Our miserable attempt:

Natural Selection

A shot at the dark, I deem that the world was a little fanatical experiment.. Im certain that the big man up there, and his group of friends were bored one day, n made the universe to give some sort of thrill or productivity to their existence. So.. they started out with creating pretty stars, and the nebula’s; caused them to explode, make more stars, and planets.. each with different properties. Good fun.. but then again, though Neil Armstrong gets a kick outa watching rocks and meteoroids, and galaxies and what have you not, after a while, it does get a little dull. Randomly, the mighty dude up there picked one planet and functioned, THE SIMS MICROGALECTICA (EARTH EXPANSION). But kudos to the brain for making Earth absolutely perfect for catering life. What are the odds of having a planet with such perfect properties to cater life; a) We’ve got just the right amount of Oxygen. Any more, we’d ignite a spark with the flick of ze pinky (not in a good way). B) H2O! oh so glorious H20. Though he did cheat certain aspects, like allowing water to be the only liquid to float when frozen, when all other liquids sink when frozen! Well, he had to do that to prevent Tsunami bombardment! , c) Perfect temperature , d) good atmosphere, e) hill n mountains to prevent tornado bombardment… ;and the list goes on, but we’d stop there. SO its definitely not a mere coincidence that Earth was PERFECT for habitating our bumz. Yes yes, though Miller-Urey’s experiment did prove the possibility of life on other planets, which is probably just another expansion package, it still cant be luck! Moving on, so then we had dinosaurs, but what good were they? They’re the modern equivalent of sea monkeys! Fun for a good coupla days, but lets face it, u wanna flush them down the toilet bowl after a while. SO we’ve got the cretaceous-tertiary extinction event and the Permian-triassic extinction event. Both expansion packs he got bored of.. And his latest creation? Homo Sapiens! He did take sometime to get to us homo’s.. Having to trial and error with monkeys, and australopithecus and poor old Turkana boy, he finally did a decent job at getting to us. We started out pretty normal, adam and eve, eating, learning, mating.. But lets face it, after a while, sea monkeys get boring. Point of this lil trip down SIMS UNIVERSAL EXPANSION pack? Lets bore the crap outa the lil man up there, and be good model citizens just to give him a new expansion pack to work on.. UFOinvasion package or Venusmiraculouslycoolingdownto inhabitlifesowecantaketripsdowntoourfriendlyneighbour or perhaps newmysticcreature package?

Divi dino..

Skeptic

My fav line “If we’re lucky we’ve got 80 years to live”.
80 years might seem bloody long, but when we’re dead, if there’s no heaven n hell, or rebirth or ghost or whatever not, 80 billion years of a dreamless sleep is bonkerz! Its so bizarre, in such a tinsy time on Earth, so much is done, learnt, experienced. The whole ‘god’ apparently gives a sense of direction to have some meaning in life? In the short span, we over spend analyzing, trying to earn money, trying to fit in instead of just living and experiencing and learning. We take things for granted, our family, friends, shopping, studying and look at them as a chore, asides from shopping. :D Most of us are born in this world with a decent life style. So we end up abusing it.
Nature vs Nuture. In childhood, life seemed so innocent, and the people around u, the things that happen, make u less n less naïve. Its bloodcurdling knowing that the path you take, the people u mix with, the environment u live in can determine whether ur the murderer or the murdered. Is the murderer guilty for just being and the wrong place at the wrong time in the wrong circumstances, since he/she was once a kid with the same naïve outlook on life;
It’s a long 80 years, and the older you are, the more you get why our folks call us a billion times from the bus stop to the MRT station 2 mins away. The world might be god’s greatest creation, but circumstances, environment and influence do create monsters out of us. It might sometimes be easier to be the murderer than the murdered, but its easier to shut the world off and live in a naïve world, taking what we have for granted..
