glimpse into the past

I was re-reading some of the stuff I posted last year, & couldn't help a chuckle at these:

Taken from BRW investment guide:

- Is the share market gambling?
All gambling involves “risk”. The share market involves risk, so it must gambling?
Sounds logical? No. This has the same logic structure: All gorillas breathe. John
Howard breathes, so he must be a gorilla...

- Among the victims of the SARS outbreak is Hong Kong's new tourism slogan:Hong Kong will take your breath away . In light of the outbreak, authorities have decided to stop using that advertising slogan.

- Three blondes are walking through a jungle when they come up to some tracks.

First blonde says - 'They're deer tracks'

Second blonde says - 'No they're not. Clearly they're too big to be deer tracks. They're bear tracks.

Third one goes - 'Oh shut it you two, they're moose tra...'

And then a train hits them

=)

In other news, I just found out how amazing internet is! I can't believe people are looking at this blog because of some of the ridiculous stuff I wrote in the past, and it is related to their google search! Haha these ppl must be wondering 'what the ???' .... & oh yeah I've got visitors from Iceland & Norway! Just in case you guys stumble upon this blog again in your random google search, hello and know that I'm a big fan of Ole Gunnar Solksjaer (Go Man Utd & ARSENAL)!! (Sorry I don't know any famous Iceland football players =p )

It's too late....

I'm really confused right now......

I thought of taking it back, but each time I'm reminded of the 'betrayal', I can't seem to overcome it....

Is it better to forgive & forget, or just to remain passive??

Is it too late, or is it still salvageable?

On facebook

Long, long time ago, boy heard of this new networking site called facebook from a friend, who insisted it deserved to be crowned 'Web Invention of the Year'. Boy thought it was just another copycat Friendster website, so he didn't bother with it. After all, boy's friendster account has been left sitting there for months, & there was not even a slight urge to update it, so why waste time on creating another somewhere else??

Boy continued to receive invitations to join facebook, u know, those messages that ppl send out to their contacts in order to add them straight to the friends' list initially. That elicited zero response, until recently when boy received the request once again from a long-lost friend, & this time he was persuaded. Boy signed up, expecting another Friendster interface, & he was shocked to see how different it was from those sites back then! It must have been more than a year since he touched his Friendster account, & although it might be different now, it can't be better than what facebook is offering!

Boy has been pretty much staring at the computer screen for the past few hours, trying to understand the mechanism behind facebook ie. how to send prezzies, etc etc. What amazes boy further is the fact that everything is so user-friendly, with drag columns & self-explanatory functions, although there is a confusing array of features waiting to be explored. That said, boy finally understands a report that he read a few weeks ago on how facebook has cost businesses some $5 billion in lost productivity!

Boy is wondering when the novelty will wear off, but judging by the time he spent on it today, it isn't likely to come anytime soon =)

Had a very interesting experience yesterday. This happened when I was in the midst of a badminton game. Suddenly everything just went quiet, & I felt I was barely in control of my own actions. Took so much effort just to finish the game coz it was as if I was being tied to a 10kg weight on each limb. Didn't have the energy to carry on playing after that, so I went back early. The weight has since been lifted off, but the serenity still continued.

It was the same path that I took to get home everytime, with the chatters of passerby and loud honking of the buses/cars filling the air. It was all calm yesterday, as if there was only me, & me alone in the busy street. It wasn't entirely an out of body experience (actually I wouldn't know coz I haven't experienced that before, but I read somewhere that you could actually see your physical body when that happens..) but it would be something close. I think it was just the tiredness for not being able to sleep well in the past 2 weeks, & the accumulation of the 'debt' that I owe to my body =( Last night was the best sleep I've had in a while though, so that was definitely a blessing in disguise =) Can't describe how energized I was feeling this morning, & how good it felt not to wake up with a headache in the morning!

Sorted out my thoughts.... It is definitely time to say goodbye...
