2012?

Nostradamus predicted that the world would come to an end. Our world, right now, as we know it. Looking at all the calamities that has happened recently, one cannot stop oneself from thinking, maybe, JUST maybe, this may be true. Floods in Pakistan, volcanic eruption in Iceland, coal mine blast in China, then the flood in Queensland, earthquake in Christchurch. Mentioned are the only few that made the headlines on the news front. And only within a span of a year. Singapore didn't lose out too. We had a little drama of our own down Orchard if you can remember. Most recently, the tsunami that hit Japan. Devastation, desperation, deaths. As if one misfortune isn't bad enough, they now have to deal with two or more; radiation and rescue efforts. When I think about what is going on in Japan, I can't stop but to think that maybe, just maybe, if they had stopped whaling, this wouldn't have happened. Haha. I know I'm being stupid. I just happen to associate Japan and whaling and how cruel the Japanese can be. Like how I associate China and it's misfortunes with what they do to mother earth. In striving to become world's largest economy, they strip, blast, destroy, you name it, they have done it all. Doesn't help that the fact they eat anything and everything that walks. I am being biased. But look, I am making a little sense here. What goes around, does come around. After all, the world is round.

And yes, I have swayed out of topic. Again. End of the world. Yes. What do you think? I think it could happen. Looking at the direction the world is going right now. Terrorism, civil war, natural disasters, economy uncertainties, etc. If the world does come to an end one day, I sure hope I'll be at the comfort of the people I love. :)
