A great day to be alive

Another year has pass for all of us. This year I have learned a lot about myself, my limitations and potential but basically my limitations.

This year ended in with a lost of many lives due to a natural disaster. I read many messages saying how much we the human race has forgotten, how god is punishing us for whatever our sins. To me there isn’t a ‘spiritual’ or godly explanation for how or why it happened. It just did like everything else. Just the same as the many decision I or we make this everyday, wise and unwise it just happens. We can only lick our wounds and recovered from this and whatever tragedy that befall us.

I feel there is still a glimmer of hope but still being cynical at the same time that the human race has reach stage in their psychological development to say ‘Hey the world is not about me, me and me’. Bravo to the immediate aid, generous donations, (not include those who gave trophies, torn bras etc. oh how thoughtful some people can be) the US 4 bill promised (which I doubt will be either not be fulfilled if not mismanaged). Ironically I can see in the local papers everyday people posing with HUGE mock cheques. We still have a long way to go. I still have a long long way to go.

Did I mention I took a holiday in Florida visiting Disney World. I came back not with not just a bunch of souvenirs but also a different perspective and a clear picture of what I want. Yeah who woulda expect you could get all that from visiting the local hero Mickey mouse. After some soul searching I realised how lucky I am and how many people would like to be in my shoes (well except my love life unless you like being single).

Last year I learnt about the hardships of just being alive and the complexities of our society does not make it easier which got me so down emotionally that I neglected so many things, but that’s another story. So this year after recovering some “bear necessities”, I made a wish upon a star hoping they would all come true. I can’t tell u what I wish for cant I or I’ll jinx it.

Ciao for now people. Happy New Year! (Being Chinese I celebrate it twice a year, more if you’re a Malaysian. That’s how lucky I am)
