Lights off!


The office has started a week long campaign in view of Earth Hour this coming Saturday, and have asked for us to switched off the lights in the office during lunch time. Here's my ode to the whole idea:

Ghostly faces and lighted screens
All this talk about going green
What's the use if it's just an hour
Shouldn't we start by saving paper?

:P

Confused

How do you know if someone is telling you what they mean, or trying to send you a message by saying something on the contrary? And what if one sentence seems to convey a message that's totally opposite from the previous sentence? What if someone whom you thought was very angry at you asked you to take care? Why can't some people just say what they mean?

Why can't I say what I want to say?

Alice

Right now, I feel like Alice, tumbling down and down the rabbit hole, with all sorts of stuff being hurled towards me and there's nothing to grip or hold on to.

BFF

So I was having lunch (alone) today at D'Lish and playing on one of the TV screens was "Paris Hilton's New BFF". Although I can't hear the dialogue, but it was obvious what was happening - she was eliminating this group of people, one at a time, until the last one remaining will be her new BFF.

Then I had a discussion/argument with a friend after lunch and it got me thinking - how many BFF(s) do we have in our lifetime? Do we even know when someone is considered a BFF or does it take something catastrophic to make us have that realisation? I don't know. This friend only reminded me how difficult it is sometimes to keep a friendship going strong, what more a BFF or a relationship.

If someone, say, has a lot of friends - does he or she have to choose a BFF among them through a process of elimination? (Since by definition, there can only be one BFF, otherwise the friend won't be called Best Friends Forever). And if yes, how do you gauge your friends - from what they say? what they do? how they think? or like PH, how they ampu you?

And when you thing you found your BFF, to what extent do you tell one another things - putting the other person on the top of your speed-dial is one thing, but telling one another the time and date you cut your toenails or every seedy details of your personal/sex life? hmm...

Perhaps, it's safer to stick to the adage "we should just stay friends for now" :)

L'amour

Love and its complexities
Screws people and their mentalities
Why does it have to be so hard
When it comes to matters of the heart?

A moment of guilt

A moment of guilt and sadness just flashed across my mind...have I been really unfair and selfish?

我想哭

我想哭 你可不可以暫時別要睡
陪著我 像最初相識我當時未怕累
但如果 但如果說下去 或者
傻得我 彼此怎能愛下去

January

The sun is out
The streets are quiet
Without a doubt
January I'll be tired
