Little things that makes life livable; but too much is never good, take them one bit at a time. And when you don't have time for any bit of these, wait, and be patient. Your time will come! 

Those were the times

It was like a childhood dream come true...
But dreams tend to move faster, then disappear into a cloud of smoke, and memories of it starts to fade.

And when dream becomes reality, it suddenly become less of a dream.

But yes, those were the times; and I don't hate to say it!

I am your strength

"Instead, surround yourself with people who have qualities you admire, who are smarter and more driven than you. Let their success rub off. Soak up their energy, and let their drive help push you to be better too."

长大后

有时候，不经意闭上眼睛，眼前会出现很多画面；还好大多数出现的都是小时候愉快的记忆

当时身在那个画面里，不会特别有感觉...

长大后，一切都变了

Simple pleasures

Happiness doesn't need to come from eventful happenings. 

This weekend is probably more important to me than the one I had during June 15 last year. 

But all these are possible only because of one basic underlying assumption that indeed occurred in the real-world: no button was pressed to recall us! 

Rejoice... Till the next standby

Best weekend I've ever had

So many things happened this weekend: I saw my quarter-brother cum childhood playmate turn 21; then I saw the single most important friend of my life getting married...

But none of them is the actual highlight of the week. 

This is. 

"All these precious moments, with you by my side"

白痴, you lost the bet and got married first. 

We met when I was 7 and you 9. And that was more than 15years ago... We were once rivals in class, loggerheads that didn't see eye to eye. Then suddenly we became friends, and suddenly best friends: getting detentions together, getting zero got ting xie together, went Australia together, and even both acted as Prince Charming together (which many may now find impossible to believe...). We fought each other, and even "shared" girlfriends (of course I won't fight you for this one, I have an awesome girlfriend now)... I lost both my first kiss and two front teeth because of you. And if that wasn't dramatic enough, I once raised a chair to chase you out of my house, for reasons that shall be buried along with your bachelorhood. And yet, I am still here emceeing for this bastard's wedding. 

不能同年同月同日生，但愿同年同月同日死

So childish was the three of us to have actually done something so retarded after watching Taiwanese idol drama. But no, up till today, I hold true to this vow. Even if time has worked against us to be as tight as we used to be, 白痴, you are still my best friend, my soulmate, my brother of a slightly different colour. 

Congratulations, and don't let me wait too long for a son/daughter of a different colour...

Cousins are your first best friends

You'll only stop lagging when I die! Happy 21st! 

--

No more fighting over who's the more powerful character; no more sleepover at my place or yours; no more adults scolding or comparing us; no more hanging out every Saturday doing nothing. 

Things have changed; we have changed... But nothing changes the fact that we share 1/4 of our DNA. No matter how different we have become, we are still the same. We will still watch each other grow, till the day one of us bid our longest friendship goodbye... 

Year 2 Sem 1 Phase 2

Mid terms are over; next phase: presentations. 

And of course, collection of results. 

3101 was a pleasant surprise... Let there be more! 

Your Prince

I am not.

--

I am glad I am the one you talk to and not other guys cos a shoulder to cry on is a dick to ride on

(not like you will but yea... Hahah)

So... "run to me, tell me your secret, I promise I'll keep 'em"!

--

So you were crying on my shoulder (and didn't fulfill the second portion) and I started to think...

You are so imperfect.
You lack social confidence, or for the matter of fact, you lack even self-confidence (or even confidence at all)
You are a follower, and you are too weak to be a leader
You have little emotional control, and you are too fragile internally to survive this world.

But, that didn't really matter...

To me, you are so perfect.
You show me your truest self without the need of courage;
you lead my heart to everywhere you go (even all the way to Prague, and to liking Matcha too, of course)
and you control my every emotion, and have the ability to make a strong-headed guy succumb to patience

You don't have to be perfect for everyone; no one is really perfect actually, not you and definitely not me.
Be who you are, and don't force yourself to abide to circumstantial influence; if what is socially acceptable is not what you are, then don't be!
Be yourself and be Jason-acceptable, or Hanni-acceptable, or Yuanwei-acceptable, or Cheryl-acceptable, or whoever-you-think-is-important-acceptable.
Not everyone-else-that-don't-matter-to-you-(aka socially)-acceptable

Not everyone needs a large group to function, and you for one, is someone that treasures those that you keep in your small circle; and that is why everyone you have kept close appreciates you. Don't every try to change that by being "sociable"!

--

And yes, "everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are" But why would you want everyone to experience what you really are? Let only a small handful of privileged few have the honour!

--

And no, I am not your Prince.

Machiavelli wrote the Prince to advice Princes from the past on how to govern a country.

The context of this phrase is when he told the Prince to do evil when it is necessary; and that the Prince don't have to be really moral, he just need to appear to be so because not many people will have to know what you as a Prince have to do.

Sometimes, people over-romanticize something and the actual meaning of the word/phrase loses its meaning.
I am sorry, but the Prince you were quoting, the one that has to do evil and put on a false facade, is not me.

--

And I am sorry, that you have allowed yourself to embrace the socially distorted meaning of "sociability"

Miniaturescapade

Simple but not mediocre definitely; you may not realize (and complaining bout not having the time to run now) but we've been having more time together this year... 

To more happy times! >:) 

(Just don't be so happy we feel sad when we get our exchange HAHAH)

Where are youuuuuu?

Just a random thought that I've been waking up early for quite a fair bit this semester, and now it's my turn to leave you behind in a heap of mess!

(You're in the picture by the way hahahah)

琴棋书画

Been trying to explore my limits recently and by daring to try, I've failed countless of times; but it's the few that succeed that marks the sweetest of life. 

Here's to all the despaired and lost souls like my comma: do not dream

Shipwreck

We're all in this together, tangled in a story by an author called Fate. 

But Fate only brings us, our differences, and our ambitions thus far; we are now holding the pen to our future...

Greatest lesson: differing values are ideas waiting to explode; how, is the challenge
