30-hour ++ tomorrow...
@ beixin: yea... interesting people... that's a nice way to put it, i guess. bored, too.
@ gordon: hollywood... well it's pretty good at churning out the shounen stuff, gotta give it that. action-packed blockbusters and all that. still, does terribly in the shoujo-department though. and it's getting awfully predictable... did those rules come true for the most recent 007-film? i thought it did =]
as those who have been reading the signs might know (or i say "should") one thing that irritates me more than anything else is an indirect and roundabout way of saying something. a rejection can be, and should be done straight. going round and round the bush doesn't soften the impact for me at all. why? because i chose to trust an excuse given, but when i find out the real scenario, how do you think i'd feel? not just left out, much more than that...
papers first... mostly i've forgotten what the rest of the week mentioned but obviously i'll recall today's... it just struck me as quite ironic, that on one hand they're pushing all the way for the yellow ribbon project and stuff, heck there's even reports asking to give the gold medallist guy (sorry, forgot his name) a second chance and must welcome him back into the community and all. no, i'm not saying that's a bad thing, in fact that's a good thing, since this society is one that is rather... unforgiving i could say. then again, a few pages later there's a report about how husband/boyfriend abuse is on the rise and how women should "stand up for themselves", "report it, don't let the situation repeat" and that "it isn't going to get any better with time". wow. so now we're saying nip the bud before it grows into a large problem before allowing time to perhaps, hopefully heal the problem, eh? make up your mind someday...
...
a rather good saying went "suitors can always be friends, but friends can never be suitors" (azrael, 2002) believed it for quite some time too... but then on hindsight, which is always 20/20, it seems the reverse isn't true either. for some reason true friends and suitors cannot coexist, in any sense... well i haven't experienced, or seen anything like it anyway >_>. when courting, we stand to lose freindship and campanionship. we all know the awkwardness and stuff of a failed courtship, isn't it? and it's few and far between that i actually meet people who can still talk and interact with "ex-courters " as nothing has happened... i dunno. maybe something is changed?
just one more story before we go. actually thought of all this watching a simple animation, really. this is why i prefer shojo stuff a lot more =] though it sounds weird coming from me lar =P
picture this: a young child a a candy floss stand. he's trying to pick between blue, pink and white as his mother stands behind patiently. he's only allowed to choose one. an agonizing decision for the young kid. a second ticks by... half a minute... one minute... *boom* sound of thunder is heard as the sky opens up and it starts to pour. mom picks up child hurriedly and dashes home. too bad, no cotton candy.
which provoked some thought... the price to pay for indecision may not always be obvious, and it can be delayed for some time. in this case, the young kid didn't get cotton candy. the next time we face such decisions though, the price may be a lot higher than that. then again, rushing headlong into lousy choices isn't wise either. so what is the best solution?
P.S. that scene was quite good, considering the circumstances of the series i'm currently watching. it's some super-entangled web of relations. but let's not go into that...
