humans are selfish

Sunday, September 23, 2007

we are so selfish.

yes don't tell me you are not

we always think of ourselves.

"Oh, how about me?"
"I am going to lose out"
"who cares? not my problem!"


During WDA PA, I was buying fruits and apparently, val saw some flies around the fruits and then she told me not to eat. then I innocently asked why din the vendors take precautions? I mean what if someone get food poisoned or something.

She told me, "Do you think they care? they only care of selling of what they have. Nobody cares for you but only your family."

can I add my friends too? lol

yea true, who really cares. especially in this pragmatic world out there where I am killing you, you are killing me and selling things to earn that decent bucks. Nahz, disclaimer again: It doesn't refer to ANY FREAKING ONE OR ANYONE ALIVE.

I am so learning to be selfless.

Life lessons to start will be in university life I realise,
People are so KIASU and think their notes are like their route to success in life.
so when I ask, "hey can I lend your notes?"
funny looks of exchange, implying, "NO! YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE ME IN EXAMS"

can I blame them? yea no, blame myself for not attending lesson.
because university works in a bell curve.
my grades are determined by my peers.
they do well, I do bad.
they do bad, I might do well.

it's not a constant but a dependency variable!
gawd, we are moulded into selfish human beings....


I want to help (truthfully)
until now, i feel guilty for not giving answers for past year exam questions to my yr 1 friend but my mum taught me to be GRATEFUL.
if this friend refuse before, why Should I help him/her?

looking at historical records, why should i?
then the taunting question, "good deeds are done without asking for anything in return"

ok so now, people can ask me for notes without even blinking.

------------------------------------------------------

how about feelings?

you keep helping someone then in the end the person refuse to help.

my prof from England told me a joke(I thought it's funny so laugh with me, HAHAHAHHA)

He find Singaporeans have this weird culture where people help you once and you have to remember it so next time they ask for your help, you are suppose to reciporcate.

who tracks this?
maybe get a LIFE ORGANISER.

I laugh to myself. everyone drew a stern expression.
why?

because I can't even remember who helped me and whom I help?
am I suppose to be a non-Singaporean because only my prof and I were laughing.

feelings. hmmmm.. how do you feel when your friend is selfish?

sucks eh! BOMB HIM/HER, THROW SHIT AT HIM/HER, CURSE AND SWEAR ALL U WANT but at the back or the new way, FACEBOOK! (my friends who got spanked, slapped, kick are just for fun!hahha)

swallow it and say, you won't stoop so low to be a moron like him/her.
as I say again, IT DO NOT REFER TO ANYONE ALIVE DEAD CONDEMNED BY ME

It's just my thoughts of nonsense and I wanna let it out.

man, I do offend alot of people but WHO CARES? lol
people say I got attitude problem but THAT'S THEIR PROBLEM. lol


lastly, my wonderful conclusion will be:

"Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it is thinking of yourself less"

cheryl's nick but I am still figuring out.....


NO SELFISH BEINGS! OR ELSE YOU ARE A MORON!

FIGHT WITH U IN FACEBOOK - VAMPIRE, CS, WARBOOK. HAHA

today is the day I LEARN

Friday, February 23, 2007

ok, it's 3.50am and I just finish my e-lecture for accounting 2.

IT WAS THE LONGEST LECTURE I'VE EVER LISTENED.

from 10.30pm till now.

geez! so much for the LAGGINESS - buffering, buffering, buffering

finally did it. YEAPS! I am a gd student ok, waking up my dreamy idea.

learned so much in the last 8 hours that I bitched with nneth on the phone from 1am to 1.35am.

TRUST me, I am DESPERATE to bitch to him even how much he sounds bored & so very unreceptive. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

eventually he gave the response I wanted though.

"hey U noe what happen?!!"
"I DON'T KNOW, OF COZ I DUNNO LA! HOW WOULD I KNOW!!!!!!!"



