chasing gold, riches, beauty, fame
Sometimes u have to choose between greatness and religion.
Its really sad to see yourself turning into someone u don't wanna be.
I always thought peer pressure was for the weak..
But I'm not proud to say this, but sometimes, I pretty much feel that way right now.
In the past I say things subtly over social feeds hoping to gain someone's/particular person attention.
But now, I guess in times like this, I would prefer to seek the solace of my hidden journal. And in 20 years to come, only read my younger self as a silly little douche bag.
Sometimes things seem to be beyond control. Beyond reach. But Deep down I know, its just a waste of time to seek such cheap thrills. No help to career and opportunities.(but its soo soo tempting I swear)
I havn't always been that type to have many friends. I prefer having A few good friends rather than many "okok" friends? So why should I go out of my way to change that.
Someone once said I tend to bend towards the melancholy side of the spectrum. I guess its inbuilt in me. Something I cannot change. Its engineered into my blood..
My time of whining is up. I have to have the inevitable. project work
notetoself: Stay strong ben. Slowly and surely, things will get better!

Is this all to life?
So it's 4 am in the morning. And I'm pretty darned annoyed.
So this Indian friend shares a link of Stephanie Koh defending her position for saying y she isn't proud to be a Singaporean.
And he shares the link and say that he agrees to what she say that Taiwan is better and Aussie is better.
Cliche: the grass is always greener on the other side.
Maybe cos I've been listening to dr raju, a visiting lecture from melb to teach us mktg, whom has given us valuable lessons and comparison sg-Aussie, I mean. Hey. Aussie is great. Minimum wage is great. But I think most ppl only see 1 spectrum of it all.
I think ppl with no financial background should be taken seriously.
What really grinds my gear is that this Indian guy who likes to be seen as someone who has ideals goals and achievement give comments on such petty issue without first processing anything. Then reading his comment on fb really just puts me off.
I mean if you're someone who likes to portray your intelligence and broad mindedness, common. Get real. I mean if your gg to compare sg education system to Aussie or Taiwan and say that that particular country has more freedom for creativity and insist that it's better and that Singapore sucks. I mean hey I totally respect your theory. But gunning down sg system, I say hey "be glad that u can get an education." In fact, a highly educated person would just treat this as trash. You know like don't even bother with trivial issues and comment on something more practical to society.
I should even let this get the best out of me. It's so petty. Is not v Christian like. What would Jesus do? "My son, do not concern yourself of worldly affairs"
I think the key is contentment.
Not moving to another country.
Not having all you need.
After all, I believe in a greater being than just achieving self-actualization.
I think I really need a good alone time to reflect and come back to God. I've been way too far.
