Put your money where your mouth is.

This world is a world full of contradictions. People tend not practice what they preach. One minute will be this and the very next second, you see them doing what they said they would never do. What an irony. Do we call these fake or just plain hypocrite? It is because of this hypocrisy that loved ones are taken for granted because loved ones are the people who are suppose to be understanding. Loved ones have to always give in to strangers. It is always ok to hurt the feelings of the person closest to you because one always assumes he or she would understand. It is never ok to hurt a stranger or a distant person's feeling, because the moment you do it, you might lose their friendship. So how do we define this. If it isn't hypocrisy, then what is it? I would categorise all this under an idiom, "jack of all trades, master of none". Although this idiom is more suitable for the commerce field but let's look at it this way. One goes around trying to please everybody. In the end, he's unable to rise to actually be pleasure to any. Thus this causes him to even lose the one he holds dearest. So whose fault is it? The loved one for not being understanding enough (so to say) or the person going around and have always taken others for granted.

Uncivilize Drivers

Today as I was driving back on Connaught Highway, there was this one car namely Toyota Vios with plate number WM* 44** (kaka, being a kind person I wouldn't reveal the numbers), so selfishly did not give in to my way, despite me being in the right of way and having put my signal.
The car was filled with 3 chinese youngsters. Looks like they just got their liscense and here they are showing their new skills with their father's car! Since I did not get my way, so fine, I left it like that and these 3 cheekos (since when I offended them?) turned to look at me as me I was at wrong. So fine, you wanna play with me, I play along.
I cut to the right most lane and was ahead of them and these cheekos were stuck in the middle lane behind a cement lorry. (Wakakakakaka). Serves them right. You do not get anything for being uncivilize! I guess they were not satisfied that somehow I was still in the winning and the moment he overtook, he was at the back of me, TAILGATING me. (Some people just never give up, do they?) I was so not bothered cause the speed limit was 60 km/ph and i was driving more than that.
So, every now and then, I purposely slowed down my speed and at times I moved faster (learnt this trick from my mum =p) Guess finally, their patience tank marked full and they overtook me from the right, sped against me and manage to be right in front of me and the person at the back seat, turned back and gave me a stupid cheeky look. Being the more civilized driver, I did not return a nastier look, instead put my signal to move to the left lane cause afterall, I did not want to be in the right lane to make the U-turn. I wanted to head straight.
So, bottomline, doesn't that still make me the winner???? Cause before the U-turn, it was a long queue.......Wahahahahaha. So happy. Feel like telling them, "Uncivilized people not my kind"....

The Beauty of Being Blind

Was watching Oprah the other day and she aired about this boy in his teens who was born without eyes. When he was young, he went through a surgery which instilled in him synthetic eyes. To him, being blind is a gift and having eyes is not. Why so? With eyes, we are able to see people and judge them. With eyes, we are able to notice black and white, thus discriminate. With eyes, we are filled with and envy for others. So, isn't it in a way true that it is better being blind?

Who are we to judge others based on their skin colour, race and religion? Someone born dark did not ask to be born such, so why look down on a dark person? What is so great about being fair and having a dark heart?There is this saying which says, we are not that smart to call others stupid. We are not that pretty or handsome to say someone is ugly. So, the next time you want to discriminate a person through his/her looks, or skin colour, think twice because God is always great. You never know how your words will in the end hit back on you. Besides, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. No one is born ugly. Ugliness is from within. You can be superb beautiful or pretty but the very moment you discriminate and look down on others, it makes you no better and uglier still as a person.
