Lost the view of the path ahead

Lately I feel that I have lost my way. Strange, it has never happened to me before. I feel that I am not doing something I love. I feel that there is an emptiness in my life, a void, which I do not know how to fill. For the first time in my life, I have become unsure of my future, because the present is so unstable. Life doesn't seem as clear-cut as it seemed before.

Complications do rise at the worst times. I cannot imagine another time when having such a crisis would affect me in a worse way. The most frustrating thing about all this is, everyone I speak to say that I'm not concentrating enough or that its normal. If its normal then I wouldn't be concerned about it would I? .....Grrr.....

I suppose I can take solace in talking to myself, namley on this blog right here, strange as it may sound. It seems like the only place I can find comfort nowadays is where no one rarely looks....

Suffering from the cold.....

There is a funny story that my brother once told me when I was younger. One day Kuda Ahammadhee (common name in Maldives, often one of an elderly person) boarded a plane for his first aerial trip. His command of English was not so strong, however, he was confident that he would be perfectly fine, as was really excited about the trip. Once he was settled comfortably in his seat, he waited for the plane to take off. The seat next to his was promptly occupied by a young caucasian woman.

Soon after take off, Kuda Ahammadhee noticed that the young woman next to him was shivering visibly, even under her blanket. He looked at her questioningly, not knowing what to ask. The young woman guessed his intentions and quietly said in-between chattering teeth, "I am suffering from cold." To this Kuda Ahammadhee smiled, and extended his right hand towards her, and says calmly, "I am Kuda Ahammadhee from Maldives."

Sure made me laugh my guts out first time I heard it. Then again, I was only like 10 then :)

Earth Needs a Hero; You're It....

I'm speechless...well, almost. Halo 2 is absolutely breathtaking! I actually bought an xbox just to play this amazing game as well! (My birthday gift to myself ...heheh) I started playing it a few weeks ago (so sorry for not updating the blog) and it is sooooo good! The story-line is so captivating as well as exciting, and the multiplayer, both online and system-link just ROCKS!!!!
This has truly got to be one of the best games ever. Right now I'm quite a bit through the campaign on Normal, and after I finish I will try the famed (and almost impossible) Legendary mode.

The timing for Halo 2 is actually quite bad for me...hehe. My exams and my university interviews are just around the corner, so it's taking some willpower to limit my xbox frenzies to the weekends.Things are looking alright in general :)

Waiting patiently is going to pay off....

Halo 2 is coming to UK!!! Really can't wait till wednesday when it comes to gaming shops. I've already pre-ordered my collector's edition version (with a pimping metallic case) and am setting up an xbox live account. Although there are certain obstacles which I do not wish to mention (obstacles, u know I'm talking about you thingys) I think I can get it working soon :)

Got my exam results.....They were okay, I guess. Maybe if I tried harder in Maths that would have helped....Don't know what's happening to myself these days. Some days I feel so depressed about nothing I cant even hit the books when I'm supposed to...

Sigh. Time to think? None left
