Life?!?!?
What is an ideal way to live? If u ask me this question, i do not know how to answer u. How would i noe? But i do enjoy drinking tea from the tea set i bought recently. Using a wooden spoon-like utensil, i transfer the tea leaves into the tea pot. There is two tea pot, one to mix the tea leaves with added hot water. The other will be used to contain the hot tea. It is necessary to transfer the tea from one pot to another, otherwise the remnants of the tea leaves continue to affect the quality of the tea. As time goes, the tea becomes more bitter if u do not transfer the tea and leave the leaves behind.

At first, the tea i brewed had a very plain taste, because i was impatient and i didn't add enough tea leaves. I didn't wait long enough for the taste and essence of the tea leaves to be diffused into the water. On my 2nd try, the tea is too bitter because i was greedy and added too much leaves and gave it too much time to settle. The tea was beyond good balance. I felt like spitting the tea as it was too unbearable for my sense of taste. The 3rd time, the tea was good. Suddenly, every other thing is no longer matters to me. All i noe was that i was drinking tea and enjoying myself. Then when i finish my tea, i was back to my revision for my upcoming exams.

The rich is not good. The poor and undernourished is not good either. What is good then? The balance between the two extremes! But what is this mid-point in life? I do not know. All i noe is i want to brew some good tea and enjoy my tea. This is life.
