My fave days of the week are here.
The WEEKEND!
And yesterday, Chin and I did something out of impulse.
We caught a movie, finally! And a MIDNIGHT movie at that.
My virgin midnight movie. *proud of myself*
Both of us went in smelling of BBQ after the BizCom BBQ earlier that night.
Our choice: Jackie Chan's New Police Story.
Well, both of us didn't fall asleep despite being very tired so that kinda speaks volume of the show's quality.
Not too bad actually, lots of action(typical) and humour.
Nicholas Tse was surprisingly funny and Chin was roaring in laughter.
Was doing some serious thinking in the shower just now.
I really admire people who are not affected by the pressures of society and those who dare to be different.
Which is why I loved this poem.
THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
And after reading Kar's blog, she got me thinking about the Fate issue.
For me, I do believe in fate.
Fate plays a vital role in the people you meet.
Think about it, there are trillions of people in the world, you don't just establish friendships with just anyone. You require the opportunity to meet them, in the right place at the right time.
And it's not just about the meeting, you need the affinity with each other to build a relationship.
Take me for example, I have friends in the same class with me for 6 consecutive years in Primary School, but that doesn't mean that I will be friends with them.
And when I say friends, I mean close friends and not just mere acquaintances.
Most of my 208 buddies are in the same class as me for 2 years and some even just one year.
So you don't have to take into account how long you know the person, if you have affinity with each other, both of you will just naturally click.
My parents always say that friends are not everlasting. When you find your partner and get settled down, you will naturally distance yourself from your friends.
But I don't believe in that.
Just as a tree is being grown firmly rooted in the ground, it will remain as long as you choose not to uproot it.
So if you make a conscious effort to keep in contact, no matter what, the friendship will still remain.
And having said that, I hope it would be FOREVER FRIENDS with many of my buddies.
