the only thing permanent in life.. is impermanence.

We tend to relate to this truth only in the negative aspect.. we forget the other side of the coin. The rain will come after the sunshine, but sunshine also comes after the rain.. Impermanence means the "constant change" of all phenomena. Everything arises and passes away. When you see this, you're away from sorrow. bcos when you're in suffering, know that "this too, shall pass." take it easy and be realistically hopeful for a change for the better. When in Joy, know that "this too, shall pass". Treasure it, but don't be too attached.

Then, and only then, you'll learn to that change aint something to be feared, but instead, a hope given to us from heaven..

A word conjures up 10,000 different thoughts..
in 10,000 different minds.
What do my words conjure in yours?

Is your thought but one in a million?
How is it different?
What makes you so sure that's wad i really meant?

The world thrives largely on illusions
conjured by deluions.
be ever clear.

Even the words of the enlightened
can become deadly paths for those too deluded.
Cling not to words.
Cling not to your perception of them..
Words are afterall just words..

Whatever it is,
however much,
hope you understand what this means..
Well words can only help this much.

im not sure what i wanted to say either. just that it's 2.34 am now, and i've been having one of those really wierd days.. days where you start thinking and remembering. must have been the rain.

it's funny. i can still remember everything that happened clearly.. sometimes too clearly. i can remember the events. i can remember the words. i can remember how i felt. but till now i still don't understand why. but then again, maybe there isnt a why. maybe it's jus the way things is.

on a lighter note, went to imm tday and i witnessed an ice-skating competition! oh boy it was so.. eggciting. it makes me wanna get onto the ice too! but oh well. i'll start hugging the bar again. sigh.

oh yes and i went to the bank and wanted to make my atm card, and they were like, oh no you're not sixteen. i was like.. =D but i have an ic! and im almost sixteen anyway. it doesnt matter righttttt? the receptionist: "YES it matters. it's only three months till sept or you can get your mum to come. NEXT!!" me...: *hurt*... I'LL BE BACK!!! receptionist: *stuns*

it's just a few months! i went all the way dere & queued for nothing. ugh. what's the big deal? i mean, it's not like whether i breathed for 15 and 3/4 years or 16 years matters to my atm card right.. or watching a show, or wadever.. whyyy isnt my bday on 1st jan! =(

life's hard. at least it is on rainy days.
