One week ago (on 10th Sptember 2008), CERN’s billion dollars baby, the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) took off, banging two protons together to yield a miniature Big Bang. It is suppose to simulate the existence of our universe, but in a inny miny scale, for studying what kind of particles may arises from the arranged accident, particularly on the Higgs Bosson.

There were some concern that the collision may also created anti matter and black holes that could expand and swallow our beloved earth. The project took off despite all the protest and wah lah.. no end of the world as predicted. And I don’t even know about this CERN thing. (only know of this experiment on 11th September 2008). Could have ‘ham kah chan’ with you all that day.
Our opposition leader, Datuk Anwar Ibrahim had claimed that he will take over the government on September 16th.
Although I know about this, but so many others, i just take it as normal as everyday news. There could be riots and declaration for state of emergency, but I don’t even give a damn to stock something in my home. I could have died of hunger along with my family if something bad happen. What is wrong with me?
Read in the newspaper today that the hole in the ozone layer over the Antartica going to expand to the largest size in history, estimated as big as US and Canada combine together. The Ice in Antartica is going to melt almost immediately and the sea level shall rise. The one that was feared as posted in ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ finally happens.
Even though I know about this, i still not panic. Because you see, I’m already numb. Numb from work, numb from life. Perhaps the end of the world is not a bad thing anymore.
p/s: if you are same as me, oblivious to whatever happens around you, well, what the fuck is wrong to you too…
