The Aussie Dollar has risen to an astronomical stature. I cant believe how strong it is. An Aus dollar can now buy 70 US cents...
This means that every meal I eat now although the price has not risen, but Im paying more because of the exchange rate. The last time I checked, 1 Aus dollar bought RM2.8 And, referring to my previous blog, that 5 sen equates to a grand total of RM 0.17857... not even 1 measly cent. How can you buy booze with 0.17857 sens? Even rotten fruit costs more than that. Criminal...absolutely criminal.
Me and my negative valued 5 sen coin. :(
P.S: sen is malaysian currency, not to be mixed up with cents.

Swurpliness...
How tragic. I like to be different. I live to be different. I like to be a pioneer and the best compliment I could ever get is a statement my extreme eccentricity (or genius but I hardly ever recieve one of the latter ;p ). Im even weird by genetic default (Im blood type AB...only 3% of the people in the world are. *beams proudly* ). The point is. . .
One day I signed up for this sms thingy my fren asked me to join and would you know it, my name was taken. My wonderfully unique and special name. My personification of 5 years, stolen by some uncreative coward. How tragic. I truly feel as if a part of me has been ripped apart. My jealousy and protectiveness for this name, which I deem MY name, is overwhelming. How dare he. How dare she. HOW DARE THEY!!!!

The Easy Life, or lack thereof...
I've come across many quotes in my life and one of them goes, " Life was never meant to be easy. " Who exactly said that? Would you deem that statement to be highly presumptious? To state that life was MEANT to be hard, torturous labour? What does this statement mean?
Daily life seems to be a neverending struggle. Sure, we have our pockets of joy here and again but most of it seems to be a monotonous journey, a futile fight for whatever it is we have been taught to be important. For most it revolves around the sound Bla Bling! This is life, as we see it. Or is this a consequence/reward of life?
Life also means the creation or birth of a new being. That too seems to be a complex issue, what with mitosis and meiosis and the excrutiating childbearing pains. The countless failures etched with the familiar pockets of joy. The best analogy for this thought would be coral mass spawning. Imagine thousands and thousands of corals within a single reef releasing all their gametes at the same time. What a spectacle! What a triumphant dance of life!! And to some.....what a feast!!!!! All save 3% will survive this massacre.
And then there is Life....given to us,humans, freely by God through the death of Jesus. Life that is not monotonous nor futile. Life that is not a series of failures pocketed with patches of happiness. Life that is not by chance, or which lasts for the first hour or so. This life which we have is Eternal Life. A one in a million chance to have our being serving and praising God for absolute eternity. How glorious it seems compared to the mundane lif we lead down on earth but many are blinded by the shiny new things they can accumulate on earth. All the BlaBlingness of Life. They fail to notice the soft reflected glory of God shining down on them, providing them wih all the BlaBling. How stubborn our eyes are. How defiant our ears and hard our hearts. Too easy, too easy some people muse with doubt. Yes. It was very easy, wasnt it, when Jesus hung on the cross bleeding to death. Mocked and whipped by the very breed He CHOSE to save. Too easy when Jesus who endured all evils was disconnected from the only thing that ever mattered to Him. All He ever wanted was to please God and to do His will and to be in relationship with Him but we stripped that of Jesus as well. Any gratitude? None. Even this life was not easy.
End line: Indeed, presumptious or not, the quote "Life was never meant to be easy" holds alot of truth. Even if the immediate life looks easy, it wasn't always so. Someone had to do all the dirty work and go the hard yards. Moral of the story:
~*~ If your life is easy, don't take it for granted.
~*~ If your life is hard, look to God for strength.
~*~ If the above doesn't make sense, think abit harder.
~*~ If you can't think abit harder, you have an extremely easy life and simple mind.

Oh me oh my
Hello tis me again (yes tis, and not its)..
Its (yes its, and not tis) been quite awhile since I have visited this dimension. I have been away, visiting this manisfestation called the real world. I must say there isnt much in it that is very good, and yet it is satisfyingly substantial. The "web" allows freedom of creativity and dreams, but thats all it stays as. Pixelated versions of what we hope for (unless you're an Ebay junkie). Yes but its strangely calming to enter again this land of familiarity. This land of infinite goodness, this land of no consequence.
i can finally reveal again this tattered side of me where appearance doesnt matter. Aaahhh...... :)
