Disastrous yet hopeful? Reminds me of Lee Chong Wei vs Lin Dan

Perfect imperfection. Wow! Not every body can accept such defects.

CC: Something too perfect can be quite over the top, don’t you think?

Life’s like that…but the hurt and pain you encounter along the way will help make you a better and stronger person.

CC: Yes, I always think the journey is as, if not more important than the destination. It is the many trials and turbulence along the way that help shape who we are.

Speaking of imperfection… I often read of stories of imperfect couple making a perfect marriage.

Depends on how you look at it…

CC: Minus times minus equals plus!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Still a beautiful photo to me

IRONIC… =) We just can’t be sure what will happen..

CC: The unknown is one of the best parts of life.

What kind of plant is this? Strange looking leaves..esp the patterns / colours at the edge of its leaves. I didn’t find it disturbing..just not ordinary

CC: Not sure what plant it is, it’s in one of my neigbours’ courtyard.

I’ve learnt that imperfection makes the us all realize we’re humans. And we see past the imperfections, we’ll realize that everything we have is just so perfect.

CC: Indeed, the imperfection is what completes us.

Sometimes, not getting what you want can be a blessing in disguise. So, living in an unperfect life can be a wonderful stroke of luck. That’s what I like to believe

CC: That is true. That’s a chinese idiom to that effect too. When you loose something, it maybe a blessing in disguise.

very true! life’s stinks sometimes..but there’s always a light at the end to brighten everything up =D

CC: And the brightness will make those shadowed times worthwhile.

If everything is perfect then there’s nothing to learn about in life.

CC: That’s right! It’d be so boring!

So let’s enjoy life while it lasts cc, with imperfection we learn to appreciate perfection too

CC: I think that’s the whole idea. Let’s enjoy it!

There is perfection in imperfection. Even amidst squalor there is splendor. There’s beauty even in ugliness. Just like life, everything is in transition. Nothing remains, nothing stays forever. And yet nothing is random and everything happens for a reason.

CC: I agree.
