曾经很单纯，不问付出多还是少。现在长大了反而变质了，往往喜欢以小人之心去猜度他人。 我知道这世界是残酷的， 但是如果人人都像我那么小人，试问还有希望可言吗？ 我不知不觉地被改变了...
我的自我批判毛病又发作了，或许处女座的人就是那么喜欢完美，那么喜欢挑剔。 说其他的吧，我很想念我以前的朋友。我望着旧照片和现在的他们比较，心中感到很安慰，因为他们都活得很好呀。 虽然友情没以前那么好了，我相信我们见面时应该还可以闲谈几句吧。 人，要往前望。 没错，要一直的往前望。 但是我也希望是和故友一起往前望。 我相信我最错的是一直以为友情是永在的，不必那么费心去维持。 我几乎在德国的三年日子里，一通电话，一封信，甚至一封简单的sms也没寄过给朋友。 我一厢情愿的任为朋友是不会走掉的。我,真的错了...

I am nobody, but I am entitled to an opinion
There is a common rule in determining whether you are a likable person or not which is rather simple. When you notice people around you suddenly avoiding you and being rather cold towards you, the signs are there that you have done something wrong which irked the people around you. Of course there is always the possibility that people are jealous of your whatsoever success and therefore went all the way out to boycott you. Such malice should not be tolerated by any means. At the same time, we should always review our ownself before pointing the blame at others. It is always easy and sometimes pleasurable to criticize or poke fun at others but when the roles are reversed how do you feel? Everybody should be held responsible in this situation where both parties are liable to any potential damages caused.
As wrong as you are in criticizing a particular person, it is even more wrong to overreact with violence under provocation. I have a notoriously bad reputation in poking fun at others and I certainly have received my fair share of rebukes. Some call it karma, some said you got it coming! Fair and square, so it seems...Living in this society, you cannot go out and say something hurtful to others and expect the other party to accept it as a joke. That is still not the worse it seems. The most annoying aspect is that many people refuse to pratice the give and take concept. I am sure I am guilty as well but I have always restrained myself not to beg for favours so cheaply. There IS a difference in asking for a helping hand and insisting others to help you. Are you entitled to be angry if others refused you? Who are you? Are you some God or some mighty emperor that other people must entertain your request and demands? I have to learn to say NO but at the same time must accept it graciously when people said NO to me as well.
I am not perfect and will never ever be but I have learned to talk as I see it because even the imperfect and insigficant ones have a right to express their opinions. I am a pot calling the kettle black because the kettle refuse to believe that it is black as well! Do you see the point?

7 pounds
"seven gifts to seven individuals deemed worthy by Will Smith's character, apparently to atone for seven deaths caused by the auto accident he caused in the plot."
This movie is rather old and I just happened to watch it recently and I was deeply moved by the concept of repaying your debt with a pound of flesh. Although the ending is deeply disturbing as Smith's character committed suicide but it clearly brought the intended message abroad. Morality issues aside, the idea of giving a new lease of life to others by donating your organs to those in need should be lauded as an noble act. At the same time it must not be done in such a cruel way as portrayed in the movie.
What is playing in my mind right now is that the intention might be good and lets say the outcome turned out as intended, would you ever condone whatever foul play involved in the process of achieving the greater good? Throughout the history we have witnessed many sacrifices being made willingly or unwillingly in order to achieve a greater good and it is all up to the future generations to judge our actions.
I know I am questioning some fundamentals of life but what I really want to know is whether it is acceptable to sin in the process in order to achieve the happy ending everyone wanted. Many will be cynical that the outcome would not turn out to be as wished and the sin will be even deeper. It is really actually an non issue because we can never foresee the future!............................I am having an headache now because the angel and the devil is fighting in my brain, so I shall leave it that way.
The cup of water is half full or it is half empty? The egg comes first or the chicken comes first? I think sleep comes first!!!

A glowing tribute
To all my dearest seniors in germany,
It suddenly struck my mind that time is running short and the happy days are indeed coming to an end. In a matter of a month most of them will be done with their studies and probably heading back home one after another. The countless parties, lunches, dinners and movie sessions will probably go on but with even less participants from now onwards.
For there are millions of reasons to seperate there will always only be 1 reason to gather, love. In this context this love of friendship has brought many souls together in a foreign land and made me feel really right at home. I do have many friends of the same age or younger but the feelings of friendship are different with seniors all together. I am being careful not to mention their taboo, the age factor. They are like elder brothers and sisters to me in that sense where I look up to them.
Everyone has their unique virtues that I can learn from, some possess maturity, some with diligence and intelligence in abundance, some with fierce ambition, some with the joyful and graceful demeanour. Most of them do share the common thing though, they have been very successsful role models.
There is time to gather as well as time to part ways although I am pretty sure I will see them again soon. I dedicate this glowing tribute to every single one of you and offer a big thank you for all the priceless moments spent together. The future is bright and it is our time to show them what we can do. Yes we can!
Age is a funny little number thingy, the bigger the number, the better you become. So I will jokingly say good riddance to the 24 year olds and it is time the 23s take over the helm. On a side note, Aachen and Düren are such peaceful places nowadays in their absence...hahaha!

2012 feat the unfinished story
The header is just some crazy idea running in my mind right now. 2012 is the latest movie everyone crazed about which I still haven't watch and the unfinished story is an original piece of piano music composed by the brilliant isisip. To me they both have the same theme...sadness and sorrow which is to my ultimate liking.
Brings me back to the notion happiness can be found within sadness, which means in the presence of sadness, happiness can be more profound and being appreciated more. This is akin to being in the midst of darkness and you found a small faint candle light shining warmly back at you.
If 2012 is true, yeah I mean IF, who would want it to be true for god's sake! That means we only have barely 3 more years to live. Why do most of us fear death? The reason is plain simple...we human beings have heart. The heart to care and love is why many are reluctant to face death. To love and to care can be of course used in many different ways and it is not up to me to say if any of the ways are wrong. Somebody loved wealth and fame more than anything else while some cherish relationships and bonds more. In the end you fear death because you do not wish to forego things you have in this world. With that in mind, it doesn't matter whether 2012 is true or otherwise. The planet earth and its' inhabitants are all part of this unfinished story. This is the god damned reason why we have to learn history...it is all other people's unfinished story!
If darren is the director of 2012, he will put this piano piece the unfinished story as the ending theme song.
