Life’s journey is full of crossroads. At some point in our lives, we reach a point where we have to make choices. Choices that will make us who we are in the next few years, if not a lifetime. I’ve been through a crossroad few years ago. I made choices, set my goals…worked for them, I took some risks and suffered the consequences. I lived my life in what I think is best for myself. However, all endeavors proved to be chasing of the wind….Futile!

When everything seems to go wrong, SMILE seems to be the last thing in my mind. It’s so frustrating to know that you are like travelling along a road where everyone seems to be driving the opposite direction. Changing the mindset of people around us in the secular world is indeed a hard sell. I never wanted to change anybody overnight, but I am certain that there are certain values that we more or less (should) share. Nonetheless, I am starting to believe otherwise. I still could not figure out why some people are acting in their own ways - which I find deviant…erratic. Or maybe it’s just me.
I used to believe that no matter how difficult some people may seem, there will always be room for goodness in their heart. And no matter how minute that space is…I believed it’s powerful enough to dispel the refuse away.
True to its season, May is indeed marred with rainy afternoons. Heavy rains that is. And the second day of world pyro olympics is no exception. This time, the rain poured relentlessly right when the show is about to begin. To my surprise, the rain did not keep Canadian pyrotechnicians (Pyro Studios) from painting the sky with flowers, peonies, brocades, palm trees, flower bouquets, spirals, bees and all. (I’d bet you’ve never recognized those…I hardly did myself, I was just guessing…hehehe)
