I found out that I don’t suit comedies when I only laughed once in the last comedy I caught in theaters – Bruce Almighty.
I thought it was pathetic, so there and then, I stopped watching comedies in theaters.
I think I actually laughed more in the recent movie I caught – Inception, than I did for Bruce Almighty.
Now the thing is, Bruce Almighty might have been funnier, but when my brain recognises a movie as a comedy, the threshold for laughing increases unreasonably.
I am one who has unreasonably high expectations and demands when watching movies in theaters. The environment and atmosphere of watching a movie in theaters matters a lot to me. Basically, my level of anticipation and expectations are correlated.
And when the environment isn’t right, the best show won’t be right for me. So was the case for Unriddle’s preview at Settlers. It won’t be right no matter what when you start running on the wrong track.
I would scream for you like I screamed for him, whole 2.5 hours.
And make the tears x2, at least :)
I always appreciate expression of one’s thoughts and views.
Compared to people who are indifferent, nonchalant or simply apathetic, those who expresses their opinion are more “alive” and “humane” to me.
But some times, to say isn’t better than to not say. Because we don’t have to stoop to their level. Surely we need to defend at times, but only if you can put up a convincing fight. If not, you are better off refining your skills, sharpening your sword and toughening your shield before you join in the next time round.
I’ve said this before,
一动不如一静.
Sometimes, inaction could be the best action after all :)
Don’t you think so?
The existence of Black is to contrast White and let us appreciate White better.
Well, if you think that SMN’s posts are pretty demoralising, the good thing is, it can’t get worse ;)
I wasn’t there, I wasn’t here before 2007. But enough has happened after that to make me realise how important it is for us fans to be humble.
Remember the shock when she missed out on the Best Actress’s nomination in 2007?
Remember the despair we had after she “rejected” The Defining Moment? When we no longer had the right to complain or even request, when all we could do was to wait, wait and pray?
And how about the heartache when the fancied Yuhang missed her first row seat? Or the numerous voting competitions, none of which we were fancied to win? Doesn’t matter we won most eventually, it’s worth rejoicing but nothing to be proud of; life goes on and we still ain’t fancied to win.
Sometimes I wonder if we even have any reason to not be humble. “Lux Veritas” is not yet a present tense. Even if it does become one finally, it doesn’t comes with lifelong guarantee.
I need a reminder or two at times too, but we will do fine together. Graciousness and humility, keep these in constant check :)
One day I will say/ask this and then smile and nod at the same time :)
Why is it that the star we so love can seem as though it no longer shines..
Because the backdrop so black that supports and allows it to shine has changed..
Giving way to the bright daylight and the star is no longer the only thing that is bright..
The star didn’t lose its shine..
It’s still there, but not with our naked eyes..
So this is why, you walk away into the shade, and never look up into the sky or try..

The very moment I thought I understood was the very moment I didn’t.
The very moment I thought I could be detached was the very moment I was sucked in.
The very moment I thought it was lovely was the very moment it was getting ugly.
The very moment I thought has arrived was the very moment that will never come.
The very moment I thought will never arrive was the very moment that came at the blink of eye.
This very moment, I thought of nothing, of nothing you thought I would be.
I know yet I don’t, but I know you don’t, or maybe you do? Still, whether you do or not is, n.o.m.b..
I knew that the person couldn’t be trusted but I am terribly disgusted to discover the extensive lies told.
It doesn’t matter too much to me since I never trusted this person in the first place, but what if this person has been lying not just to me and everyone else, but……
For a person who has been wearing a changeable mask, how true and real can this person be? There better not be any harm or hurt, there better not be.
以不变应万变?
I have always felt indignant whenever my GP tutor (as in teacher) generalises us back in JC days. But now I wonder if my indignation was even justified to begin with.
I wouldn’t say I am a concerned youth, and these days, I pretty much regard myself as apathetic too; yet at the same time, I feel that the label “apathetic” on some other youths might actually be a compliment for them. They are not just unconcerned, they are selfish and self-centered.
Perhaps we all are, but has this situation worsened?

撞日不如今日。
即时, 活好当下。
乐。
What exactly is that, have you thought of it?
I think, the way to embrace life is to embrace death. If it’s going to happen anyway, leave it till it happens. Concentrate about living than dying, even if it’s your last breath.
Is there something that you have been wanting to do but simply, did not? Nike says it best over here, “Just Do It”, because as what Adidas said, “Impossible is Nothing”.

You can never get back to the original state.
Just like how a deflated balloon will never look the same even after you let it return to its “original” state. Because, it’s stretched.
This applies to many things, including interpersonal relationships. So next time before you blow into a balloon almost instinctively, consider if you might just prefer it in its original state instead :)
We don’t understand why anyone would want to know more, more and more; not when we think that the happiest fans are the ones who are the simplest and know the least.
Ironically, I always get into trouble after refusing to know more than what I think I should; yet so many are trying to know more than what we think they should.
As we live in this era with such accessible information, have we been overloaded by information, and have our thirst for information grown to beyond satiation?
When you think that you are happier if you know more, chances are you are wrong. Because when you get unhappy for not knowing more/enough, the real bliss is when you do not desire to know more.
Think about it, before you start asking for more again.
And the sentence hit jackpot, it’s absolutely true.
“I” is first and foremost, and “together” is always the last consideration.
Think about it. Which is your first consideration?
And the joy and laughters from it?
How?
But more so of it being the dent destroying all possible “perfections”.
We will be back, stronger, more united and better.
Can’t avoid the disappointment but there were people who brought us smiles in this whole process, and these are the things we ought to remember instead :)
dropping in the dead quiet forum.
What happened?
No one knows.
