You're wrong about me.

I am in fact,

mature and strong enough

to take 'no' as an answer.

B.

It did take a while,

but I truly felt what it meant when people say

'Less is more';

it doesn't take someone to give a lot to know that they care,

it's how much they give, in proportion to what they have,

and how they do it that's important.

That's when you feel,

see,

and know.

Thank you, Ba.

Have you ever wonder why certain people,

whether you like it or not,

behave in the way they do?

Do you wonder at times,

why some manage to behave more normal,

more likeable than others?

Taking action without thorough think-through,

be it that one was trying to inspire others with a new idea,

or taking the matter on their own hands to change a certain situation,

may be labelled an act of 'bravery' to a certain point,

beyond which

is pure stupidity.

As one grows,

the society expects of us to grow mentally as well;

our judgements of propriety should be somewhat proportionate to that of our age.

It is always a good idea to stand back,

preview & evaluate,

then choose to resume/stop

rather than to have gone too far without being able to put a halt to it all...

I hope you'll understand.

The attempt to solving a problem

should not involve the introduction of new problems.

Be able to think in someone else's shoes,

and the pathway to righteousness should be lit up ahead.

B.

In life, we all desire something;

a certain situation, person, objects, objectives...

is it right to say that

to live without desire is no real life at all?

Life becomes a matter of floating above time,

wasting days.

I have the desire to...

desire once again,

and not continuing to lead a soul-less, wandering life.

Let me find you.

Am currently stranded, luckily though, at home and not in a foreign airport.

It might be a while 'till I could return and resume that solitary lifestyle which, surprisingly, I've grown adaptive towards. Or maybe its the thought of wanting certainty; so I get enough time to complete work ahead, study for the exams, etcetera. The current holiday-like lifestyle is too good to be true.

Best of luck to others out there who are affected by the whole volcanic ash-cloud incident!

I'm thinking: gosh this world never gets old, there are new problems uprising every other minute.

This period of self-delusion has ended,

once and for all.

It's now what it will be,

for a long long time to come.

It's time to feel lonesome again...

B.

Is that all there is to Hong Kong?

So I was strolling in Causeway Bay today

when I found a newly established shuttle bus stop located right outside of Times Square (where the UA cinema entrance is), specialised in transporting mainland tourists around...

It then occurred to me;

that we are but, and thus only limited to being a shopper's paradise...and no more?

Completely contradicting the things I've seen just earlier this week - the culture, the geo-scapes and counting - do people have no interest whatsoever in those other things?

In a foreigners' eyes, does this city carry no value other than a destination to grab hold of the latest Chanel bag, or the new gadgets, perfumery?

Or is this all because we're becoming increasingly materialistic on the whole?

B.

Home Schveet Home.

These past few months of living abroad has exposed me to lots,

most I rant about (eg the loss of a secure environment, absence of familiar faces, convenience),

and some which I've grown to adapt, the seclusion from my immediate family,

I've actually managed to forget its importance.

Being here and now, back at home,

I realise it's the simple things that matter the most;

it's not who you're out with and what you're doing tonight,

but being with those who care, that's the most valuable of it all.

I could just live these two weeks deprived of 'social events'

but not feeling a tad bit of loneliness in me...

I love you, moms+pops
