finally i'm back updating my blog.
cny has been good so far.
we played, we rested.
we ate, we sang.
we danced, we talked.
i went to malaysia with part of my family and for the very very FIRST time at 2008, i played with real fireworks! (:
mind you, it is real like those you see at NDP... ok, maybe less glam, but definately exciting and fun.
i'll upload the pictures to show you how they do it later.
my brother is my model. haha. since i am taking the pictures, he has to do it for me to take. not willingly, cause i kinda just did it and he didnt protest either. so it would work out fine. im sure.
you have to put it in this glass bottle (empty beer bottle works well) and put the thing there and light the fuse and run. if not, you're hand could be burnt if you are not fast enough. then you see the thing just shoot in the air and burst open and ta da. FIREWORKS! the next thing you look out for is if the thing flies down and it doesnt hit your head. thats the scary part.
but as i was looking at the fireworks, i thought of many many thing.
then again, i always think of many things at one time. i dont know why.
but like i was saying, isnt it interesting to see how the thing flies up and burst into such beautiful and the next thing you know, its like gone.
so many times i have seen people come and go like that.
you see, its very simple actually.
just got to keep on going.
you dont need to look at the back or to the side and compete.
its good sometimes, but it cant kill you. it should motivate you.
if it fails to motivate you, then i rather you ignore it.
at least, you can still go on...
dont be a flash in the pan.
it ain't nothing to be proud of.
gotta have substance.
fireworks are good, they are fun.
but they arent gonna last.
they keep you busy for 5 secs, show its beautiful for 10 secs
and then its gone.
who remembers how was the pattern, how did the thing form.
you cant, i cant.
what you can remember is that it once had its beauty.
i dont care about being a beauty queen.
it doesnt interest me.
what i care and wanna know is how can i change the world.
no 'world peace' speech is going to get anywhere if you dont do anything.
it cant bring the message across. its just a statement.
you got to step out. do something. action talks.
i like action packed movies. they let their actions talk more than the characters talk.
