eL-7- says:
I KNOW cb...
- L02T-Godlike says:
Though the marshalls were thorough in keeping certain spots away from fan boys like us....
But they are not as thorough as WE ARE.
Outsmarted them.
G@Br1eL-7- says:
LoL
-L02T-Godlike says:
BAHAHAHA
And we were actually at a spot that's better than some of the spots people pay 200SGD to sit at.
It's awesome man.
I saw a Toyota crash. In front of my eyes.
Saw cars zooming by....... Hamilton..... Raikonnen.... Massa...
Damn loud man.
And when they were at the longest stretch.... I could see the yellow sparks coming from the back of the car.....
As the low F1 Car scrapes the floor....
At 300 kph....
With ear splitting engines revving...
It's so freaking loud .... that when I'm back in hostel..... a few KM away from the track... I still can hear the cars zooming past....
PURE AWESOMENESS MAN.
*poke*
G@Br1eL-7- says: poke poke apa
-L02T-Godlike says:
XD You can watch Canadian GP....
But too bad.... no building to find loop holes.....
G@Br1eL-7- says:
CB la lu >.<
-L02T-Godlike says:

Pure Awesomeness...
