Friday, July 06, 2007 Some time ago my mum told me the story of how 一切都是最好的安排. It's a corollary of how everything will work out all right in the end, and whatever will be will be, etc. Recent events had me wondering how it could all still work out to be "right", and I was troubled with how to take things into my own hands and set it to my definition of "right". But now I've got an idea of how things might actually be as they should be, and I know what I must do. So I will make use of this lull to continue slaying my dragons and levelling up, and I will know when I've done enough of that. I realise how easy it is to mistake possessiveness for love, and how even some of the most clear-headed people I know can suffer from myopia. Someone once shared with me, years ago, that when loving someone, to "think not of what she can do for you, but what you can do for her". But 当局者迷, and when viewing the situation through a miasma of pain, it is all too easy for the self-defence mechanism to kick in, and to start taking unilateral measures and make selfish statements. Instead of wallowing in hurt and self-pity, try to take a deep breath, take a step back and analyse one's own behavior and feelings. And, on a lighter note, here today's "All in a day's work": - L was complaining about the way Sharapova plays tennis. About how she grunts and shouts with every single swing (which remind me of Animal Farm, oddly). J quipped that she gives a whole new meaning to "tennis racket" - L then said that he wouldn't mind if she only grunted when making power shots. Adn happily rejoined with "Every shot is a PowerShot(tm)", which ironically, Sharapova did say. - J and L were discussing travel insurance, and J was talking about his, when X had a question, "Does it cover both legs?" "No, only the left leg! Heh heh heh" Only 6 more days of fun and laughter.. well, hopefully, 4 more years of the same after we graduate and come back to work proper.
