Split Second Change

We may be in a status quo for a while or even for a long while, but, in a split second, the situation of our lives may change - for the better or for the worse, forever. Just like accidents, they happened so suddenly, when we least expected. Or even, good fortune. Like those people in the casinos who just hit the jackpot. In a blink of an eye, their lives are forever different.

Actions that we performed in one second could dictate the way our lives might turned out.

This could be scary, or, reassuring... depending on where you're coming from.

Hmmm...

View from my window



It's sometimes nice to just sit back, enjoy a cup of tea and look out the window...

Snake Temple, Bayan Lepas, Penang



I suddenly found myself at a lost when was required to think of a place to bring some visiting uncles to. My dad out-of-the-blue thought of the Snake Temple. One of my uncles who used to stay in Penang some 50-odd years ago could still remember the last time he visitted there (almost 60 years ago), so, it turned out to be quite a nostalgic trip for him.

I haven't been there for many years myself. I was surprised at the number of snakes that were there - there were more than I expected! And the crowd was bigger than I expected.


There were some signs of commercialization - as expected - pictures with snakes for a sum of money and a whole area with exotic looking snake which require a small token entrance-fee.

The Kuan Yin Shrine behind the main temple was a nice place to just walk around. There were a few trees in a protected area which has a small crowd of people hanging around. My dad later told me that they were snake-watching. There were actually snakes in the trees!

Hmm... sometimes it is interesting to re-visit places that have been kinda forgotten...

Caught up in life....

It's one of those things that if one is not careful of, one would be totally caught unaware. And by the time one is aware of its trickeries, time has passed us by and life would be as it seem for naught.

That is life and that is work. I have been afraid that I have been too busy with work to live life. And the past month or so of work had given some cause to my fear. I have been so caught up in work that there has been none for much of anything else.

That is a danger.

Time to think of more...
