LETTERS FROM THE LIVING
Saturday, March 10, 2007
Yeah! Start to appreciate life once more when you realize that you are able to read newspapers, watch tv or even visit my blog! No, I'm not posting a touching article or an inspirational anecdote. The fact that you are alive and reading this pseudo-crap now is a cumulation of both God's wonderful blessing and your will to survive...
Looking at the happenings here in the States and back home in Singapore is simply chilling. Witnessing tornados, hurricanes, horrific bus crash, tremors on TV are jolting. And me and some of my frens accidentally trespassing into a ghetto and watched policemen taking down a suspect and getting out alive is miraculous!
Well, I have to also survive an avalanche of homework, readings, quizzes and exams for these couple of weeks till Spring Break! For your info, we're heading to Florida, Miami, the Bahamas and Orlando during the one week holiday!! Till then, I am busy with my last-ditch efforts to study for quizzes, and hand in assignments...
The past weekend was a great outing to the Smoky Mountains. We stayed in a wonderful wooden cabin and had bbq. We also went for a short trek up one of the snow-covered mountain ridges on the Apalachian Trail, saw a lunar eclipse at the Fontana Dam and went to see waterfalls in Cherokee where the famous Red Indians first reside.
Midweek was even more exhilarating as I went to watch a heavy metal concert with my rommies, Robert and Tommy. We tried a bison burger before the gig and it was delicious. The concert lasted 4 hours as we saw four different bands captivating us with mindblowing performances! The atmosphere was indescribable and I witnessed some of the craziest shit you can imagine. We went home thrashed, strungout and literally deaf. (I was falling asleep with a constant ringing in my ears mind you!)
Here are some pics to illustrate what I meant:
























Can't wait for Spring Break!! Argh!!!
