the thorn bird



the thorn bird


“There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it leaves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the savage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. And, dying, it rises above its own agony to outcarol the lark and the nightingale. One superlative song, existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in His heaven smiles. For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain… Or so says the legend.”

still..

current mood : still upset Every children biggest dream would always be make their parents proud. Including me. But how? Many whispers came to my ear that said, "Go ahead and find your place at your Dad's Co.", "Why wasting more time with useless job?", "Don't ever try to work in a -desperately-needing-investment Bank!", and blah and blah and blah. Dude I really wanna show my Dad that I can earn myself money. Now my new car is on its way to my garage doesn't mean I'm fully happy. I mean, I feel very grateful with my Dad's present, but I realize that it will burden me. How long until I can earn my own money?

This "part-time job" means SPG (Sales Promotion Girl), or Bridesmaid (at someone else's wedding), or Wedding Organizer's crew. That's all we can do for our status as a under-graduate student. Nothing else more and nothing else better...

if the house always wins, why gamble?

As we all aware of, every single person I know are busy talking about the 2010 FIFA WORLD CUP. After a huge ceremony last week at South Africa, men in our houses were suddenly disappeared. Either for watch the ball game with their friends or spend the night at the coffee shop, or even just watch at home, they were disappeared. Both physically & mentally. Yes ladies, for one wholly month. I don't know what's wrong with their anxious & curiosity to watch it. But it seems, some of them (or all of them?) are taking too seriously about this issue.
