2 faces to a coin.

Life is not always a bed of roses. Sounds cliche? But it's so so so true. Life has its ups and downs. The difference for different people is that some have more ups than others while the rest have more downs. Maybe life really is unfair. But sometimes I think it is how you look at it. For me, I think learning to be contented with what you have is the best way to gain happiness.

The reason I'm saying all this is that so many things have happened recently (both happy and unhappy):

-On my bday, I had a great time. LT gave me a sweet small cake at 00.00hr (YUMZ!), jrm gave me a bottle of mineral water at ard 01.00hr as a replacement for the eclair tat he wanted to get as a cake but failed to get, went out with LT to science centre in e morning till late, received loads of bday wishes from friends around me either by sms or email or facebook. Felt really touched that these ppl remembered! =) Thank u my dear frens! Thank u my dear LT!

-The nxt day I received news from frens that a fren's brother had passed away yesterday. I didn't know how to react to this piece of news. Cos this fren actually did sms a bday wish to me despite wat happened in his family. I can only send my condolences and hope that this fren is ok. (As u can see, I am really bad with words, esp at consoling others.)

-Very soon it was my grad trip to Welcome to Taiwan! A super fun-filled trip that was disasterous and exciting at e same time. I believe i will remember it for life! =) Will be blogging about it in detail in e following entry w loads of photos! Am rather sad that adez couldn't join us thou... =S Nvm, there's always next time! =)

-Just got home from dinner w LT and his family. Freaking unlucky or wat, LT lost his wallet. No idea how or where it disappeared to, but it just did. "Sway" with a capital 'S'. Cancelled all his cards, made a police report. Hope some kind soul with a heart of gold finds it and returns it to the police station and some nice police officer will call him soon to pick up his wallet with everything still intact and nothing lost. (Crosses my fingers for luck!) What a sian nite~

Yupz... so you see, these really make me wonder and think through about what I have and what's around me. Sometimes you get super sway, sometimes you get lucky. But most of the time, people remember the sway parts better. So they tend to think that they are sway people. Some of the rarer species of humans may appear to be happy-go-lucky, but deep inside, they may have had many bad experiences before but just chose to look at things in a different perspective, take things in their stride.

So like what adez love to say: "Life is short, but it is also long."
What's your perspective? =) I hope i will be able to zhi zu chang le!
