Life and Death (Part 3)

"You...!" He could felt her anger slowly building up.

"What's wrong? You seem like you had just met 'death'..." He did not expect a life of fire coming to his way. "Woah! Lady, calm down. Don't you know how to greet a pal?" Oddly, the fire did not spread, nor did it actually burn off anything. Huh, she really must be life.

"Why are you here?" She asked.

He did not directly answer the question, however, "They said life is full of surprises, and what is more surprising than having death's visiting?" Another fireball came to his way. Seriously, could she not randomly throw a fireball at him when he was trying to talk?

"Leave this place at once!" They had a battle. It did not take really long for it to end. Sure, Death knew that both he and Life's power are evenly match, perhaps Life had isolated herself for too long, she had a hard time fighting with him. Maybe he should had shown some mercy to her. She, after all, was still his queen.

"Don't you know it is rude to just barge into someone's place without an invitation?" The queen gave him glare daggers. He decided to take that as a moment of peace between them and lower down his scythe.

"I'm sorry, death was never invited to any else where, so he just couldn't stop being rude," he shrugged.

"..." He can't tell what is going on inside the queen's mind. Her highness won't stop staring at her. He decided to say something else.

"It seems that what I am looking for isn't here. Well then, we will meet again." The goddess of Life hears this in shocked, "Looking for someone? How dare you hunt my-" The goddess of Death has disappeared in front of her eyes before she could finished her sentences. The queen stare at where Death once stood in silence.

Death return to their home, the underground, and would not stop thinking about his new found information.

If Death is curious of Life, then the same goes to the opposite.

Life and Death (Part 2)

It was a strange encounter, and he did not plan this at all,as if he would intend to do so. It has been decades since the queen has been seen again, and he had not even met the queen before. Yet there she stood, beautiful than anything he had seen before, so elegant, so fragile. Oh but how irony it is;-

-That Life hates Death, and Death knows that too.

Death may not have met the Goddess of Life personally before this, he know of her of course, but the closest he had with life was only under certain occasions when life and death are both present. For example, when a birth of a child and a soul of a mother that needed to be reap was occurred in the same room. The pulse of her magic, the sensation of 'life'. It was all too familiar.

How did he not realise it earlier? Why had he not notice the barrier's magic when he destroyed it? Why did it only come into hi sense, after he saw 'her' standing in front of his eyes? He wondered if it was fate or just incredibly ironic, that after an age of hiding, it was Death who comes knocking.

Their first encounter was not quite pleasant,or you could say it was not quite heart 'warming' either. He remembers that moment when he walked through the barrier when he saw the Goddess of Life, they were both stunned. He did not expect her and he believes she thought so too. When they both had finally come to realization of each other's identity, she struck first.

Life and Death (Part 1)

It was a strange encounter, and until this day he still remembers it as clear as a pure soul could have get. It was just as if it happened yesterday, but in reality they had met a few weeks ago- according to the overworld's time anyway. It was just a few weeks ago;-

-When Death met Life itself.

Long ago, when Death wasn't created yet, when living creatures of Earth had still kept their immortality, Earth was a peaceful place. It's a beautiful day outside, birds are singing, flowers were blooming, a perfect day for a cup of tea, until the humans ruined everything.

Goddess Life has always loved her creations, her children. However, when her children started to turn against the gods, everything changed.The intelligent humans foolishly thought they could survive without the gods, they thought they could abandon their parents. In the end tragedy happened,the gods lost their only child and their beloved Acolyte of Faith, the only god child and the first created human child the gods adored dearly.

The Father Ruler, God of the Skies, Painfully announced the creation of Death in order to restore the world's balance. However the queen did not take her husband's decisions lightly, she could not accept having the thought of seeing her children die in front of her eyes. She blamed her husband for creating death, she blamed Death for the cause of the destruction of her children.

So she left, disappeared and was never to be found again. Rumours said she was hiding in the overworld, secretly creating life, but none had found her. Who knows that after years later, she would be found again? And that out of any other person that it could be, it would be him, Death itself that knock upon Life's door?

It was as if fate have planned it all out.

To the one in my group

I saw your blog post and... I know this is late, but is better than nothing. I know if non of us speak something, or even reply to you, our friendship will be over, because I can tell that you are slowly drifting away from us. I've seen these situation over and over again. At the same time, I know non of us will walk up to you, because we are not the type who will talk to you face by face. So I guess is time for me to step up and speak for the rest of us, while I'm behind this screen.

