Was typing this long post bout wish list this morning. Error occurred while I press the 'publish post' button and the whole post disappeared. Erm. Too bad then. Things beyond our expectations happen. No matter how disappointed we are, or how reluctant we are to accept a fact, we still have to adapt and live with it.

Haha. Looks like I'm over reacting. :) But still, I believe most bad things which had happened so far are in fact blessings in disguise. No matter how bad a situation is, we can always benefit from it somehow. Like what my lecturer Prof Shen had said, a person is stupid, not because he makes mistakes. He is stupid, only if he makes the same mistake more than once. So the key is, we should all learn from our mistakes. By rectifying them, we benefit.

In studies, in work, we can do corrections. However, in friendships and relationships, if we had devoted trust and love to someone unworthy, the pain when we realized our mistakes might be unbearable. The question is, should we withdraw our input completely, or should we wait, and hope that one day, a miracle will happen, and the trust and love turn mutual.

Under all circumstances, I will withdraw the input. That's a logical choice, isn't it? What's the probability for such a miracle to occur anyway? If the probability is high, it won't be called a miracle. How much to withdraw? Depends on situation.

At the same time, think of the people who stood by us in times of trouble. Are we depriving them of a higher input of love and trust? Why don't we give up devoting more time and energy unnecessarily on people who are taking them for granted, instead, devote them to people who truly care for us?

In friendships and relationships, sometimes, it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong. We can fault the other party for not inputing enough. On the other hand, it could be our fault for inputing too much. It all depends on where one draws the line between noble and stupid.

Recently, I was pretty depressed over some thing. I guess a good thing bout the damn cough is that, it forces me to spend time on myself, to reflect upon myself. Now that I have thought through everything carefully, I believe I'll recover from my illness soon. Haha. I think there's a link somewhere. I probably fell sick because I was too drained up mentally.

Week 0 starts tomorrow. Gotta get ready for a fierce battle ahead. I hope my fuel can last for one more hectic year. :)

Going off to revise my jap and listen to my new SHE album. :)
