respect

•June 11, 2007 • 6 Comments

Having quite a debate on Nickeline’s blog. I tagged a lot of my opinions on his tagboard. Mainly because i have quite strong feelings about the issue.

To me, the issues are Respect between a child and parent, and blogging.

I really have a bad feeling about blogging this, haha, think i might get flamed.

Anyway issue number 1, respect. Some parents  feel that the child should show respect to them and not argue with them. I am VERY against the “I am your father and thus I am right” Luckily, my parents still give me some room to, erm, have a “creative discussion” and they listen to me. This being the case, i respect them a lot, because not a lot of parents are willing to listen to their child, some would use the “I am your father/mother” line, while some simply dont care. I feel that in this day and age, parents should open their ears, and i say this in a non hostile manner, and listen to what the children have to say. But i also have to say that children of today, including me >.<, are getting well rebellious. They are our parents after all, and i applaud them for raising us till today, it’s no easy task. Respect should be given when it is due. So it’s more of a give and take releationship.

Issure 2, blogging, especially about someone who might have did something wrong. Again, i can see both sides. On one hand, people feel that one should not be afraid if he/she feel that he/she did nothing wrong, on another hand, some people feel that personal affairs, like what happens in a household, should not be so readily availiable to the general public. In other words, very loosely and inaccurately summarized, some parents feel that blogging about personal family matters is a big no no… no matter who is right or wrong.

Well put it this way, it’s hard to clearly say who is right and wrong. On one hand if the accused party has did nothing wrong, why is there a need to be afraid publiclity? On the other hand, some matters are too personal that even if the accused party has done no wrong, it shouldnt be publicised. And we being human, tend to go with what is to our advantage, meaning, if we are the accused party, we, well most of us, say that the matter is too personal to be disclosed, and thus shouldnt be so easily accessed by the general public. On the other hand, if we are the accuse-sea ( it’s a make up word, i have no idea how to spell it), we would say that, in Singlish terms mind you, ”You do nothing wrong what, why so scared i blog?” 

*looks at post* I think i’m going to stop here, i lost my train of thoughts, and frankly, i’m not sure what i’m trying to say either. haha, and i think my command of english isnt that good yet, quite hard to find the correct words to describe some stuffs, so i have to resort to singlish to explain my point, as you can see from the previous paragraph…

Oh, and this is just my personal opinion, i hope no one gets offended by anything mentioned or said here, and if i have so ungraciously done so, you have my deepest and most sincere aplogizes.

And please post your comments on this, i want to know what you guys think, but more importantly, my blog hasnt been getting a lot of comments recently haha =)

Finally, the holidays are here. I think we all deserve a nice break.

But there’s still reports to do and test to study for. Well, at least this time we have 2 weeks.

Anyway, i will be away next sat and sun. Going on the batam trip i promise to go with my family =) And there’s a class outing this wed. Looking forward to that too.

Finally, i got the full version of Stronger, it’s my favourite beat now.

Social comm meeting today, no year 2 turned up, except Kevin of course. I don’t know what to say lah, honestly, i’m “angry” and yet not angry at the same time. I didnt make the meeting compulsory for the year 2, cause i understand a lot of ppl have tests these days, but Kevin turned up, even though he has a Calculus Test tmr, which might i add, is probably a lot more difficult than any test anyone else might have. Really appreciate what Kevin did.

Anyway, i’m not angry, maybe just a little dissapointed.

n- n- now th- that don’t kill me
can only make me stronger
i need you to hurry up now
cause i can’t wait much longer
i know i got to be right now
cause i cant get much wronger
man i’ve been waitin’ all night now
that’s how long i’ve been on ya

Work It Harder, Make It Better
Do It Faster, Makes Us stronger
More Than Ever, Hour After
Our Work Is Never Over

 

make an effort

AGM today, I wish i had smaller shoes, pants, and shirts…

Plant design test was ok, think i should be able to do ok in it, although i felt that i made some mistakes that i shouldnt have.

It’s so obvious, at least try and make an effort to cover it up. I’m practically reading you like a book.

