You hear horrible things

I went for my lasik today. I did my left eye. A nurse who was attending to me tried to assure me that everything would be okay. I told her that I heard many horrible things about Lasik. She said, you always hear horrible things about many things, like child birth, but you still see many people do it.

I laughed. I thought it was funny but later tragic. People go through life. They know how hard it is. But they are still keen on looking for the right partners to procreate, spawning people like themselves to perpetuate the miserable lives they lead. I wonder why.

Life isn't beautiful. My songs do not tell me so. The movies I watched don't tell me that either. The bible is a constant reminder that Life will have trials and tribulations. I wonder where I got that from that idea from. You look forward to adulthood as a child thinking that as long as you are in control, everything that is in your steering will be perfect. But you found out that the forces are bigger than you. Life isn't that beautiful. Again, where did I get that from? From the TV I watched when I was a kid? What did I watch? Oh, spiderman? No lar. don't think so. Don't think Parker thinks that his life is beautiful.

Life is ugly. How can it not be in this fallen world? So, we know that? Then why are we so keen on finding the right partner so as to produce more who would suffer in this fallen world? I am not quite sure what to think, really?

I actually asked my mom that question yesterday. "So ma, since you are so unhappy, why do you want to produce a kid? To make her suffer like you have? Why huh?"

My mom didn't take that question too well. "YA! I regret!!!" She almost screamed. Wow. so fierce! It was just a philosophical question ma!! Walay, she didn't stop there. She actually scolded me. Advice to all the unemployed: don't stay at home when your mom is around.

Ok, better not think too much, My eye is quite painful. Awww.... (you see, one of many sufferings to endure in life?!!!)

I was awoken by hunger. I was really really really hungry. There was no food. Mac's not opened at five am, though were the hawker centres. So I had a cup noodle. At 5:30am, IHT arrived. So I read the paper, surfed the web and ate my noodles all at the same time. My mom woke up and sat down beside me in the living room. Refreshing. Morning air was calm and cool. Sometimes, there was a breeze. It was all very nice. So I opened itunes and played The Zephyr Song. That was when my mom got up and quickly walked to the dining room. She hates Red Hot Chilli Peppers. So there was just me in the living room, with ibook on my lap, IHT spread on the sofa. I would do this everyday from now on. 5:30am, the perfect morning starts. Plus, I want to get in the office by 7am when I start work. So got to start training my body now.

note to the fool: got the other eye done today. so now I've got perfect vision. so happy.
