Rants.

As I sit lazily on the couch, romancing with my MacBook, waiting for my ride to pick me up to tuition while reading through my last journal, I recollect the emotions that streamed through my every nerve during last Wednesday’s basketball training. Which leads to another thought – how do people go through adversity?

Okay, this is not going anywhere. I would like to share thoughts on that but I’m drained from words. I’m not on the couch now; I’ve already gone to chemistry tuition, which was a bore. I’m watching some television programme at this very moment. Well, actually my mum is the one watching television and the television is the one watching me. Nevertheless, I do know the gist of the programme. It’s about Dubai, the international tourist cum financial hub. Looks nice, but I’m not interested.

Oh, I watched a movie last night. Again. Movie’s called Adrift, starring people I don’t know. It’s about 6 high school friends uniting once again on a yacht belonging to one of them, or so it seems. Well, it hardly matters. (PS. Everything in Dubai is tax-free. I just found out.) Anyway, they were all enjoying themselves. Until of course (nothing lasts forever do they?), they realise that all of them were in the cool yet uncharted waters and the ladder wasn’t brought down. Acknowledging the fact that returning back on board would pose a problem, they start panicking and one thing leads to another, you should know what’s it like, survivor’s instinct.

Come to think about it, it really is astounding. No matter how selfless and compassionate a person gets, the one person anyone could ever really love unconditionally and boundlessly is ourselves, isn’t it? Think about it. Who else do we love other than ourselves? Who else do I love more than myself? Who am I willing to make life changing sacrifices for other than myself? Probably my mum. *SMiLES*

Anyway, feeling unsatisfied and discontented with this (was) short piece of work and reading through it once more, my itchy fingers decided to insert the “nothing lasts forever” part in the third paragraph and speaking of which, nothing do last forever, do they? Everything is temporary; everything will pass.

Life is such. In fact, life is like a rollercoaster, as cliché as it sounds. It goes up, it goes down. It also goes inside out if you tried the more sophisticated ones, not like those in Hong Kong Disneyland. Pure disappointment I tell you.

Well, everyone goes through life uncertain, indecisive and hesitant of their definition of life. Their meaning of life, simply vague. But that hardly matters because as long as we try our best to achieve the best in life, we will have no regrets, just like any ball game right?

So, we hang on tight to this rollercoaster of life, screaming our lungs out hoping that some one would come and save us during our times of distress. The excitements never seem to last very long do they? Fear constantly makes the amusement seem so far away.

As a result, I guess all we can do is to hope for the best because to shout out, asking the attendant to stop the ride is a crime; and it’s selfish too.

Bah! I think I should end my ranting for the day. I’ve got lots of other assignments. Sigh…

Well, this too will pass. Good day!
