Its sunday evening 6pm and I'm supposed to be meeting my friend in iluma. I overslept cause I was having a terrible flu (a result of chilli crabs!). Chilli crabs are so powderful. I ate a crab for lunch yesterday and the effects were felt in a few hours time. I feel terribly sorry to my friend.

After 19 years of living, I'm beginning to see a trend in how the year progresses. Like the stock market, or the general economy, there is a trend and history always repeat itself. That is because humans are always greedy but fearful, and the same goes for us in our everyday lives. The same old things will happen over and over again. In life, every year is similar to the previous in some way, whether you see it or not. The same old feeling at the same old time of the year comes, and I always wonder why it feels so familiar, only to realise there's a trend in life. Of course, every year is different in its own way and different people/things will impact and change your life but still, the trend is there. I see my upward trend in the long-run, its time to identify yours too! (if you believe in trends)

For faith, I'm willing to sacrifice. I believe this is very true in reality. Nothing much really belongs to us. This includes our wealth, health, time etc.; we merely borrowed it for a few decades before returning it. There is nothing much we can afford to lose since it can be taken away from us any time, and with this, I feel less pain in losing things that I own. I remember writing something like that 2 years ago in Feb when my cousin died in a bike accident, and now I'm feeling the exact same feeling (see the trend). We should value giving over taking. Life is unpredictable and weakkk, I've grown really sick of all the hypocrisy and human-politics in my everyday life I can't wait for all that to end. What's the point, really?

CNY in 2-3 weeks time. I'm looking forward to it! ^.^
