Managed to pick up the latest book from Micheal Crichton following his death. Latest Book? After? Death? You read it right the 1st time round.
Even I was shocked when news came in about his latest creation 'Pirates Latitude' after his passing in 2008. Thing is no one knows at which point of time this was written, it could've been one of his latest creation influenced by Pirates of the Caribbean a few recent years back or it could even have been more ancient since that, per say, Jurassic Park?
 
Not exactly a pirate's endeavors tale. This was establish in the first few chapters. Instead, they consider themselves Privateers. Despite the different name, this book still have their fair share of swash buckling, dubloon raiding and seamanship.

The adventures doesn't immediately end when they've finally found the treasure, thats the fun part. Even half way down the story, new characters are introduced which do not break the dynamics of the story and amazingly isn't a total wet blanket as well.
 
Micheal Crichton. One of the best Fiction Writers of today's time.

As cryptic this may be,
I didn't die or anything like that.
Seriously,
I'm just serving my National Service.
Which, I remind you, I am treating like a regular day job. Just that this has more commitments.
 
What kind of change do you expect to see in me?
Suprised?

Innocence is equally proportionate to happiness.
Take reference, a child. An innocent child. Knows no grief, no hardship.
Everything the child goes through at this point, will make the child happy, will make the child smile.
The child will experience something new and will be genuinely be interested. Some say the child is too naive for the child's own good but its not wrong to be genuinely happy. To have goosebumps every other time.
Of course, this happiness will only happen when no ill intentions are intended. As from then on, the child will also learn what it means to be betrayed. To have hopes brought down. Things will, usually, never be the same again.
Relatively, when you learn something new in your life, you tend to make the judgment of "My cup of tea". But like everything else you do. What helps you decide?

I am in no form to be writing a post on happiness and the likes. The Absolute opposite is whats going on around in this head of mine. Still, you can't deny a reason to smile, whatever the circumstances.

14th of February 93, Lil Jenny said she had a lil ( suprise ) for me.
 
Of course, not everyone shares that view, this  ( here ) brings it back to reality. =)

My Family Day happened to be on a Saturday. Not a Sunday.
Before leaving to carry out my plans for the day, mom told me, aunts and uncle coming over tonight, a cake will be cut too.
Weee... Thats when I thought "I'm Soooo gonna be home for dinner, no matter what".

Currently, I'm feeling high and dry now. I'm still not over the fact of my recent purchase yet. Still showing it around. Still watching the same Video that I had uploaded a few weeks back And still be in awe. Still fiddle with the BBE and Equaliser settings to fully strain the BeyerDynamiks at the screws. I'm missing my doses of live music, but i'm definitely getting my worth from this nifty baby.
Well thats the High part. The Dry part is such a pain in the Gluteus Maximus. I'm moving around town, with an empty wallet and its gonna remain that way for a good period of the month. I'll get buy weekly, Its not that long till the nexth income overhaul. Notice how i use 'overhaul'. Coz literally, when that time of the month comes, I'm actually a different person. I become this entity who spends. I find what i like and i grab it. It'll definitely worthwhile, I have ways of psychoin' myself to make believe what i need to to make it worth the spending, and i will actually believe it. Its subtle but it shall be big.
 
So i did reach home early for the night. with a spread of delicacies spread out in my living room. Kinda sad, how the dining table is left empty because all the action is a the Living Room. Funny how everyone commented how i had hair. Another week of helmet loving and i bet i'll have locks to fiddle with. The best thing about the food, It was all homemade. Noodles was in abundance. Murtabak was perfect and the Satay couldn't have come at a better time. Finally the icing at the top of the cake was, the cake itself. Choclate Truffle going around the house. There were even some for the cats. It was just missing a magical changing ceiling and i bet it would have been like the feasts u see in Harry Potter.

My mind likes to go everywhere nowsadays. Its not normally like these. I use to ponder on something/someone/somewhere for most of the time but not no longer. It was these recent nights that i manage to extract myself from the hustle bustle of the festive season and found some quiet time at a quiet place. I realized I didn't had nothing to think hard about. I could basically just thinker alot of everything. Hearing those memories in my ear. Furthermore, its not everywhere that u can paint pictures with a picturesque starry sky. 
 
As of now, my highest and lowest i ever was was back in 08. Whereas 09 actually just flowed past. Flowed with big bumps. 10 could be anything, I shall be in NS for the next 2 years after all. I'm sure any annual monotony shall be broken this coming year. Maybe this shall be year with a handful of Firsts. I personally never trust my own resolutions, Only in wishful thinking which i come up along the year. Its more predictable like that. And i don't really celebrate these festive seasons, I celebrate no doubt, just for all the different things.
