Just got back from China about a day or 2 ago. Visited Lijang, Dali then Kunming. It wasnt very fun but the sights were pretty breathtaking. Rising mountains with winding rivers, Clouds blanketing the hills or seemingly to scurry down the mountainside.
Another xmas spent somewhere other than where i want to be. Oh wells, will upload the pics soon as soon as i can get my ass off to get the comp fixed.

Out of Boredom
Today this so extremely boring and uneventful. Work was boring and dull, minus the fact that i was happy in the morning with my hopes of going home early today raised by the con my parents played on me by saying we will go home early today. We did actually.. by half n hour!
Will be leaving for the airport in bout 5-6 hrs for the flight to some remote area of China. As boring as i expect it to be, im still exhilarated by the views it will bring me. The terrain of remote china with it's winding rivers n mountainous peaks. I dont know what to expect since i dont even know where im heading but becoz im in the dark, the anticipation is strong. I just hope i dont get disappointed!!
The boredom is getting to me and im going crazier by the minute plus the fact that im being made to wait, not only now but the whole day today. The wait is getting on my nerves and i dont know why it is.
Sigh, another xmas not spent here. Hopefully this xmas will be a memorable one. Merry Xmas to all!!

Virtue
Patience is a virtue that not many possess. To be able to control your thoughts and remain patient while you couldnt wait much longer is a skill which i try hard to acquire.
Acquiring a certain skill requires much time and devotion to fully master it. Like a sportsman trains daily to achieve optimum performance, patience is smth which there is no training regime for one to follow. Thus, is it safe to say that patience is only had by the best man?
To be impetous in a situation is non necessarily fool-hardy but rushing into a certain situation without much preparation is akin to rushing into battle without any armour and equipment. Defeat is a certainty.
Nevertheless, once a decision is made, it is detrimental for one to follow up with actions to supplement that decision and to achieve the best results as circumstances permit.
A wise man will sit and wait to get a clearer picture, but delay might actually distraught his plans. A brave man who is also wise will chance upon that opportunity and act according to circumstance. Defeat is only a PROBABILITY but so is victory. As the saying goes, "The greater the risk, the greater the rewards."
Alas, i hv tried to be patient. I can be very patient if that virtue lies with me. But alas, i am devoid of it sometimes and i often act without thinking much. I do not lament my situation but i just want to say i did try to be patient alas, failed miserably in trying to suppressing it.

Against All Odds
Herodotus once said "It's better to have a stout heart always and face your share of evils, than to be always fearing what would happen."
I believe that even against the odds that one should keep on going. Things might seem to be overwhelming but things will work out if you want it to. Strategist plans and the general executes. Nevertheless, at times of war, deception and cunning are omnipresent and a wise general prepares for the unseen and thinks the unthinkable.
When he loses a battle, he loses not only men but also his pride. A man without pride is like a lion without teeth. He has to regain he pride he lost in the battlefield. His flanks are exposed and his reinforcements nowhere to be seen, what does one do when outnumbered 10 to 1 and defeat an almost certainty?
Your adversary does not care how low u hv succumbed or how distraught u are. He cares only for himself and with victory almost at hand he is beaming with arrogance. I swallow what little pride left and spat it out together with my heart. I could not bring myself to look at my adversary in the eye. The very sight disheartens me and i cannot let my morale dissipate. I need to and i will fight till my adversary retreats, i will fight even when my spear is blunted and my shield broken. Perhaps then i could win you over.

Move Forth!
Things that are meant to happen will happen no matter how much effort we pour into avoiding it. That is to say if you believe in things cosmic and celestial, we will call it destiny. However, altho i believe in those, i believe too that ones life lies in ones hand and how it's shaped is how you mould it.
You hv the power to bring forth changes to your life. A beggar will certainly always be begging for he has neither ambition or is he willing to put a stop to his current 'job' and alleviate his distress.
Consigned to faith. Im not saying it's bullshit or horseshit. But like i stated early, ever man wields the power to his life. Ever heard of the phrase, "Be controlled, or be in control." Who else should be driver driving the car of life but you?
When faced with hardship and despair, would you just say im in deep shit and do nthg bout it or would you say im fucked but you try your best to find your way out of the quagmire? Im in one now and im doing the latter.
I always believe that one cannot lose a war without going into battle and that if you fought with your heart you will win the war. As i told my friend, that if he were to go into war thinking that he'll lose, he has already lost half the war. Be strong my friend and with hope nthg is impossible. The highest mountain will be scaled and the deepest secret discovered. Will zeal and courage, Move Forth and never give up!
