Time. It's a long long thing.

Even after four years, many experiences for us together are new ones. There's always a first time for everything... but what if you've done everything? What happens when you don't find joy in doing things because you've done it all? Romantics hoping to be surprised everyday by their lovers for the rest of their lives will be sorely disappointed. To me, love's the feeling you get, the feeling of safety and warmth, the surety you have that when you come home, someone's waiting for you with open arms. A little time spent appreciating each other, a lot of time spent laughing our lives away. What's life without the joy? ;)

A friend once asked, 'Are you still with her?'. I replied, 'Yes, yes of course.'
'Why? It's been a long time already.'

When you jump into love, you fall a long, long way. What's love to you?

Late nights with a glass of Koteh!

Ahh... Malaysian nights. Wonderfully spent happily chatting away with a cold drink in front of you. It's so nice to be able to spend time conversing with online friends the same way you would an old friend. I only know these guys through World of Warcraft, an online MMORPG. The only contact we have is through the words flashed onto our monitors. Still, we merrily converse on a wide array of topics, from the game world to the real world.

Every game will have its stories, its memories, and the drama involved in real life. Virtual games are still played by real people, so there are bound to be emo-queens and drama bitches in every world. Just like in real life, people meet each other and trade stories on their points of view on ttheir virtual life. It doesn't matter if we're separated by age, careers, race, or location. The memories we share and the experiences we go through together in the game bonds us as well as any real life crisis.

Malaysia, land of the carefree gluttons ;).

Perfection?

To really be happy, you have to accept that imperfection is a part of life. Strive all you want to achieve perfection, because it makes things better. Yet, you can't be happy unless you understand that in imperfection lies perfection itself.

If you keep trying for perfection, you'll only get disappointment and discontentment.

Once, a businessman was hurrying from work to get home. He saw a fisherman lying down on a beach, lazily waiting for the fish to come. The businessman glanced at his watch and, seeing he had some time, approached the fisherman.

'Hello there fisherman. Why are you just sitting there?' said the businessman.
'Why, I am enjoying my day, fishing,' the fisherman replied.
'Why don't you go and use your time to earn money to get a net?'
'What for?'
'So that you can catch more fish, earn more money, and get a fishing boat!'
'What for?' asked the fisherman, smiling.
'So that with the boat, you can catch even more fish, buy more boats, and get more money!'
The fisherman smiled even wider.
'What for?'
'So that you can get more boats, more people, and own your own fishing company!' said the frustrated businessman.
'What for?' asked the fisherman, giving his biggest smile yet.
'So that you can just laze around all day doing nothing!'
'Isn't that what I'm doing right now?'

Where do you stop achieving to be happy?