Not sure whether i’m looking forward to holidays or not. In fact, i’m not sure where i’m going, all i know, is that the ground is moving in the opposite direction.

masquarde

•June 3, 2007 • 4 Comments

It seems like the whole world is one, a masquarde i mean…

Everyone puts on a mask, everyone goes has a tough time but never shows it, and everyone thinks no one knows how they feel like. Which is reasonable, no one will ever go through the exact same life another person is going through. Some people might be having it worst, some people might be having it better, but no one certainly is going through what i am right now.

Life has been pretty messed up lately, so many commitments to so many different people. I’m getting very tired of this mess. Brain’s all jumbled right now. I hope you guys understand if i hand in my part of a report a little later that planned, or if i cant help you guys with your studies as much as i could, or if i cant make it certain events like poly 50 or a batam trip, or if i miss out on badminton sessions or studies sessions.

Or if i get very frustrated at small things, or if i act differently than i use to.

Well, i hope you guys understand, that certainly doesnt mean i expect anyone to.

Oh, and no, i dont think i want to talk about it.

fight it

I love this pic, it was taken by another blogger on wordpress , i cant seem to find his add now though. No hidden meanings whatsoever, just Carpe Diem.

Seems like a lot of people are busy these few days, especially with studies. I realised how caught up people are in their studies, including me. It’s important, no doubt about that, but lately, i think i have been disregarding a lot of my friends, especially my sec sch ones, because of work.

What’s to do? We live in this era where your wit determines you fate, and your gpa determines your future. I wish it would just stop, even just for a day.

AGM banner painting tmr, hope it’s not a whole day affair, i got Fluid Mech test on Mon.

accurate

•June 1, 2007 • 1 Comment

This is surpringsly accurate

you chose CX – your Enneagram type is TWO (aka “The Charmer”).

“I must help others”

Helpers are warm, concerned, nurturing, and sensitive to other people’s needs.

How to Get Along with Me

  • Tell me that you appreciate me. Be specific.
  • Share fun times with me.
  • Take an interest in my problems, though I will probably try to focus on yours.
  • Let me know that I am important and special to you.
  • Be gentle if you decide to criticize me.
    In Intimate Relationships

  • Reassure me that I am interesting to you.
  • Reassure me often that you love me.
  • Tell me I’m attractive and that you’re glad to be seen with me.

What I Like About Being a TWO

  • being able to relate easily to people and to make friends
  • knowing what people need and being able to make their lives better
  • being generous, caring, and warm
  • being sensitive to and perceptive about others’ feelings
  • being enthusiastic and fun-loving, and having a good sense of humor

What’s Hard About Being a TWO

  • not being able to say no
  • having low self-esteem
  • feeling drained from overdoing for others
  • not doing things I really like to do for myself for fear of being selfish
  • criticizing myself for not feeling as loving as I think I should
  • being upset that others don’t tune in to me as much as I tume in to them
  • working so hard to be tactful and considerate that I suppress my real feelings

TWOs as Children Often

  • are very sensitive to disapproval and criticism
  • try hard to please their parents by being helpful and understanding
  • are outwardly compliant
  • are popular or try to be popular with other children
  • act coy, precocious, or dramatic in order to get attention
  • are clowns and jokers (the more extroverted TWOs), or quiet and shy (the more introverted TWOs)

TWOs as Parents

  • are good listeners, love their children unconditionally, and are warm and encouraging (or suffer guilt if they aren’t)
  • are often playful with their children
  • wonder: “Am I doing it right?” “Am I giving enough?” “Have I caused irreparable damage?”
  • can become fiercely protective

2 deaths

•May 31, 2007 • 3 Comments

Happy, our family’s pet hamster died today. My sis is pretty sad about it… Turns out, no one fed it for 5 days…

And apparently, i got the wrong date for the poly forum interview, it’s suppose to be 30th May, i thought it was 31st. Hmm…

I feel like playing this new game, Grando Espanda. But it’ll probably affect my school work and everything, i hardly have enough time for myself these days. Honestly, i feel like just giving up on a lot of things that i know i wont, because it’s the “right thing to do”, and instead, i’m giving up on things i wouldnt, because “they aren’t as important”.

And things arent exactly turning out the way i want them to either.

Hmm, i think he’s still alive
