Last night we went back to the same bar at Korean Town where I last got drunk. There is something so alluring about it's ambiance that makes it all the more difficult not to succumb to this poison. 3 soju, 10 bud, saba-san, spicy squid and a whole lot of appetizers were all that was needed to have a good time. Of course, it also depends on the people too. I really did have fun yesterday. Why is it so easy to talk the night away over alcohol? Some may say that you're not yourself when you drink. Perhaps. But my experience with alcohol has never been a negative one. Maybe because we feel so vulnerable when people know who we really are, so we hide behind our smiles and the usual how you doing talks. But when we drink, our conversations becomes so open and true. Even though it only lasted for a few hours, but I wouldn't trade the world for memories like these. I don't know why I always come back to her, but seems like she never fails in seducing me.

In the words of George Bernard Shaw,
"This is the true joy in life - that being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. That being a force of nature, instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the to the whole community and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die. For the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It's a sort of splendid torch which I've got to hold up for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations."

And once again, I'm back here doing something unproductive. 2 midterms and a project next week, and none of which I've ever even touched yet. To make it worst, I played mahjong with my family till 5am yesterday to celebrate chinese new years. 我祝大家新年快樂,萬事如意,身體健康!
There seems to be a bit of dejavu when chinese new year comes around. Happy new years but yet school is about to start, making it not so happy. Then happy new years again only to be greeted with midterms and motherloads of work. But on the bright side, I guess reading week is at least something we can all look forward to (cept for old people :-)). Speaking of old, I'm finding myself eating a lot more vegetables and a meal just doesn't seem complete anymore without seeing some greens. I hope spiderman didn't lie to those little kids. I'm also finding myself just sitting there and thinking about stuff a lot, so much that I think I'm turning pro at the age of 20.
Anyhow. If I were me, I'd go study.
