Randomness.
Wanted to blog last week, but the late shift made me too lazy to blog. The earliest I reach home is 10pm, and at that time, I'm already in no mood to blog. So here I am, finally blogging again..
There's quite some stuff to talk about, but mostly random stuff. Quite suitable, since I've just established myself as the most random person in Green Team. Speaking of which, the lift in Haw Par Centre is the first I've ever come across that can hold less people than the maximum stated. It's supposed to be able to handle 20 passengers, but that day, there were like only around 15 of us inside and it was already overloaded. So many lifts I've been in, say that can only carry 10 people, but have no problem with 12 or so, but this is the opposite. Perhaps they should upgrade the lift. Heh..
So anyway, some time back, about 2 weeks ago, I had let Shi Hui and Michelle listen to the song written by me and Zi Chao. The nicer one, of course. So Shi Hui commented that the lyrics have no meaning, while Michelle said the tune isn't nice. Those 2 comments added together equates that both the lyrics and the tune is CMI. So I shan't say any further.
Well, I had initially wanted to blog on Valentine's Day, to say how each year's turn out the same, and how it seemed more like Total Defence Day's eve more than anything else. And I was thinking about what will happen if the siren wails on Total Defence Day itself and the whole call centre evacuates. But that never did happen. No fun.
So anyway, now I'm playing Kingdom Hearts Re:chain of Memories. Am now onto Riku's part of the story. I seem to be in a similar dilemma, struggling between light and darkness. It's a situation that's hard to comprehend, even for myself. For Riku, he's in a situation where he has to learn how to embrace the darkness and to make use of it, instead of shunning it due to it's power. Perhaps my situation isn't quite the same, but still, I'm also struggling with the darkness within.
I guess that's enough random stuff for now. I'm suddenly thinking how my Self, when I blog, is so much different from the way I portray myself in front of others usually. Sometimes I'm really lost about which is my true Self. (Notice the capitalized Self. Perhaps I will talk about it more in my next post..) I shall save my residual thoughts for a more.. structured post next time round. Till then..

New Beginnings.
The Chinese New Year is here. In case anyone doesn't know yet, my family isn't celebrating it this year because my grandmother just passed away last year. But it's alright, don't worry, I'm not disappointed in any way. It's somewhat a refreshing feeling, having time to reflect on the past year instead of the hectic visiting that goes on every year.
So I was thinking about how every year, everyone wishes everyone else a happy new year, to have improvements in studies, to enjoy great wealth, etc. Then I went on to think about how it's different for this year. But I don't think it'd make a difference for the year ahead. Suddenly it seems like we are just wishing for the sake of wishing. Tradition. It's almost the same thing as religion, I suppose. When a large group of people follow something or someone, people just follow. But the thing about tradition that is different from religion is that you don't have to believe in it. It's just something you do because everyone is doing it.
So it seems appropriate for me to add this picture here. This is actually "The Fool" card from a typical tarot deck, but recoloured by someone (I copied this from Wikimedia) so that it isn't licensed, and hence I don't have to give a damn about infringing copyright.
So you may want to ask, what's the link? No, it's not one of my usual "randomness". For those who have no knowledge of the tarot, here's the lowdown on "The Fool" card. The Fool is on the edge of the cliff. It may seem like a foolish thing to do, but it actually means to go with you intuition and explore new territories.
And it seems like that's what's happening to me these days. I'm experiencing many new things, and sometimes I think I really act like a fool, and it's not in the positive sort of way. It's really hard to describe, but.. I guess I shall just let intuition lead my way for now..
