It’s 3.24am and I’m hungry. But there’s nothing at home that I can munch on, and I’m simply too lazy to cook *bleah*
shall go to bed with my stomach growling.. argh, as you can tell, I didn’t manage to stay away from my laptop the whole freaking day… such a slave of technology=(
Ok, I need to sleep so that I can stop thinking about my hunger. Hope I won’t 做“饿”梦:-p
Missing someone gets easier everyday. Because, even though it is one day further from the last time you saw each other, it is one day closer to the next time you will…
=)
but of course it’s not going to get any easier if you do not know when you will see the person again…
Ha, just read the papers and found out that it’s SHUTDOWN DAY today.
What is Shutdown Day? It was started in Canada by computer developers Denis Bystrov and Ashutosh Rajekar to urge people to unplug themselves from their computers and technology (including handphones!) today in an effort to regain control of our lives and re-connect with the non-virtual world. The aim is to also to get to think about how their lives have changed with the increasing use of the home computer, and whether any good things are being lost because of our increasing reliance on technology.
Can we really survive without technology? Do you use facebook and MSN to keep in touch with your friends – or do you have virtual friends whom you haven’t met? As urged by a psychiatrist, tech addicts may “find it harder and harder to live in the real world, using the virtual world as a form of escape… so slowly, they get less adapted to living in the real world and develop real feelings for the virtual world and its characters.”
In relation to my previous post, yes, I think I’ve been messing around too much in the virtual world that I’m becoming less adapted to interacting with people in the real world – not that I was any good to begin with… Hmm, so what can I do now? Ok, go offline. Ha. Nah, I’ve got resumes to send out, shows to watch, stuff to ramble about here… Anyway, it’s merely symbolic to do it for a day. We should consciously do it everyday if we truly believe in the cause. I think it’s hard to be devoid of the world wide web but it’s definitely easy for me to stay away from the phone because – I’m sad to say – I’m seldom contacted anyway=p
P.S. Note: That is not a hint for you to call me more often… I still prefer it not to ring *bleah* I welcome SMSes though=)
I have so much to say but I’ve no idea where to start, how to start and what’s appropriate to say here.
The past semester had been fraught with several ups and downs. I can almost be certain that I will have a bag full of Bs this semester which drags me further away from getting a first-class honours degree. Is that what I really want? Is that what I need? Ultimately it’s all about recognition and money isn’t it? But how important are those in my life? I have always thought that those were central to my life since I had nothing else to yearn for but idealism ultimately gave way to realism – What is the point when there isn’t anyone to appreciate one’s achievements? Besides, there comes a point when fatigue sets in and one can no longer achieve as much as before. How much longer can I use my achievements to define who I am? Not anymore and definitely not much longer. How else can I define myself then? I truly don’t know and that’s the crux of the problem. I do not need a list full of you-stare-at-them-and-they-stare-at-you achievements as much as I need better inter-relational skills to be a better friend to my friends.
I have always thought (again) that I am a good enough friend, occasionally caring for my friends, listen to their woes and help them with their problems but I can’t see beyond the role of perhaps a counselor. What makes a friend actually? Some use the term loosely and add random people on Facebook as friends. Has it come to an era when people do not understand the meaning of “friends” anymore? Yet, some, like yours truly, are slightly more discerning in whom they call “friends”. Again, it’s just like the term “emotions,” we know in our hearts what it is until we are asked to define it.
I am glad that along the way, several much appreciated friends made me realize what kind of friend I want to be and they gave me hope and anticipation and I can be in fact be a better friend. So don’t be too surprised if I’m nicer to you than usual… and having said that, please don’t expect too much as yet because it’s simply too overwhelming for me to attend to every single one of you. It takes time and I can’t promise anything but I will try… definitely=D
I was hit badly with the truth that I am nothing more than what’s on my CV.
