monkeycrap's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \"In a mad world only the mad are sane.\"-------Akira Kurosawa Was going through my entries since i started this blog. Man i think there's been a lot of changes, both intrinsic and extrinsic. Heh. Had a talk with nut yesterday. Yup, more and more people are giving up on, well, everything. Well if i consider the problems i'm currently facing, i've every right to give up on this world and be really depressed. Yes i know that sounded cliche, but well, believe what you wanna. But i think being all depressed can be a little selfish at times. Being a firm beliver that everyone radiates an aura of emotional energy, i feel one's depression definitely has impact on others. And it ain't very right to bring others down with ya. I guess as with everything, balance is the key. I think there should be a balance between giving up and living, between retreating into our comfort zones, not interacting with people and actually going out to meet life's shitty problems head on. Also talked bout being hypocritical and talking behind people's backs and insulting them. I'm currently reading this book by yet another american, born jewish but went to tibet to look for answers. He was talking bout right speech, and how sarcasm and gossip can kill. But i think it's pretty impossible to refrain from doing so. Personally i think that humour is really, really one of the basic essentials of life. And to me, the best humour comes from gossip, advertising spin-doctors and insults. Nothing cracks me up more than talking about people, reading gossip trash in the enquirer, proven weight loss ads in muscle mags, stand up comedies and spoofs of books, movies and songs. Well i guess balance is the key again. And it'll be quite a struggle finding the mid point for that one. Got my prelim results back, i'm half satisfied and half disappointed, for the simple reason that i did well for gp and chem, but screwed up the rest of the papers real bad. Ah well. There's only one word to describe orchard road on a saturday night: satanic. By orchard road, i'm only referring to the stretch of road along taka, far east and lucky plaza. The rest of it is spared from the wrath of evil. Let me make it clear. I don't hate orchard road on a saturday night. I absolutely detest it. Ok first and foremost, it's congested, cars are honking like as if they're declaring the arrival of the president of mars. Who, by the way, is au. Buses take forever to arrive, and get stuck in the congestion, and i reach home 45 mins later than usual. Ok but that's not the bad part. The worse part of orchard road on a saturday night is the number of so-called posers and fakers around. Personally i think that these people can be divided into 2 groups. Losers and big losers. The losers are those who fake in speech. You know, the ones who can't get their accents right and end up sounding bolivian instead of british. What's with all the faking? To up one's social status? Now i know that we all have incorporated slangs and colloquialisms into our singlish, for example the word 'duh' and 'like'. But these people go way way out of hand. It's impossible to describe it, you've gotta see it to belive it. It's like they're trying to make a point by faking. I think i'd have better chance making my point when i whack their guinnesses with my webster dictionary. Then there are the big losers. Yesterday on the bus, this guy just came up and simply shouted a string of expletives to his friend, bitching about some people who won't give way. Yes, i know you're hot, bothered and that your urinary tract is hurting because it is filled to the brim with the STD causing bacteria which resulted from the loose screwing you've had over the years, but do you really have to express yourself like that? If you really need to, you can do so at the esplanade, or in hell for that matter. Maybe it's just me. I'm not so much of a people person, to start off with. Maybe i should just make friends with the std causing bacteria. Ciao. 8:04 a.m. - 2003-09-21 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
