Thanks
I give thanks
Not only for
What I have
But also for
What I will
Soon come
To find.

I give thanks
For trials
And tribulations
That have to
Be overcome.

I give thanks
For the test
That must
Be passed.

I give thanks
For happiness
And pain.
No matter the
Emotion - I
Give thanks
Just the same.

more than a week without blogging. yes, this blog is stagnating. allow me to revive it.

i've been busy over the past week mainly mugging. except for wednesday, saturday and sunday. so 4 out of 7 days. not too bad. haha.

i've sworn off mugging at the airport. which is sad, since just the previous post (or a few posts ago) i enthused about how the airport was my traditionally mugging ground. well, i have endured being thrown out of a few fast food establishments before, which were justified, since the restaurants were quite full. but in three visits to the airport, i was asked to leave twice, even when the place was relatively empty. i guess i shall just not go there and not spend my money on McNuggets, Cokes, or Popeye's anymore. their loss.

i still have not moved into 'fifth gear' in terms of mugging. im still quite passive, lacking any motivation whatsoever. i guess it cant be compared to o level mugging, of which i still retain vivid memories. there is no anxiety that i will fail, no stress about the future, just a regular test that i have to take, a mere 'formality' before moving on to the long-awaited holidays. of course, i know the gravity of this promos, in theory. in practice, it hasnt got into my head. perhaps the panic will set in during the study break next week. by then, it would be too late already. nevertheless, i am determined i will do well this time around, though i do believe whatever results i will eventually be getting will be better next year.

i dont know who felt the earthquake tremors yesterday. i guess we singaporeans have no right to use the term 'earthquake'. since what we experienced, though relatively strong, were tremors, not a full blown earthquake. nevertheless, those five minutes were the longest tremors i have ever felt. and the building was literally shaking, the hanging lamp above the dining table and the hanger on the window grill were oscillating. it was quite a harrowing experience. we were prepared to run downstairs before the tremors stopped. although im sure what we experienced was probably 0.2 on the Ritcher Scale, i am still quite alarmed by the incident.

while singaporeans nationwide were panicking and running out of their homes and offices, some even crying (as was at least one of my neighbours), i shudder to think what the indonesians at the epicentre of the earthquake felt. reportedly, buildings toppled, tsunami warnings were issued and people died. to be honest, i was sorely disappointed at the way some of my fellow singaporeans reacted last night. (some shouting, some crying...) a little shake like this and we get all paranoid and freaked out. what will happen if there was a real earthquake, or tsunami, or God forbid, a terrorist attack or a war? Will the Singaporean be able to handle it. after last night, i personally didnt think we could remain calm in any of the above situations. nevertheless, you cant test real gold unless you burn it. so i suppose the litmus test will come when a crisis really strikes, which hopefully never happens.

ok, gtg. i wanted to print some stuff from raffles connect. but the printer usb cable broke. crap...
