"Life is just so unpredictable"

Either I'm observant when it comes to MSN nicks, or I've a perchant for "borrowing" their nicks to blog. Whatever the case, the multitude of events in the year can be best summed up by Chee Min's too-the-point nick. Whatever the case, I presume I'll not get quoted for quoting MSN nicks this time round since (1) Chee Min doesn't know of the existence of this blog (2) there are no "interesting" photographs of a certain subject to make this entry of any interest.

When it comes to opinions, who's to say who's right and who's wrong? You may say that your actions are for the future of your country, but seriously, is it worthwhile to get your way at the expense of your country's economy? Now that hundreds of tourists are stranded in your country, do you seriously think they'll be back anytime in the near future? Who are you kidding?

Or how you're waging war for ... (did you even mention what you were fighting for?)? How is your purported cause more important than the other lives that were lost? And what did you achieve? Because of your purported importance, you've laid to rest so many hopes and dreams of others, including your own. How worth it is it?

Not that I knew anyone who's a victim of these major events in Asia. Yet, these events so close to home cannot help but make me wonder if power, rather than just money is the root of all evils.

The vulnerability of life should, by right, make us treasure what we have even more. Yet, the amazing thing about life is that it's way easier said than done. I, for one, do admit that despite Meisi and Guohui, I still don't make it a point to meet up with my dearer friends as often as I should. Example (1) Lijia's birthday's been over for more than a week, and I've still not scheduled a long overdue meetup. (Deserves 1 slap) Example (2) the once a year meet-up with Ciyao still hasn't materialised. (Deserves another slap) Example (3) When I bumped into Tony and Vivian (ok, not a terrific example, since I'm not that close to them, esp Vivian in the first place) during lunch today, I was mildly stunned to see Vivian pretty heavily pregnant. That goes to show how long since I've last kept in touch with them.

Anyway, on the bright side, it doesn't necessary mean that not keeping in touch means you'll totally not hear/see news about people. Just a moment ago, I did a double take when reading an article on some suit that a Singaporean singer is taking up. A senior counsel and another lawyer James Low. James Low?????? Wait a minute, the senior counsel should be from Drew & Napier, meaning James Low = James Low Yunhui? Haha.. Haven't heard of that name in a really long while. Seriously, I wonder how he's doing now...

PS: I'm still undecided whether to see a doctor about my left eye, despite the affirmative views from Weiguang, Weiling, Cailing. Hopefully it'll disappear by itself tomorrow. *crosses fingers*
