		<description><![CDATA[The Dark Knight - Batman&#8217;s latest movie instalment, is dark. I wasn&#8217;t anticipating this movie that much initially. Even after the movie, I wasn&#8217;t sure if i&#8217;ve enjoyed the movie or not. It&#8217;s a strange feeling. I found the movie long (it&#8217;s more than 2 hours), and the beginning a little bit draggy. But after [...]]]></description>

So here I am typing this article while the bite marks stare evilly back at me. Still, I&#8217;ve enjoyed the stay. It&#8217;s a breath of fresh air, literally, from the [...]]]></description>

Her phone rang which made everyone turned their attention to her, only to realise she&#8217;s pregnant. Someone then stood up to offer her a seat. She didn&#8217;t even thank him and seem to think it&#8217;s her right. And her crying [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I wrote about standing at the wrong place at the wrong time, I didn&#8217;t realise that there could be a further reason. I think it follows the bikini logic, where less is more.
When going shopping with my wife, I always find that I&#8217;m standing in the wrong place at the wrong time. Maybe, it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s the fruits aisle. You see people crowding around the fruits on display. In the oranges section, an expert hand dips in and out of the rows of oranges. To me, all the oranges look more or less the same. But somehow, the expert hand tries to look for the differences.
Everyone who&#8217;s crowding around the [...]]]></description>

We were trying to correct the very first step of all Tai Ji forms - the &#8220;raise your hands and put it down&#8221;.

While everyone is a beginner at some point, they do so with the aim of not being one in the future. Unfortunately, life&#8217;s lessons are not always delivered [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I stood up my teacher, with a last minute notice. No wonder he scolded me. It wasn&#8217;t intentional, but I was torn between family and learning Tai Ji. Sometimes Tai Ji wins, sometimes family wins.
There are good students who will turn up for class without fail, and then there are those students who will fail [...]]]></description>

This is the time when you start to wonder why things don&#8217;t work the way they&#8217;re suppose to work, and a lot of the times, you realise that history finds its way to invade the present rather than stay in the past, just like our QWERTY keyboard.
