Hello... please be patient while the site loads :D ~daph
kids..
9.8.06
i went to NTU with fred's PW group yesterday for their interview.. quite interesting, i learnt something new. I realise it's not good to be in a field of work for too long, as u'll just become an ill-informed old fogey. The lecturer did not know that there was such a thing as "Project Work" for A levels now, even though he's in the education sector.. He's a humans and political science lecturer!! I would've thought he was more in the loop of everything in Singapore.. Oh well, i guess i cannot blame him entirely.. maybe the same thing would happen on me.
I believe the problem lies in that people just get too comfortable in their routine that all they ever care about anymore is in their immediate field of knowledge. After all, that's the thing that helps them get the dough. For example, if you've been a hawker/doctor all ur life... u could just become oblivious to other things. A hawker may be in the know of all things food, but nothing else. Likewise, a professional like a doctor could very well be too caught up with the new medicines and treatments that they no longer bother about matters concerning the other fields. blab. i duno if that makes sense, bottomline is: we should never forget to reflect about life and why we choose to do the things we do. We should always spend the time to find out the things we don't HAVE to know, but simply to broaden our knowledge. Basically, to remember to smell the flowers even as we're making our trip to the destinations we've set for ourselves.
On another note, I was in a fairly accomodating mood yesterday i think. Usually, i hate kids. How they scream and bawl. How they scurry around among your legs even though u could step on them any time and get blamed for being callous individuals.
But anyway, a grand total of 3 kids were in my vicinity on the train home.. I actually smiled at them when they stared at me.. i was also being exceptionally patient when they cried. or should i say, screamed.. maybe i just miss the times when i was once this carefree. and nobody would care even if i drooled all over. haha. that's just a random thought i got. ^^ i tried to recall memories from those years, and i could remember none. Maybe that's why they were so carefree, because nothing mattered back then, but the pessimistic way of looking at it is probably that we wasted the time... especially since we can never take anything from then to the next phase of life.. well, not usually anyway..
My temper seems a little fiery lately. i can just get mad anytime. it's better if i keep quiet. which i try to. but i just snapped at my mum. believe me, there's always a good reason, but i just never bother saying it. and then i'll end up feeling so choked up that i'll explode. i wish there was something i could cause bodily harm to.. and a place where i can scream it all out. but no... we're no longer babies.. it'll be irrational and out of place to scream whenever we want.
