alright. i'm capulating on this temporary emotional overdrive to say something. haha. just finished watching 'water boys 2'. despite the fact that i know some (which means isaac) will tease me about it, i must say i love this kinda high school dramas alot. so what if it isnt something classy or complicated. sigh. but everytime i watch this genre, i feel inspired and yet sad at the same time. something seemingly simple but deeply meaningful and thought provoking.

went out of my office for a smoke. and i was thinking 'hey, those japanese producers got it right'. THIS IS LIFE. scurrying about our lives, burdening ourselves with so many things we 'need' to do is fine. but it must ultimately serve the purpose of fulfilling our dreams etc. i bemoan the fact that our generation and after has been continuously taught to do things for the sake of doing it. have we lost our soul to the rapidly developing world ? have we lost precious time enjoying life in our so called 'pursuit of happiness' ?

how can a million or even a billion dollars earned ever compare to being together with a girl you deeply love ? or to the love you share between your closest friends ? or even to spending time watching the television at home with your family.

i remember telling yi shen. i believe that everyday will be spectacular. how can it be otherwise ? we're living our lives. we're enjoying precious moments every minute that cannot be brought back - isnt it even more precious ?

watching dramas is sorta an espcapism thingy for me. sometimes i really wish life could be as simple as that. reality is, unfortunately, otherwise. but so what ? just being able to feel alive is such great pleasure. i will never have enough of it. i'm so in lust for life. how may i ever give this up ?

we have crossed into our twenties. how long more is it when we start reminiscing the time we were this young. let our fires not be doused. we shall not be contained. there can never be any compromise in living our lives. let us take it by the balls and never look back in regret. let the world be torched by our presence.
