Let The Bullets Fly (让子弹飞)!
Have you ever had one of those movies that you think “ohhh I know how this is going to end out”, but by the middle of the show you’re not sure what to believe and what is going to happen anymore? (Kinda sounds like Wild Things - I’m sure the movie buffs will remember that raunchy smokin’ show starring Denise Richard and Neve Campbell)
Well throw in a bit of...

Da Day of Teh Funneh
I mentioned before about Project 365, which has not been going on very well because I tend to only put things up here that I want to share, and that also depends on whether I have the inspiration and time to put it down. Despite what some people think *ahem*, researchers are not as free as some of them appear.
(Yes that’s a pet peeve of mine, that people tend to go “but you researcher...

Sometimes it's just not funny
I’ve been known for my sensitive personality, and moderately short fuse. Ok maybe it’s a little shorter than just “moderately” - I get quite a few remarks on that. Yet I can’t help but think that I’d swing to this extreme because it makes me treat others better than the other extreme; to err on the side of caution, if you will. I believe firmly that there are things that...

Stupidity.
The presence of “stupid people” is a peeve to us all, and I hear complaints about them day and in day out, sometimes from myself. Some time ago I had a massive change of mindset.
We often think everyone else is stupid - from our teachers to our students, lecturers and tutors, professors, subordinates, colleagues, friends, mates, and so on. But we hardly truly say that we ourselves are...

Friends
I recently put up a poem on friends, on how some people seem to be our friends, call themselves our friends, but when the crunch comes, don’t seem to fit the bill.
Now personally, I have a very small circle of friends - I’ve come to realize that these are honest people. Not honest just in the sense of how they make a living or how they conduct business, but the kind that won’t...

To my friends
Some friends are friends; you call them so Because you know them for too long For the word “acquaintances” to flow But “friend” still sounds somewhat wrong
Some friends are friends because they want to be And they often have things to ask Something that they can play to their gain But you won’t really be bothered to laugh
Some friends are friends because you share a...

The Pigeonhole
A friend of mine, whom I met some time back, left her job in the legal arena to start a cafe of her own - I was very honoured to be invited to an opening party and pranced my way down, all ready to take photos and see the place for myself! Unfortunately the only camera I own is the one on my iPhone and so the photos aren’t of terrific quality. (I will have to get a camera to rectify that...
How I Met Your Mother S4
Ted: What you and Tony have, what I thought for a second you and I had, what I know that Marshall and Lily have, I want that. I do. I'm waiting for it to happen, keep waiting for it to happen, but I'm tired of waiting.
Stella: I know you're tired of waiting and you might have to wait a little while more. But she's on her way Ted. And she's getting here as fast as she can.
One day, maybe when you've finally woken up.
thrillspill:
Friends are necessary but not all friends are good for you. Don’t trade the good apples for the rotten ones cause someone else might pick it up and you will never get it back.
