Potpourri of moods for today...

Wrote a lot of stuff in Chinese. Somethings can only be expressed in English, while somethings can only be written down in Chinese. When I tried translating them, they lost their beauty which they had when they were originally written in the other language. Too bad... Can't type Chinese into my blog coz I don't have the software.

Suddenly time is racing ahead like water drying out on the desert sands. Too fast, too fast, too fast... tried to grasp some minutes in my hand, only to see them fade away, as if laughing at my failed attempt to retain time.

Woke up in the morning to find my room mate crying of homesickness... Maybe coz her family has a lot of members and have a different degree of warmth in it. My parents are now experiencing the "empty nest" syndrom. Both my brother and I have flown away, going home is like just to visit my parents, spend time with them. Our lives are no longer centralised in that little building that held so many years of our lives there. I'm not yet growned up, and already I'm getting a taste of how people would get when they start to work. I'm just studying, and I'm already complaining that I have no time to go home, to see my parents... Hmm... should really check myself when I start to work.

Trying to get somebody's attention. Well, we are forever trying to get attention from the minute when we were born. That's why babies cry, that's why girls dressed up, that's why guys wanna keep fit... We're happy to be noticed, because we feel important. My friend just got elected to a high post in the Red Crescent Society. She's worried if she's not fit for it. Well, cant change the fact, just have to try her best in the future year. Good luck and congratulations~!
It's good to be recognised and noticed, but some people tend to choose to hide in the shadows. Less pressure if you go unnoticed. True or false?

Tend to take things a little too seriously at times. Have to practice more on how to let go. That's why people who died in peace have open palms. We have to let go in order to find peace... Learning to let go... What is past is past, we can only focus on the present and the future. Take the experience and try to learn better next time, that's "letting go".
