We played from 10 to 1. 3 hours.<\/p>\n<p>In these 3 hours, I tried out many things. I tried different kinds of moods. First, I tried to think only pool, and with that, lots of balls went in. Next, I tried negative thoughts, sad outcomes, looping through them continuously. In the end, I missed most of the shots, and was unable to concentrate. Lastly, I tried positive thoughts, thinking about happy outcomes, and the end result was slightly better. All thoughts are not related to pool, by the way&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, it&#039;s always better to think positive,&nbsp;if it is impossible to&nbsp;think nothing.<\/p>\n<p>And so, sad things affect people more than any other moods. That&#039;s why it&#039;s easier to write sad songs. That&#039;s also why sad songs are somehow more popular, because people identify themselves with the words. They feel that the songs are&nbsp;for them.<\/p>\n<p>That&#039;s why I tend to write more of such lyrics also&#8230; My thoughts are in that direction. There&#039;s not much happiness for me to write about. <\/p>\n<p>I need happiness too. But then, I must learn to accept what&#039;s given to me. I must learn to give and accept hurt&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Tonight did not have much people around at RC. I reached there and stoned a while, waiting for Zhenyao to appear. Wished happy new year to the auntie working there&#8230; haha.. no angpow of course&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Ate submarine and drank coffee. Tonight&#039;s submarine was a bit off, but it&#039;s still edible. I think it was because we left them in the open for too long. Even the coffee had turned cold. I drank all in one gulp. <\/p>\n<p>Now? Very tired&#8230; Stupid internet disconnect me while I was blah-blahing on MSN halfway.
