a green eye?
suddenly.. i saw this clip.
its happening and its getting bigger. no doubt that most of us already know about this and it has been informed for the longest time. school children knows about it and adults talk about it. but what is there to be done? what is there to be done about global warming?
as of today:
malaysia : last year, flood striked the nothern of malaysia but the situation was moderate. this year, the flood has strike in johor and has left thousands homeless and 18 death. forecast says that the weather are begining to change for the better. lets just pray that the weather does but if it doesnt, i dont know how many ppl can continue to stay there.
oklahoma : freezing winter storms across the central U.S. plains killed at least 23 people in Oklahoma and snarled transportation across the country's midsection on Wednesday, officials said. read more.
taiwan : underwater earthquake hit and the internet connection was disrupted for almost the whole asia pacific. altho [ thank God ] there wasnt a tsunami like what happened 2 years [ or is 3 ] ago, there was chances it could have happened.
philippines : flood and landslide has hit there and has left many homeless and well, 23 death.
and many more here..
i dont know about the rest of you.. but i'm speechless. sad. scared. many times we would probably say..
left brain : eh.. you saw know about global warming ar.. more serious la
right brain : wahh.. so concern. so greenie. go do something la
left brain : our earth mar, of cuz must concern. if not we die early leh.
right brain : okie lor.. you go do something la
left brain :do what leh? donno la..
right brain : donno then how to do? then how? aiyoh.. come la. we go drink teh tarik first la.. coffee better la.
thats a typical conversation that we would probably have or at least the thought. i have had that thought before. but somehow now i'm a lil more scared.
well, i'm confused now. we are responsible for whats happening, wouldnt you say? but at the same time, the world is developing. new technology and infrastructure taking over. world's population is increasing.
but what can we really do..? for real.. enough about talking and discussing about it and no action.. but now to really do it. to have an action for what we say.
is there really something we can do now..?
[ sorry if it sounded very 'greenie' or factual. but its something i felt when watching it and pondering abt it ]

randomness of random
had the best experience in a recent retreat. its a big exposure and eye opener. well, partially during the night cuz i was extremely sleepy. however, learned alot.
been waking up really early these days.. but still dont seem to be able to have enough time to relax before leaving home. and somehow still reach work a lil late.
there's no reason for anything that happens. must there be a reason for everything? if there is.. explain why am i always caught in a jam only to find out there's really no accident or anything after a stretch.
i need sleep.. i need sleep.. i need sleep... badly. listening to jazz or R&B during working hours is not a wise thing to do.
ah.. a lil better already.. as for now.. :) hmm.. now i think i really need to learn how to edit my pictures..

something new
been trying to change my blog banner for the longest time.. and finally..! hahaha.. but its a bit small.. not wide enough.. anyone can help..?!
oh.. what you all think abt it..? still in the midst of learning and editing it.. :)
oh well, been playing with Serif PhotoPlus - something i normally use in my documentations but i didnt realise it can work like Adobe Photoshop.. and the best part is.. i didnt realise, all these years.. i actually have Adobe Photoshop in my other notebook. sigh! oh well, now something for me to learn.
but i guess, things like these do happen. something new happens. something we didnt realise was infront of us all these time. something that we can deeply appreciate now. all about timing? maybe.. well, i've been experiencing alot of this 'new findings' and its been going well.
change is good - like how pastor would have said it a hundred of times. it is a challenge to look at the new and to accept it. but it is possible. [ altho i still think the old menu at food foundry is better than the current new one.. sigh ] i want new challenges, new perspective.. new look? hahaha..
but i dont want to totally forget the past. i dont mean cling onto and not letting go the past, but to remember the past as how it used to be. as memories. occasionally, i love to go back memory lane again [ not the shop ] and just to smile and remember the moment. i realised that the old film camera takes better shot than my digital shots. hahaa.. oh well.. still learning.
anyways, it is a new year, therefore, a new begining and a new challenge shall be. God knows whats going to happen so, trusting Him in it! ;o)
song in head : the four seasons , wilson philips - 2 songs, donno which ones to put.. so put both la.. hehe

what defines a lady?
[ was watching My Fair Lady, and this song kinda fit this.. why cant a woman be more like a man - Henry Higgins ]
do i need to wear a skirt always?
i'm more comfortable in pants
i better in shorts
but forgive me when i run aimlessly
i'm just a woman having fun
do i need to put make-up?
i'm not the type that will effordly make-up
or interested in the latest shade
but forgive me when you see me plainly
i'm just a woman simple as can be
do i need to be a lady-like?
i'm not soft spoken
neither am i a roaring lion
but forgive me when i act like one
i'm just a woman speaking my mind
do i need to smile sweetly always?
and constantly in smiles?
i will have my ups and downs
but forgive me when i'm expressing
i'm just a woman of expression
do i need to hide my feelings?
i might be good at secret feelings
and i cant hold for too long
but forgive me when i share it with you
i'm just a woman with feelings
do i need to be playing a piano
or even sing sweetly like a bird?
i can croak like a frog
but forgive my inedequacy in arts
i'm just a woman of different skills
nevertheless
don't be suprise to see me in skirts and heels
in make-up and hair tied up
sitting quietly in a corner
i'm just a woman, just being one.
[ blurred esh, 26/12/2006 ]

may all the resolutions that you guys have planned work out and may coffee continue to taste ever so good everytime, anytime.