I HAve to blog. must blog
i am so excited blogging abt my BITCHINS'
here goes:

1. This is THE meritocracy world. results matter. you are the top gun and you get the top shots. what the hell! how about street-smarts. do the top executives even know about the apprentice - what makes?

so tell me, I got Bs and Cs and NAHZ, I am so-not cut out for the working world. NAHZ, I can't work my brains so unqualified for the position?

eh, I am not saying I am the BESTEST but give people the CHANCE ok.
TOP SHOTS getting the Professional Attachment opportunities I want. boooooo hooooo!Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

2. Friend deserted friend for Final Year Project.
tell me in this world, how much FRIENDSHIP is worth?
a penny.

yay, people will shoot me now.
of coz not. priceless.

2 good friends are suppose to paired up for final year project and looked for 1 more in their team.

in the end, the good friend teamed up with other 2 people and left the friend waiting in vain for her response.

Poor friend waited, waited and waited.
finally, the good friend told her she's NOT in the group.Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
yeaps, she's grouplessnow.

and everyone seem to have their own groups now, found their supervisors.
deadline is running out

I am so not involved in this. I am just an onlooker but I pity the poor friend.
I tried asking people for her but everyone seemed to have a group already.

tell me again, HOW MUCH IS FRIENDSHIP WORTH?
even my friend can be crazy(like e*ain*, haha!) we don't deny them.
it's a principle and I live by it.

3. gf on the looose

I thought we are living in a crazy world but I realised people are even CRAZIER than before!

Not about depression, guys.
no offence but there's a gf who is a NUT CASE!

haha. pretty funny actually.

I heard from my friend in china for Global Immersion Programme that her house mate often try to commit suicide whenever her bf tries to break-up with her.

is she INSANE? people are trying to pay tons of money and struggling to LIVE while she just wanna end her life for some guy?

the thing is, she do it so often that my friend is getting pissed off and too unbelievable.

she become a JOKE now.

like HAHAHA LOOK AT HER, THERE SHE GO AGAIN. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

yada, she's in china and so is her bf.
according to my friend, she has marks all over her hand because of attempted suicides. she even tried jumping off the hotel if need be.

running out of ideas?

this is one ultimate!
she told my friend that they BROKE UP.

my friend eventually found a contract agreement of the CRAZIEST THING I've ever heard of.

"the agreement states that they will patch up after graduation and that during this time, he will not go out with girls, make eye contacts, be close to any girls or else she will kick him to become an impotent man, give tight slaps etc. he will also give her the money for hymen-repair operation due 1 year after graduation."

signed with thumbprint.

tell me this is a JOKE! Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
apparently not!

I heard that both of them receiving counselling now.
the ger is super possessive, check his msn, emails, phone and plays her PLOT whenever he wish to break-up.


one word: SIAOZ!

I know love can be crazy but don't get crazier than that!

don't screw loose because of going gaga over someone.

the brave little kiwi

Saturday, January 27, 2007

You must watch this. I teared because it's so touching.

I was immerse in the kiwi's feelings and emotions in that state.

It's how powerful a short animation can bring across such a strong storyline with meanings




When I watched this, I did not understand what it's trying to do until I went to the website and read up on this:

"Kiwi!" is an animation about a Kiwi - a type of bird that cannot fly, who spends its whole life working towards achieving his dream. The kiwi strived to create the illusion that it was flying over a forest as it soared down through the sky from the top of a cliff. Thus, the kiwi spent what must have been its whole life nailing trees to the side of a cliff. All this, to fulfil its one dream of flying, even though it was technically unable to. There are several powerful messages behind Kiwi, but mainly, it makes you think: no matter how absurd and seemingly out of reach your dreams are, what's stopping you from achieving them?


Kiwi's had a huge online success, with currently over 1.75 million views and 9000 comments on the online video site 'YouTube' in approximately just 3 days. The animation has been recently featured on YouTube and currently ranks in at the #1 favorited video in the arts and animation category of all time. As I'm sure you'll agree, "Kiwi!" is an inspiration to us all.


truly amazing and motivating. the kiwi died after fulfiling his dream, the dream of flight.

how many of us can reach this point of enlightening, slogging to get what they want?

