Working as I am typing this now. Ya. Working on a public holiday. Yeh!!
Anyway, part of it is my fault ba. Not really been efficient recently and this write-up is way overdue. It's close to completion so here I am, taking a mini break for my mind.
Writing at times seems so therapeutic for me. You just type whatever that comes to your mind and not have to worry how you should say it out. I am someone who hates to talk. I just find that writing is a better way for me to express myself. That's why the ICQ was a great tool back then when I got a gf. I can say things that I want to without worrying how I should say it. That's why you will hardly catch me chatting on the phone. Well, of course there were occasion when I did chat on the phone for long hours but these seem to be a distant memory now.
Last weekend was spent on Dota again. So was yesterday. Eve of a holiday. Ha. But it was fun. Sort of a bonding session for us guys ba. Anyway, I will be leaving for Thailand on Thursday morning. So it will be quite sometime for us to play again. Next week is for me to concentrate on my driving lesson. Like what I had stated previously, I really wish to pass. ;)
Read up on the news on the man who flung himself to the train recently. Reading that article make my heart break. For all the progress our country had achieved, there are still families out there struggling to make a living. The final gesture of giving $10 to his family for chicken rice was really touching. I had seen teens that had splurge money on branded goods, clubbing and all things that they deemed as fun. And yet, we have a family here who is grateful for having chicken rice for dinner.
I think more help should be in place for families like them. Though it was good that the public had came out with donations for his family but we should be looking ahead. We need to prevent further incidents like this from happening again. Cast a wider security net. Poverty can never be erased off the face of the earth. But death from it is something that can be prevented. How can we expect the poor to read the news and know that there is assistance from their MPs or town councils? We need to reach out to them. My heart goes out to these families. I hope that this incident will be a wakeup call to the relevant departments on how we can reach out to them and also to S'poreans. Realize that there are people out there who are struggling to make a living and though you might think that you are in a shit hole now, there are tons of people worse than you. Take it on your chin. Life goes on.
Well, need to go back to my write-up now. I am still hoping to catch Panic Room. :)
I never thought you were a fool
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere baby
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
It's just a moment
This time will pass
You can take a picture of something you see. In the future where will I be?
