[C'EST MOI]
living paradox. individualist with anarchistic tendencies.
eludes eminence but appreciates subtle recognition.
capricious yet dependable. clandestine and unfathomable.
cynical realist who succumbs to the occasional idealism.
[J'AIME]
music. films. feasting & drinking. team sports.
good company; family, friends and those who share similar interests.
Just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to Mokkie and Ian who left little words of wisdom and encouragement regarding my previous post. I think both of them made alot of sense.
"ur frens will be there to hold onto u, until u find ur purpose in life! we can't tell u wat to do, but we'll support u!" "if everything you do in life is somewhat geared towards personal achievement and gain -the typical singaporean trait: treating everything in life as a commodity- it is only matter of time that life feels aimless, colourless and bland. life is much more than accomplishing great things or gaining some measure of status."
It's true, I've been living a selfish life.
But who isn't?
And much as I want to blame the competitiveness and dog-eat-dog society in Singapore, I too, have been weak and carried on by the mindless struggle to get good grades, make money etc, missing out on the big picture, that there are many people out there who are much in need of help.
I can make a difference.
Then there's the argument that given my coursework and it demands, I barely even have the time to sleep, how to do volunteer work? But I know if I really had the heart, I would make time for it, in spite of my packed schedule. So... I've decided to follow my passion and volunteer my services for a cause that's close to my heart.
I could be J; the dog-walker, or J; the kennel keeper.
That is, if I'm wanted.
Anyway, this aside, I saw something in NTU today for the very first time in my life. My dream car. In reality... in pure metal, cruising down the road in front of me.
A sporty and beautiful, red GOLF GTI!!! (but the owner spoiled it's looks a bit by pasting all those stickers... racing car-wannabe)
Anyone wanna give me a ride in one?

heya! tokin abt volunteering! i've this TRUE and really easy way to help to make a difference EVERYDAY! there is a website where you can click to donate food at NO COST TO YOU. When you click the "Give Free Food" button (once a day per person) at http://www.thehungersite.com, this simple action gives over a cup of fortified food to a hungry person. Funding is paid by site sponsors and food is distributed by two leading nonprofit hunger relief organizations: Mercy Corps and America's Second Harvest. The number of people who click each day determines the amount of food that goes to the hungry. (For more information please check the webpage).
A "click to give" costs nothing but a few seconds of your time, and gives help and hope to a person in desperate need.
set it as ur home page so u'll remember to click everyday.
if you think can click more than once a day... the answer is NO. As they monitor it, thus, even if you click twice it will only be registered as ONE. (check out on the F&Q for more information)
