I like Jay Chou's recent song 青花瓷 so much. It is so similar to 东风破 and 发如雪. 方文山 seem to be able to write so beautiful lyrics, and with those music, bring you to another time, another era. Back into the old world of China, into those paintings.

The most important line in the chorus is 天青色等烟雨，而我在等你.
Because we can't control the weather, we can only wait. In other to have 天青, we have to wait for it to rain first. Thus after the 烟雨, it will be 雨过天晴后, 而我在等你.
Which relates to life, to love. A lot of things in life you cannot control. You can only wait for things to happen, to change. There's nothing much you can do, but to wait, perhaps to wait for someones love. And that love itself, gives you the power and courage to wait and wait. There may be a rain before that, but normally the sky after a heavy rain is the most beautiful. Sometimes the most beautiful love in the world is for someone to wait for who he loves till the end of time, with no complains.

我也只能被动而安静的等待著不知何时才会出现的你

Life ain't easy. There is no easy way to go about living it. There is also no correct way to live one's life. What's past, one must learn to let go. What's to come, we must learn to live in hope. What's bothering us, we must learn to face it. What's making you happy, you have to appreciate it. Saying all these are easy I guess, but embracing these thoughts ain't easy. I never say its easy, after all, who say life is easy. Life is just great. And life ought to be happy.
Just some random thoughts....

我们曾经做的傻事
醒来以后是不是就有解释
原来承诺两个字
累人一辈子
也轻易让人勾勾手指

我们曾经错过的事
是否在失去以后才有价值
原来梦想的种子
要用一辈子的执着
来等待它的果实

我们各自那段往事
多年以后是不是还有坚持
原来爱情这回事
烦心一辈子
幸福让人欲言又止

我们未来那些日子
是否在天亮以后不再迷失
原来活着的样子
是坦然的过一辈子
过程只是让你更懂事

Had a battle with a flying cockroach yesterdae night, not exactly my kind of way to celebrate Saturdae's night after a long week of work. I hate cockroaches, especially those that fly. I do not like to kill any living thing, unless they get on my nerves. So this idiot had to bother me while I was watching a very lousy display of football by Liverpool, which I must admit the whole team probably would be crap without Torres. Then again, its been like that for the past 10 years. I do not know why I still stand by them till today. Blind love I guess.
Anyway back to the roach incident. So me and my brother chased it all the way back into the kitchen and into the hole it probably came from. I stuffed the newspaper in that hole thinking it will just never come back again. But after a while, I could hear it coming back. Yes, I have the ability to hear cockroaches walking, they make this funny irritating noise when they are in the room. I turned around and there it was again in the living room. This time it really makes my blood boil so I called my brother and we chased it he killed it. Yes of course it ain't gonna be me. AHhaah.

Ok frankly I dunoe whats the big deal bout this incident or where this is going to lead me. But it did made my night "memorable". I dun particularly have nice times with them. I hate them, and to an extent I am afraid of them. Made me remember the scene when I chanced upon a roach nest and dozens of them swarming around... Ok I probably shouldn't have gone there. Dinner's around the clock. Think Happy, think... Its just a bug's life.

I realise that when I am bloody tired, I am so sick and tired to think of a nice answer. Sometimes they seem kinda stupid to me, or rather, my answer would seem idiotic to them. I am one who can think on the spot, coming out with any answers to any question when I am in the mood. But when I am tired or simple not in the mood, I guess there is no such thing as there is no stupid question in the world. Do not ask me rhetorical questions.

Below are some of which I come across and I shoot back immediately (and of coz I remember till today).
Why is it so dark? - Coz there are no lights.
Why do you eat ketchup? - Coz I dun eat Chili.
Why are you eating? Because I am hungry.
Why you cannot come? Coz I cant make it.
Haha some would seem me as being so mean. But I meant no harm. Really.

Some other kind of questions from act smart people pisses me off.
Is this half filled or half empty.
Why aren't blue berries blue?
Why is orange called orange and apples not called red?
Why are hot dogs called that when it is not even dog meat?

Bottom line, do not piss me off with Smart Alec questions. Why am I writing this post? All I can say is some idiot gave me this inspiration.

Opps I forgot to welcome 2008! And its the 3rd day of the new year already! Well the 1st business day of the year aint that great, with a certain stock haunting me. Glad I somehow manage to pull it off in front my boss so the next thing it how to rectify it. Well guess I shouldnt be talking bout work today.

New Year's Eve was kinda simple and different. No fireworks this year, no crowded countdown this year. Just a nice dinner with Gis at Karma Kettle & Rhapsody (Cluny Court) at Bukit Timah. It was a nice small cosy place with excellent service (but I must say that day the food ain't as nice I guess, but still not bad) Then we walked down Bukit Timah Road pass my old school and relived the old daes. Final destination at KAP. Haha its so stupid, I wonder why those schools(Chinese High, MGS, Nangyang Girls etc) around that area used to think its like the coolest place to hang out after school. In case those of you who are not aware, KAP is just a big MacDonald at King Albert's Park. I wonder why myself used to hang out there as well? Whats the faze? When the clock struck 12, the Mac staff came around to wish us Happy New Year. Haha one thing that also came out of my mind strongly that day was that cab fares are damn expensive nowadaes! I spent 40 plus just from Tamp to Bkt Timah, and then from there back Home. Usually it will only hit 30 plus. Gosh.... Nice bonus for Taxi Uncles out there! Haha.

2008, lets see. No resolutions for me. Resolutions = wishes that do not come true. You spend time thinking bout them, then procrastinate, then that's it. You decide if you should make the same resolutions next year. Lame. Haha as least it applies to me a few years back. I am king of procrastinators. But I hope indeed it will be a happy new year. Staying happy each year is a simple wish for me every year, though its not easy keeping me happy. Haha. Just kidding, I am so easily satisfied, I think. Am I? I am starting to doubt myself. Ok, bonus and increment time next week. Its like the Star Awards for us, I wonder how it will be like. I am not expecting alot, coz its Citi, "the world largest bank". But I know if I do not get my just rewards, the bank can say bye bye to me. And I guess they won't miss me, cause they do not appreciate me at all. Today is Jason's last day as well. We entered together, I get a good feeling, maybe its time soon. Maybe? Happy New Year everyone!
