searching, waiting and goodbyes
when you are looking for something and you cant find it, how long do you keep on looking before you give up? i always have this problem because whenever i feel like, okay i have searched everywhere maybe i should just stop and let it go. but there is always a nagging feeling.....
its like a voice saying search a little longer, or behind that corner and it will be there. and to think that i had stopped looking just moments or only a reachaway from where it was, i would have never found it.
so when should someone stop looking and give up?
same goes for waiting. should we wait for the old to come back and rekindle old feelings and memories? or finally giving up and accept the new? what if the old turns up?
in a completely unrelated topic, my beloved fish, died.....
the picture of my fish when it was younger....
at first my fish was completely fine, just a little restless and not wanting to eat whereas usually it would be so happy to see me holding the can of fish food....it would swim ever so energetically and follow me around when it sees me. it has been my companion during thise nights when i had to study for tests and exams. i went out for an outing with my friends and when i got home, the aquarium was empty. turns out that my dad cleaned the tank. he added a little water and salt (to kill bacteris wor). for science students, the result is probably expected. the concentration of salt was too high and it passed away soon after. nooooo.........cry.......
people always symphatise when you say you dog, cat, hamster or even chicken dies but they seem to dismiss fishes. why is that? is it because it cant make any sound? i feel sad all the same. bye.....i will miss you. RIP
though i will probably getting another fish tomorrow. not used to seeing the aquarium empty.
feel sad.....
8 below was a very touching movie. the eyes of the huskies says everything. i couldnt stop from tearing when some of the huskies died....and, please dont talk in the cinema!! sheesh....oops, anyway its a very nice disney movie suitable for kids and adults that have forgotten that happily ever after still happens.

i guess it's a human nature thing. always searching for something, never stopping... always wondering "what if?". it's the allure of the unknown, of the mysterious.. thinking that it'll always be more wonderful, more beautiful than what we already know and have.
about waiting.. feelings is such a complicated matter. old and new. they can't be compared or weighed on a scale. it's just not the way it works. it depends on what type of feelings they are. sometimes it's good to accept the new. but that doesn't mean you have to forget the old. have a little bit of this, and a little bit of that. balance, you know?
very profound post. made me think. it's just one of those things that i can't seem to find a certain answer for.
aiyoh, we were just talking about your fish the other day.. geez. so sorry ah.
i also don't understand why people seem to dismiss fish. is it because they're not warm-blooded? everytime i tell my dad i want to get a fish for a pet, he's like, "what for? get a dog better la". weird.
hmmm... mayb because the fish looks to daft to be really considered as a pet for most. But they are really good listeners.
