yeah i know i have a stupid password. at least you guys can remember!
this weekend had been quite stay-home, doing some homework, stoning, reading (trash and non-trash), keeping in touch with peeps.
and i come to a conclusion.. (ok, sorry, this is gonna be random but it's insightful. huh!)

the world is really small. everyone's lives are intertwined in such a way that you can be so egoistic to say that the world revolves around you and you are the queen of the universe.
it's scary how everyone will know everyone and by coincidence, your A group of friends will know your B's group of friends' friend.. yeah, you get what i mean.
and it's quite freaky how people in sch esp can get hold of my number. randoms called me to ask about school stuff and i was wth. how did you get my number?
thus some privacy need to be kept. i need my space.
yeah, another realization was quite inspiring. ha. i think maybe all of us should just sit down and ponder how lucky we are. at least for me, i feel that i am so blessed that i take things for granted.
not like my parents shower me with gifts every now and then or i'm so well-to-do that i have a driver to chuffeur me around or i'm such a genius that i can get through all exams without studying. that'd be most people's definition of happiness and blessing. and for me, yeah, most of the time, i'd think this way.
but i was just reading some inspiration stories and not that it had a tremendous impact on me.. like how this angel bulb in my brain lights up, but it sets me thinking.
i have been very sheltered throughout my 17 years of life. i haven't gone through any major accidents or events and even if i met with something serious, it would always be cushioned by my parents or simply by external factors. pri school was like.. blurry images in my head cos i was just blindly keeping the days going. sec school was alright.. made some friends for life and hopefully the friendship remains strong even as we are scattered. mg was a school where most people are pretty innocent and lack indendence and real life skills. we certainly play alot but we never got to see the other side of singapore.
jc was supposed to be the turning point, but in acjc, we are still very sheltered and people i know are quite similar in terms of ideas, values, family backgrounds. although i see alot more people and know alot more things, but i never will get the chance to know them personally. i definitely would hope for the chance to do so, but sometimes when you don't click means you don't.
oh yeah, i think i should keep in mind that i have parents who keep me wealthy in all aspects, i have friends that just put a smile on my face, i know alot of different people who i can seek help if a problem arises, and the new batch of j1s whom i hope to get to know better.
i realized that time passed really really fast. tomorrow's the 16th and it had some significance to some people.
yeah, wen!!!! haha, you are finally getting into the working gear with your power suits. this job aint gonna be easy but try to have time to rest, yeah? well, at least you'll be going to NZ soon and that's a nice place to relax
then to aaron, peishan and hong hong, you guys are going to have so much fun in NZ. yeah, i hope aaron's sis can just give me a 7-day MC so i can fly there with them. yeah, a MC from australia huh? but it's gonna be just so fun. bungy! urgh. aaron is pretty scared since he's doing it all alone and he is afraid his fear might ruin his trip. but i'm sure bungy though scary is really really a life-time experience.
alritey, i'm going off to chinatown and get inspired by the CNY festive mood
