Singing Joy

Fenny: Hey! I’ve got new some new mp3 here.
Jack: What songs do you have?
Fenny: Okie, hee… not very new songs actually, I’ve just finished downloaded them just now.
Jack: Turn it on then. Let me hear if I know them.
Fenny: Alright…
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Fenny: Haha! Fantastic!!! You know how to sing every song hur!!
Jack: Ha! Singing is in my blood!
Fenny: Hahaha, nonsense. But it’s really rare to see a person that know and sing a lot of songs, especially a man.
Jack: Hey, I have a lot of frens, men, who like to sing a lot. Some of them are a lot better than me.
Fenny: Ha… I’ve even heard one of my frens said that without music, she’ll die.
Jack: Now that’s too much.
Fenny: Ya, haha… but I think what she mean was she couldn’t bear a very quiet environment.
Jack: I guess she mean she doesn’t like to be alone.
Fenny: … … who will like it?
Jack: Is she pretty?
Fenny: Haha, none of your business.

Pain to Happiness

January 1994

Jack: At least you let me in. John was kind of pissed cos’ you insisted not to let him in yesterday.
Joe: … … I wasn’t ready yesterday.
Jack: Wasn’t ready?
Joe: … …
Jack: Sigh~~~ Forget it. How’s everything today? Going to school tomorrow?
Joe: … …
Jack: Everyone wanna see you. They want to know how you’re doing now.
Joe: School… … Sigh~~~ I don’t like it when they start to ask how have I been, where have I been.
Jack: Ha! That’s becos’ they care about you man, you should be happy for that.
Joe: … … But not she… …
Jack: … … I don’t know man, but she must be a very great person cos’ you’re still remembering her by this hour.
Joe: … … She’s the only best thing ever happen to me.
Jack: But not anymore…
Joe: … …
Jack: You have to stop lying on your bed all the time or staring at the sky for no reason.
Joe: I know! But I’m seriously in pain now! It’s very painful… …
Jack: Tell me, out of 10 times going out with her, how many time do you think that you were able to make her really happy? I mean “really” happy.
Joe: … … I don’t know… 5 times? ...
Jack: Great, now you finally know that you’re not good enough for her. At least that’s the reason why you’re in pain now. Next time, when you’re dating another girl, try to make 9 or 10.
Joe: … …
Jack: Come to school, you have a lotta frens waiting to ease your pain. At least that I can promise of. And I’m sure you’ll find your happiness sooner or later, cos’ the trick is that you have to be happy first.
Joe: … … Sigh~~~ why must pain’s the only way to happiness?
Jack: … …

Jack didn’t answer that question. 2 days later, Joe was seen in the school again. But Jack was still thinking in his heart, “why must pain’s the only way to happiness?”

(Joe is now having a relationship with the same girl again, after a year of separation. Perhaps he has already found out the meaning of the question he asked that day.)

Almost Give Up

This happened on late last year.

~~~3:00pm~~~
Jack: Arrgghh!!! I guess this happen becos’ it has been quite some time already. That’s why it’s hard to find it on this period.
Ted: Shit man! I didn’t know that we would face this problem.
Jack: I guess we gotta buy a paper then.

Ted: There, let’s check it out now.
Jack: Damn, this paper doesn’t have any info on it.
Ted: What~~~ Are you serious, check it again.
Ted: This is really driving me nuts.
Jack: Go buy another one, here’s the money.

Ted: Okay! This is a bigger one, sure has what we want in there.
Jack: Do you know the Chinese title of it? Cos’ this is a Chinese paper.
Ted: … … let me check.
Ted: This is really killing me!
Jack: I’ll go buy another one and I’ll make sure it’s English paper.

Jack: There I know where it is already!!! Do you know how can we get there?
Ted: … … I’m not familiar with this country… But I don’t think it’s here.
Jack: Ha!!! Do you have an opinion?
Ted: … …
Jack: I’ll go ask that lady there.

Ted: Sigh~~~ What the heck. Let’s just do it.

~~~11:30pm~~~
Ted: At last, we finished what we suppose to do today. I almost wanted to give up. Cos’ I’m damn tired walking in the street just now, then, technical problem. It’s really dramatic man!
Jack: … … I don’t know, just now, all in my mind was I must get this done. If I give up, I’m afraid it would become a habit to me. And I prefer not to have it on me.
Ted: Ha… We’ve gotta be fast to get transport back. It’s already late at night, we might have to spend more money by getting a taxi.
Jack: … … I hope not.
Ted: Let’s just hope not then, haha.
Jack: Ha!
Ted: By the way, how was the movie?
Jack: Quentin Tarantino has always been my favourite!

That night, they managed to get back home by the cheapest public transport available: MRT + Bus.

Would You Like To Be In Control of Your Life?

A conversation between two men, happened early this year.

Steve: "I don't know, felt helpless. Don't really want to work there anymore."
Jack: "Why not?"
Steve: "Just don't feel good anymore. In fact, I've never felt good working there."
Jack: "Whatcha gonna do about that then?"
Steve: "Sigh~~~ I wish I know..."
Jack: "Don't you have a plan?"
Steve: "Felt helpless and hopeless. I'm feeling like I'm in a ship now, without a planned destination. I guess it's all depends on the wind to bring me where I should be."
Jack: "Hmm... ... depends to the fate?"
Steve: "Ya, that's the word, fate."
~~~~~~
Jack: "Have you watched the movie 'The Matrix' before? I'm pretty sure you did, didn't you?"
Steve: "Ya, of course I did."
Jack: "Great, there's one word which Neo told Morpheus, which is quite interesting."
Steve: "Hmm? What's that?"
Jack: "Morpheus asked Neo, if Neo believe in fate..."
Jack: "Neo said No."
Jack: "Morpheus asked 'Why?'"
Jack: "Neo said 'Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life.'"
Steve: "... ... ... ..."
Jack: "So, would you like control of your life?"
Steve: "... ... ... ..."

Jack can't really remember Steve's answer, but he thinks Steve replied 'Yes'... ...

Today, Steve's still working in the same company. But both them are still frens.

Macross Fever

Just finished downloaded all episode of Macross 7. Sad thing is that, only realize its existence after 9 years since its release. Sigh~~~

Whatever, yo! FIRE!!!!

I've even downloaded and watched the Macross Movie: Do You Remember Love? I guess that's the reason why I like Macross, not becos of the robot, but the love story, it's all about relationship. Do You Remember Love is more to a love story in my view. The song "Do You Remember Love", I can't believe that I have already has it all this while in my harddisk! Incredible. Seems like the God has already pointed me to find the Macross. Unbelievable, though, it's misearable, cos' I don't like to feel that I can't really control my own life.
