Middle Earth, Here I Come...

In about 10 hours time, Master Choco will board the plane to Middle Earth...

It was 5 and a half years ago that Master Choco first visited Middle Earth... He remembers vividly how serenely clean and beautiful the landscape was... Images of the places he visited still reside clearly in his memory down to the smallest details... It was the first time he saw snow falling quietly from the heavens... It was the first time he walked on the iceblue glacier... It was the first time he was almost tempted to do a bungee-jump...

This time round, Master Choco will stay in this wonderland for 12 solid days... Back to the land that left such a lovely impression on him...

But half of the time will be 'work'... Physical 'work'... Jedi training of sorts... Not just to learn how to wield the light saber gracefully, but also to learn dexterity and mind manipulation techinques, the trademark of powerful Jedi Knights... Not sure if Master Yoda will be there, cos' the Jedi trainers are from Middle-Earth... Master Choco is just hoping that the weather will not be too cold such that Choco will get frozen and crack into pieces...

The other half of the time is actually a black box at the moment in Master Choco's mind... Nothing's planned for... He doesn't know what's in store at the moment... He's just hoping and praying hard that Master Madcat's brilliant apparition of what our Lord might do to me at night DO NOT come true... Master Choco shall therefore sleep with the sharpest awareness of any disturbances to the Force...

May the Force be with Master Choco...

When Saying Nothing is Really Saying Something...

The Jedi Knights have been lying low and keeping silent for quite a while now...

Saying nothing need not mean that there's inactivity... Saying nothing need not mean that there's no battle... Saying nothing need not mean that we are tired and gone...

Saying nothing means we are transforming... Transforming into strategically mindful Masters... Transforming under the watchful eyes of the Lord into multi-tasking Masters who are expected to perform wonders in SimpleVille...

Master Choco is transforming... Not particularly sure of the final shape he'll take up actually... His colour of his light saber may change as well... He's not even sure if he can still wield his light saber as gracefully after the light saber has power-upped...

Nevertheless, Master Choco, as well as the other Master Jedis, know that the coming year ahead of everybody is going to be a scene that might be quite different from the past...

The Force is growing stronger... The Force is telling the Jedis that the impending war will be worth their effort... That their meaning of their very being in SimpleVille will be revealed next year...

They must stand firm and believe in the Force... They must stand tall and be unwavering and be as worthy as the lighthouse to guide the lost and misguided ships to shore safely...

Next year, the Jedis may have lesser things to voice out... But when nothing is being said, probably so much are being said...

May the Force be with them...
