Life In Rose

Once in a while, I'll regret about certain outcomes in life. I thought I did train up my thinking a bit to resist, thinking backwards. Nevertheless, happenings that one never anticipated, news that one didnt expect, still penetrates the folds of defence one built up over years of experience.

Today, I finally stepped out of my house. Weijing came over in the morning and (while busy telling me what CDs she has to burn using my com, haha) she eventually talked me into going out. After going out, I admit that it was fun. Esp with the other girls tw, kry, fm, seok. I felt, again, that the happiest life is the simplest life. Perhaps the happiest man on earth is really a fool. But what is a fool? Who is a fool? Is he really a fool, or are you the fool? Maybe they know less than us. Maybe they know more than us. 做人真是难得糊涂。I thought the word depression rather irks me. I rather think of it as deep thinking. But you know, like all other things, thinking can also go out of hand.

La Vie en Rose.
I enjoy this song. Edith Piaf.. I love records.
I actually heard it outside a CD shop today. Was by Tony Bennet and K.D. Lang. I thought, I just stopped thinking. It was so nice, just to do that. Just listening to a beautiful song wash over you.
I went to the shop to enquire. I didnt buy the CD. It was part of a compilation.
But I went back twice more after leaving the shop.
The shopkeeper replayed it for me when he saw me. Yes... I love it. Esp listening to it after a bath, at 11.59am.
