What will hurt you most?

Sending your family into a hell or not having them survive this hell? Hell, is there a difference? For me, I have to send my family back to Osaka tomorrow late evening. Some of you may say that I am crazy, but then I have no choice. They have to go meand they have to go. We just have to make sure all our emergency plans are set in place and we all know what we are doing, which makes things a bit difficult because when it comes to Mother Nature, how many of us truly understands her. But in the end, having a glow in the dark child and wife, may not be such a bad thing after all. Imagine the savings in electricity. But in the end, we all live by the rules we make and also by the choices we make. We cannot go back and hope that time will be reversed and that we can undo our mistakes... So if my daugther glows in the dark or wife gives birth to a 6 headed hyrda, so be it lor.

Sometimes I ask myself "why"??

You know, you look around you and you see misery, you see suffering. You feel sympathetic, but only for a while. You look at others and see faults, but do not see your own and in the end, the question will always be why? Why did we become this way? It is as profound as it is simple. The ego of man is the downfall of man. We had a lady call up telling the heartlanders not to go to Holland Village, an area full of ang mohs, because heartlanders are not cultured. Perhaps they push or speak loudly or are vulgar... but I can swear to it that event the most cultured being can swear profanities worse than a drunken prawn can. If rich means being cultured, again it is a misnomer because you may be rich, but you need not be cultured. You may read Tolstoy and the Illiad and Odessy.. but are you cultured? It is in the mind lah I tell you. How you bring yourself and carry yourself is the true worth of your own. No matter how rich you are, some people may be richer or as rich, but they do not want to flaunt it. So ego is mankind's downfall. Those who have power but are unable to share it, those who aspire for more when they have enough and so on... It all makes us crazy doesn't it?

The world today

I am filled with dread when I think of my family going back to Japan in Apr... What will happen if another earthquake were to strike or they find it difficult to buy food and so on. But then they have to go back because of a lot of reasons and I guess that this is where the strength of a person and his love for the family rises. Can we let our loved ones go to hell knowing that we can do something about it and also wondering if it is the last time you will say goodbye?
I do not make decisions easily and also I weigh everything before making one, so I guess they will go back unless the situation gets much worse.

As for the radiation leaks, if my monster can glow in the dark, it will save our power bills by a lot and also if she has 4 arms, she will be of much help... Or maybe I will use it as a way of getting money from the gahmen's of JP and SG... heee heeee... since they have not been allowed to get their PR here, which means they have to go back.

But seriously though, it was a big and bad situation and many others are still suffering. I feel that such a big disaster only serves to bring into mind that nothing is permanent. Not money, not status and not possessions. Now the rich also have to line up for food and they are also likewise unable to have electricity as and when they want. But talking about electricity, as mentioned in my prevous posts, we really really should not even consider Nuclear power generation in Sg... because they will be operated by the lowest paid people, who most probably do not have any idea what button to push. Why is because it is not cheap to build a plant and our bills will not be lower and yet we will have a chance to glow in the dark.

The world is coming to an end!!!

First of all, my monster has been sick with fever for the past few days and we are now making sure that she takes her meds and that she does not fry her brains.

As for the world coming to an end, the reason is simple... look at the number of volcanoes and earthqaukes that have been happening... It is a sign for sure. But then what do we do about it? Well, we sure as hell have not found a new planet to move to and even if we did, we do not have the capabilities yet. Unlike the silly show 2012, I do not think there will be anyone building any arks in Tibet and even if they try, it will be something that will be almost impossible to hide. I am not into the conspiracy theory, so I feel that sooner or later, any secret will come out.

Talking about arks, how the hell are we gonna build an ark or several arks big enough? Having 2 animals of each and 2 people of each race and so on.... There was a mention that if we had animals in the same ark, they would also end up on our dinner table... Well that is so true. If I were hungry, I would be looking at the cow and wondering if I were to have a fillet mignon or to have shabu shabu with it.

As for having 2 of each race, why not have the most beautiful (female) of each race and I will procreate with them instead? Good idea huh?

But seriously though, back to realities. There was once an ad that says that we live in an island with limited natural resources. It is true. Though our planet is big by many standards, it is still an island. If we shit enough in it, the stink will become harder to hide as time goes by and if we cut down all the coconut trees, then sooner or later we will not have any coconuts left. I am sure that my energizer rabbit will remain alive long enough to see this, but then the question will be if she wants a coconut, will I have to cut it down for her??? hehehehehe

When it rains... it pours

Oh yea... I am not talking about the real rain, but I meant good or bad luck.... The monster has been sick for 2 days and I gotta bring her to the doctors. She has been having a fever and I think that it is time to bring her to the docs before she fries her brain.

Then of course, the energizer rabbit wants money to go for her Scotlant trip and if I do not give it to her, she will still blackmail my sis for it. She claims that she is trying to save up, but then her going to the traditional medicine doctor every week and spending at least 150 bucks is something that she can save. She is 73 and has been able to go to Turkey, Europe and this year Scotland. And every time she goes, she says it is her last because it is not that she does not want to go anymore, but because she thinks she is going to die... But like the energizer battery, she goes on and on and on and on ......

If she stops seeing the TCM dr, she will be able to save the money for a trip easily. But then again, for someone with dementia and is child like, how can you explain such things? It is like me telling my monster that taking a sticky icky liquid that tastes like it squirted from the asse of a donkey is good for her... She ain't that stupid.

But I will request that she bring back some money and also show that she is trying to save so that I will consider giving her something for next or else, she can go and blackmail my sister all she likes and wants.
