Truth Be Told

It is fun to be in a foreign place, with all the room in the world to make mistakes without much to lose; to venture and explore in awe of everything that is not familiar; experiencing and immersing self in a setting that is conflicting with your own system of values and beliefs; where self-doubt, something which you thought has long been locked up and the key thrown away, comes to haunt you when you make a decision based on nothing but sheer guts and instinct; having lost the support of those close to you and having to build new ties and bridges.

It all stretches you to grow in terms of tolerance, like it or not.

Yet, at the end of the day, don't you yearn for someone who will whisper your Chinese name in the darkness, her soft breath teasing your left ear, as your head touches the silky pillow and that's the last thing you hear before heading into oblivion?

Face Value

Sad that people tend to take things at face value. I changed a faulty keyboard today with yet another faulty today. The old one had a space bar that was coming loose, and the "new" one is so stiff that you wish you had mastered the art of tapping on guitar fretboards just to use it properly. Just because the replacement was inside a new keyboard box.

When will we ever learn to stop taking things at face value?

The Ground Rules

Never fall for someone maternal
Never fall for someone chlidish
Never fall for someone materialistic
Never fall for someone cruel
... Never fall for anyone?

諗到哩度, 應該可以去食屎o架喇 ><

Masochism

Intentionally subjecting self to conditions that would normally be seen as substandard and detrimental to one's state of well-being.

Includes sending oneself off to a less developed and comfortable place to another of lower standard of living.

Without Burger King near the school canteen like how the new Deck is going to have.

Fortunately, I do have a fourth year with NUS.

Since I can't respond to comments thanks to the firewall here, Fie fie: yes Laurent is the CEO of the company, and he's French! Don't see him often though~
