Much ado about nothing

The weather is getting hotter nowadays, which is kinda abnormal since year end usually brings the monsoon season along with it.

Or am I getting my memories mixed up with my younger days up north? When I was elated at the smell and sight of downpour... simply because it would mean that chances were that the area around my school would be flooded and I can spend the rest of my morning(s) snuggled under my warm blanket.

It’s funny how sometimes we are unable to see the forest from the trees… I guess I was young and naïve then that I wasn’t able to comprehend the impact of a bad monsoon.

Maybe at that time, I reckoned that the world did actually revolve around me.

I have to admit that until this day, I can’t say with certainty that I am all matured now – on occasions, I can still be as childish, snobbish and stubborn as ever.

Of late, most of us are griping about the scorching sun and how it never rains anymore. When for the past week or two we were cursing about how it keeps raining, especially in the evening, causing the traffic to be horrendous during rush hour.

Well, I guess God must be up there thinking that we are a bunch of whiners who are too damn difficult to please. Since He can’t please everybody, so why bother?

I personally always complain that I don’t have enough time, especially for my beauty sleep. Even if I was to be given extra 3 hours a day, I honestly doubt that I will have enough time to do all the things that I wanna do.

It's now quarter to 1 a.m. and although I am very much aware to the fact that I actually have less than 5 hours of snooze time left, I am still here typing away… Damnit! I need to get my hands on a time machine. Seriously.


“Our generation has an incredible amount of realism, yet at the same time it loves to complain and not really change. Because, if it does change, then it won’t have anything to complain about.” – Tori Amos
