Playing with fire?

From time to time, I personally like to feel the freedom from restlessness and the lingering taste of dangerous. As unhealthy as it may seem, it is the time that I feel alive and allow me to see a new prospective in my own life. It's like some people say..."One cannot realize the beauty of it until the day it is vanished". There are pros and cons for playing with fire but I just can't help to think that if I will ever burn myself badly because of it. I wonder when will the odds finally turn against me and risk losing something which is matter in my life. But after all, aren't we all waiting for our next fall and gain a little hindsight from it?

Most of the people will act on what is expected in the future. For example, making dinner plan with friends over next weekend knowing that there will be no work on the day...

Obtain....Or not to obtain

Last month or so, BMW sent me an invitation in the mail for their exclusive breakfast at the Melbourne motor show. Unfortunately, I turned it down as I simply did not have the time for it.

The new model has improved dramastically on most aspects compared to current one and caught my heart almost instantly. However, great machine often comes with a huge price tag, in that particular case, a hefty 120k + to get it on the road. A taming session is arranged by BMW in 2 weeks time and hopefully I will be able to tame that powerful beast with little effort & do it alone...Only until then, I will be able to determine such beast is suitable to be under my domestic care.....
