"I won the parent lottery"
- Oh! Randy, me too! I am born to be a winner of significant but insignificant matches. i have a huge edge of advantage over so many people. and only until you've put the parent lottery idea in my mind that i have recognised it as a lottery. ha, so have i already lost some of the money? have i not claimed it? right!!!!! i should have utilize the big sum of gift and do some good for myself and others. and you are the staff at Jockey Club.

"How long before i die?" "You probably have three to six months of good health"
- This is not the cliche telling people to live as if they do not have much more to live, but the way the tact you ought to adopt when facing downsides. asking of when i am dying, you tell me how long i am gonna live. this is tiny but mastery. Randy also told me about the same way Disney tells its visitors..."we are open til ___". right, there is the idea of happy opposition and contrast

"My sister, Tammy, had to put up with the ultimate know-it-all brother. I was always telling her what to do, as if our birth order was a mistake that I was incessantly trying to correct"
- i have been wondering if my sis's gonna beat me when she read this. haha. wait before you thump over to my room. well, this line is a trigger, not an ultimate answer i have to humbly admit. you are definite the big sister la~it's the masculinity in me that makes me seems bigger in limited aspect...and most importantly, i want to remain the smaller sis. LOL

"Randy, it's such a shame that people perceive you as being so arrogant, because it's going to limit what you're going to be able to accomplish in life" = "Randy, you're being a jerk"
- so it is valid to say arrogance reduces people. stop fantacising that people would forgive your arrogance even if you are talented or intelligent or smart or whatever good qualities smaller than modesty. arrogance alone make you miserable.

"Not everything needs to be fixed"

-this was not true to me, but it's becoming truer now. just...you never know if fixing do something even more harm or not. from my and men's point of view, a problem not mentioned can mean this is not a problem (yet?). aiya...this is really a fuss. i still cannot make it. while in some other cases, it is only when you acknowledge and face the problem that the problem has the chance to be solved. so...you see...there's always grey area and you dont know which is the right way, both are sensible and both holds, so quarrel never ends if the two party insisted. maybe, ignoring is the best resolution. haha

"It's never to early to delegate"
time REALLY flies

"When you're frustrated with people, when they've made you angry, it's just may be because you haven't given them enough time"
-remembering how my impression of one my my friends has changed over time, this certainly stands. i believe that everyone including psychos and freaks has good sides, even if minimal in your eyes, they can be magnificient in some others' eyes. so, here lies only the problem of perspective and chance, not the issue of presence or absence. be positive, man

"When it comes to men who are romantically interested in you, it's relly simple. Just ignored everything they say and only pay attention to what they do"
- this has some true i think, the problem lies or if you really see truly what they do XD

"The reason cliche are repeated so often is because they're so often right on the money"
this i have commented

"Sometimes, all you have to do is ask, and it can lead to all your dreams coming true"
-i have not actually realized the power of asking...so maybe i have missed out a lot of opportunities already...T_T...you know people might shout at you at times when they think you ask insensible and stupid and impossible questions...so...but i know deep in heart that it's they who are being so restrained by habits and traditions and they are losing themselves


59.
"I want you to become what you want to become"
- i want everyone to people whoever i want them to become. but i know this is impossible and if possible they could be terribly depressed. and depression infects, so, whatever you pick. but at least you have to pick something

"If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you"
-given my luck, i know this is real.



[i can see that i am getting tired]

one quote from peter:
"it's only the first 5 minutes you have the pleasure, the time then you regret"
god, this is sooooooo true, but 5 minutes before you just cannot control
this is simply human instinct, my born 5-min loved, then hated nature.
