Happily Ever After

Obviously there is no single version of HEA that everyone abides by and work towards. Anyone who assumes that everyone is after the same things in life is immediately a quack.

Connectedness

It just dawned on me that we are living in such a connected globalised world. Take my life as an example; each day I check my email, Facebook, Twitter and blog feeds multiple times. While I tune in to the latest music videos on Youtube, I can be reading the latest blog entry by Stephen…

Advice

There seems to be just this bossy streak in me that makes me give people advice each time they tell me their problems. Even in situations when they don’t particularly need advice but just need a listening ear, I somehow wind up with an advice to give them. Sometimes even when it’s not exactly a…

I would like to think that too

Someone commented “great job!” when I told him I’m still in school because I’m doing my Masters. I’d very much like to think that too. It feels like I’m taking a step forward on a backward moving travelator. A travelator which goes nowhere in particular, if I must add. And reassurance is through navel-gazing now….

Mugging

I was at the Coffee Beans and Tea Leaves outlet near Rendezvous Hotel and I saw a few JC students mugging for prelims already. AH~ I miss JC mugging. Being about to attack the TYS and mock papers question by question, being able to rattle off the 13 steps (or so) of DNA replication word-for-word,…

Random Rambles

I’m beginning to be like KL with her Multitude of Random Thoughts because there’s just so much things that don’t fall into any neat categories, and yet don’t warrant one whole post by themselves. __ Today I talked to someone who found out that I am doing Masters. He said he regrets not doing further…

How has Facebook changed my life

I thought I might do a tribute post to Facebook just in case it becomes the next Friendster. You neh know, ya? So how has Facebook changed my, and perhaps your life? Here’s a simple list: I am now adept at expressing myself in third person, thanks to the Facebook status. Before Facebook, putting myself…

To say or tell

It’s one of those late night musings – I’m no longer sure if I have a lot to say or a lot to tell. I used to think it’s the former, that I’ll be content saying things out aloud for no one to hear. Now I’m not so sure. Some days I feel all right…

Irony of distance

I just realised I haven’t really blogged about The Irony of Distance (Lo, 2008). Last year, I came up with a social theory called the Irony of Distance which states that knowledge distances people in the event of knowledge and power differential (or something along those lines). Knowledge here has a broad meaning – it…

Middle Ground

I feel that all we’re ever doing is striving for a middle ground. A middle ground between asserting ourselves and fitting in; a middle ground between doing as we like and doing as they like; a middle ground between receiving and giving; a middle ground between what’s right and what’s desired. The funny thing is,…
