I Envy..

I envy people with/who:

1. Extended families which are closely knitted. Uncles, aunts and cousins who constantly meet one another. Cousins whom they can talk to like friends they have known for yrs, and not like some acquaintances who meet only twice per yr due to some celebration. Uncles & aunts who are geniuinely concerned about them.

2. A close figure whom they know and respect.

3. People who they can trust whole-heartedly. This is probably 2 ways, having the people to trust is 1 thing. Being able to trust is another. I'm talking about both.

4. Knows what exactly they want in life.

5. A spouse who will go through thick & thin with them and eventually, to grow old with. Like those old men & ladies on the bus who probably are grateful and comfortable with each other's company, even if there were nothing at all to talk about.

6. Have faith and believe in a certain ideas, so strongly that nothing could shake their pillar on confidence in that particular belief.

7. Have the drive to see things through to the end. In line with point 6.

8. People who are lucky enough to not to have much problem in life. Not that i have a lot but isn't it always good to have less problems?

9. Of course, people with great body, good looks, good character and who are smart.

10. People with Bang & Olufsen items at home.

Obviously, there are some crap in the list and there are more to add.

Anyway, last night, Weili asked about a psychological qn on "Why did the gal kill her own sister?" Sth like the gal met this guy during a relative's funeral and this guy is a family fren. however, after tt the gal didn't get to see the guy again. then she killed her sister.. why? Obviously, I got the answer - to see the guy again. Hmm.. Do I have the tendency to become a murderer??

A crap my sis cooked up while watching a TV show - Basically, there was this guy who was saying tt he liked being single cuz of the freedom etc. My sister said sth like, "U think this kind of people will tell you tt they actually hug their teddy bear/pillow in the middle of the night, feeling lonely or crying meh??" I think the context is a bit lame but hmmmmmm..

Also read "Get Fuzzy" in today's Strait Times Life section. It was about Bucky telling his owner to sponsorhim to research on a robot to look for dead rats. However, the owner refused. bucky's reply to that was, "You are like the first person Thomas Edison tried to sell a light bulb to... 'No thanks Tom, we just bought a whole new bunch of candles.' " Somehow, I couldn't stop laughing when i read about it.

quotes

"You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true." - Dr. Meredith Grey from Grey's Anatomy

'How happy is the little Stone
That rambles in the Road alone,
And doesn't care about Careers
And Exigencies never fears-

And independent as the Sun
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute Decree
In casual simplicity-' - How happy is the little Stone by Emily Dickinson

which we must seek our way,
lost and confused, now and again
checked in a blind alley.

would ever have thought of,
but one that will ultimately
prove good for us.' - A.J.Cronin
