Imagine

This is one of the songs with the best lyric. In my opinion.
I was smitten with this song long time ago, and upon chance to hear it again,
this time, again, really ponder through the lyric, but I look at it a bit differently.

Average monkey. Or... average weird monkey, like me, will love to imagine a world
without countries and religions. I don't mind countries, one of the things I love to do is to learn or read about other's cultures and uniqueness.
On the other hand, I might be in the minority for thinking that the absence of religions will make the world a better place. We need to learn common sense good and bad, right or wrong to live side to side, but we shouldn't differentiate and divide ourselves the way it is happening now. After all, religions are interpreted and practiced by human, one single animal species that make the most mistakes, driven by the most greed, most capable of cruelty and violent among their own species and other species.
Yah.. I think we’ll be fine without that.

Now I ponder about another phrase in the song “Imagine no possessions”
No need for greed or hunger”
I guess in the past I didn’t really give the first sentence a long thought. (Not that I say we have to ponder through every song lyrics as way of killing time. It’s just me being me, my brain is randomly scattered that I think about random things. All the time. Many times too much for my own liking.)
If I can say confidently that religion doesn’t matter to me, I can’t say the same for possession, and I’m sure, neither do majority of everyone else.
It’s the urge to decorate my shoes with those cute buttons that are honestly not really applicable for my age (but do I look like I care if anyone think so? ;p), it’s the dream of going places and doing things, it’s the crave of Indonesian food, it’s a sadness of seeing your favorite white top with chilly stain and the possessions of those you love and care about. How would I ever let it go? How could someone can be completely detached? Detach from earthy possessions, that I’m sure can be achieved at certain level, although I’m nowhere near. But detach from emotional possessions is something I can’t even… imagine.

Ah well..
I really do respect the writer of the lyrics.
I should continue ponder his other work that has excellent writing quality also.
Another one of the most straightforward lyrics: Jealous Guy
I’m not really a fan of John Lennon or Beatles but I love these two song’s lyrics.

Paralel Universe

April Foooooool!!!

Nah. Does anyone still doing prank on April Fool?
My friend said people in Hong Kong still believe so, but I don't know how updated is he.

Not because of April Fool, not because today is Thursday and tomorrow is starting of long weekend and Easter and my long awaited holiday. Or because currently I'm sitting alone in the office and I have been trying to work since morning, but thanks to me being at a milestone of work I can take a little bit of breath or thank to my sleepy eye and holiday mood I prefer to log in blogger and type something random that comes to my mind.

Paralel Universe.

Neat.

If I didn't spend too much time reading rubbish since morning, I would go around internet to read up some interesting theory about paralel universe. But since I have tired eyes (reading on screen is taxing to eyes!), screw theories and histories, I just want to bluff myself at the moment.

Have you ever wonder how it is like if you take different path on your life and where would you end at this moment?
Just like the detective book I read during childhood 'Pilih Sendiri Petualanganmu' or whatever translated 'Choose Your Own Adventure'., when you can pick what you want to do and see your ending.

Somehow I found the book suck big time. First, it is too thin to qualify as a book, second everything is random, they can anyhow make up about anything and you just leave your faith to the writers with ridiculous progress in the story. How would I know there is a freaking deadly spider behind this door, or eight-headed snake that would chew my face when I walk that way? Somethingg like that. Yah, I always end up dying in every scenario. Not fun.

Maybe it would be fun if it's indeed a quality detective story that weight your choice based on clues and riddles.. don't you think... not too difficult riddle that you might need to bang your head to but simple riddles like that Professor Layton thingy.. Layton or Clayton? Although the movie is out, it's been a while since I woke up until wee hour in the morning trying to solve his puzzles.

So.. would it be different if you take different path in life?

How if I didn't pass the test to enter my Uni? I would have met my husband earlier in my other Uni choice that he happened to be in.
How if he took the offer to study in my high school? I would have met him earlier.
How if I decline my chance to work in Batam? I wouldn't have met him.
How if we didn't suck it up to difficult lives there? I would have been somewhere in Central Kalimantan and he would have been back to Jakarta.

How if I didn't pick Architecture as first choice when trying to enrole in my Uni?
I would have been rich. I'm quite sure. Must be better than now. Architecture sucks.
Noted that. Spread the words. Tell your kids.
Hue he he he...

How if I accept that invitation? That flower? That offer? I would have married someone else.
How if I pursue my photography interest since the beginning of my interest? I might be in somewhere cool, or begging on the street?

How if my mom really had the fund to put me in ballet school? I wouldn't be as robotic as now, or I might be the most robotic ballerina wanna be ever.

How if I never pass my very-short-phase-feminim-teenage year?
Nahh. This one I would pass. Fast. Regardless what route I take.

Yah. It could be it.
Regardless what route you take, it could lead into the same thing.
A friend I know (Yalah! Otherwise why would I say friend?!) loves this movie called Sliding Door. I don't really remember the details, but something about paralel world scenario that somehow lead to...errr... different/same ending? What is my point?
Or Butterfly Effect.. (I hate Asthon Kurcher, but I like this Sci-Fi)..

Welll... Guess we never know... ?

I actually feel that this post is not complete, no ending, but somehow I feel too sleepy to continue.
Yah... being me.

*What if I decide to continue the story and find whole new level of theory????*
