Something I learnt today.

Grumble less. Your optimism may really bring up the morale of people around you. Then, you are saving lives.
And what Eric said definitely made a lot of sense. Don't promise what you can't do, promise that you will do whatever you can.

Edits:
There is no right or wrong unless of course, you set the parameters and yes, of course there are times you need to do the definitions. I just feel that at the end of the day, maybe nothing is worth being blamed at all because we all set different boundaries for different contexts. Not seeing eye to eye on certain issues probably just implies a failure in making expectations meet. Maybe we shouldn't pass any general verdict because there is so much more as far as morals are concerned. Maybe, we should always add 'I think/believe/feel' in front of a general statement, lest it becomes an overgeneralization or an unintentional attempt to alter mindsets, even principles. It's hard not to sway people with your words, especially those who really believe in you. Don't use this to your advantage to influence their judgements. Everyone has a right to opinions.

On CNY

This CNY, I realised many things. I realised I have always envied families who go out as a whole for CNY visiting, or those who invite many relatives and friends over. I realised I am very afraid of the coming of CNY because CNY simply means watching movies and slacking at home for me. I love to watch movies, there is no doubt about that. Perhaps I just don't appreciate the latter because there is so much to face head-on. I hate the silence or otherwise awful hurlings at the dining table. I hate how I need to pretend to be hospitable to people I dislike. This year, I hid in my room when people I did not feel comfortable with came, then I was accused of being stubborn and impolite. Sometimes I really wonder if being myself is of imperative or being polite is. Whichever the case, I want to confess that I really feel tired and unhappy this CNY. The worst is that I feel that no one can understand because everyone I tried to rant this to tells me I should go home because it is CNY after...

On campus,

I think even if I were to leave after this semester, I would probably leave with the fondest memories. What more can I ask for? On a side note, I hope and I choose to believe that my true friends will understand, and so I do not want to explain. Today is my best friend's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BF! I know you know I am damn stubborn and rebellious and whiny and spoiled and noisy and choosy but you always compromise with me and give in to me in every way you can. Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! I hope you will always be happy because you deserve to be. I hope you will gamble less so that you can treat me food more often. I hope you will be blessed because you are special :) I know I am such a sweet best friend! 加油了GL,不要再蹉跎歲月了…
