Fantasy Vs. Reality

I know you guys out there are somehow being dragged down by some problems you are facing. Hope that this following reminder will keep you all awake and ready to procede on with your journey until the problems are too withered to cling onto you, and until you become the real problems winners, not because you are greater, more powerful than the problems, but because the problems quit halfway due to the fact that you are too perseverant.

There are times when we all retreat into fantasies, wishing more than anything to come back to reality only to find whatever problems we have faced dissolve into nothingness without our slightest effort. But more often than not, everytime we come back, the problems do not just remain wherever they have been, but also become somewhat "bigger". Then we retreat to the world of fantasies again, and when we come back this time, the problems are at their "biggest", fullest height, way too high beyond our reach. At this very instant, we decide to give up, not just on the problems but on our entire life too.

Hah Hah I might be that too perseverant. Thks for waking me up :P Heh Heh I hope I can successfully fill my mind with positive thinkings every secs of my life, but its a bit hard to do so though. I sometimes reach the peak of being happy, when suddenly sth unexpected happens till I can bear no more. Pretty obvious, BarBee, this is wat we call LIFE!

Oh one more thing left, wat an other great honor!!! I'm the first again :P

You can say that I'm too self-conscious, but Ven, is this post especially referred to me? I remember talking to you yesterday about my problem, and reading this post today really makes me feel like it's intended to discuss about it, according to the meaning of this post. I mean it's just what I intend to do now--resorting to fantasy.

To BarBEE: In fact, it is great that you are perseverent. Not many people possess such a quality. Anyway, i know you are like our junior here, given your age and your position as a freshman, but then like what Turtle has said, you are wiser than your age.

To Pheaktra: But when too much fantasization sets in, it is hard to keep your feet on the ground.

hmmm i think what most ppl do is just escaping from reality so that they don't need to deal with the problems and not retreating into their worlds of fantasy. No matter how hard you try, there is still a part of you that is aware of the reality.

To Bro Rex: But bro, you never know that there are others out there who are so scared of reality that they wish more than anything to seek shelter somewhere other than the real world. I am one of them...

A stranger within YOU

Has it ever occurred to you that there is actually a stranger lurking somewhere inside you? Maybe it sounds really mental and freaking weird here. But I really can’t help brooding over this. And the more I think of it, the more it becomes crystal clear it is indeed true that a stranger is actually living my life, a stranger who has eaten up half of my real “self”, shrouding me with a totally new cover to form a person I hardly recognize. There are times when I feel really happy, but why in God’s name do I look far from happy? It is at this point that people view me in a rather negative light. Even so, the last thing I ever wish to do is, of course, to blame them. I am more than sure that they will never be able to understand me. And then there are other times when I wish more than anything to become very close to certain people. However, my attitudes towards them betray me. Nothing but coldness always hangs in the air in their presence, much to my perplexity. I remember being approa

HAPPY St. Valentine's Day!

Take a careful look around you! There might be someone in the crowd there that wishes more than anything to be noticed by you, someone that you probably knows very well but has always been taken for granted, someone that has always been standing there in your doorway, someone that has always been ready to wipe your tears, and someone that has probably shed so many tears for you without your knowledge. Such a someone deserves attention too! Happy St. Valentine's Day! Make the best out of today!

The Good Old Time (2003)

I got this pic from Mov's facebook profile. Oh man!!! This pic is almost as old as our friendship. We were small and innocent and pretty carefree back then. If i am not mistaken, the pic was taken during our field trip to the Science Center, and those so many energetic young faces you are staring at were scholars from most of the ASEAN countries. Nostalgic indeed!!! Too bad that we have lost touch for quite some time now, and i have no idea what most of them are up to now. Loads of thanks to Mov, without whom i would not have had a chance to get hold of this priceless pic. At least in those many years ahead, i have got a pic of everyone smiling at hand, to which i can always refer for recalling sake.
