Signs - Day 2 of 5

Day 2 of 5
And there goes the second day, or night, whichever it is. The stars are out again in their full glory, shining from light years away. They looked exactly the same as yesterday, as 24 hours is but a blink in the eye of the cosmos. When a dark cloud passes over the sky, we all know that the stars are still there, just hidden behind the cloud. But do you know that even in the midday sky, the stars are still there, with their faint brilliance completely outshone by the sun? Anyways, the skies around me have cleared temporarily, a short respite is granted, I can once again observe the beauty of the endless void. Looking at the signs, what can I say? They hint at much, yet if interpreted wrongly the consequences would be devastating, resulting in many years of bad luck and unhappiness. News have been coming in from all over, there are a few who have already constructed their own interpretation; they are a step ahead. Once again, the conclusion for today is nothing, an excuse for more time, to enjoy the beauty of the moment of the present, to hope that the signs won't change for the worst.

And what about my friend's side of the story, what has he found out? The stars are a long, long distance away, but they seem to be moving even further away; the distance keeps increasing. From the expanding universe theory, everything is moving away from each other. It is akin to points on a balloon, when inflated further, the points will all move away from each other. It seems that even the stars are moving away from us, isn't it sad? I guess the planet is a lonely place to live in, made lonelier every passing second.

And on a lighter note, here's the first of many recipes to come.

Recipe - Frozen Durian Ice Cream
Serves 2

Ingredients:
1 Durian (stolen, plucked, skinned, de-husked)

Method:
1. Procure multiple durian seeds.
2. Place said multiple durian seeds into a container.
3. Place said container into the freezer compartment of a fridge. (Open the door, place the container in, close the door)
4. Wait till frozen.
5. Take out and enjoy

Explanation:
The freezer would have frozen the seeds. The durian meat would have come from the seeds. The Ice would have come from the water content in the seeds. The Cream would be the texture of a high-quality durian seed - creamy. =)

Hmmm a very cryptic message. I have a feeling that there's some significant meaning behind this but never mind. Anyway, I've GOT to try making my own frozen durian ice cream ><.
