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.

dessert

Have been busy these few day although class haven started...
timetable's finally out...


with most of the classes that have crappy timing.
how i missed classes that have that just awesome timing...


but today, our main topic is ice cream.
I <3 ice cream!

it transports me back to fond childhood memories
when a simple ice cream is all it takes to make my week.
when my focus was to play
when i had no timetable
when i could not care about homework
when i believed in fairytales

ice cream still makes my day now.
bringing me back to the past for a few short moments
to reminiscence how it was
to appreciate what has happened.

to remember memories so fond...

ice cream, I love you!

path

In the middle of a bridge,

With both side promising just as much.

Different though they might be,

They attract all the same.

One choice is as good as the other.

Which side should I take?

I want them both

But I know a choice I must make

To give up one 

To gain another

I cannot have both

Each one is as good as the other

which path shall I take?