There is nothing to be sorry with being yourself. I can't say for the others, but as your friend and part of the study group member, I can assure you that I (and everyone else in the study group too) don't hate you. Sure you are weird, but aren't all of us weird? Everyone is unique in their own way, an individual of a whole. That's what got us together in the first place, don't you agree?Yes, you drag us down, horribly, but it is our job to pull you up. This is a study group after all, that's what friends are for. We all know you are trying hard to change yourself, but lets be honest here, in our eyes, we see no effort from you. There's a lot of place you could have improve, and we wanted to help you. We did hint you, but you never get the idea, because you are too caught up with your own self that you IGNORE us. Could you at the very least, listen to us?

You don't feel sorry for being yourself, you don't feel sorry for not able to appease those around you, because all those sorry you'd said? Is meaningless. Words do nothing, only action does. I'm not the type who keep remembering your mistakes, you are the one who keep giving me the idea of your mistakes, where it comes to the point that it gets stronger and stronger in my memories. All those good things about you? I remember them, but please, do not abuse the good within you. Use them wisely, not blindly. Nobody seems to care? Well we do, you know the one who hated you the most in the group? She actually cares you more than me, than anyone else in the group, but seeing you not progressing at all, it pricks her more than anything. Eventually the pricks became too annoying, and it slowly turned into hatred.

You've came to terms with yourself and acknowledged the fact that you can't change entirely? I'll use Integrity's words for this: Bullsh*t. It takes a lot of willpower to fight yourself for a better change? Well I'll transfer Kindness' words to you: the problem is you don't want to learn. You always think that it's basically not your fault. Remember the time when you said your parents scolded you for wasting your time? You said that your parents is too much. But think about it, you are the one who did not use your time wisely. All you did is to sleep, and talks about Jesus in class, no offence. Have you seen how Bravery has been acting when you are not beside him? He is tired of waking you up every 5 seconds, he is not me, he don't have the perseverance to wake you like how I wake you up in Physics Lab. What was the word my perseverance buddy and Patience said in Chinese? They don't have the eyes to look at you anymore.


Your ignorance has cause most of us to give up on you. Your self-centre issue has ignite our annoyance. But if you would change a little bit more... at least listen to our advise, maybe everyone will treat you the same like before. Please, do not turn your back against us, we just want to help.

Where have my creativity gone to?

Today I open up my laptop, hoping to write something. However, when I put my fingers on the keyboard I realise my mind is blank. I have nothing to write at all, no inspirations, no stories, nothing. Where have my creativity gone to?

I search for my trusty blue book. Its an old notebook that I had for how long? Probably 3 or 4 years, it has been with me ever since I have fallen into the world of words. Inside is full of my handwriting, notes and more notes on every page, filled with my creativeness.

I flip the pages, nothing in the book satisfied me. I want something new, not stories that I had thought before! I read every page carefully, hoping something new will pop up in my mind. Nothing still. Frustrated, I throw the book on the table.

Heads on the keyboard and mind on the other side, searching for my inspiration. Anything works, something, just anything. Hours pass by and not a single word is on the screen. I surrender. Miss Inspiration is so hard to pleased. Maybe I should take some rest.

I went on to my social media and start chatting with one of my group chats. I'd joined too much group chats for the past few days, most of them are Roleplay group chats. Where you act with others as a certain character. Someone is role-playing something about a dream, that reminds me of a dream I had dreamt few days ago. Perhaps I could use those...

Finally having an idea, i immediately switch to my work and starts to type.

10 facts about colours

You’ll just end up frustrating yourself after giving in to the temptation. On the other hand, the color blue is the least appetizing color.

You’re both wrong. Can you imagine if our brains are not functioning that way? Chances are, our world would probably look like a scene from The Matrix. So hooray for brains!

The Wow Factors

Wow Factors : A set of properties belonging to an object that pleasantly surprise a watcher. From commercials to cool electronics, the wow factor is an important thing to consider when designing it.

-Sources from Urban Dictionary

Truth to be told, everything could be a wow factor to everyone. From a good book to an awesome movie. From a fun fact of something you like to a chaotic situation in your life. Everything could make you go all 'WOW' mode. Sometimes it doesn't have to be a big thing that surprises you, like how when Iphone was first introduce to the world. It could be when you are imagining things like cars can fly like birds and such (which by the way, flying cars are real), or when you found a great scenery from the nature. To me everything is a surprise, the world is big, you may never know the world completely, because the world itself IS unknown. Why don't you try and find your own 'wow' factors?
