The “holier-than-thou” man with his pessimistic shoes

I’m thinking… I’m thinking… I’m thinking… Still thinking… you know what? It’s damn hard to start a freaking opening for a write up! I had never given a thought that I would be writing about this but a noob writer should never ignore a hunch. Ignore that. It’s just a theory I just came up with but hey, I have been sticking with this theory for my entire life and I like it.

All above are just craps. The story is just about to start and no worries, it is damn short.

I tried to see the beauty in everything and I get it, not everyone sees the beauty in everything. Then I began to question myself, why can’t he just see the beauty in all things, or at least some. Why? I tried to wave to him but there was no respond. And that’s when the answer strikes me. It’s not because he is stupid or smart, but because he is blind, too blind. Blinded by those pessimistic thoughts of his and NOT FORGETTING, his “holier-than-thou” beliefs. No wonder he is so blind. And then I wonder, if he is that blind, is it possible that he is that deaf too? Thus I whisper, scream and shout and yet, no words seem to be able to reach him. So my guess was right. He is too deaf to hear the beautiful voice in all things.

Despite these, there he is, knocking door to door, screaming for our attention to help him, when he himself, didn’t even realise that he is too blind and deaf to see or hear that we had try our best to give him what he wanted. All because he is the “holier-than-thou” man with his pessimistic shoes.

The Festival Mood

26th January 2011

By May Ling

“Chinese New Year is coming soon!”

Whenever this thought came across my mind, it is always accompanied by a smile and a sudden change of mood in me, especially when I’m not in a good mood. It makes me wonder all the time, why? What’s so big deal about this?

Like now, Chinese New Year is coming soon, technically in a week or so. There are all these post related to Chinese New Year. Whenever I come across it, and by that I mean the blissful ones, I can feel the mood changing in me.

The thing is, it’s not just about Chinese New Year. Any festival will do the trick. Every time when there’s a festival, they will come to me just like this, the exact same way. There are times when I’m all hype. And there are times, all of the sudden everything doesn’t matter to me anymore. All I can think of is smiling and talk about happy stuff or maybe play a prank on my close friends and laugh about the prank together. And don’t worry, the pranks are harmless and even the “pranked” laughed with us.

So it keeps me thinking, why? And all I could think of is must be the holiday and shopping. Nah, I doubt that is the answers. Maybe it’s how people celebrate it all the time. Family gathering and reunion of friends. You can see all those cheerful faces wherever you go during a celebration. It’s just so beautiful. I guess that’s the answer for my question.

Okay… my final conclusion, I’m weird. XD

A bigger ‘Get over’

24th August 2010

By May Ling.

Life isn’t fair, get over it. Does this sound familiar to you?

Whenever I’m depressed because things does not goes the way I want it to be, I use to just comfort myself with this quote. It’s true that life isn’t fair and I used to just leave it behind and get over with it.

Recently, I have encounter things that I never thought it would happen and it hit me hard. I was homesick and when I finally get over the homesick, it came, haunting me again when I least expect it. I had never cried that much in my entire life until now. First it was homesick, and then it was this betrayal I felt.

I guess it’s time for a bigger ‘get over’ time. I might be alone this time and this might be the cause for the emotional I went through but I shall stay strong, even if I’m now alone. And this time, I will try my best to fight for myself again. It might be a small step but I hope it will make a different.

Perhaps you might think I’m selfish and skeptical but the truth is, we live in a different cube and our way of thinking is so different that I had never realized it until recently.

All I’m hoping now is that I’m the one that is thinking too much. And that this will be over soon and it was all just a dream but I know part of it would not happen, especially the dream part. After all, this isn’t Inception where you can just woke up from your dream and everything just poof or just get someone into your brain and plant the idea of all of this things never happen in your dream. Well, since this isn’t Inception, all I could do now is stay strong and be positive and take a little step at a time.
