WHAT IS MAN?
Ermmm i also dun really noe for sure........cos i'm always thinking like a boy.........why? Cos i wan to be like Peter Pan who never needs to grow up lol..........frankly i dun really noe why ppl wan to grow up except for the fact that its inevitable.......pls dun tell me u actually enjoy worrying over ur exams' grades (we dun really think about these things when we're kiddy kids do we....?) or having to start thinking about getting a job, earning money while dealing with the stress at the same time, bearing all sorts of responsibilities as an adult...........
Ermmmmmmmm..............
No thanx.................
Ok for guys maybe we at least have sum gains like the chance to have sex (who says u can't have them while u're young in the very 1st place....? o.O ) but den u start to worry whether ur "sword" is long/big/thick enough or whether your "dueling" skills in the fluffy and soft arena is sharp/adept enough........... Are u sure u noe when to parry and when to lunge? When to slow the pace down and when to deliver the "critical" blow?
Enough of that...........i wud rather have a grown up body with the imagination of a kid living in his own world rather than face all that.............but maybe that's partly because i dun seem to have any other choice at all lol...
So...... What is man? Actually that's the title of a theatre play i just caught today (Tues....im writing at 1am in the morning.....) with xinhui at esplanade.......... It's my very 1st time watching a play at the esplanade so i was really looking forward to it, plus its a play from Taiwan and it's in chinese (though there was english subtitle also lar) with a few familiar faces (to me....i dun tink u guys will noe who they are if i mention their names....) Well....... I WASN'T DISAPPOINTED AT ALL!
Frankly speaking, the play was very good! It certainly exceeded my expectations. I tot it was gona be kinda dry or serious cos the chinese title is Shui Hu Zhuan 水滸傳 (that classic chinese novel thingy which i never had the appetite to consume) BUT it was in fact a drama/comedy combi! The 1st few scenes were all hilarious and everyone was just laughing at the actors' antics on stage. There were sum darker scenes behind too but it all fitted the whole play quite well (though i can never really understand the need for the last scene - the finale) Looking at them liddat, i wonder why the heck am i in engineering..........cos i enjoy arts so much its really part of my life..........haih i also dunno lar.......
刀不在大小，就看你怎么用。
我喜欢骑在浪上面，可是我怎么可能去爱上一个浪？
I like these 2 lines from the play a lot......... Probably because they can mean so many different things, depending on how and where u place them......... It's open to interpretation.........to such an extend that there's practically no limit to your imagination at all......... It reminds me of reading a book, just to dwell on some characters or some particular scenes long after i'm done finishing the book......... Or a movie, a show......... Well for a play tis is my 1st encounter with a very familiar sensation........ hahaha deja vu again.........
I dunno whether i'm on the wrong path or not........ or maybe i just refuse to believe that up till now i am still deeply unsure of the path i WANT to take..........cos if i dun even noe what path i wan, how am i suppose to noe whether the path i am already on is the right one or not? Or whether there actually exists a path that is the specific one i have been looking for all tis while...?
I tink about a lot of things.........but i do very little..........
I imagine about a lot of things............but i transform onli about 0.1% of them into reality........
One thing i noe for sure about myself.........i have things i like......things i really really enjoy doing.........not for the sake of doing them.........but for the sake of comparing them to myself.........and then i grow up........and maybe one day when i've compared enough.........and grown up enough........i will realise i have never been merely a boy in a man's body.......but i've been more than that..........
There was a boy
A very strange, enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy
And sad of eye
But very wise
Was he
And then one day
One magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing
You'll ever learn
Is just to love
And be loved
In return.....
Well, i guess i have a great deal more to learn before i learn the greatest lesson in life.......and with that in mind i'll continue to do things i like........and compare (not all comparing is bad u noe.....)
And thus grow........
Ermmm i also dun really noe for sure........cos i'm always thinking like a boy.........why?
