26th December 2004 Sunday

"How would the end of the world be like?"
Fast. Christmas break flew past too fast. Before I know it, tomorrow is back to working for me and the week after, semester begins yet again. Not exactly a very good day for me today but then again, it has been ages since I had a real good day. Haven't really felt really happy for a long long time. Would we forget the feeling of happiness if we hadn't experienced it for a long time? But then again, what is happiness? Can it be described? How do we know we are feeling happiness when we are feeling it? Sounds philosophical but that is really what I think.

Went to the library today. Borrowed two chinese books. Think they are gonna be nice. Borrowed Hiyawu's book and another book that incidentally has the same title as my blog title. Maybe because of the coincidence, it made me have a strong urge to drink peppermint green tea again. Went to IMM after my library trip and bought a dozen of that drink. Love it and love it. Simply love the cool peppermint taste amongst the bitterness of the tea and the sweetness of sugar. Love it and love it......
人生总有许多遗憾，所以还在身边的要珍惜，已经离开的该怀念。

"If we are late, we apologise. How about Santa? What can he do if he is late for Christmas?"

Me and C heard K singing till two the day before till 2am. Was so cold the way he connected the songs together. Haha. Was surprised that it didn't snow that night. Anyway, thanks to him I couldn't finish my Christmas cards that night. Instead I brought the whole stack to C's house to finish yesterday......

Went to C's house yesterday afternoon. Watched "La Bi Xiao Xin" and wrote my Christmas cards as we waited for the rest to arrive. Then when XY came, we started doing banners. Haha. She changed her hairstyle but still very cute lah. =p Then when she arrive, we started doing banner for JR. Touched up one and did another one. Haha. A bit weird meeting up with them after so long never see each other. Me ended up not talking much. After that, JY arrive with drinks and we carried on doing banner and watched Spiderman 2. Didn't pay much attention to the show but caught some parts of it. Seems quite boring to me. Maybe because I keep seeing bits and pieces of the film being played at all those VCD shops in every shopping centres. Anyway, the show caused us to be very very late in meeting RY at Bedok.

Although late, we arrived at last. K took us to a quite secluded place for dinner. Ate hawker food. Been quite long since I ate hawker food with a group of people. Actually I quite like that kind of a feeling. The food wasn't too bad but a bit funny why we had to go so far to eat hawker food.

After that, me decided to leave to deliver Christmas cards to my JC friends who are meeting over at HX house. Said goodbye to JY, XY, RY and C and rushed to Bukit Batok to join YM they all. Did the usual stuff over there. Ate titbits, played games and exchanged gifts. Quite fun. Played a weird polar bear game that I kept ending up being the polar bear? Maybe it is because of the cold cold K. Haha. Anyway, it was heart warming to meet up with people that I have not seen for quite some time. Glad to see that everyone is still surviving and doing quite well. (At least I guess so). Well, that was about all about how I spent my Christmas. Haha. Last but not least, thanks to HX for lending out her house to us for Christmas. =p

Merry Christmas to all

"What is happiness? What is sadness? How do we know at any instant that the emotion we are experiencing is happiness or sadness even without knowing the meaning of them?"
Missed the bus when I was on my way home today. While waiting for the bus, an old woman came up and chatted with me and my sister. She was saying about how life has changed from the past. How buses were small in the past and people couldn't even bear to spend the few cents to take a bus, how food only cost a few cents in the past as well as the increase in the amount of vehicles on the road from the past. While talking, something just popped into my mind - "Life was really hard then but guess there are still happiness that could be found in that simplicity." This further led me to think whether we could find joy in luxury. The conclusion that I got - "You could definitely lead a better life with more money but you might not find happiness in it. On the other hand, even if you are poor, does it matter so long as you lead a happy and satisfied life?" Even though some might argue that we could never get happiness with no money but think about it, is there really no happiness that we can find from simplicity? Well, it is up to the individual to decide about the answer to that but my answer will be that we do can find happiness in poverty. Hence, I find that happiness is the most important thing in the world. So smile and just be glad that you are in this world......

"若能完整的把心情写在纸上，我会把今天的心情都写在一张明信片上。然后把这没有地址，没有收信人的明信片狠狠的丢进信筒里。如果心情能写在纸上。。。。。。"

Blue blue Wednesday. I couldn't believe it. The blue from Monday carried on till today and I wonder how long more is it going to last. Me made a decision today after thinking for a long long time. I am gonna live for myself and only myself alone from today onwards. No more putting others before me, no more giving in to others. Why should I? From today onwards, I am first on my priority list. I won't do things I don't like no longer. At least I will try. I will........

6th December 2004 Monday

"I live in a world where people kill their own kind, a world where there is no absolute trust, a world where promises are made to be broken, a world where forever is but a word in the dictionary. The world wasn't meant to be......"

Blue blue Monday again. Sigh. Wonder why all my Mondays are blue. Maybe it is due to the rainy weather. Rainy days make me sad but I somehow still love rainy days. Have been listening Stefanie Sun's latest album and have fallen in love with the song "同类". Really a brilliant song. Love the lyrics very much.

3rd December 2004 Friday

Friday today. The weekend is coming soon. Actually wanted to blog yesterday but couldn't log into blogspot due to server problems so blogged today instead. Got a lot to say yesterday but forgot already. =p Poor memory I have got. Maybe not poor but selective I guess......

Bought "Harry Potter And The Prisoner of Azkaban" DVD today after much hesitation. Guess I got to treat and pamper myself occasionally. Well, at least not restrict myself of something that I love. =p Couldn't wait to get that DVD spinning. Besides that, boring bored day again. =p

"Could love be quantified?"
