Life's Bittersweet Simplicities

Simplicity

Today i sat in a restaurant that i have not been to in about 4-5 years expecting to feel as comfortable as i did a long time ago. I felt everything but that.

First it started as a small little place that had huge windows facing the pool. The deco was that of a traditional japanese wood hut and had the capacity to sit maybe only up to a maximum of 20 people. it was a cosy private little place once, a place i would love coming into and just sitting by the window staring at the calm blue reflection of the pool sipping on my warm green tea. a lot of sunlight streamed in through those big glass windows which was a huge plus point for me.

now the place has expanded and is all colours of dark with barely any sunlight being able to come in. the place is 4 times its original size and does not feel as it should be. the simple traditional deco is now somewhat a mix of modern contemporary and an attempt to still look japanese yet not to that of my taste. as i sat on one of their sofa like chairs i felt highly uncomfortable. not that the chair was uncomfortable, it probably is a whole lot more comfortable than the previous ones but the place just didnt feel right for some reason.

i was so sad at the whole complicatedness of the place i couldnt taste my food properly T__T but im sure it was pretty good because the giant chunks of raw fish i had did not have that annoying fishy scent or taste i hate.

and then today i had to go upgrade my ubertwitter only to discover they have also destroyed what i love most about it.

its simplicity.

the reason i use it over twitter.

now its all forms of messy and complicated and colour gradients of failed proportions that are an eye sore to me.

sigh.

okay la not messy messy but i really like how it used to look like T_T the brain dunnit to commute so much unnecessary information with the design and all.

cant people just enjoy the simpler things in life?

whyy whyyyy take away all my simple happiness T___T
