Naturally, during certain circumstances, we tend to solve our problem rationally. The consequences of the problem will be weighted prior any action taken toward it.
In term of relationship, some people may weight from A-Z before they opt for theirs’ life partner. For instant; range of salary, education level, outlook, personality and etc. Certainly, this is a logical thinking because water and bread are more essential than love.
Whereas, for some people, they will never measure what theirs’ other half really have. A person who falls into this category may think that love is more important than anything else. Obviously, some may think this is irrational.
Samantha Jones in the series of Sex and the City; while she was in loved with one of the richest men- Richard in New York; she was irrational to agree with Richard to have a 3 sum (3 people in a bed) during Richard’s birthday. After she found out that Richard cheated on her, she was rational to end the relationship by told straight to Richard’s face: “Look, Richard, I love you but I love myself more!” Despite, Richard did not cheat on her again and in love with her.
If a person is too rational, he /she may misses out something that is important to them. In contrast; if irrational, wrong action/ judgment may be taken place.
To be rational OR irrational?

Mid-Autumn Festival
I went back to my hometown last two weeks ago to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. I recall that while I was young, I like Mid-Autumn Festival very much because during this festival kids are allowed to play the “fire” with the lantern.
While I was in standard two, the teacher who taught me art requested each of us to come out a lantern. I was just 8 years old, of course, I was not managed to come out a lantern. So, my grandpa helped me and my sis to create the lantern. I can still remember it was a big “star shape” lantern made by bamboo sticks. Although, the lantern was not created on my own; I was very happy and I lighten my “star shape” lantern during the Mid-Autumn Festival of the year.
And, Nowadays, I am so disappointed to find out that Mid-Autumn Festival is no longer important or special for kids. Is it caused by different upbringing? Or, the advancement of the technology has taken the attention of the kids? During the mid-Autumn Festival of this year, I sought my cousins’ help to light up the lanterns around the font yard of the house. Right after my cousins had lightened up most of the lanterns; they went inside the house and continued theirs’ games. Just realized, my house is well-equipped with the latest computer games, PSP and play station.
No matter how; I personally hope that the myth and the purpose of the celebration will widespread from generation to generation. And, if you have missed the celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, plan to celebrate this warm festival with your family next year. Wishing you all the best!!!
A "big" mooncake brought to us by aunty Mei Peng. So called "Moon accompanied by seven stars".
Me taking a photo shoot after the meal, look kinda weird.
