The Ugly People

Something unpleasant happened today. Although i was expecting it i was never quite preapared for it. So i busy myself writing this to keep my mind locked away. The picture might be a little disturbing to some but it conveys my feelings well. Hope it doesn't bother you too much



a miss in time
a miscalculation in faith
a fault in loyalty
a destiny decided

mistakes amplified a thousand times over
like beating hailstorms to mere rain
a single decision
a bounded consequence
a lie after another

and yet the stinging truth remains
like an epidemic virus
assiduously hunting you
why me?
why her?
was it something we done
or a simple mistake?

a miss in time
a miscalculation in faith
a fault in loyalty
a destiny decided

retribution, fate or misjudgment in fidelity?
as a mirage turns to reality
only dolour is to be remained

WHERE I STAND NOW

maybe i'm not as good as i think i am. I don't 'know-it-all'. In fact, I'm really as clueless as everyone else or even more! So who am i kidding anyway. but of myself? So many things are yet to be figured and some hidden potentials to be found. Clearly I'm not quite there yet and I have no intention of giving up or out. I might fail but already have a couple of times and learnt that its part and parcel of the learning journey i chose to undertake. & now that i'm mindful of what i want, nothing shall stop me. not til the very end. nothing..

you'll never guess what i am talking about heh. So don't bother trying too hard! & don't feel bad  because thats how it's suppose to be - to get you confused! :b

this shall serve as a reminder to myself and hopefully when i see this again in the future i can gauge how much i've improved or none at all.

GORDON Really needs your help =X

OK PEOPLE I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP NOW.

IF U CAN BE SO KIND, PLEASE SPARE SOME TIME TO READ WHAT I'VE TO SAY BELOW AND LEAVE A MSG ON MY TAGBOARD. I’D REALLY APPRIECIATE IT  

EVERYONE'S FEEDBACK IS IMPORTANT TO ME!! THANKS!! 

Ok, so here's the thing. In a few months time, I might be eligible to go to Beijing on a school trip for 6 weeks. Unfortunately, it's not for a holiday, neither is it to built homes for the poor. If I do manage to make it there, it will be a kind of school exchange program. Now, that doesn't sound all that bad until the school I’ll be at is the Beijing Information Technology College. And for a solid 6 weeks, I’ll be doing nothing but programming and coding. Now, programming isn't exactly my gift. In fact I resent it as much as I avoid it. That’s the truth. And I admit it.

But because of the perks that comes with it, including the such of heavily subsidised flight packages, good accommodation and weekends that are dedicated to touring all of Beijing, I am extremely hesitant. Not forgetting that going to Beijing in itself is an opportunity, it will shine in my resume. If I’m correct, only 20 people will be chosen to go. Of course I might be thinking too much as I might not be the one to go. But that doesn't matter. What does is my ultimate decision, when I’m given a chance, to take it or leave it.

So, this is where your advice becomes a part of my final decision:

Should I follow what my heart and instinct tells me, and skip this opportunity entirely; knowing it's not what I’ll enjoy doing and very likely be spending 6 weeks of hell in a foreign land 

or,

Should I just go with all of my guts and teeth clinched? I actually asked one of my uncle regarding this matter months ago(yes. it’s been months :/ ) despite my half heartedness, he did make a good point as an older man. He said, ‘look, nothing in life is easy and you don't always have a choice. When you get out there(to work) if the company chooses to throw you in China, sometimes you don't even have a choice. Not forgetting that you might not enjoy what you're doing there as well. To add to that we're often talking about months maybe years. 6 weeks is nothing. And for the experience, connections you'll make and how it'll be reflected on your CV, you should definately go without thinking too much.’  :O  :X   

 
HELP ME. HELP ME. HELP ME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT ANYMORE!

i'm a coward

like a door opening up to more doors. my dreams are what i call a fool's dream..


not in the usual way people use the word; I find myself quite the coward because I never(dared) pursuit or satisfy my desires or dreams. never.


Sometimes the case could be argued because it’s possible to find excuses such as the large sum of money or time involved but more often than not, it’s probably just me. After all the only thing that can really stop one from taking up a(sometimes crazy) hobby, joining classes or taking part in activities is from within and only within. So, like a coward who can't even face himself in the mirror and finds excuses for not wanting to, I really hate myself.


To begin with, I always wanted to learn waltz (yes the dance). Actually I’ve always had the thing for dancing but I never pursuit it.. maybe it’s because of my peers and parents. I know some might not accept it and my parents will probably not approve of it, thinking it’s for the ‘shallow people’ who don’t have a proper goal in life. That probably explains why I didn’t join dance(hip-hop) in poly as my CCA. I was also dissapointed at myself because I also feared that I wouldn’t make it past the trials and never bothered even signing up for it. Coward. I later found an old friend who's into freelance dancing, Shawn. He invited me to join him for a session. But I never did and till today haven’t found an excuse why and now I’m afraid it might be too late. 


I was also keen to learn to drum but insisted - in my mind - that I’m not up for music and will be better off keeping the money for other use (drumming lessons and sessions are very costly). I always wanted to sign up for rock climbing but my excuse for not has always been and still is because I couldn't find anyone to join it with me. I always wanted to.. and wanted to.. but I never once did. And opportunities lost are lost forever. 


is it really time or money? Or is it fear of trying something new? I do not know. All I know is I’ll stay a coward until the day I finally change.

To be Yourself is to Love Yourself

urself
I rock. whether you like it or not. LOL.


I'm going to do it the new yorkers' way whether ppl here like it or not.

ppl there behave the way they are. They rarely pretend to be who they're not. 

In other words they are very much themselves. With guys, girls and everyone alike.

I see those guys in singapore, behaving so differently with girls and a group of guys-only. Why? i wouldn't deny that i used to be something along that line but now i'm changing. And i dare say for the better. I mean, why is there a need to be different? for what cause? to charm girls? C'mon if you're really awesome you can be yourself and still win girls the way you are when you're with the usual gang of guys. Oh and if the girl really likes you, she'll like you the way you are. no?

let me give u a rather intriguing example. Although i guess most of u already know; and if you don't well.. read on.

Here's the thing. Do you know that all guys are in truth, very lustful and superficial creatures? maybe even half their minds are spent thinking of girls. If a group of guy-only friends meet up. There's no one session girls wouldn't be a topic for the day. And radars will be turned on if they stroll down the streets of orchard, all by defualt. Thats how we're made & this i assure you. Unless of course, the guy of concern is gay. Trust me. Even the geeks from top-notch schools that you thought couldn't care less about girls are very likely, perhaps, the most lecherous. Like many others, they simply deny. why?

thats just one point. There's still the entire issue of not being urself, character wise, behavior wise and the amount of coarse language used. by that i mean guys who severly tone down their vulagrities used with girls around. Well they still should. but in the first place they shouldn't be that vulgar for the matter..

I'm sick and tired of trying to be, different. heck. if a girl doesn't like me about something. I ain't going to change for who i'm worth. I have my own style and play. Although sometimes i do admit i get ahead of of myself, stray and let off the really ulgy side of me. then again thats all part of the real me. desire to change(or not) must come within me and not for the sake of another.

Plus, don't they always say relationships are where both party truely understand and accept their other half?  ;)
