Been feeling kind of down recently, perhaps thats what the youngsters called being emo nowadays. Well don;t know if its due to the recent news of all the disasters happening around the world that is also affecting my mood, especially now that I do have a few friends living in China, it does make the anxiety level kind of higher than normal. The reason why I am saying this is that, over a period of 2 days I had almost cried while watching TV.

Once was when the news were showing reports of the China disaster area, and the footage of their Premier encouraging the victims, it kind of sent me to a sad mode and I start to feel the tears forming in my eyes.

The next occurance was while in the midst of searching of a song, I chanced upon the clips of the latest China production of The Condor Heroes, as I had missed the last episode when it was showing here, so I just start watching the clips on You Tube so as to ‘complete’ the whole series. Well, as expected during one part of the show, I guess I must have been too engrossed that I also start tearing….  

The last one was when I was watching the re-run of the Korean drama, Da Chang Jin today. When the old lady that is like the Top Lady of the Royal Kitchen (Not sure if I get it right, but they sure have tons of titles for a whole lots of ladies) died, and you have Chang Jin and the other lady crying like mad, that also sent tears to my eyes. For a moment I was kind of stunt by what had happened. Weird feeling I must said.

Also had met up one of my friend last week and had a good chat, basically its more of me being a listening ear while she share her ’story’. So in the midst of her sharing, she requested the below song to be played over at the pub’s karaoke system. Though she didn;t sing, as we ended up listening to the song and the lyrics. I must said, its a very nice song with very meaningful lyrics. A totally sad song to listen ( you have been warned). Again, while searching for the song and listening to it over on my laptop yesterday, again tears formed in my eyes.

Well.. seems weird to me to be feeling like that, but I guess that has always been a problem with me, for being emotional and sentimental. Good thing or bad thing?? I also don;t know… but am feeling puzzled by the sudden change of mood recently… Signs of aging??
