Guys

They act tough
Feign to be rough
Exchange stupid rumble
Trying to be street Ramble

Jumble

I know what it is
Not what you think it is
You might thought you know what it is
when it just ain’t exist

Just when you thought Taipei is tasteless…

Deep in the alleys of the electronics shopping district, stood a totally out-of-context oriental building. Judging from the clothing of people coming in and out, presumably its staff, I can only speculate that this is one of those member-only eateries of the Taipei elite. The architecture is immaculate, but the hustle and bustle of passing traffic makes one wonder: is it just me or the pagoda is somehow misplaced?

Agaist MRT’s glasses
Lives in varing messes
Staring at every direction
Going only one destination

Follies of Man in Predicting Mother Nature

“The bird flu has been scraring the shit out of scientists and health officials the world over since 2004 (some would say even earlier than that). Following the outbreak of the illusive SARS, epidemic experts like those working for World Health Organization were so apprehensive, they didn’t want to err on the careless side.

Speculations predicting the virus would mutate to be capable of transfering from fowls to human, even human to human, were spreading so quickly, the easily-excitable media soon paints an apocalyptical picture inspired by the historical pandemics. But to date, their oracle is yet to be fulfilled.

Granted, over a hundred death cases has been attributed to the deadly H5N1 avian flu virus. Also, the possibility of human to human transfer is all but confirmed. However, these casulties pales in comparison to the destructive potential experts has been warning authorities in assessing the mutatant pathogen.

It seems in predicting the future, Mother Nature has a knack of outsmarting even the shrewdest of the wise men. It looks on, it flip a swith here and there, and it chuckles for the confusion it has caused.”
