Chapter 21: the eastern oriental express train

after much deliberation, i’ve decided today, i am not going to workout. since i did that yesterday, but it’s an excuse i guess since i’m lazy :P

today’s additional blog is the brainchild of a conversation i had earlier today. the conversation was focused on life. the analogy provided, was that Life, are akin to that of train tracks. each track is a different junction of ‘choice’ in Life. the individual is transported by a ‘train’ travelling down the chosen track, speeding through Life. every now and then there will be a split in the tracks or stations. the choice of which way to continue with the journey or to stop or proceed is solely dependent on the individual. question is, how do you know which track is better and, which stations are good stops?

i guess it is all up to the person then, isn’t that so. wrong, i got an answer, which totally threw me offguard. what if the train did not leave the main station or something is holding it back? what then…there is plenty left to say about this topic but i think i will have to edit this or post a part two for that…

Chapter 20: my wish came through for you

another freaky prediction or more like wish came through. seems like i have been having a lot of these occurances lately. as my readers would know, the previous chapter was a wish for a white christmas. well, it never happened here in sunny Malaysia, albeit a wee bit wetter the past few days. it did happen however for a special someone while we were both on the phone. freaky but really nice. it was my christmas gift to her :). well, i got her mail today with some pictures of the scene at that time. it was a short snowfall but nevertheless, it was a ‘moment’. it’s odd sometimes how feelings travels over oceans and mountains. doesn’t it make you warm and fuzzy inside. thank you very much dear. it brightened my dreary day. well, a good start to this festive week i suppose.

am listening to the song titled “Knocking on Heavens Door” now. somehow it stirs up the calamities the past few days. The Lee Garden Hotel in central Haadyai, Thailand was a target of another vicious bombing incident. The earthquake measuring 8.9 on the Richter scale, which hit Sumatra, Indonesia caused many fatalities and the aftershocks reverberated  into it’s neighbour Malaysia, India, Sri Lanka and Thailand and claimed many, many lives in the form of deadly tidal waves and tsunamis in the coastal areas. a moment of silence and prayer i offer to the deceased and the survivors. it all feels surreal but it is something not surprising as it was written and emphasized in the article, “Who is Writing the Future”. this time of turmoil will pave the way to ensuing peace in the near future. i pray i may live to see witness that day.
