Helped Jennie move yesterday. Looking at a picture of her and Jason, for a moment, I thought I saw myself in that picture in the place of Jason. I talked to Jason. I asked him to be patient with Jennie, to ride out each storm with her by her side... no matter how bad the situation gets... never leave her by herself during the lows of her emotional rollercoaster. I told him, believe it or not, she needs him most when she is most angry and unreasonable. Leaving her to deal with her own emotion will only make her more scared and insecure. The cycle goes on. I wasn't able to do the right things when I was with her. I hope Jason will learn to do so and to provide what I couldn't have provided for her. I really want them to work out. I care about Jennie and I want the best for her and her baby.

Is the happiness the only thing we strive for and care about in a relationship? I watched a TV program by RTHK last night (yes, I am finally subscribing to the chinese channels on direct TV). In it, several young people (who are college students) were interviewed for their views on relationships. One thing they mentioned which struck deep in my mind was that they think there is no guarantee in a relationship and that happiness "at this moment" is the most important thing in a relationship. But that is it? Happiness? Most important? I dunno. I refuse to believe that is the case. There is got to be more than that.
On a grander scale, is happiness what life is all about? Our life is simply a quest for or a pursuit of happiness. I dunno. I refuse to believe that is the case. There is got to be more than that.

My parents will arrive tomorrow. They will stay with me till X'mas. Most people were bewildered when I told them that my parents will be staying for so long. I joked that at least I would be well-fed.

Thoughts, random thoughts mostly. I guess it's a good idea that I write them down. Just in case...

Cool! You will get good food finally :)
haha.. do you mean I can't cook good food?
Oops. Gotta be careful with what I said - I should say: You will get good food without any effort finally :P
Wow, isn't it nice to have your parents around. I remember the time when I used to come home and dinner was all ready, and we used to go camping and stuffs on weekends.
Dunno if life is all about chasing for happiness but having happiness around does make life much nicer, and perhaps wonderful ideas come up only when one's happy. I think to find happiness in the moment and enjoy it is a good thing. To linger on happiness from the pass or to hope for happiness in the future sometimes make the present a bit difficult to endure. It's like grass is always greener on the other side. The funny thing is, when I'm enjoying the moment and treasuring it, the future usually turns out nicely too. To me, happiness is like little bunnies. They spread out and multiply and infect everybody with love and more happiness.
