do not be captivated by anyone or anything
Friday, July 22, 2005
Missed the primetime news yesterday, as usual.

I only heard about the latest blasts in London over the radio today. Not again.

4 small coordinated explosions hit the bus and underground train network, just when Londoners are getting themselves back together again from the wake of the July 7 attacks exactly two weeks ago. Luckily, there were no casualties this time.

While I admire the British for their resilience in overcoming the trauma during the turmoil, I do wonder how much longer can their legendary stiff upper lips last. It could be a vicious cycle after all. Terrorists attack Londoners, Muslim communities are victimised, terrorists attack Londoners, Muslim communities are victimised...

There's only so much modern humans can take after all.

It's sad. Sad when humans become so 'creative' in their efforts to send a strong message across.

Perception in life is not defined by a long and continuous journey but rather a series of momentous singular events that shapes an individual's unique character. Each event gives rise to new perspectives, new fears, new strengths and even new ideals. By contemplating on the meaning of these events, I seek to expand my mind's vistas and thus becoming a better me.

Why GREY? Why use grey for my blog's colour theme? I had wanted silver but it's kinda hard to get that on our monitor screens don't you think... :-) Anyway being grey is COOL. Neither black nor white but somewhere in between. Reflects my view of life perfectly and totally. There are no absolute rights or absolute wrongs, in other words, no absolute truths. Our perceptions are based on conditions and our actions are based on circumstances. But our life is not all that greeeeeeeeeeey right? Yup, that's right and this is where my photos, occasionally, will add the necessary dashes of colour to my blog. Just as how dull routines at work makes chance meetings with friends so cherishable, the greyishness of my design makes my photos so much more livelier.
