Helpless..

Problems are like waves, keep on smashing me and beating me down.
There is nothing for me to hold on.
I feel so helpless.
I can't think properly.
I can't make up my mind.
I don't know what i want.
I don't know what am i supposed to do.
I am not happy.
I just want to be alone.
Can i just run away, leave everything behind?

Special Chilli Paste

Pumi just came back from Thailand and as promised, he brought back a special chilli paste from his country. Well, you must be wondering, what is so special about the chilli paste. According to him, the chilli paste is made from one kind of insect known as Water Strider. It is an predatory insect which can stand effortlessly on water due to their non-wetting legs. They rely on surface tension to walk on top of water and hunt for other small insects or invertebrates. We were all very excited and eager to try the chili paste though the thought of the insect made us feel grossed. We brought with us the special chilli paste and also the normal chili paste (without the insect) out for lunch. Pumi was killing us with suspense as he wouldn't tell us which chilli paste was the one with insect inside. He wanted us to taste both of them and sort out which was the one with insect. i must say all my collegues are real risk taker, lol....They just scooped up the chilli paste and tasted them one by one. I was expecting very extreme reactions like distorted facial expression, choking or coughing from them but, nothing happened. Everybody was calmed and they claimed that they know which one was the special one as it had a very strong kind of smell. I admit that i am the most timid one among them. I was the last one who scooped up the chilli paste and then reluctantly put into my mouth. The normal chilli paste tasted normal, and the special one tasted strange and i just couldn't help myself but to spit out the paste :( lol...At the end, Pumi was the only one who eat his rice with the special chili paste. To him, the chilli paste is one of the most delicious food in this world..lol...and he was disappointed as non of us liked the chilli paste, lol..too bad..he didin't finish the chilli paste and reserved some for Danny as Danny was not with us today. Below are some pictures of the Water Strider which i found from internet. Enjoy and Good night..:)

Saturday Outing..

Finally i manage to watch Night at The Museum 2 with my friend. As expected, it has many funny scenes which send us bursting into laughter. But i think i prefer the story line of Night at The Museum. My friend was quite blur and couldn't understand the story of Night at The Museum 2 better as he never watch Night at The Museum before and almost all of the characters from Night at The Museum were brought into Night at The Museum 2. Actually i planned to treat my friend the movie as i think it was very nice of him to accompany to watch the movie. When the lady behind the ticket counter said 20 dollar for two tickets, i took out 20 dollar notes and past the notes to the lady. The lady, holding the 20 dollar notes, was dumbfounded and staring back at me. I was just about to think what's wrong with it and felt so embarassed when the lady showed me one of the notes that i gave to her. It was 2 dollar note instead of 10 dollar note. Only did i realise that i just gave her 12 dollars only! OMG!!!! At that moment, I really hoped that there was a hole right in front of me so that i could hide myself inside..lol..At the end, my friend gave 10 dollar to the lady instead. Since there was quite a plenty of time left before the movie start, we had ice cream at Gelare. I was really shocked as the ice creams were so expensive, one scoop with waffle cost $7.70. I chose the strawberry flavored ice cream as they didn't sell the mint flavored one. Again, i lose in the "who should pay" battle and was treated by my friend again :) We had our dinner at 新香港茶餐厅. Actually i was not very hungry. So, by the time i finished my black pepper chicken chop spagheti, i felt really full. I hoped that the lime juice could help to speed up the digestion in my stomach but it was to no avail, lol..Again, my friend treated me this meal. I am so grateful for his generousity and company, hopefully i will have the chance to treat him a nice meal too next time. Thanks lots! I have a great time :)

孤独,无奈

我一直以为我是很坚强的,也许在别人的心目中亦是如此。原来我也害怕孤独,想找人陪。当我们渐渐长大了,很多事情也因此而变得复杂。我们无法随心所欲地做心里想做的事,为了让身边的人开心而必须忽略自己的感受。也许在自己心里,所决定的事是对的,不过在别人心中却不是那么一回事。不想成为一个自私的人,却不知不觉地把自己捆绑起来,好辛苦,好难过。以前总是无法了解为何有些人,可以一意孤行,去做自己想要做的事,不理会身边人的感受,伤透了爱他们的人。现在深深地体会到,他们何尝也不是无奈的,该如何是好?要么就让自己开心,要么就让别人左右自己的人生,自己躲在一角难过流泪。爱一个人,不是应该让他开心吗?每一个人本来就不是同一个体,为什么就不能站在他们的角度来看待一件事情呢?很多时候,事情可以很简单,却让我们弄得复杂。我们以为所讲所做的一切,都是对的,都是为他们好,却没用心听听他们的声音,了解他们的想法。快乐看似很简单,却往往遥不可及。不是每个身边人都会了解,只有体谅和成全,我们才能飞得更高,更远。
