this thought came to my mind as my mind was wandering away from the econs lecture.

my eyes landed upon this bug that was probably crushed by the weight of someone who stepped on it accidentally, that left it struggling to stand upright.

it was summoning all the energy that's left to fight death, that's coming its way.














that bug has done nothing wrong, to deserve such a painful torture and torment.

there was nothing much that i could do, and all i did was to stare in anguish, and watching it flap and twirl around.

till it could fight no more, so exhausted that it finally gave up, lied still on the ground, dead.

have you watched the news?

regarding the new dish that the taiwanese have come up with.

this dish includes the preparation and cooking of the fish, alive.

throwing a fish that's struggling to break free from death, into the wok of boiling hot oil.













and when its done, its being served onto the table.

the worst part is that the fish is still alive.

alive and helpless. there's nothing much it can do but to suppress all its pain and torture to itself.

it can scream, it can't run.

and all it can do is to wait till the pain takes away its final breath, the pain from the tearing of its flesh.

the flesh, gently torn apart by the chopsticks and utensils, fed to the unfeeling human beings.

yet none of them would ever be able to feel what it is going through.

brutal isn't it?

My life as it stood- A bottle of Rum

The rum stood cold in the oak barrel
A year it was to be there, in that American barrel
To mature and age and gain flavour from
the all American oak, why couldn't it be French?

An angel's share was not forgotten
neither was the spirit that was to be still
It was restless, but imprisoned by the hardwood
there was nothing it could do, but wait

Soon the clear fluid turned a slight brown
A sign for maturity and tranquility was to be found within
The wooden planks no longer resemble prison bars
and the barrel became like a haven

But the elysium was not to be for all eternity
for the year was getting shorter and
Graduation day from the nursery was near
What is it to be?

Carribean light or Abrabian spiced
no one could tell just yet, but one's thing's for sure
what The brewer has in mind
Something grand, something for a King

"An average person's rubbish in every 7 weeks is equal to his average weight".

"If 1 million people people cut down their rubbish by 10%, we can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 50,000 tonnes".

These quotes are in view of the Live earth's concerts, which appeal to the general public to play their part in healing Mother Earth. Many have questioned the relevance and impact of these massive global concert. Are people really going alter their devasting and earth-debilitating ways after being apart of these concerts? Are the concert set-ups an utter waste of resources?

Initially i felt skeptical too, where i was ambivalent about the effectiveness of Live Earth, but after watching snippets of the concerts, i felt encouraged and inspired to play my part. I watched the concert due to my favourite artists (Alicia Keys, John Mayer, etc) performing, but that was the all-important step in getting me involved. Footage like short films and celebrities like Cameron Diaz inspired me to play my part, where simple things like using reycled paper towels mattered. I was also educated on the whole halabalu about the hastening of global warming, where the figures given simply expounded on it.

It may take a genius like Al Gore to plan a concert on such a gargantuan scale, but it definitely doesn't take a genius to play their part in global warming. ANSWER THE CALL.

P.S. I am not getting any amount of commision for these blog post. Heh. XD

Madonna - Hey You

Hey you,
Don't you give up, it's not so bad
There's still a chance for us
Hey you,
Just be yourself, don't be so shy

There's reasons why it's hard
Keep it together, you'll make it alright
Our celebration is going on tonight
Poets and prophets would envy what we do
This could be good, hey you

Hey you,
Open your heart, it's not so strange
You've got to change this time
Hey you,
Remember this, none of it's real
Including the way you feel

Save your soul, little sister
Save your soul, little brother

Why Do I Feel So Sad- Alicia Keys

Friends we've been for so long
Now true colors are showing
Makes me wanna cry oh yes it does
Cuz I had to say goodbye

By now I should know
That in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

How can I adjust
To the way that things are going
It's killing me slowly
Oh I just want it to be how it used to be

Cuz I wish that I could stay
But in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

You cannot hide the way you feel inside I realize
Your actions speak much louder than words
So tell me why oh

By now I should know that
That in time things must change
So it shouldn't be it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

By now I should know
That in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

By now by now i should know
that in time things must grow
and i had to leave to you behind
so why do i feel so sad
if it couldnt be that bad

By now I should know
That in time things must grow
And I had to leave you behind
So why do I feel so sad
If it couldn't be that bad
Tell me why

By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
