To the World, To him...

Empty, yea, that's it.
Facing this screen, intense in thoughts, yet nothing, nothing seems to come out.
So much to ponder, so much to revise, yet so little it seems...
Thinking of the time slipping through his grasp,
of loved one,
of the unknown future,
of this crying world,
so complex, yet it is just a small train of thoughts that come and go,
simple, naive thoughts as compared to the harsh reality...
After all, just a tiny speckle of life from this bigger world,
what is a small life to the bigger stream of life?
An insignificant dots in a world map?
A dull human amongst the billions of human?
A drop of water among the sea of water?
To the world, probably he's just a nothing,
But to him, the world is probably holding all the things he wants and crave...

3.38am

3.38am-That's the time shown on my desktop. And WTH am I doing here? Nowhere near my bed of course, not even notes. It's facebook, twitter, you-tube, sports, blah blah blah... Damn! But I still don't feel like occupying my time with studies..xD 

Browse through my friend's blog and came across some cool car pics. Look at this...


Lamborghini Reventon and McLaren F1.. Wow.. Cool cars! I love them.. Well,...... One day probably.. One day la, one day.. lol..

Sigh... What a lazy night. Idling around trying to relax after a tiring day. But somehow crappy thoughts keep filling up my head, like some irritating flies buzzing around, though the thoughts themselves are not what I will call irritating. Best to think nothing, have a clear and focus mind to detect the subtle discontinuities, oops.. P3-Mintzberg 'emergent strategy' theory. Crap, too much of studying.. xD

Alright, a topic for discussion-Global warming, increasing earthquake frequencies, major volcanic eruptions, typhoons/hurricanes, blah blah blah... So they say signs of end times huh? Well, it's not like it matters as  the rumours said its 2 more years to come-well, you get what I mean. I know, it's BS, scientifically proven not true or whatever it is that the 'science' said, but the question is 'What IF it is real?'. Maybe not 2 years, but SOON. How soon I don't know, but just think IF it's real, what's your plan? Hmm.. Any contingency plans? 

Move on to philosophies, I recently saw a philosophy on money quoted in a financial magazine-here it goes..
"You can't do without money, but don't let it control you. You need to see its value in the proper place in your life. One of the biggest problems is greed and letting it control your life and your decisions. Because of greed, people go to war and break the law, even people who are rich wouldn't be able to spend all their wealth in their lifetime."
Hmmm.. Very true, human greed-not an uncommon thing nowadays. At the end of the day, money is after all just a human creation, bringing with it no value other than in the world we are in now. Important as it is, just remember that money is not everything. Do not let money control us, do not let it be a reason for conflicts. Well, since money bring so much troubles, why not just give them all to me? I'll take care of the troubles for you. Oops.. xp

And exam stress...You know when you start talking a lot to yourself and when you use a lot of those study terms, you're probably having exam stress, or just too immersed in studying. How bout pimples? Black eyes aka panda eyes, pale and tired faces, exploding heads, headache, 'chronic misbehaviours', amongst others...All right, I'm no expert here. But let's just work hard together people.. =)

OMG, it's 4.19am already! Degree of blurness-exceeding 90%. I'd better tune in. Adios, folks!

Hot, Hotter and Hotter...

NASA reports, by the next 10 MONTHS, EARTH gets hotter by 4'C from now. Himalayan glaciers are melting at a rapid rate. Lend your hands to fight global warming -Plant more trees. Don't waste water. Don't use or burn plastic and don't delete this message without forwarding. SAVE EARTH at any cost..
Saw this message in facebook and I'm like, 'Wow, 4'C hotter? Awesome. We could probably do well in a much hotter environment than it is now.' Already half-baked from the heat, making me sweat like no one's business, now it's just gonna be much worse. Great right? I'm sure you will agree with me. And when they say we should save Earth, I wonder how many people around the globe will actually resist themselves from switching on the air-conditioner for the sake of Earth, something I largely doubt. Well, this could possibly just end up making our Earth much worse than it already is after all...

BAD'09--Climate Change(15/10/2009)

BAD'09-short for Blog Action Day 2009, well, "For those of you who don’t know, Blog Action Day is an annual event held every October 15th where bloggers across the world unite to write about a single issue on a single day. We like to think of it as one big blogfest for good, and our goal is to spark conversation on an issue of importance across the web."-that's what I got from the blogger buzz. Came across it in Sparky's post, and since the topic is a global issue -Climate Change- I thought I would join in the cause as well. Take a look at  www.blogactionday.org for more info.

So, climate change-not a foreign issue to any of us i guess, unless you are the kind that shut yourself from the news, from the world. But even then, you guys would have been exposed to it in your education, teachers, friends, etc. A change in the statistical distribution of weather over periods of time that range from decades to millions of years, a change that is caused mainly by us, humans which in turn will affect us in the near future, be it to us or our future generation. A good example will be global warming.

Although other factors such as plate tectonics, volcanism, etc. do play a role in the change, it is the human influence factor which is growing uncontrollable in today's modern world. Fossil fuel combustion, aerosols, cement manufacture, ozone depletion, animal agriculture,deforestation, etc.-sounds familiar to you? Doing any of those at the moment? Guess you do. Billions of cars out there on the road each there, aerosol everywhere around the world, forest fire, logging, air-conditioner (CFC), etc etc etc. And how many person out there actually cares about all this? Thousands? Millions? Surely not yet billions!

Percentage of advancing glaciers in the Alps in the last 80 years


Variations in CO2, temperature and dust from the Vostok ice core over the last 450,000 years

Glaciers melting, rise in CO2, temperature and dust, changes in sea level, and not forgetting the negative effect on flora and fauna-this are all just a small list of the effect from climate change, and all this is happening now. Yes, NOW! And how many of us actually realize it? Actually took the steps to work hard to reduce their Carbon footprints? Actually tried to promote it to the communities? That is not all. The worst is it is actually WORSENING! Day by day as we continue our daily activities, with no care for our environment, our beloved Earth and it's inhabitants is actually suffering!

To solve all this, every single person in this world would have to play their part. You might think your small action is meaningless to the environment, but remember, small it might be, collectively it is BIG enough to play a BIG part to save our Earth. Think for yourself, for Earth and it's inhabitants, and also for your future generations. You wouldn't want to see your children suffering out there, would you? So save Earth before it's too late....
