Today while on our usual run along Swan River, Wei Hao and I came across the most beautiful sight, that of the diffused light of the rising sun, spreading itself into a majestic reddish-orange -- like a phoenix. But like all good things, it didn't last long. By the time we went to have a... Continue Reading →
On Disliking People
Bothered by my inability to accept another for who he was, I asked a friend if he himself ever had problems with people.
