So I was doing my usual day job today and all of a sudden I thought of this one incident when I was young. I was caught "stealing" a basketball.
Ok to make things clear, back then in my primary school, we were forbidden to go to the sports equipment room, let alone use the things inside (which now I think back is kind of retarded, they could have just lock it -.-).
Anyway, being as mischievous as any young kid, I took the basketball from the room and invite my friend to play with me, thinking that I can return the ball before anyone could find out.
Well.. life isn't a fairytale, the teacher came before we could really start a game, and needless to say, we played the "who's the culprit" game.
So at that point of time, knowing that I'm the one at fault (and will eventually be found wanted), I panicked, I thought of ways to avoid this, like begging my friend to cover for me, I was so desperate that I wanted to pay my friend for it.
At last, I decided to admit that I was the one who took the ball, and well.. I don't really want to talk about what followed up :x
Just want to say that, I'm glad I did the right thing back then, because if I had done otherwise, I may just be very different from what I am now.
So here goes the end of my random story.
Have a great day people =)

Let It Be
Sometimes we cling on to something too long and hard that, we find it hard to let go
Sometimes we hate and love someone too much that we think it is impossible to forgive and forget
Sometimes the past, be it the sweet memories or the dreadful history, haunt us so much that we think there's no way we could move on.
I'm not a good practitioner, but all I can say is,
Let it be.

So yesterday I was doing up my resume for my scholarship application. And I suddenly realized something, that I'm a loser in life.
I always thought that I'm very good, but when I look at myself, the truth is, I've never achieved much.
Not only that, despite my age, I can't seem to get myself in checked, I don't know how to express myself, I don't know how to protect, I don't get the respect. Heck, what am I now?
Nothing

Fun Pack Song
Alright, so recently (well, not so recently's recently), in a practise NDP (NDP= national day parade, which is an event we hold every year to celebrate Singapore's birthday), there was this "fun pack song" being sang.
The objective of the song was to introduce whatever in the fun pack (which is basically a goodie bag that contains lots of stuffs, they were given to the spectators).
The song was so bad that I can't even find a sample of it on youtube, and due to the very bad reception, it was taken out from the NDP list of songs.
So this incident actually got me thinking "why does the fun pack song suck?"
Basically, I found out two reasons.
The first is, rather straight forward, it seriously suck (I've heard that and it's really bad for the ears, so don't bother finding it), it makes me wonder why no one pointed that out before it's being published.
The second is simply, the people. Now when I'm saying "people" I'm not talking about "people" that make the song, but ordinary "people" like me and you that condemned the song.
Songs, stories, they are similar to art, in the sense that their value are determined by the audience, even if the song suck like hell, yet people like it, it will be deemed good (e.g. any justin bieber songs that you can find), so, in a way, I believe, the citizens make this song suck.
Now this actually bring up an interesting topic, what is wrong with Singaporeans?
One common trait I realized about Singaporeans is that (myself included), we are always complaining, be it on the train timing, the taxi fare, the chicken rice price, the GST, we are ALWAYS complaining.
We tend to look at the bad side of things than the good side of it.
And we have very low self esteem on our own production, it's like, we will always have this prejudice that "the other country is better".
All in all, it's this prejudice that's really damaging.
So why, why did this happen?
It has really got to do with our "foreign talent" policy, now I'm not pointing the finger at it and blame it totally, but our natural born negativity, coupled with the policy, really gives a bad chemical mix in my opinion.
The truth is, if we don't even feel that we are the superior group in our own homeland, then where would we be able to feel so?
I hope for the best.
