The Oddities of the World.

A sonogram caught this foetus ''rocking out'' in his mum's womb.

Rock on, yo! :D

Everyone could do with a little motivation!

The sunrise this morning was one of the most mesmerizing ones that I've seen in Singapore.

An azure sky painted with glowing streaks and patches of clouds. The golden sun rose slowly, casting shadows on the clouds and giving their edges greater definition.

I really like how the position of the sun gave this HDR-like effect to the clouds, thanks to the shadows. :D Just amazing. (and amusing at the same time. whee!)

That makes me feel like 'frying the frag of hwachong high'. Hehe.

this blog template is starting to look boring.

Hopefully, having all the links here in uncomfortably glaring shades of pink will spruce it up a little! :D

I just had a long heart-to-heart talk with my mum about friends, and now I really wish that I could go back in time to become a primary school student. Relationships were so simple back then. One could befriend another for just as long as he/she wished, because a simple proclamation of "I don't friend you!" would quickly extricate toxic friends from one's life.

Now that we're all grown up now, we often force ourselves to dilute the strong emotions we had during our childhood. Now, we can't get rid of poisons from our lives so easily. We have to conceal how we really feel in order to avoid unpleasant situations, and I can't stand doing that for much longer.

It's really sad to think about how many people (other than my family) there are in this world that I can trust and love without any reservations. On the other hand, it's really a great blessing that I have these people in my lives; there are many people out there who live meaningless lives with ever-changing grocery lists of mild acquaintances.

On a side note, I am a firm believer of the old adage, "the more you share, the more you gain". It's a value which has been deeply rooted in me, especially when applied to knowledge. This doesn't mean giving some revolutionary stuff (which you took 10 years to invent) away to the world for free, because I think 99% of humans are not capable of actions like that. If you actually did that, the world would nominate you for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The old kung-fu master thinking of 'I'm not gonna share everything with my disciples, just in case they triumph me!' is reasonable in the cut-throat corporate world, but it should not be applied to everything in life. This is the open-source era, people. Google, Wikipedia, Linux, and free apps are just a few famous examples of how sharing has made the world a better and happier place. :)

I can't take down a mountain all by myself; but together, we can.
