hope does not disappoint Thursday, May 27, 2010 More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us. - Romans 5:3-5 a sentimental soul. While clearing things (yes i am still clearing, HAHA), I stumbled upon my essay in Secondary School and my poems in JC. Reading my material, and wondering how on earth I wrote them. I found myself smirking with embarrassment, or smiling with nostalgia, or just amazed at the kind of stuff I wrote. At some point, it seemed writing poems and/or stories seemed childish. Looking back, that was quite foolish. Apparently, the life stage after graduation is really the crossroads. The point of change - critical point. All these questions all now popping. People changing priorities and becoming busier. I think I'm quite glad when I realise that sociological concepts just jump at me in real life. I'm happy that what my degree is in, I can actually apply. In that sense, sociology's like dead poet society - you develop a dark humour that only those with that sociological frame of mind can appreciate. (sorry if I sound elitist, rofl) I find myself battling. Like.. between making it in this world (i.e. getting a relatively well-to-do job, excelling in career, being driven to achieve) and being just contented (like being a good person, self-development, etc). Resisting the strong pull of societal norms, like career, gender, relationships, family. Finding myself reflecting and thinking about myself, my character, whether I'm contradictory and whatnot. As I told a few close friends, when I was young, I thought that we'll all grow up and once we reach adulthood, Poof! We'll be wise, knowledgeable and know what to do with our lives. Then I realised that, Shit, that's not gonna happen. Growing up means we're still dealing with the same kind of problems, just that we're a little more experienced (from being through it again and again..). work Thursday, May 20, 2010 Today, at the kopitiam near my house, the drinks auntie brought my Iced Milo, and asked me in Chinese, "You are not working?" (ni mei you zuo gong?) I wonder how even she knows this. HAHA. Wedding photos done in UP style! :D Sunday, May 16, 2010 OMG WOW!!! :D :D :D http://www.weddingchicks.com/wedding-chicks/engagement-sessions/37401/disney-pixars-up-engagement-shoot/ random thoughts. Wednesday, May 12, 2010 Omg Kristin Chenoweth is AMAZING!! Check out glee episode 16. Her singing the last song is so impressive :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristin_Chenoweth On the way home today, I saw 2 girls, in their home clothes, sitting on the stairs of Serangoon MRT. It was late, about 12mn, and they were just talking. and they somehow reminded me of us all.. sitting late at night, at void decks, mac's, staying over at someone's hse.. just chatting. Nostalgia. Anyway, something embarrassing after that. I was at the bus interchange, which was quite empty. There were 2 pple near me at the 315 berth. I was sitting on the metal bars, listening to "She's Electric" by Oasis on my ipod. Suddenly, I caught myself and realised that OMG I was singing out loud! I didn't even there to look up lah!! Ahh well.. another reminder, that yes.. i'm still young :P the righteous blade of equality! Tuesday, May 11, 2010 "My eyes are up here! I am a person with feelings! Get out of my grill! I am a powerful woman and my growing feminism will cut you in half like a righteous blade of equality!” — Tina Cohen-Chang, Glee. Rock on (: change is the constant. Monday, May 10, 2010 If I have missed anyone's sms-es/ forgot to reply, I'm really sorry. I kinda stayed away from the comp since end of papers. It's a .. hiatus from the laptop. It's been about.. 4 days since my last exam ever. I'm writing at this hour, when previously I would be in bed by now. *shrugs* Since then, I have gone to the Pixar exhibit with Char and Selina (which feels a little as if you went somewhere far to watch tv.. amazing effects, but somewhat not very WOW!. we did fool quite a bit in the science centre, lol! :P) and gone to our Socio honours chalet/bbq (and having a revival for mahjongg- anyone?? :D ). Other times has been going crazy with playing computer games, watching tv, reading time traveller's wife. Somewhat refreshing, and somewhat getting dull. My aunt convinced me to go for a make-up workshop in June. I see the benefits, so thought might as well. I realise, the theme for me from now onwards, would be "getting out of your comfort zone". Change is the constant, aye. and yes. To all mums out there, especially mine - Happy Mother's Day :) Supporting my aunt. Check it out! (: http://superdupershopaholic.com/ | |
