Okay, this post has nothing to do with my new obsession.
I'm just having cravings, lah.
Anyhow,
You know how, there has been rumours predicting Doomsday from eons ago?
Well, if you had the patience to view the above videos, you might be as disturbed / skeptical as I was. Okay, still am. Slightly bemused too, especially when kenny vowed to retreat into some cave and become an oracle amidst our project madness. Haha!
2012. That's like, 4 years from now!
Sigh, all that that I've yet to do.
Get my license and drive the grandma out.
Breathe underwater all over the world.
Get nitrogen narcosis.
Go on the Singapore Flyer/ Night Safari/ Hort Park/ The Haunted Mansion Thiru Was Talking About/ Gunther's(!)
Seen a whale/panda/desert/the world.
All the maudlin things I've yet to say.
When the BehEffEff and I had this convo about the EOTW, we wanted so much to just quit school and play for the (supposedly) last years of our lives. There was just this resounding question in both of our hearts: What the heck are we doing all these for?
Oh well, of course we didn't have the courage to quit school. There was just too much at stake... Or is there?
Anyhow! Look what I've found in my inbox today.
Prediction of the coming Disaster
Mr. Juseleeno, born in 1960(reportedly still alive in 2008), is a Brazilian who has made many predictions, and MOST have come to pass, including Princess Diana's death by car accident (which is instigated by someone near her and will probably unfortunately be written off as a car accident), 911 and the 2004 Indonesian tsunami. He sees the future in his dreams, and has an average of 3 to 9 such predictions per day. When he wakes up, he will write them down, and send warnings to those concerned.
If it concerns only a normal individual, he will write a letter to warn him/her. If it is a famous person(celebrity, politician etc.), or matters concerning the public, he will not only send it to the individual himself/herself, but also related agencies, government, and media. He urged the media to publicise these predictions, but the reply always went along the lines of rejection for fear of arousing public panic.
Future predictions:
2008, July: There will be an earthquake in Japan, which will cause a tsunami of 30 plus metres high to occur as well.
2008, 18th September: An earthquake with magnitude of approximately 9.1 will rock China , simultaneously causing a tsunami of more than 30 metres to occur, resulting in the deaths of more than 1 million people.
Although this huge earthquake will happen after the Olympics have ended, there will be a series of relatively smaller earthquakes occurring in China before the huge earthquake. The China government, which is more concerned with the success of the Olympics, will most likely neglect to employ appropriate cautionary measures, thus the high casualty rate. If the China government does not publicise the occurrence of these minor earthquakes and evacuate people, the number of deaths will be as predicted.
2008, 17th December: terrorist attack in America
2010: The temperatures in some countries of Africa could be as high as 58 degrees Celsius, and there will be a serious shortage of water.
2010, 15th June: The New York Stock Exchange market will fail, causing an international financial crisis.
2011: The research on the treatment of some cancers will be completed, but a new life-threatening virus will appear. People who are infected will die after only approx. 4 hours of coming into contact with the virus.
2013, 1st - 25th November: Research on treatment of cancers, except for brain tumors, will be completed. An earthquake, caused by volcanic eruptions, will happen on Bahama Island of the Canary Islands. A gigantic tsunami of roughly 150 metres will result. America mainlands, Brazil etc.
will be affected, with the tsunami pushing into the land as far as 15 to 20 kilometres. Before the occurrence of this gigantic tsunami, the sea/ocean water levels will sink by about 6 metres, and large flocks of birds will start to migrate.
2014: A small planet that has been gradually closing in on Earth might eventually collide with Earth, and this collision, if come to pass, will affect the survival of humans as a whole.
2015: By the mid of November, the average temperature of Earth could be as high as 59 degrees Celsius. Many people will die from the overheat, and international confusion and terror ensues.
2016, April: A huge typhoon will invade China, causing massive damage. The 43rd USA president, George Walker Bush, will enter the hospital, and faces a life or death situation.
2026, July: A super earthquake will occur in Sans Francisco, and it will be named 'The Big One'. Huge damage to surrounding areas. Many volcanoes will re-activate, and the height of resulting tsunami will be more than 150 metres.
Mr. Juseleeno made known his predictions in hopes that people will take heed of his warnings, so that these disasters may be avoided. He hopes there will be a major change in the thinking of people's mindsets in the time period 2007 - 2008. One factor will be the environmental issue of global warming, which is more serious than what some meteorologists assume.
How nice.
Oh well.
When we was younger, there were rumours about the EOTW coming too. I remembered being very troubled, cos I couldn't make up my mind on who to hold on to on the left hand, and who to hold on to on the right hand. Grandma, and mummy? Then Uncle Adrian how? Will Uncle Ken hold Anwen or Ashlyn? How about Michelle? Oh god, why can't i have more arms?
Of course, I grew out of that worrisome state when the predicted day came and went. That being said, I still have some last wishes. Most of it involve the usual stuff, to be surrounded by the favourite people when I breathe my last breath, to be buried in a rose tinted glass coffin (a la snow white) and all that.
But still, when it boils down to it, I just have this small, puny request.
Please, please, please don't let me be doing projects when the last hour is here.
