Food for Thought

Hi guys, glad that the blog i started is picking up. But still a long way to go till the expected 500 hits, but i’m sure its juz a matter of time.

Stumbled upon the word “life expectancy” while flipping through time magazine that day, and figured something out.

Hope it interests u.

Did some research before coming to this startling fact:

Average singaporean life expectancy : 80 years

Age now : 22 years

Years left: 80 – 22 = 57 years

Time spent sleeping: 8 hrs a day = 19 years

Time spent travelling: 1.5 hrs a day = 3.5 years

Time spent in a lift or waiting = 0.5 years

Time spent in the toilet: 45 mins a day = 2.3 years

Time spent in a traffic jam: 1 year

Time spent waiting for retards: 0.5 year

The activities above I classify as something which just eats ur life away as it has zero productivity. Yet we have to experience it whether we like it or not.

So the amazing final figure i calculated as to how many years we have left to really live is an astounding:

57-19-3.5-0.5-2.3-1 = Roughly 30 years!!

Considering the past 22 years i have already lived was a blur and it flew by like 5 mins, i am proud to announce that i have only another 6 mins or so left before i can finally go to a place somewhere over the rainbow!!~~

Which brings me to another point, just waiting for some bloody latecomer for 10 mins a day will eat away 6 months of ur life. ( are u reading this assholes? U know who u are...)

Bottom line is, before u know it, u are gonna kick the bucket real soon....

You’ll never walk alone,

Disillusioned about life eh? facing the fact that our time here is short and we still dunno what the heck we're here for? Well, take ur time.. what we perceive the world as it is is what is the world to us. The concept of reality sometimes blurs us and most of the time we have different ideas on what we should do with our time. Let's leave that to our own personal journals and share it with those interested or our good friends.. we won't know who is right or wrong until the day comes unto which we are judged. Meantime, take this time to enjoy the beauty that God has given us in this world.. like mountains, animals, "kaka"s.. (haha!), Nature, rivers, children's smiles and laughters and the sweet momments in life that we all treasure and keep us wanting for more.. oh yeah.. dun forget the "kip-huip"..so much to see, so little time.. haha! :P
