Worry gives a small thing a big shadow. - Some Swedish proverb.
Worry also diminishes self confidence and causes problems. Other than that, no comments. =D

My friend's -Leslie- grandfather just passed away and I could tell he had an affection for his granddad -I always saw his granddad's photo in his MSN's display picture-. It must've affected him greatly.
Just then, I realised; Death is lingering among everyone, everytime, everywhere. It is when Death sees no future purpose for a certain person that it takes its life away... or perhaps to end that person's misery.
A movie -Final Destination-, also made me see.... that there could be a possibility that Death has a design for all of us. Each and everyone of us, meant to die in his design the way he designed that plan. When we cheat Death, we are just stalling the event.
It could happen anytime.
I shall not touch this topic any longer.
=========================================
About an hour ago, I noticed a cloud of smoke forming beside my house. Beside my neighbour's house to be more precise. I decided to take a closer look so I went to the nearby balcony.
There was a fire. Not just any fire for that matter. A big humongous spreading fire that seems to be getting out of control. Now, if you're confused, my house is surrounded by grass. Tall grass that never seems to be mowed. Just beside my neighbour's house, there's a hill of grass -a particular patch of grass that's elevated-. And that was what seemed to be the centre of the fire.
The fire was so big that I could even hear the sparks produced when fire burns grass. And, trust me, there were plenty more grass to burn off.
Now, the fire could reach my house if it was given about another hour or so. But I wasn't going to take the risk. I went downstairs and walked out my front door, thinking of a possible way to get to that area. Or whether I should alert the neighbour first in case he/she doesn't know.
Nah, I thought. =D. I'll just check it out first. Cos if I do decide to alert the neighbour and they already know about it then.... I hilang muka (lose face). Haha. Oh my maid followed me. God knows why.
The whole journey she was like "Ourgh, Julian ah, *pointing to direction of fire* got big fire ah! Very big ouh! I very scared ah! Big big fire ouh!", saying it with pure excitement -its her usual tone- and stressing alot of unnecessary words while shaking her head furiously with her eyes wide opened. Yes, I've gotten used to her figure of speech -adding 'ah' and 'ouh' at the end of every sentence-. Usually she's satisfied if you just nod your head in reply. =D
I went around the neighbour's house and saw the neighbour and his maid walking frantically. The, what seemed to be the head of the house, seemed to be going back and forth carrying a pail of water, extinguishing the fire.
My maid immediately grabbed the unoccupied water hose and starting watering the fire. When the neighbour -lets just call him Dodo- came near me, I asked him with the most polite tone I could put on; "Is there anything I can do to help?"
He said "Yes" then walked away. Err, okay... You don't say yes when a person asks whether he can help then walk away. You're supposed to give the dude a fucking job to do! So he doesn't really need my help since the fire looks like its being controlled already.
So I ask Dodo, "What caused the fire?". Then he muttered something again and ended it with "...hill of grass. Now no more snakes will be there." Err, okay... sounds hard to believe that a man would burn a hill of grass, that could spread into an uncontrollable fire, just to chase away snakes that might not even be there. But I still believed him anyways.
Then I asked some questions regarding the fire. And he became deaf. What the fuck?! Arrogant bastard. Then I asked my maid how the fire started. She told me it was because Dodo was burning some sort of trash. My grandmother also said Dodo was burning some sort of trash.
Then when she asked Dodo why he burned when there was a possibility of a fire outrage; he replied "I didn't know". Hahaha! Dumbfuck! No duh! When you burn a patch of grass surrounded by MORE grass, you're telling me the fire won't spread?
That arrogant arsehole must've failed high school. Then worked as a trash collector and a factory worker when he was young. Then suddenly, he won a lottery ticket and got enough money to buy the big ass house that he owns now. Either that or rich people are getting stupid these days. Dumbfuck.
He's going to go back to his home and complain "Tadi ada b'dak Cina b'diri kat api sana tau. Tarak tolon kite pun. Tak tau apa die ngah buat." Almost certain thats gonna happen. Then his family is just going to buy his story cos he's the head of the house. Dumbfuck.
Then probably he's going to say the wind from Indonesia blowed a lighted cigarette stick and it landed on the patch of grass beside his house, causing a fire. Followed by his heroic actions in order to save his house. Dumbfuck.
This is why I don't communicate with my neighbour(s). They're not really sociable. I miss my old neighbour. When I get my driving license, I'm going back to memory lane.
The old neighbourhood where my old house used to be. Where I had plenty of friendly neighbours helping me out in times of despair, playing football and badminton with me when they had free time, entertaining some small boy 3 years younger than them when they could've gone for a movie with their peers.
Missed those old times. I would call my neighbours if I remembered their numbers. Heh.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Right now, I'm going back to the drawing board. Time to design plan B. Plan A's fading off due to lack of communication. Stupid exams.
