"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.

I read, I laugh and I cry
That is the only reasonable reason I can come up with my not so recent interest in blogging. It has the purpose to show me my past. Sweet and bitter, hence bittersweet. I am not surprised with the respond I got from whoever who bothers reading my blog. Doing some reading of older posts do really make me feel bittersweet.
Laughing at my stupid oldself, the stubborn and lazy asshole. I didn't progress much but if I can laugh at things I wrote in the heat during those moments it means I have let it go. Bitter of the no show when jon needed me. Sweet as the theory that hard work does pay is proven correct.
Life is a book, my book is blessed with the warmth my family and friends gave me. It is a good story thus far. A page as a year, a paragraph as a month and a sentence as a day. With 23 pages filled, my life has been truly a blessed one. I thank god for what I have and hope I can live on with a conviction to speak good of others, do good for others and be good to others. 存好心，说好话，做好事. The only thing I won't do is naming my daughter chin san hao. 陈三好, I think any daughter will hate you if you ever name her so.
I do not aspire my book to be like the topsellers of Dan Browns and J.K. Rowlings. A boring but peaceful story with a happy ending is what I dreamed of. Some characters might have perished along the way in my story line, I shall continue this story...one word at a time...till the last word of the book. This is my life thus far, how is yours?

dream, dream not
I have a dream, you have a dream, he has a dream, she has a dream...dream high, dream more, dream not! I have a dream but I do not work towards it then it remains a dream that I can only see in one third of my lifespan. It's ok to dream a dream so sweet and pray that it never ends but in this fair world there are dreams that can never be. Dream of fame, dream of wealth, dream of another half that is perfect, dream on...
Since it is so bad to dream why bother to dream? Firstly it is absolutely free for this world where money talks and you end up a happier person eventhough only temporarily. Martin Luther King had a dream and Obama realized it, The American Dream. Not as popular as he might be before, he is still what exactly the american dream is about. Dreamworks continues to churn out high quality movies that captured our imagination with the dream. The day you stop dreaming, you lose the drive, the sight of your future and the dream you dreamed. Les Miserables sung a song called I dreamed a dream. Listen to it, it brought susan boyle fame.
Dreaming is my forte but not working. I dreamed with passion but worked without. Such irony that is no wonder that I have not graduate yet. I can imagine that lim zhi hao laughing at me right now...DAMNIT! On second thought I can have a try with Dreamworks though...

priceless serenity
It's not easy but I have found inner peace. Totally at ease with myself, possibly because I don't have to sit for exams anymore. Sitting at home doing nothing is a luxury itself that many call it pure laziness and a parasite that can be do without in today's society. I know very well what I will become if I continue my lazy ways but this is a priceless moment of serenity. Life is good when you don't have to worry about money, career and maybe meeting a girl some day. The same applies for the gals. MEN = Money + womEN. The M from money is not an issue right now and I think I can cope without the latter EN from women as long as the M is still in abundance.
Everyone will wish that their parents are so rich that they don't have to work. I am no exception but I always bear in mind the sweat and blood they put in to earn every cent for the family. Rich or poor, it is the result of your hardwork. You are born rich not because of luck but rather your ancestors had worked dilligently to amass the wealth you possess today. My parents worked hard because they believe in a future where we the children can live a good life. It is the ultimate aim of every parent. You might dislike their approach to parenting and communicating with you but never ever doubt their intention to provide you with a future. Some said your children is your creditor in the previous life and you are paying back good money. I would see it this way - your children is your investment of the future. You invest your time and money in your children and hope to see your investment grow into something you would be proud of one day. This investment is a life time binding one, be it at a loss or otherwise you are held liable for it. In sharemarket investment you have the choice to abandon ship and start afresh. Can you discard your children as easily as that? This form of investment is the most rewarding one as well for it is your own mirror image, your future representative when you are six feet under.
I do aim high in life but my actions are not in sync. The least of what I can do is to ensure my parents will be silently proud to have me as their son. I might not be rich and famous but I am proud to have parents that believe in my future. I carry the surname of Chin with fierce pride! So dad and mum, do I get some form of reward for this declaration? Jokes aside, I have some serious work ahead of me. This priceless moment of serinity, enjoy it while you can Darren. The next time you feel like taking a break you could be 50.
I dreamed a dream where it never ends but there are dreams that can never be.

You are a nice guy, so what?
How I hate the tag. Friends would always recall fondly of me as the one being nice to others and easy to bully. Perhaps I am being harsh on certain things but I really do not like the image of being a soft person that people like to take for granted, bully or even misunderstand. I do possess a darker side which I do not show very often. So I might be blur, that's what the majority of you all think. Why am I slow as well? It is because I have plenty of options lined up in my brain but do not know which to choose hence the perceived slowness and bluriness. You think you know me well? You are wrong if you think I am really blur. It might just be your mere perception of me...
