*photo-looking*


was looking through the ex - cell prom photos which were taken about 2 years ago. i had funky short hair. i was more cheerful. i was even more naive. i was younger. i was a better person. smiling and glowing.

~

within a short 2 years, so much have changed.
i have long hair.
i've become more pessimistic.
i'm not so naive.
i'm officially an adult.
i am a worse person.
still smiling but some say ungenuine.

~

only heaven knows what becomes of me 2 years from now.
if there are any prerequisites to be taken to prevent me from becoming a horrid me, i would.
colours seem to be fading from my life.
i don't see any purpose.
i know there is.
God is.
i just don't feel it anymore.
all i wanna do is to have quality time with my loved ones, learn new things, earn, spend and save currencies. not forgetting some hours to myself.

ah lian. wild.
look at these 2 adjectives.
do they describe me?
my colleagues have used that on me.
i'm a little affected.
though only a few made that comment.
and in response, i ejaculated, "which part of me?"
then my male colleague remarked, "girls who wear toe rings are really wild."
i'm like duh. =I
do i even speak or behave like an ah lian?
here i must justify, i don't condemn ah lians, ah huays, minas, ah bengs, ah sengs etc.
the point is i think people hang on tightly to their visuality to form their impressions.
i don't really care about those negative comments because i didn't do anything against myself and most certainly against others.
another thing is i appreciate their opinions anyway. you can't change how people perceive you quickly.
perhaps most humans are judgemental.
i'm judgemental and critical too, i must admit.
however, my impressions can change. the person just have to prove it. and of course i must give a chance. sometimes i'm just too critical. i either take a longer time or don't bother.

i know my weakness is somehow more prominent these days.
like my blunt choice of words.
my indifferentness.
my quietness.
forgive me if you received any of the above treatment.
i'm tired of being good.
just gimme a break.
i hope i'll revert.
if i don't after some time.
just throw me back what you received and i presume i'll be sorry.

take care all. i still love ya'll. =)

Grandfather Lee: YOUR vision, not mine!

Mr Lee (Kuan Yew) is a well-respected figure in my family.  I shall take a picture of the biographies my parents have religiously bought some other day (maybe I should contribute by purchasing Hard Truths just to complete the collection).  Anyone who studied Singapore history would respect him in some way or another.  However, lately grandfather Lee seemed to be revealing his true self and not bothering much about how the current generation thinks about our society. Here is an article from New Nation, an online magazine I read. Former MM Lee Kuan Yew: The Singapore vision is your vision, not my vision. Pam Petite

Acquaintances with Benefits

When I was young (in upper primary), my birthday wishes were similar.  It was to have many friends.  That could be due to the fact that I am an only child and may feel lonely at times.  Thanks to my best friends (you know who you are), I seldom feel lonely.  I can easily identify who my best friends are.  They are people I would ask for opinions on important decisions I have to make, meet relatively regularly (at least bimonthly, quarterly) for chit-chat and my life would have been very different without them. According to Robin Dunbar , in order to maintain stable social relationships where an individual knows who each person is, and how each person relates to every other person.  Friends are essentially different from acquaintances.  Acquaintances are typically: #1. People whom you may have only met a few times at an event/function; #2. Classmates/schoolmates/coursemates you have encountered casually; #...

Love is Kind

So I went jogging and insisted on continuing even when the heavens gave me clue that it'll pour anytime soon.  It rained and I was drenched.  Since it was getting late, I had to walked on by to get home.  While I was at the traffic junction, a contruction worker sheltered me with his umbrella for a short distance.  I was really touched by his kindness.  Thank you, Lord for showing your love through the people around me.
