COMPARISONS.

In life, are we entitled to make comparisons hereafter, thereafter? For such comparisons can determine of the choices we make.

Why does the instrument that I wanted costs a smacking $640? Even my partner whoops in agony. If it weren't for the price, we would have snapped the instrument. With the apprehending of the nature of this instrument's country of manufacture and it's quality of make, that's why it is aptly priced to determine its superior long-lasting life. This instrument in question is of a reputed history. Care and maintenance of this instrument piece is a high demand, to ensure its lasting lusture & sound satisfaction. The small tiny details of its pads, springs and tabs all will determine how much love and care has been given all along. Rust will settle on its metal body. Moisture and dew will seep through the small pads. And maintenance calls for a professional at hand. In short, it is an instrument that needs patience & perseverance.

Compare: a friend's bagpipe costing at $3,000 custom-ordered from Scotland to a $200 eucalyptus trunk didgeridoo to my acquired instrument of $640.

Choice: a China origin instrument costing at $300++ to a Japanese origin instrument costing at $640.

I'd want both pieces if given the best choice. But I could only choose one. It had to be the Japanese manufactured Yamaha nickel-plated flute costing at $640. Dear, I have to settle for that piece because I want it. You'd say it's my choice too.

Wassalam.

SWEET CHILD IN TIME YOU'LL SEE THE LINE
THE LINE THAT'S DRAWN BETWEEN THE GOOD & THE BAD
SEE THE BLIND MAN SHOOTING AT THE WORLD
BULLETS FLYING TAKING TOLL
IF YOU'VE BEEN BAD, OH LORD I BET YOU HAVE
AND YOU MIGHT'VE BEEN HIT BY A FLYING LEAD
YOU'D BETTER CLOSE YOUR EYES AND BOW YOUR HEAD
AND WAIT FOR THE RICOCHET

THINGS I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF...

Are things that are of my interests. Bigger possibilties are those things that exists for a reason.

Things n. - 1.material object 2.any possible object of thought 3.preoccupation, obsession (have a thing about).

I have this thing for sweet looking charming guys (obsession).

I have things to do this whole stretch of weekend. It's the sort of thing which would make me strained & drained by the next Monday (preoccupation).

My wardrobe is full of trinkets & things. So does my other drawers and even my shoulder bag (material object).

Those things that I've thought about before, it comes about just like a flashing deja vu sighting. I've many thoughts about things. Till then, things appear themselves in-front of me pas invitation. The thing is, these things are those things that are worth about thinking! (possible object of thought).

The real things that I cannot get enough of are these following lists....

TV PROGRAMS
These days, tv life is a drag. Only with kind salvation could a miracle happen to revamp our local tv programs. While my favourite tv channel (Channel I) has wind up, I now only give faith to Arts Central nowadays. For local tv that is. Channel five is a real shocker! With that bad taste of local english dialect, I give a 'miss a turn' at watching their 'hardearned productions' at all. Please, man, we need better speakers/ better actors. It's a no-brainer as to why most viewers still prefer offshore productions credits due to its originality, humour, standard of performance & watchable quality. Of these, the things I cannot ever get enough of... :

Trigger Happy TV, Whose Line Is It Anyway, Reno 911, Jamie Oliver The Naked Chef, Witchblade, The OC, The Office, The Amazing Race, Stripperella, That 70's Show, Popular, Silk Stalkings (Mitzi Kapture my true idol!), Twin Peaks, Magnum P.I., Hunter, Dallas, Dynasty, Happy Days, Sesame Street, The Muppet Show....

Things were much happier those days when we're younger. These things can only create a realm of instant escapism particularly for adults seeking a sort of 'high' while sitting back & relaxing after a day's work.

BRICK-A-BRAT
Brick-a-brats can be classified as tangible things consisting of material objects. Things which I cannot get enough of... :

Perfumes, Make-up, brassieres, my p.c, my pirated & non-pirated collection of music CDs, shopping, shopping, shopping, shopping, shopping, shopping.

GLOBE TREKKING
Okay, not that I've sufficed enough to have gone trekking the entire globe. Then again, this is the ultimate thing which I can never ever be getting enough of. Travelling. For as long as & as far as I live, my life in travelling shall not stop at this dead-end island. What are the things that I cannot get enough of when I go travel at other people's lands... :

The beautiful sunrise in Sydney during touch-down at 7am, The never-ending bluish skies in Perth at summer, The splendid marina in Fremantle and having fish & chips along with natural sea scent, The hazy freezy mountains of Pilatus in Lucerne, Eating la vache qui rit & bread by the lake in Lucerne during autumn, green Swiss countryside, Looking at the moving winds in the clouds on an autumn night, Eating what-nots in where-nots of Europe, The people of Milan, The heartwarming shop owners in Perth, Buildings & Monuments in Milan, The palaces in Bangkok, Post 18th century state buildings in Thailand, Spending every baht on everything in Thailand, The fresh cut flowers of Cameron Highlands, The home-made apple pie at Blackheath before Blue Mountains, Trudging through overland in Java, Boja's cool peaks, The fat healthy corns from Brastagi, Memorable stay in Mindanao...

Still, I feel I ain't getting enough from all these. There're lots more still to be uncovered & explored. I don't only stay embedded to my grounds though I am one who holds my grounds tough enough. I still have the desire to venture away so as to broaden my horizons & sights, where the outlook of life is calculated in many different ways.

We can never get enough of things till we finally see Heaven.

Wassalam.
