war and peace

"war is the province of man"

uttered Eomer to Eowyn in the "Return of the King". the truth couldnt be expressed in any other better way. look at the breif history of man. ever since monkey evolved to man, people have been fighting for who knows how long. for food, survival, power, wealth, and whatever petty reason people come up with, war is as much linked to mankind as society and logical thinking. it is the one true field on which man can come to terms with his bestial nature, and where a sane and seemingly meek person can somehow morph into a maniac.

ok, enough with all the cheem(deep) thoughts.

what i have been doing lately amounts to nothing much. digging up and watching old shows on dvds, cycling through the night from AMK to Hougang, trying (not really hard) to cut down smoking, the odd flipping through ads for jobs, yup, nothing much these days.

talking about cycling, i usually stop by a couple of points in my usual cycling route. usually, these stop points are for a smoke break. there is this 1 stop however that i spend more than sufficient time to smoke and rest. its at the nearby park's pavilion. its a quiet place with not much people traffic, save for the usual joggers and maids bringing kids to play during evenings, but overall, its a pretty secluded little haven; which is surprising really, 'cos its next to a main road, a school and a bus stop.(although there are the odd horny young lovebirds making out at night in a dark corner of the park) but the seclusion suits me fine, its like a little piece of heaven for me. the place is so quiet, so serene, one cant help but feel at peace there. when i'm there, its like the whole weight of some unknown burden lifted from me, and my mind is flooded with serene thoughts, none of the bile and anger surfacing.

its getting hard nowadays to find a place that can make me so relaxed, its almost godsend, only that i dont really believe in any of those stuff.
