all's well
I changed to a new skin upon seeing that the pretty pictures of Paris are gone. I quickly settled for one, and this is what I found. I know it's a little gay for a guy like me to possess a blogskin like this, but then again, I don't really care. Haha.
Today was the second session of Open House training. There isn't anything spectacular to update, just that I want to inform all of the goodie bags we are giving out. I received news that it was a laptop bag with quite a few sponsored items, so for those who are interested, you can head down to grab a bag. The Open House is on 14th March, in NTU obviously.
Apart from that, I will probably describe a conversation I had today with a foreigner. She said that Singaporeans are taking the peace and stability as well as the good infrastructure and environment for granted. I will assumed that if you group them collectively together, she will be referring to the Government. Well, I can't disagree with her for sure. On one part, I genuinely believed that some Singaporeans are taking their privileges for granted, and rather than striving hard to keep hold of them, they question and desire more. On the other part, there are certain aspects of living here which are definitely worth questioning and improving.
I thought about this issue a little. Relative to her back in her homeland, Singapore's facilities might have exceeded her imagination and expectations of how living conditions can be. Hence, I conclude, it's an issue of relativity. If you are born into a well-off family here, tendency is that you may be asking for things that poorer people don't even think of. While the things that poorer people desire are probably already in your possession. So it's a matter of how you weigh yourself in the society. I believe most of you already know this, but probably you don't consciously remind yourself enough how this relativity issue can affect your life and expectations. And there arises the issue of dissatisfaction in life. Sounds like I am preaching to you people eh?
I went to a nursing home today and I see many elderly there. I have no idea if they were abandoned or still had families with them. Seeing them lying on their bed motionless, creates the impression that they are writhing and just waiting for their time to come. Sometimes, I wonder what will happen when time moves a little too fast. I have plans not to live till a ripe age and not to have kids. Haha. I will rather sign an agreement and donate our my organs. I should make myself useful before I die.
On a side note, I am absolutely relieved that things turned out just fine. And Somewhere Over the Rainbow is the one and only solo piece I ever performed on my Saxophone.
