I’ve always wondered……….from the limited intelligence that we humans have been gifted with we have come to know so much about the cosmos and our beloved earth. But what about all those things of which we have no idea??…what about the things that humankind has been baffled about since the beginning of time??..Is there another life form other than we humans?, how big is the universe?, how is life in the other world? Etc etc.??…are we supposed to know all these?..Or are we to ponder over these and find answers??..Or are we to go out there looking for answers?..Or are we to ask someone for answers??..If so who is it??

People who ask too much or think too much are considered as madmen or psychotics…but are they really??..Who are we to know or judge what’s going on in their minds?…How are we to know how enlightened they are?..I am not saying that we should believe what they say…but can we prove them wrong?..Who are we to say that they are wide of the mark when us ourselves do not know where this mark is??…is there a way for us to know??

I am not looking for answers. I am content with what we humans have already come to know. But aren’t we all curious??…don’t we all yearn for answers??…don’t we all have a little bit of curiosity inside us??..will these questions ever be answered???..Or what we know already is all that we are supposed to know??

I’ll be off to Singapore tomorrow night approximately around 10.30pm, and I’ll reach there the next morning…why???…cause I’m taking the frigging  train!!…it takes 8 to 10 hours!!…and there is no way that i can talk myself out of it. It’s a compulsory college trip..

When they first started talking about and planning the trip I thought I could totally get away, cause my passport was with the college for the renewal of my student visa, which normally takes almost 2 months. But nonetheless I went to the student affairs every other day to check whether the passport was done. And no, that was not me being eager to go on the trip. That was just me trying to make them believe that I was really into it and that i really wanted to go even though deep down I dreaded the thought of having to spend even 4 days with a bunch of people who; 1) loves pop music 2) eats rice in the morning 3) gathers at night and play cards while drinking coconut!..well I could go on and on..

Well here is the thing…I got a text message early this morning which said ‘ your passport is ready for collection from the office. have a nice trip’…first i thought it was a joke, so i checked the number and yes, my lecturer sent me the text. So here I am, packing and trying to think of ways to keep me going for the next few days….
