I know she is reaching her cutting edge already.Nearing the cliffs.But still, life needs to be pushed ahead. All I can say is God Bless Us...

Just cannot concentrate on studying. and yet exam is just tomorrow...Everyone has their own problems, or maybe should I say is challenges in Life...Face it, learn from it and grow wise but not old..Tired? I guess there is many whom are doing more than I am but still they are not complaning. Guess I really need an attitude change soon...

What is going to happen in the next month or two? really a BIG question mark...Well, thats life i guess...to think that life is miserable for me is really a SIN....though sometimes i am mad at those who don't know how to give priority to which is important things in life..waste time everyday doing nonsense! manage urself well before going to teach people lar!Dono should I be saying this or not..hahaz...Open ur eyes big, grab the chance before its too late..! We're living in a world where time wont just wait for us to say 'oops, i should have did that if i have known earlier...'Sorry, time and tide waits for no man..

The United Kingdom Navy Crew Captured..Brink of another tension in Middle East?
A news excerpt from BBC News.
The UK government has released details of where it says the 15 sailors and Marines were when they were seized by Iranian forces on 23 March.
The Ministry of Defence says the merchant ship boarded by a crew from HMS Cornwall on 23 March was 1.7 nautical miles (3.1km) inside Iraqi territorial waters. It says the master of the vessel has confirmed this.
HMS Cornwall was south-east of the merchant ship, inside Iraqi waters.
On 24 March the Iranian government told the UK - according to the UK's Ministry of Defence - that the merchant vessel was at a different location, but still within Iraqi waters.
When the UK pointed out to the Iranians that the location they had given was within Iraqi waters, the Iranians provided a "corrected" location, nearly 1 nautical mile away (1.9km) from its first position but within Iranian waters.
The UK government disputes both Iranian claims. It says the "corrected" location is more than 2 nautical miles (3.7km) from its own version, as recorded by HMS Cornwall's GPS data equipment.

One of the small boats used by the boarding party from HMS Cornwall had a GPS chart plotter, continually communicating its position to HMS Cornwall, where the position was displayed on an electronic chart.
The UK says the two boats were together at all times.
HMS Cornwall's Lynx helicopter had been monitoring the initial stages of the boarding of the Indian-flagged merchant ship, at 0739 local time on 23 March.
Communications with the boarding team were lost at the time the boarding ended - at 0910.
The helicopter crew returned to the scene and reported that the two boats were being escorted by Iranian Islamic Republican Guard Navy vessels towards the Shatt al Arab waterway, inside Iranian territorial waters.

Is this an Iranian reaction on UN sanctions 2 days ago? As in Iran's revolutionary guard promised a fourthcoming reaction from Iran.
Will Iran release those sailors as there are dispute in their location they were arrested? British says that they were 1.2NM inside Iraqi waters while Iranian says that they were inside Iranian waters after British pointed out the location dispute. Who was correct then? Whatever it is, why does this have to happen? Big nations doing such things? Holding 15 marines just because they trespassed your waters? Plenty of trespassing happens daily around the world. Why make such a big issue out of this? Will this end up in the Palestine and Israel conflict, where it is just because of 1 kidnapped soldier, where thousands of lives will be lost in result? Civilised nation.. I do not know any consequences of this from the point of view of a ordinary citizen. Just hope that this tension would not cause a price hike in the crude oil price in the nation, as it already show a slight increase by now..Stupid conflict..!
