this is 2008

Life is like having on your hands on many separate blackjack games simultaneously.

We withdraw from some tables and get involved with new ones. Like how we went from full-time student to full-time employee. The last set of card dealt from the game of school resulted in a paper certificate and a commencement ceremony of a whole new card game called career. Ambition is like the first set of unopened cards, where things are still fluid and uncertain - place for hope. For those like me who don’t know what to expect, we only hope to win. With the chances of a sure win scarce, we can only try to fight for the optimal. Still, we win some we lose some.

And in the table of family and friendships, we gave some a hard time and vice versa. Yet they sat alongside as we all battle against this necessary game of life. But some withdrew from our game so unexpectedly and didn’t give us a chance to recoup our losses.

I guess this is how I can best sum it up. Life - something you can never reconcile your winnings or losses, measure your happiness and unhappiness. I won this much, I lost this much. I am this happy and this sad.

Happiness is infectious

Using statistical analysis the researchers measured how social networks were correlated with reported happiness. They found that live-in partners who become happy increase the likelihood of their partner being happy by 8%, similar effects were seen for siblings who live close by (14%) and neighbours (34%). Work colleagues did not affect happiness levels suggesting that social context may curtail the spread of emotional states.

Interestingly, it is not only immediate social ties that have an impact on happiness levels, the relationship between people's happiness can extend up to three degrees of separation (to the friend of one's friends' friend). Indeed, people who are surrounded by happy people are likely to become happy in the future.

懒

黄靖伦 - 懒
作词：管启源
作曲：伍家辉
专辑：伦语录

我们都有不可告人的寂寞
我们都假装着健康的生活
早睡早起 不要想得太多
日子就这样过
我们都有一些感情没有结果
我们的故事对朋友说了又说
说太多
懒得去想 懒得去管
懒得快乐 懒得悲伤 懒得堕落
把所有问题抛在角落
不清不楚不过问 甚麽收获
懒得去爱 懒得去恨
懒得回忆 懒得遗憾 懒得迷惑
继续 假装努力 的生活
离开你以後的我 日子一天一天过
还没有习惯寂寞 每晚下班了以後
一个人到处乱走 开车在城里兜风
碰到思念的路口 转左还是右
离开你以後的我 应该比从前自由
不再属於谁的我 重复生活的动作
早午晚餐与工作 分不清周日周末
常常还会想起你 有没有想我
