Listen to your heart
Raindrop beat relentlessly on my window panes as I gaze at the monitor thinking of how to phrase my thoughts...
Ok, I lied. It's not raining (even though the stoopid water piping system my neighbour put in for his fish pond makes me think it's raining ALL THE TIME!). Even if it really was raining, I would have no clue with my music on and my curtains drawn. (HEY! That rhymes! I'm a natural poet!)
My thoughts right now are all over the place, much akin to doing a jigsaw puzzle without the pieces that form the edges and without the box cover that shows the completed picture. I don't know where the pieces go nor do I have an inkling of what the final picture will look like. And so I am beginning to question something that's very important in life : dreams and aspirations.
My ex-girlfriend used to do something which pissed me off big time:
She liked to paint really nice and vivid pictures of how it's gonna be and I would dream together with her. I will adopt her dreams as my own.
Thereafter, she would do almost nothing to work towards those dreams. And when everything comes to nought, she would simply shrug it off and proceed to dream up another beautiful scenario without much regret or disappointment. I, on the other hand, would always be crushed that her hopes and expectations fizzle out without even sparks or smoke because I used to see her dreams as OUR dreams. She always argued that she was born under Pisces and Pisceans were dreamy.
Lately, I wonder if I am too idealistic. Maybe what she always did was right? If you don't hope, there'll be no expectations and when it all goes to shit, you prolly won't even feel a sting. Especially so for me since I always throw all my heart and soul into doing anything. My personal theory is that if I am not interested, I might as well not even start and waste any time. Sadly, the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry and I admit that's why I am often in a state of dejection.
Alas, sometimes hope is all we have. If I don't hope that my future would be exciting with lotsa stuff for me to do, I can just assume that I'll die a sad and lonely pauper, and just try to die by choking on my own saliva now.
I wish I could subscribe to the thoery of 没有期望， 就不会有失望。Sadly, I know I cannot live life like that... welcome to my little world where I am led blindly around by my heart. I won't regret anything cos I'm happy this way.
P.S : I'm happy when I'm with you. Come what may.

What the hell do I want???
I'm not dead. I'm not asleep. I'm not waiting because waiting implies expectations and when you have nothing to offer, you can't expect anything.
I guess I'm frozen and it's not funny when your heart is frostbitten...

Oops... I was supposed to do this earlier but I forgot. So here are the Chinese New Year group photos. Below are the pictures from the dinner.

Junyu's Rule to Marketing and Advertising
Junyu's rule on how to successfully target consumers:
If your product is aimed at men, then sell these 2 important points :
1. This product will get you dates with supermodels.
2. This product will help you save time and money, which u will need when dating supermodels.
If your product is aimed at women, then it's even easier!
1. This product will turn you into a supermodel.
As you all can see, I am damn bored.
I really need to get a job.

Groan...
Maybe the end of the world should come soon. Earth is popuplated by too many idiots and losers. I just read this in the papers today :
Apple sued for iPod user's hearing damage
The long and short of it is that this idiot is suing iPod for "inadequate warnings" that playing his iPod too loudly can cause hearing loss. I really wonder if the money is worth being labelled an idiot for life. I for one will just laugh condescendingly at this asshole if i ever met him in real life instead of sympathising with him.
Sorry.. gimme a second. I need to print a label to paste on my walls to warn my friends that "Banging your head against this wall may cause grevious injuries. Please consult your physician before attempting to disprove this disclaimer."
Wow... i can think of so many important warnings now...
Calvin Klein Underwear :
Warning! Buying underwear that is too small for you may cause severe discomfort.
Toyota :
Warning! Stepping on the accelator will cause the vehicle to move! Please consult the manual.
Brand's Bird Nest Drink :
Warning! Gulping bird's nest like a glutton may cause choking which may cause death.
Phillip Morris :
Warning! Touching the red hot end of your cigarette may result in burnt fingers. Proceed at your own risk.
OH CRAP!
DISCLAIMER!!!
READING JUNYU'S BLOG MAY CAUSE HEIGHTENED EMOTIONS. THIS IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS IN PREGNANT WOMEN. PLEASE CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE CONTINUING!
Phew. Now try to sue me!

带我远走高飞。。。
爱你错了吗 为什么会受到这么多惩罚
他们说的话 像针往心里扎
我心中的怕 不知该怎么做才可以放下
只不过想好好的爱一次啊
带我远走高飞 不去理会
这一个蜚短流长的世界布满虚伪
是你让我选择沉醉
繁星守侯月不能睡
只因为爱上了夜的黑
带我远走高飞 一起去追
有一个叫做幸福的世界没有泪水
我已经感觉到疲累
只想在你怀抱入睡
不在乎别人眼中是非
重新再出发 能不能让这天地不再吵杂
我的心里面 安静得不像话
故事的真假 没有多余的力气去分辨他
只不过想好好的爱一次啊
带我远走高飞 不去理会
这一个蜚短流长的世界布满虚伪
是你让我选择沉醉
繁星守侯月不能睡
只因为爱上了夜的黑
带我远走高飞 一起去追
有一个叫做幸福的世界没有泪水
我已经感觉到疲累
只想在你怀抱入睡
不在乎别人眼中是非
