Every life has a closure.
How will one's closure be celebrated?
With heavy hearts, we attended yours today.
 

No One Knows...

...if they will be happy by getting married to someone.
Don't look for answers.
Right and wrong co-exist in every decision.
Some people make a right choice and make it the right answer.
Other people regret the choice and make it the wrong answer.
There is no right answer in life.
There is only the process to make it the right answer.
 

I No Longer Have Patience

Tuesday 2 September 2014


 
“I no longer have patience for certain things, not because I’ve become arrogant, but simply because I reached a point in my life where I do not want to waste more time with what displeases me or hurts me. I have no patience for cynicism, excessive criticism and demands of any nature. I lost the will to please those who do not like me, to love those who do not love me and to smile at those who do not want to smile at me. I no longer spend a single minute on those who lie or want to manipulate. I decided not to coexist anymore with pretense, hypocrisy, dishonesty and cheap praise. I do not tolerate selective erudition nor academic arrogance. I do not adjust either to popular gossiping. I hate conflict and comparisons. I believe in a world of opposites and that’s why I avoid people with rigid and inflexible personalities. In friendship I dislike the lack of loyalty and betrayal. I do not get along with those who do not know how to give a compliment or a word of encouragement. Exaggerations bore me and I have difficulty accepting those who do not like animals. And on top of everything I have no patience for anyone who does not deserve my patience.”

Strange People

 (An old entry wrote in 2010)
 
 
After going to the gym for quite some time now (not religiously tho) there's one thing that really really bothers me.
 
 
Semi-naked girls.
 
 
That's right, girls wearing very little, some just in bras, some in undies, and some perfectly comfortable not wearing anything! You see them walking here and there, on the phone, drying their hair, applying makeup, changing out of their work clothes/sweaty workout clothes in the common changing area. It seems to me they are so used to being in a state of déshabillé in a roomful of strangers! Like a parade of flesh and each time i go there, i pray hard that i don't see some exotic boobs or disheveled cove. I just don't know where to look! I mean, it's rude to stare right??
 
 
No doubt we are in the twenty-first century and being naked in a private communal area may no longer seemed shocking to some but from where i come from, it is not something you would want to see very often. Being in Singapore for the last 15 years hadn't changed the way i feel about certain things too.
 
 
This afternoon, i saw this girl drawing her eyeliner in the most outrageous bright pink undie. So bright that i need a shade in case i'm blinded by it. Outrageous because there was an oval shape big gap at the back, from the waistband downwards to the top of her bum crack! (i leave you to your wildest imagination on how it might look like). Initially, i thought her undie was torn without her knowing, either that or she had a really rough nite. Then i realised it must be part of the design (or maybe the maker of this label didn't have enough fabric and he/she must have felt this is a clever way out of it!). Since it's not polite to stare at someone's bum, I had to look away quickly. So girls, if you want something like that, try google, suggested keywords: undies-hole-at-back-see-bum-crack; and who knows you might get it in time for Halloween!
 
 
Okay, maybe i'm too fashion-backward, but seriously, i don't know how to appreciate such a 'trendy' piece.
 
 
But despite people walking around in their birthday suits (or nearly), what upset me most is nobody wants to use the shower cubicle with a faulty door lock!!
 
 
What's wrong with them??

Revival




 
I am starting to write again. To put my world, my thoughts, my reflections into words.
 
 
Someday i might look back at them with fond memories or maybe just to have a good laugh at the crap i wrote!
