We got to do what we have got to do.

So, options available...

a. Live with it

Can't?

then there's only...

b. Do something about it.

Telling myself that this is for the better.
And hopefully that it is.
Just reminding myself that if things do go wrong,
at this point of time,
the decision was made under such circumstances.

For every gain, there's loss.
For every loss, there's gain.
What are we willing to lose to gain?
Is the loss worth the gain?

Unexpected email

Got an email today,
reminding me of someone I thought that I would probably not see or hear from any time soon.

But that name is hard to be mistaken
since that name is rare
among the people that i know.

Anyways,
that reminds me of simpler times,
of times when we were all so naive,
maybe just me.

Nonetheless,
wish you all the best,
wherever you are. =)

Another summer day has come and gone away

The bolded word is happy. 

But how exactly do we define happiness?

People have searched for it since recorded time,

some have been successful,

others not as lucky.

Yet, we cannot put a cold hard definition for it.

Because it is different for everyone.

Just like a thumbprint.

Unique

Happiness can be as easy as nice cup of coffee in the morning 

It can be a sunny day,

A hot bowl of soup,

A quiet day at home,

These are the simple things that can make us smile and for a moment remember and experience happiness.

That light and springly feeling you get.

but not really put into words...

because you can never truly capture it's true essence.

For it changes as you change and grow as a person.

But there are also some things like ice cream that never change.

or at the very least have lasted till now.

The quest for happiness.

The ultimate quest?

Is it not what we all search for?

In all our pursuits for more material goods, unusual experiences and things like that?

With our family, friends and all those around us?

Happiness.

The best thing we wish for one another,

while hoping that we find our part of it.

Happiness.

Sem Break

Been back from China recently.
And, in the blink of an eye, classes start next week...

This semester break has flown by so fast,
even though it is the longest one in a year.
They do say that time flies when you're having fun. =)

Friends

I know this blog has been empty for quite a bit...
which is why I'm back =)

anyways,
life's been busy.
there's just so much to do and so little time to do it,
especially sleep.
how I miss that.
so this post is written in a sleep deprived condition while waiting.

Recently, have been shown how life can remind you what's important
in a friend,
of what made you friends
in the first place.
and what'll keep you friends later on.
when you think that it's close to the end,
when you wonder why that happened in the beginning,
life shows you why all over again,
at the crucial time,
when you were just about to let go.

because of that,
you tighten your grip.
and choose to hold on.
for you know,
you've found something valuable and precious.

It's these moments that make all the difference.

Life is more than a little hectic at the moment.

Been out randoming with Shyuan and Delia...
then there's the whole lot of assignments.
being the peak now since most of it is due these few weeks..
and upcoming class test..
and other stuff....


The good thing is I won't be bored.
At least not till the semester ends.
Not so good thing,
super busy!!

i suppose you call this life? =)

just to someone:
I know what I can and cannot do. Don't think that you know me better than I do.

When we lose something, we'll gain something else
When we gain something, we'll lose something else.

When the question is to figure out which is the more valuable one,
Its hard..
when whatever you lose is just as valuable as whatever that you'll gain.

The saying goes,
you can't have your cake and eat it.
I can't have both

I know too clearly what I'll lose and gain,
whichever option I go with.
But that does not make it one bit easier.

You wish that you don't have to make a choice
But the path will fork
and you'll have to walk down one if not the other.
The choice is entirely up to you.

Ironically,
there's no choice but to choose.


The path has not forked yet.
But it will soon.
and I'm not ready to make that choice.
