think

We've only got 86 400 seconds in a day.

I just found and read a friend's blog, and I admired how much she expresses in her blog, yet subtly hiding names...

I would never be able to tell so much in my blog, which is a good thing because I have a lot of things to hide.. haha, and never feeling comfortable enough to hide names and talk ambiguously about certain topics. I tried, but it's not something I like doing either.

Write a lot, or don't write about it at all.

Hmmm.

When I was a child, I was not allowed to speak or interrupt adult people talking. So I listen. And wait.

My aunty told me that she asked me to say please or thank you when I took chocolate/candy/sweet stuff that children like, and I looked at her with teary eyes and put it back into the container - I'd rather not take the candy than say it, she said. She said I had principle. Haha.

I don't think that was the case. I think, it was more towards me thinking it was her way of saying I couldn't have it. Somehow to me, the other way wasn't a possibility.

And no, it's not cute to me. Just sad.

Hmmm. I think, I started having preconceptions about people from young. So, I know that a statement can be very ambiguous to people in general, or to me as a young child in specific.

When I was young too, I thought a lot. I thought that if a whole cake was cut into half, and the half was halved, and on, there would be a point where the cake (however small) could not be cut into half any longer. Now I know it as an atom..but an atom has smaller particles to it too.......it was cheese cake by the way XD I imagined a cheese cake. When I imagined a Kancil, it was red, and so when I started going out with Zhe Xian I always imagined his car being red and not navy blue as it is. It took me some time to get used to it. x)

There was also a point where I didn't ask questions when someone told me things about him or herself. Mainly because I thought I knew the answer and reasoning to my questions, but I found out I was wrong as I listened to others converse. So I ask nowadays. Except that my questions are so boring they are boring me until I don't ask as much anymore. -.-

It's a learning process, I suppose.

U do alot of thinking, which is a good thing. It means ur evolving. Remember ur thoughts no matter how boring u think it they are valid and people want to hear them. often time we are more criticial of our selves than other are on us. Remember we are our biggest critics. Keep putting ur thought out hear we're listening.
