Did anyone notice an Unicorn around you lately??

I was just reading the papers and I came across this article of a correspondent for the Straits Times but is based in Japan. There is a rumour or a saying in Japan that their beer ' kirin beer' logo actually has the word 'kirin' in katahana in it. So it set her thinking about the myths and legends about kirin or its more western counterpart, the unicorn. It is said that the unicorn is impossible to find cuz its has this mystical power to remain invisble or moves quickly away. Maybe one might have passed it , but mistaken it as a horse and carry on with his/her affairs, thats why Unicorns are always impossible to noticed.

This brings us to the notion that as we grows up, we are less and less able to stop and appreciate the things that we have in life. For example, a well known singer was singing in the underground but no one except for kids seems to bother about him..and he is a WELL KNOWN SINGER man!! this shows that even if something magical or beautiful is in front of us, society has made us rush so fast that we cant even see it even if its besides us...
