The Dongs.

I'm loving this life. The whole australian experience. It's like there's so much more to life to see and enjoy. Like finding beauty in the simplest and most natural of things that we usually take for granted. I blame the Singapore society for this. Haha.

But seriously, i find that so many years of living in a fast-paced city has transformed everyone into busy, kiasu, materialistic and superficial beings who dont have time to stop and admire anything other than good grades, pretty clothes, and man-made perceptions of beauty. Heck, there isn't even such a thing as beauty anymore in a city, people are rated on a scale of 'hotness' and everything is lost in concrete blocks, pulsating lights and the rumbling of vehicle engines. It doesn't matter if you're a beast in slutty clothing, people will still want to bang you.

Stupid society. What happened to all the ladies who used to carry themselves with grace and class? When was it that being a 'decent' girl went out of style and being a skimpily dressed party girl, the object of men's lust became cool? I guess I'm just old-fashioned but moving forward is not always a good thing. We lost so many treasured values and morals that have worked for generations of people.

I'd rather be an average girl but have one person look at me and think I'm the most beautiful and precious person in his eyes than to go all out to project myself in a way that would make the general public agree that I'm superficially attractive. I still might not understand why in the world I mean so much to cm but it gives me a warm tingly feeling, and it makes me feel more special than just knowing it was because i was a pretty girl on the street.

Enough emo talk! Going grocery shopping again soon. goodbye!

haha sorry just being random, but i hope you find this post meaningful too like me:)

probably because i am not studying so hard, not scoring so well, and things are not as smoothly as i imagined it to be recently.

But she's kinda right, that there is so much more to life than just grades and comparing results with my friends, trying to win all those PRCs.

I suddenly feel like I missed out so much.

I missed out life.

I'm not saying we should all just play and enjoy life and not study cos that's WASTING your life.

but probably I should not study for the sake of studying but to study because i love it and find joy in it?

Instead of rushing out webassigns, tutorials, and hoping every lecture in the world ends as early as possible, maybe I should just learn to enjoy it.

there may not be beautiful beaches in Singapore like in australia, but i believe there's beauty in this city life of ours too and i hope we can all look around and find what's real beauty in our eyes.

I hope we do not lose ourselves in this busy life of ours trying to blend into our surrounding but remain who we are.

who we truly are :)
