The end of the world... Or is it?

Boo!

Oh. My. God.

9 months. For 9 months I went MIA. Well not really.

I guess I was too lazy to write. Or perhaps, I didn't know what to write.

But it's December 2012! Sooo many things have happened since my last post in March!

I know, I know, I always say that, yes, yes. But for the record, I did get a foldable bicycle. And I'd been using it to explore the riverside park near my house. Haven't used it for a couple of months now, though.

But that's because of work! Yes, work, work. Occupies my daylight hours, and by the time I come home - exhausted and all - why in the world would I want to cycle? There. Justified.

But what I wanted to address today... is the end of the world. Oh come on, you really believe that? Okay, here's my perspective. I'm a spiritual person, so I've been following what the spiritual community has been saying. And I believe them. Well, naturally.

So. 21 December 2012. Mayans say it's the end? Well, I guess they were not wrong. But most of us have misinterpreted it. They didn't mean it's the end of the world. Rather, it's more like the end of an old age.

You see, it's simply a transition. We're moving from an old period to a new one. It's all part of Earth's ascension into higher spiritual planes. Humanity wants to ascend, you see. So here's the deal: it's said that a new wave of energy will be sweeping the planet on that day - possibly at 11:11am, if I'm not wrong. (Don't ask me why that time; it's another story altogether.)

Now, this new wave of energy is a highly spiritual energy which will open up even more the channels of spirituality in us humans. So there's a higher chance of us being more spiritual. And that's a good thing, no?

And to the question of whether or not we will feel anything, I've come across a saying that goes something like this: "For those who are spiritual, they will feel the new energy. For those who are not (at least at that point in time), they won't feel anything - it's as though nothing has happened."

Well, I guess that's the gist of it. Of course, if you do your research, there are many, many variations of what 21 December 2012 will bring. Some really think the end of the world is likely, while others think it's absolute bullshit.

No worries, you don't have to believe anything. No need to take sides. Why don't you experience it for yourself? Yeah. Just see what happens when that day comes. If an asteroid comes hailing towards you, so be it. If you start to become more open-minded in the days that follow, so be it - and good for you!

I want to ride my bicycle!

So it's now the March school holidays. The past few weeks have been eventful, no doubt.

I've been wanting to get a foldable bicycle for some time now. There's this great riverside park near my house and I want to make full use of it.

Well I do take strolls there but I can't possibly walk the whole stretch of it - unless time is an illusion (actually it really is, but that's another story). So I plan to get a bicycle - foldable because one, it's the in thing these days, and two, if it can be folded, why not?

Hmm... it's been awhile since I last rode on a bicycle. I used to ride frequently when I was a little younger... those days I was living at my previous house. Since I've moved to this one, I never got round to cycling - not to mention even owning a bicycle. Oh wait a minute, I think I do own one, but it's rusting somewhere because I've hardly used it in years and hence, my wanting to get a new one.

So this is it, then. I hope my new bicycle will open a new chapter in my tiny, little life and at the same time, revisit an old chapter that I once wrote... somewhere in the illusion of time...

Nothing lasts forever...

Ahhh! February 2012! Where was I?

Wow. So the new year has begun a long time ago. Looks like January's over.

Well, I've been working these days, and am quite glad to say that I'm enjoying it so far. I guess life can take a turn for the better as it does for the worse.

"Nothing lasts forever." This phrase rings true on almost every aspect of life. It's quite sad to know that even a good thing can't last forever. But it gives us hope when we know it's the same for a bad thing.

Cycles, cycles.

But then again, since nothing is permanent here in this life, what do we strive for? What do we look forward to? What do we hold on to? Nothing?

It seems so funny when we are so attached to something; when we grasp at something, never wanting to let go. Or when we want something to live up to our expectations - because this is the way it should be.

So what now? Let go? Don't be attached to anything? Be detached? Don't have any expectations? Because we'll only be disappointed if we do any of these things?

I guess so, huh?
