Tarot...
Didn't know I'm supposed to type a question in the box before I click enter and look at the readings until just now...
The thing about fortunes, is that u believe what u believe in.. and well, it's a good way to reaffirm your already set decisions, not that you would have thought otherwise.
My recent past... committee to studying? Not quite, but well, I am staying at home and looking at pieces of paper everyday...
Current situation? I am in harmony with my masculine and feminine sides... No I am not she-male, or he-womale. I am just in harmony.
Future? Go rest after the exams? hahahahaha...
See, can customise to any context de... minus the middle part la... maybe its the "fruitful gain in business" thing.... hmm...

Poem
Alone again,
I sit and pray,
That things will be,
As it always has,
And always will,
That nothing would happen,
That will sway off course,
That everything that is felt,
Is never remorse.
How and what I'd seen,
Is but just a farce,
Nothing really means,
or much less matters,
As I sit and ponder,
It makes me wonder,
Had it been a dream?
A fantasy?
Or was it just my imagination?
Gathering my thoughts,
I sit and pray,
alone again,
That spark of emptiness,
The little void,
What I've lost,
I refuse to recall.
Perhaps it's fate,
or blind faith,
Of it's destined,
That life would be,
As it is today.
That daffodils are flowers,
And bees are insects,
And you are you,
And I...remain me.

First time writing a poem...wahahaha... I suck... I know...

Primeval
They're showing Primeval on TV... and I cannot see!! Cos I have to study... dammit. Not that it's a nice show, but everything seems nicer than studying, even a killer croc.
Oh well, was just wondering what they meant when they said that this was based on real events.
Got this from wiki...

Gustave is a massive male Nile crocodile living in Burundi. In 2004 he was estimated to be 60 years old, 20 feet (6.1 m) in length and to weigh around 1 ton, making him the largest confirmed crocodile ever seen in Africa.He is a notorious man-eater, who is rumored to have claimed as many as 300 humans from the banks of the Ruzizi River and the northern shores of Lake Tanganyika. While this number is likely exaggerated, Gustave has attained a near-mythical status and is greatly feared by people in the region. He is said to hunt and leave his victims' corpses uneaten.
Gustave was named by Patrice Faye, a French resident of Burundi and self-taught naturalist who has been pursuing the crocodile since 1998. Faye and a documentary team attempted to capture Gustave in 2002 using an enormous trap, but the crocodile not only avoided it, but seemed to taunt the team as well.The ill-fated attempt was detailed in a documentary titled Capturing the Killer Croc, which aired on PBS in May 2004.
Gustave was sighted most recently in February 2008 by National Geographic sources.In parts of Asia and Australia saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) 6 metres (20 ft) long are well known and easy to spot; individuals 7 metres (23 ft) long have been reported. In eastern India the Guinness Book of World Records has confirmed the existence of a 7 metre individual. Therefore, Gustave is not exceptional in size compared to other species of crocodiles, although he is much larger than the average male Nile crocodile. He is known for the few distinct bullet scars that cover his body: one on his head and three on his right side.
Due to his colossal size and weight, he is virtually incapable of catching smaller prey like small mammals and fish, and so he hunts larger, heavier animals like wildebeest, humans, zebra and even hippo.
As of January 2010, Gustave still lives within the Ruzizi River area and is occasionally spotted by people, although no human fatalities have been officially attributed to him since his sudden notoriety.

Motivation...
Can't believe I spent the whole long weekend on books. Sat at the same spot too long, till I developed back ache and couldn't sleep the whole night. Took painkillers and cough mixture, got in 2 hours of rest, and then had to prepare for work again.
Went back to work on Monday, had discussions with the boss on some trying issue, performed 3 sets of presentations, and then went for a meeting with 2 training providers to get a problem resolved.
Sometimes I wonder, where I get all the energy and motivation from. At my age, I should be too old to even pick up a book. Much more read it. And as a buddy put it, everyone keeps telling me that I have to study, but given the same situation, they can't picture themselves doing it. I wonder if that's true, but I guess that's a way of saying that I am trying and they can see it.
Another buddy added that it's strange that I keep clearing things for others, helping people fix their mistakes and doing what other people think is not worth doing. At the end of the day, there wont be any thanks or appreciation for the things I do. And as yet another puts it, others only do things that make them shine, I do all the 吃力不讨好 stuff that no one else wants to do. Yet, I guess, that's why I end up with a reputation, for people to think of me first and look for me whenever they have a problem, but not remember that I exist in good times or when they are happy.
Haha. I should really spend more time reading and less time blogging about stuff like this. No time liao, no time liao!! Tomorrow still got war to fight. Sigh.

Bad news...
Just got a letter from Dayspring. Cholesterol levels are not good.
From total cholesterol levels <200, I have now 222mg/dL of cholesterol
From LDL of <100, I have now 138 mg/dL of bad cholesterol
Lucky for me, my HDL levels are high, lowering the Total over HDL ratio to 3 (<4.5 is normal)
Think I better watch my diet and workout more.

Suffering...
It is those times that we suffer and hurt, that makes us grow and forms the most important parts of our lives.
Dinner at 333...
Simple buffet dinner at Meritus Mandarin... nice... but too bad, didn't have much of an appetite.
