Love is something you dont plan for, it happens, and you make time. Period, no excuses.
To let go is not to forget, not think about, or ignore. 
It doesn’t leave feelings of anger, jealousy or regret. 
Letting go isn’t winning, nor is it losing 
It’s not about pride. 
It’s not obsession about or dwelling on the past. 
It isn’t about loss and it’s not defeat. 
To let go is to cherish memories, but overcome them. 
Letting go is having the courage to accept change 
The strength to keep moving. 
Letting go is growing up.

1. Why don’t some ppl just learn to let go?

Seriously. It may have been what someone else said or did that could’ve pass off as as irritating at the time. But why do some ppl have to go on and on and on and on (and you get what I mean right?) over the same ol’ thing? Why do you love putting that pebble back into your shoe knowing very well it’s gonna bug you? Isn’t it just like putting your finger towards a boiling kettle? You know you’re gonna get hurt, so why must you go looking for the source of your pain? And why do ppl love to ruminate? Yes, bitching about some ppl can be very theraputic at times. But after one too many times, can’t we talk about anything else?

2. Why do ppl litter?

Its a piece of tissue/paper. Heck, even if it’s a bloody empty can of drink or a ciggie. It can very well fit in that humongous hand of yours for a minute or two until you find the nearest bin. If you’re in the car, can’t you put it aside and dump it at some place more appropriate later other than just flinging it out of your car window? Out of sight, out of mind just won’t do for this case. Don’t these ppl feel any sort of guilty conscience after littering?

3. Why are some ppl so damn narcisisstic?

Don’t these ppl have anything else to talk about other than themselves? Everything’s about me, myself and I. The thing that ticked me off the most is when some of these ppl picked up the fad of making Fan Pages of themselves on Facebook. Oh, so now that we’re already friends.. you want me to be your fan? You gotta be kidding me. And don’t these ppl ever get the hint when their requests keeps getting ignored? Why do you keep insisting for me to join that page of yours even after you’ve invited me more than five times?

4. Why do some ppl copy?

I’m not talking about academic tests here. This is about some ppl who has got no personality of his/her own that they would end up copying another – from the way they speak, their dressing/hairstyles to the ideas and opinions that they have. I admit that I wasn’t born with a sense of good fashion taste and I do occasionaly get a couple of ideas from fashion sites and what not. So, number 4 is gonna make me look like a hypocrite but let me just say these ppl stand out so well because you’d know when they lose their friends and the next moment, they’ll be copying their next “best friend”. They are anything but original or genuine.

5. Why do some ppl love to drown themselves with sorrow unnecessarily?

There’s no such thing as a silver lining to these ppl and everything that happens to ‘em is just not good enough. Why do these ppl love putting themselves into the dark, in isolation but instead will complain that they have no life or friends at the end of the day? Is there really so much bad in the world these days that one cannot see any good no more?

6. Why do some ppl lie even if they suck in doing so?

You got them in a corner, you confront them – yet they choose to stick with that lousy transparent lie. It’s like they already believe that the lie is in fact the truth. Why do these ppl still continue to lie even after several interogations and they give answers which are totally incoherent? Do they really think everyone they tell that lie to will believe them?

…

K, I’ve got loads more to write but I’m all out of word juice for now. It’s 2.18am on a Monday morning and I can’t believe it’s the end of my CNY holidays already. Now, it’s really crunch time at the varsity. Just two more months before I officially become a graduate/unemployed. How exciting.

(See, this is why I’m so bitter lah.)

Galileo once said that the Milky Way is composed of innumberable stars where “to whatever region of it you direct your spyglass, an immense number of stars immediately offer themselves to view.”

Such wonder. Such mass.

Let’s you think, doesn’t it? How insignificant you and I are relatively.

Btw, I’ve always wanted to witness a shooting star. I think I saw one with Drew while we were on the deck during the cruise but I blinked for half a second and now.. I’m having doubts about it. =\ So yes, one more time please. :)

Sometimes when you lose your way in life, all you need to do is find your way back to the starting point. It may take a while – one big circle, if necessary. But then, you realize that it’s all worth it. Because the start is where you truly belong.

Happy new year, everyone. :)
