Lacking in wisdom

“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.”- James 1:5

Needing wisdom right now! I'm looking on seek and mycareer for any suitable positions. It'll soon be time for me to look for another job, something permanent and that will pay the bills.

Working ending soon, another chapter of my life over and a new one beginning. Youth is escaping me as I progress into my mid twenties!

I am definitely a vaizard

"Bleach" (anime series, if you haven't heard about wikipedia it) has been a constant comfort to me in the year of 2006 and continues to be in the year of 2007. A source of entertainment, heroes that I admire, it really is as good as it gets.

Anyway I just want to be really introverted and say on my blog that I am a "vaizard".

defn. A "shinigami" who has inherent "hollow" powers.

If I may make the following analogy:- a "shinigami" equals a good, holy and upright being whereas a "hollow" is a empty, dark, evil, powerful, reckless monster.

I know I have the dark evil streak in me. And occassionally, just occasionally, do I let this inner demon out on the rampage, and it does cause a lot of damage, recklessly.

Anyway excuse me for reading too much manga!

Chicken rice shop

Anyone heard the new Chicken rice jingle?

It goes like this:-

Sek kai fan, bin do sek? Sek kai fan, bin do sek?

(Repeat 10 times)

It's been in my head the whole afternoon. I hate catchy jingles, this one is implanted in my brain forever.

My second last working week here in K.L. Finish line is almost there, but then I will have to a new "start" line. I'm trying to be positive but its hard to be, hope I don't get a bad dose of culture shock when I come home.

QQ Haircuts

Spent all afternoon at Mid Valley today, walked around alot, read the paper at Mcdonalds and regretted eating an M&M Mcflurry. Highlight of the day is going for a "QQ" Haircut. 12ringgit for a haircut in 12 minutes!

Its a Japanese concept I think, you look at the traffic light which is strategically placed in front of the store. If its green you gotta wait 15minutes, yellow 5-10 and you're good to go if its green. You go to the machine and insert 12 ringgit (no change) and a card will come out. You take your card, sit in your numbered seat and wait for your turn.

I'm very pleased with the haircut, feeling like a new man haha.

08.01.2007

A few weeks ago an earthquake measuring 7.1 on the Richter hit the coast of Taiwan disrupting many trans Pacific under sea internet lines. People throughout asia were lamenting the lack of internet, and many bloggers throughout the blogosphere were left stranded in the desert of net-lessness.

It was weird not having internet, which is a sign of how much the net is part of our lives. Was thinking that it was a little sad that heaps of bloggers throughout Asia and the world were depressed as they couldn't pour our that emotions on their blogs.

Anyway I've kinda wasted the last hour at work today. Feeling too mentally tired to read, research or right. This guilty feeling is going to motivate me to do work at home, damn. haha Anyway will make time to read more "Eragon" on the bus tonight. Funny how reading is more interesting now that uni is over.

Happy New Year 2007!

Its a brand new year, a brand new start and a brand new direction in life.

Sad that all the merry-making has been marred by blasts in Bangkok. The world is not in a good state, I can't help thinking about all the challenges our world faces at present. There are floods in southern Malaysia and parts of Indonesia, severe drought in Australia, political instability everywhere, a huge part of the Arctic broke off due to global warming, the list goes on and on.

I was at the Curve shopping mall in "Pets Paradise", a huge pet store has its own dog hotel (called the"Ritz") a dog grooming centre all in one. Its more like a zoo than a pet store as it even stocks racoon, star tortoises, boa snakes and peacocks. Anyway I digress, I was looking at the marine fish tanks and a story I read in the paper came to mind. Due to global warming the seas are becoming warmer and as a consequence coral territories in the Pacific, especially the Great Barrier Reef are dying out. This poses a huge problem to the eco system and ultimately everything in the circle of life is affected. The corals die out and the little fish that feed on the them die too, the big fish that feed on the little fish die out and it goes on and on. Looking at the beautiful coral specimens in the tank at Pets Paradise reminded me of this looming ecological disaster. Everything that was predicted in "Captain Planet" is coming true, its a scary reality and we cannot be oblivious to it anymore.

So I'm reminded this 1st January 2007 to be more proactive, both in action and in prayer. I'm reminded to give a damn about things that happen in this world and not be complacent and blaise about the things that really matter.
