Ever gone to the store and searched the shelves for your favourite product, only to find it's not there? Well, I have. At the first attempt, I'd console myself by thinking,'Oh, it's probably just that this particular outlet has run out of stock for the product.' And so I'll visit several other shops, expecting that I'd surely find the product I was looking for there. Only to be disappointed a few dozen times before arriving at the conclusion that the product might have been discontinued. Now, is it just me or do many of you face this too? Because it seems to me like so many products that I love end up getting discontinued after some time. Perhaps I have a peculiar taste. Or that corporations just feel the need to keep churning out new products to appear productive and successful. A sign that the things in this life are so very much transitory. Then again, maybe I speak in haste, and the actual fact is that companies are constantly improving their ranges of p...

"Why?" The most common question posed to God - the mysterious Being from whom our very existence flows. And in the absence of a tangible reply, the only plausible answer seems to be: "Because I am God, and you are not."

Zazu. I just rewatched Disney's The Lion King movie last week. I guess that must be why I'm drawn to this blog... something that apparently happened by accident (please see my last blog post to understand what I mean). It's a visual journal challenge! Haha. First time I've ever heard of the term. But well, no matter, it's something worth exploring. My creative muscles have become lethargic and almost non-functional for what feels like ages, so maybe a little help in reviving their abilities would really do me some good. So here's how it goes. I read a challenge posted by this blogger (Zazu), and then do it. More details here . Anyway, the blog looks somewhat dead but I'll take the last recent entry, which was in July here . Well, if I'm in a good mood later I'll post photos. I have a nice camera now to use anyway teehee ;)

I was surfing random blogs on Blogspot just awhile ago and I noticed that the so-called random blogs that I came across consisted mostly of either doting mothers writing about their families, craft enthusiasts, gardeners and fashionistas. Is it just me or does Blogger perhaps offer "random" blogs based on demographics? Because I don't seem to be coming across any teenage blogs, although I feel there should be plenty out there. Hmm.  

Someone asked me recently what it's like to be a Writer. I guess I should address that. One of the first things I'd like to say up front is that it's probably not what you think it is. Maybe you envision it's glamourous, full of events, excitement, scandals, quirky colleagues... the list goes on. But well, hate to burst your bubble, but it's not any of the above. Mmm. Except for the quirky colleagues bit. Most of the time while you're busy attending important corporate strategic planning meetings or out dealing with potential clients trying to close a sales deal, your poor friend the Writer is stuck in the office, staring at the computer screen with a web browser window open and a tab each for the dictionary, thesaurus and Google. Even the Designer is much better off than the Writer. Because at least the Designer (regardless of the kind of designs he/she does) gets to see colour and graphics and - for the luckier ones - moving objects. But the Writer? Al...
