Time, Good and Bad

Time sure fly by super fast.


It was only "recently" that 1998 brought SE Asia countries on their knees. Then President Suharto and DPM Anwar were unceremoniously removed from power, the scenarios still fresh in the mind. Those who lost their pants on CLOB shares I am sure are still having a bad taste in their mouths.


Then came 2001. The WTC were violently demolished along with close to 3000 lives.This was followed by the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan.


In 2004 humans witnessed, thanks to the internet, the awesome destructive power of a tsunami, one not seen this lifetime.


The 2008 Sichuan earthquake also remind us that life is fragile and short as it can be.


And in a flash, 2009 has only a month left.


Now for the ultimate year of "end-of-mankind" 2012...
