Not so funny today but I must admit I am a blog maniac, partial twitter addict and a design monstress, a bookaholic, a facebookaholic and a constant day dreamer who talks very little and writes and works a heap. Probably thinking 90% of the time, nosing into obersations of people and things that are swimming around me. I cannot stop to think why life has to go on this crazy and why are we so complicated ? While all these adorable questions floating around my cute head, I do not deny the fact that I keep on banging on it to remind myself what life is. And how much I desire to lead a happy life. I live in a city state and needless to say money is important no matter how much I want to stay in my area of interest. I need to pay bills. So I need to learn the art of money making. I probably was born in the wrong place. But if I could have it, I would very much prefer to live in the countryside where I build my happy house with little animals and beautiful flora with me. Well, obviously I am just dreaming on. My parents live here and my relatives live here. But I really believe that determination and aspirations could see me through. I may come up something very novel to live on or to live by. I could just jolly well create my own life that could be just as good as living in the mountain of paradise.
So what defines a happy life ? To a whole lot of people, especially those who live in the city, money and power are the most important. It is sad that students these days are thinking nothing but these areas, which is so wrong. Society and their own family has taught them that life is a wretched jungle of great pragmaticism. And to be successful in life, you need to be ruthless and hypocritical. If everyone were to live by those standards, we don’t need natural disasters to destroy us. We simply need our own lack of heart to kill us all before the next great meterorite finishes us all.
I believe my elfin litle life is about learning how to love. It need not be the boy-girl relationship type of love. It could be the love for nature, your family, siblings and parents. It could just be a pure love for people or any living beings who need your help and care. Anyone who fails to understand this basic need to learn how to love and show empathy is an empty soul by heart in the saddest case. With such cunning and sly mind at heart, the invidividual and society as a whole cannot possibly be a happy and sustainable one.
For this material world, it is incredibly difficult to find very nice people. And I cannot judge people by my standards. I can only take them as they are and try my best to see them from the best angle.
To live a life with deceit and fear is a sad one. And I believe that most people are acting in defense. I have been thinking about how I should treat people. Sometimes being deceived is an extremely angry feeling. But then again, to live life angry and always on the defense decreases your quality of life. It basically drains you. You might as well take it easy and discard any kind of defense.
Why block your life out in fear and anger when you could just simplify your life with kindness and purity ? If we could pay more time in thinking how a relationship (between people at work, at play or in any kind of relationship) it is not hard to find that the common demoninator to almost all of the problems existing in the world, ever since the start of human civilisation, has always been a lack of simplicity. Just love for love’s sake for a healthier and much more meaningful life. Do not cheat but to say what you think in the most respectful manner possible. Simply be yourself and let your heart fill with love and care; and life will take very good care of you.
PS: Would you agree with my elfin thoughts ? It may be somewhat childish, but it works for me. Romancing away with my ideals of life — my lifetime partner of sorts…
Life on a head of hair. January 2, 2009

head of hair...
Recently I have been worrying about hair loss. This may
sound lame but I often notice that people who think too
much have either (i) no hair (ii) little hair (iii) white hair
(iv) grey hair (v) a permutation of the above ; and I have
been thinking too much lately. Everytime before
bedtime, I always feel my head seems to getting lighter
and lighter. Not because the head is getting smaller, but
it psychologically feels that my hair is lesser. My hair
dresser says its hair stress from the books and things I
like to read and ponder. And I get alerted by that.
Maybe that’s one of the reasons why I want to sing song
– so I don’t get aged that quick. I’m not that old yet to
lose my hair before they get grey or even white…
People are very strange creatures. Most of us want to do
a lot of unnecessary stuff that can stress a lot of our hair
strands away. Beats me why, but I can name quite a
good number of crazy things people do to get simple
issues complicated. Why can’t people be simple is
beyond me. You cannot be simplistic but you can be
simple and simplified.
Life and health are closely related. I am not perfect or
even very good at it, so I am also in the process of
learning. I think I stress too much….I used to have a very
thick head of long hair…
Hopefully this is a psychological thing. (rubbing my head
of hair just to check if its still there)

I was swinging my way home as usual when I heard the loud barking noise in the neighbourhood. I walked out of the area and chose to walk on the wet pathway in the dizzling rain. Walking and kicking all the way in the dark, I heard something was flying off into a distance. I thought I kicked a pebble, only to realise later that I actually flipped a garden snail. All of sudden, I noticed that there were dozens of snails crawling everywhere.
I tried to gently turn it over to save it and I felt sorry for it that I had actually cracked its shell.
I told myself I would never jolly walk in that manner again. It may be a snail’s life but its still a living creature that didn’t do any harm on me.
It sounds kind of silly because people just step on snails and pass them over as trivial. Maybe people should start thinking more on these so-called trivial issues. A little bit of good anywhere adds up to a whole deal of goodness.
