fortune telling anyone?

Recalled that recently I was at MOS Burger wif my friend when a stranger came up to him and offered to read his fate..this chinaman who started looking at my friend's face..he went like this"..I have a secret that I want to share wif you today..".. being the nice friend that I am..hee..i just stood by while he was being conned by the obviously bogus fortune teller..hmm..(wonder when my friend will start disowning me?!)..and i remembered being appalled that my rational friend would believe in something so unscientific and totally vague, untrue,inaccurate..until one fine day when my colleague brought her set of tarot cards to class and started being the friendly class fortunte teller..silly old me could not resist temptation and joined in the fun..hmm..I was asking abt Love..and when the cards revealled a less than wonderful prediction..my heart sank..and i remembered being quite affected by her words for the whole day..although I kept telling myself that it's probably not true..and that I am in control of my fate..hee..just thats the funny part abt the future and the lure of having a peek into it..is its uncertainity and our own desire for certainity that causes us to be so affected by it i guess..hee..so will you have your fortune told?

wanderlust..my on my..

The end of one week..signifying the beginning of a new one in hours to come..time flies when one is working and trying to juggle, maintain a half decent social life. finally had the time to sit down and read some papers..Sumiko wrote a rather touching article on the simple things in life..how something mandane can actually be the most momerable points of life..moments of absolute simpleness that you will forever look back upon.. could'nt help agreeing..but when I saw Brenda's blog on her travels as an air stewardess .. my wanderlust surfaces..London looks whimsical and breathtaking..and the other countries on my list..vertican city..japan..europe.. hmm..the jet-setting life..the simple life? Or am i just envious? Life wise..things are going great..still in training..although counting down to my OJT.. and finally giving myself a chance to experience the ups and downs..hmm..if only things can stay at this moment in time..but then..there is always my wanderlust.. :)
