Boy, it's been 2 months since I last updated the other site.

Went to Woodlands workshop as promised the boss Benny. Should have kicked myself for believing these guys. "It's only $45 and we will do everything"! Anyway, they did a clean job on the engine assembly, minus the belt. Costed me $154. Practised on the GPS again at woodlands and see if I could orientate my way home. Not too bad and the way home was a smooth and quiet one. Shiok. Will bring my camera the next time.

I guess life hasn't been "that bad" for everyone, no matter despite all the things that had happened. Someone once told me that nothing will be worse off than falling off the Hand of God. Thankfully, He can't let it happen. But no matter what happens to me in the future, as long as it comes from the loving hand that will rescue me from the fire, I have to accept.

Regarding blogging, or collecting/giving public comments on blogs - even on supposedly "private" blogs - I feel that one should learn to be responsible in speech and not just in deeds alone. There on the blog belies the secret thoughts. Behind the screen, the author has a certain courage, someone he/she has been so accustomed to all the years. There are many writers who spill out their guts out over any issue, political or trying to be sensual.

But there is really no such thing as 'a private blog', or 'my personal space', even if the author is the only one who has access to the page. As long as there is any chance that whatever has been said and later on, are reproduced somewhere else or by someone else, then the author of that blog should be equally responsible for whatever storms that have erupted out of the whole thing.

Even in one's own secret thoughts, one must learn to discipline oneself. One day, all these will well up from within your soul and you cannot help but try to live with that stench that you have been bottling up within. There is on the one side, externalities to consider before one makes use of a certain level of trust and privilege we humans claim as if it were our right. The "you-videocam-me, I-videocam-you" saga finally and successfully made stars out of each other. Wonder how they are doing now..... hehe. 3G handphones? Less obvious? People from Malaysia would come over and take a look! And in God's eyes, they too would be implicated and shall probably stand in Heaven's courts.

Maybe I could try writing to my friends, one at a time... or relate a childhood incident, while my memory is still with me. Or should I place my will here as well? Will it count? Life is too short in some places and too boring in others. I feel our children must really learn to be thankful. That's probably why every self-respecting department is overclocking to try keep all the unhappy employees satisfied.
