i wanna blog. but i seriously have nothing to write. i wonder how come i had so many things to write when i first started blogging. i don't work well under pressure? pressure to blog has stifled my creative streak?? or there is simply nothing exciting happening at the moment?
i suppose there is nothing happening which i wanna write about. plenty of stuff in my mind now. half of which have been brought up a million times before. so, to not risk being labelled boring, and to spare my friends from having to entertain the same topic of discussions a million times a year, i have decided not to blog those tots.
then there are the kind of things which would probably get lots of questions. which i am not sure if i would like to entertain. such as? the line above would probably get lots of questions. which i would not like to entertain. :)
there are a lot of things which i should be doing at the moment. so, maybe it's just coz there are a lot of things i'm suppose to be doing other than thinking of what to blog about. and considering my inability to multitask (which i am trying to fix at the moment), not knowing what to blog is kinda... expected...?

vote wisely...
this is farni... have to share
Heaven or Hell?While walking down the street one day a Malaysian politician is tragically hit by a truck and dies. His soul arrives in heaven and he is met by an angel at the entrance.
"Welcome to heaven," says the angel.
"Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you.""No problem, just let me in," says the man."Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.""Really, I have made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the Yang Berhormat"I'm sorry, but we have our rules," says the angel.
And with that, the angel escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.Everyone is very happy and dressed in the finest batik there is. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people. They play a friendly game of golf and then indulge themselves on LOBSTERS, caviar and the most expensive food there is. Present together is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes.They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.
Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises. The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where the angel is waiting for him."Now it' s time to visit heaven."So, 24 hours pass with the Yang Berhormat joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and the angel returns.
"Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity."The Yang Berhormat reflects for a minute, then he answers: "Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I am better off in hell."
So the angel escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above. The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder."I don't understand," stammers the Yang Berhormat. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?"
The devil looks at him, smiles and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning, just like you did during an election...... Today you voted."

existence is relative!
how much you exist depends on how much you matter to other ppl... i think.
have you ever been far far away from your friends and family, surrounded by ppl whom you supposedly know, but whom you know would not be affected at all if you disappear from the face of the earth the very next second..? all your sudden disappearance would amount to would be a few minor inconveniences?
you will then feel like you don't exist.
which i guess is the reason why many ppl have a real fear of ending up alone.
i lost my train of tots. or rather i forgot. coz this posting was inspired in bkk. that was last week...

dubai... surreal
it's surreal. it's almost like one stepped into another world. a fantasy world. the playground of the filthy rich.
the cars (like car magazine - only they are on the road). the villas. the people. the kite surfing. the beautiful beaches. the indoor ski slope. the palm. the growth rate. the rate at which things are being built. it's simply amazing. it's so fast.
i tot to myself. where have i been?? what is holding me back? why am i not here? i suppose it's true. if you have not seen it, you would not know what you have been missing. then i tot. i want these. all these. then i tot. do i really want these? would it make me happier? then i tot. do i really not want all these? or am i just thinking that i don't want these because i am not sure if i can get them? then i tot. how to be contented again?
someone told me that comes with age. when i get older, i will know how to be contented. so i should just go for it now. but what if i chase and chase and chase, and in the end realise that i have been chasing nothing? i can hear it now. why think so much. just do it laarrr
scared ma. what if chase wrong thing?
can one have it all? family, friends, love, money, cars, kite surfing, lurrrvvvly clothes...???? must prioritize and balance to make sure no regrets. must chase and not worry about regret. must know how to be thankful, so can learn to be contented. yet must not complacent. so many things to keep in mind.
note to self : start multitasking.
back to dubai. dubai is nice. lebanon food is yummy here. al hallab is anyways. cars are beautiful. being here makes one feel like it's possible. to be travelling around in the cars that one tot one will only see in car magazines. the rate at which buildings come up. one would think you just have to put a pill in the ground and water. buildings sprout like taugehs. so fast. makes one wonder what would happen if dubai stops building? where are they going to find people to occupy all these buildings when it's all completed?? if artic melt, what would happen to palm? can it float? the size of the villas and the grounds. they must have buggies to ferry servants to and fro servant quarters and villa. i think sell grass also will be darn loaded liao.
everything is so different. it's a different world. would it be my world? will keep you ppl posted :) now have to go out for breakfast...
