..electric dragon drill..

So, it's Saturday morning and what am I doing? Haha I'm at the office "working" (I'm trying to, honestly I am!) while wondering why I am actually seriously thinking about starting a blog. To be honest, I have never really been fond of bloggers because, personally, I don't need to know what you've eaten in a day or whether you've seen (him/her/insert any applicable name here) and what conversations you've had complete with dialogue. But, after reading a few of my friends' blogs, i.e. REZA, I have to say, it's got me interested since he's got some pretty good thoughts down there. And for the most part, while I may include some of my personal life in this blog I promise it won't be along the lines of "today i had this to eat and then i went to this place and then that place and then i got into a fight and then....and then.....and then....." lol.

Anyhoo, if you're wondering about my title, "electric dragon drill" ahaha its because last night I watched the very awesome movie 'Dragon Tiger Gate', which, I have actually watched twice now, because it IS pretty good. Plus, the characters have these cool "power" moves like "golden mask" or "the black pagoda" or "eight staying (is it staving?) palms". Haha the names are quite funny if u think bout em for awhile.. but back to the movie, as all action movies are, storyline = average, action = of coz good lah.. but as some ppl pointed out throughout the whole movie, the characters would be wearing the exact same clothes as when they were young and they had the saaaaaaammmeee hairstyles.. I personally, don't like guys with long hair.. but its not like I'm complaining unlike some smelly people next to us who reminds me of the typical, ignorant kind of people that you seem to find here. What really annoyed me was the way that whenever they showed the temple, or the statue of the Buddha, they'd start snickering. And I ask you, what is so funny bout that?? And it wasn't just the people sitting next to me, it was people sitting on the other side of the row next to Didi (my sister) who, were probably smelly too. In fact, the whole cinema was smelly. People, if you know you're going to sweat, and you're not playing football or any sport for that matter, I beg of you, please do NOT wear those football jerseys as they do not absorb sweat. Resulting in one stinky person. Now imagine atleast a third or 2 thirds of the cinema consisting of smelly people wearing smelly football jerseys. *stink city*

*breathe in, breahe out*

Moving on and away from the B****fest up there..

While I was at the cinema last night, they were showing all the trailers for the upcoming movies and one movie that seemed really interesting to me was the movie with Keannu Reeves and Sandra Bullock in it. ('The Lake House' is it?) Basically, it's a romance film, and the tagline is (courtesy of imdb.com), 'what if you found the one you were meant for...but you lived two years apart?' Interesting..no? While this whole concept is entirely, quite impossible. It uses the whole theme of fate, which, I feel is entirely possible. People argue that you make your own fate, but at the same time it is because of who YOU are, (which, to a degree is uncontrollable) that decides what road you will take to get to your fate. How many times have you found it hard to put into words or explain logically why you made certain decisions? or how many times have people or a certain person come into your life, teaching you something that you probably never would have learnt unless you met that specific person?

While mulling over this whole idea of fate and whatnot, i remembered something that I read in a friends blog a few months ago, called 'synchronicities'. If you want to read the entire thing complete with possible scientific theories, or just in more detail i got all of this from http://www.crystalinks.com/synchronicity.html

"Synchronicities are people, places or events that your soul attracts into your life - to help you evolve or to place emphasis on something going on in your life. The more 'consciously aware' you become of how your soul creates - the higher your frequency goes and the faster your soul manifests. Each day your life will become filled with meaningful coincidences - synchronicities - that you have attracted - or created in the grid of your experiences in the physical.

There are no accidents - just synchroncity wheels - the gears of time - the wheels of time - the

wheel of karma - wheels within wheels - the alchemy of creation - the Philosopher's Stone - Sacred Geometry=SG=StarGate - evolution of consciousness.

Do be careful. Not all synchronicities are positive. Sometimes these lead to learning lessons - when you are deceived ito thinking that is road to take at that moment in time. This is not always the case - so do be careful. If you are dysfunctional - a drama person - your will attract - manifest dysfunctional peole and events.

Synchronicities can also go nowhere as they just occur in someone's life to make a point.
You must look at the bigger picture of the synchronicty - think outside the box - not at the actual event. Look at the underlying facts when the synchronicity occurs to be sure you know why you attracted that person/ situation into your life. "

Interesting huh? There's more. Here are a few examples of synchronicities:

-A well-known example of synchronicity involves plum pudding. It is the true story of the French writer Emile Deschamps who in 1805 is treated to some plum pudding by the stranger Monsieur de Fontgibu. Ten years later, he encounters plum pudding on the menu of a Paris restaurant, and wants to order some, but the waiter tells him the last dish has already been served to another customer, who turns out to be M. de Fontgibu. Many years later in 1832 Emile Deschamps is at a diner, and is once again offered plum pudding. He recalls the earlier incident and tells his friends that only M. de Fontgibu is missing to make the setting complete, and in the same instant the now senile M. de Fontgibu enters the room by mistake.

-You meet someone who interests you and touches your soul. Through synchronicity - that person seems to come into your life over and over again. You begin to feel a destiny with that person. You begin to think with your heart instead of your head. You connect with that person. In some cases the karma between the two people is positive - but in many cases you have attracted that person into your life for a learning lesson whether you are aware of it or not.

- There are in your life when financial difficulties seem to have no end. Yet there is always enough money for basic expenses...rent, food, utilities. Finances seem to appear where and when they are needed.

- You walk into a book store not knowing what to buy, and the book you need falls from a shelf and practically hits you over the head.

- You feel depressed and can't find focus in your life and the next person you talk you says something that brings you the guidance you need.

- Everyone's favorite.....You drive to a place where parking is "next to impossible" and someone pulls out of a parking spot or it is just waiting for you.

Although scientists out there are very critical when it comes to claims such as these, I have to say, that I am a very firm believer. Because I genuinely feel that there are some people in the world that have been put here for me to meet to either test me or teach me or in some way affecting my life whether it be a positive or negative outcome. I have come across objects such as books or jewellrey that if I had not bought at that specific time, I would not have seen ever again. Or in some cases, have been drawn to something so much and felt so differently about it, yet didn't get it and until now even after trying and going to the same place over and over again, have never seen it again.

While yes, these ideas of fate and synchronicities are not entirely explainable, there are many things out there that science cannot entirely explain. Hehe at this point in time I must admit I am not much of a scientist nor am I fond or very much interested in science. =)

Haha it is now 11:05 and I've got less than an hour of work left. Yay! my weekend can officially begin. And to think this has only been my FIRST week of work. hah! O well.. that's how the cookie crumbles. Until next time.

=)

p.s. I'll try and put up pictures soon.. i know it probably looks quite boring now..