I must buck up. been heads down and truly this is inspiring

don't ever you bring my confidence down.


my friends, you can do it too

judged

Saturday, May 13, 2006

Yeaps that's human nature.

they ASSUME.

don't people noe ASSUME is juz making an ASS out of U & ME

someone juz shoot this question that time:
"Is it because he's not earning enough to support u?"

gosh! people's perception.

am I demanding?

I ask myself....

anyway, everyone has their own expectations as long as u r firm of what u want.

i know what i want for sure.

the BASICS - food, transportation, movies

a guy should pay.

nahz... not LV, BULGARI, CD blah
I dun need lavish or luxuries to satisfy my life.
I also dun need the stickiness man ever.

i wanna have the freedom to love and he has his freedom too.

" give a man his wings and he will fly to u in speed."
my believe.

then again, each couple should give their own space - their own friends, his own career, his interest pursue and maybe juz time alone.


thru time, passion dies down and all we need is a best friend to tok to and one who understands all.

my take: a couple too close may end up in a disasterous fall. being too dependent never helps. im saying in terms of my own POV and refering to noone in particular. all i can say is u have a whole lifetime being with the person u love so y hurry?

I dun wish to make the same mistake of falling out of love and realised I have noone to turn to?
this is a result of being too dependent then realised all the time in the world was spending on the other person. by the time, all frenz juz can't feel the connection of "FRIENDSHIP" after one has not even thought of them when they are attached.
it's quite sad really and HELL. when people u thot u care just start ignoring u or feeling the distance.


i feel the most important people in our lives before marriage should be FAMILY & FRIENDS.
how much time do we have left for them afer marriage?

marriage is a whole commitment spending with ur special half.
with marriage comes children.
the whole cycle of being able to spend time with friends and family juz stucked there.
of coz, it depends on different people management.

but Looking at singaporeans' lifestyle, the norm is developing.
work work work and all we need, a hse to rest in and time to spend with the other half and maybe, kids.

ok coming back to the point,
I dun think I am demanding or neither do I wish to be judged.
judgemental friends dun go far.
be whatever u think I am because u dunno the facts.
it's juz funny how people try to find reasons to noe why a break-up has happen.
maybe hear it from the real ger - me?

the other point is make time for ur own life and not sticking to someone u thot could be the one.
nobody noes?

the only constant thing in the world is CHANGE.
people change whether u like it or not.

balance ur life to go out with frenz, family, lover


what are ur priorities?
have u ever thought to think are u spending too much time with ur other half?

we r toking abt SPACE here.
and even the TRUST.


so embrace the love but dun forget the friends who are in one corner of the world waiting for ur sms, calls or msn emails to call them out

the motive in life. staying busy? that's not it

Sunday, February 05, 2006

Lynette is like a MAD house recently!


lagging behind lectures and tutorials
been sleeping like a P.I.G (more recently)
been running late for almost every occasion
rush for projects
helping in the hse becoz my dearest maid went for a 3 weeks vacation back home (AWWW! no maid!)
cheryl is flying off to china on 6 feb for her GIP(global immersion programme?where u work and study there for abt 6 mths)... crycry :(
people pissing me off!
clubbing (recently for wat?)
balancing between love and friends
NTU mosquitoes are really vicious
moving to single room... weee
kenneth's naggings... lalala (ok im really thankful at least he NAGS)
interview for minor in entrepreneurship


I am like excited when chosen for the interview. yeah
but becoz chillin' out with cheryl and daniel the previous nite in indo chine forbidden city, i woke up at 9.45! the interview is from 9am - 12pm

gosh...however, i guess it went well? hope can get it...
becoz I can do this minor during the vacation total of 15 AUS(I need 20AUS requirement)

while waiting, i was reading FORTUNE mag about the top 50 companies in the world.
AS usual, wal-mart rank 1st then microsoft and fed-ex

Then I came upon an article about:
Why are companies at the top league while some are not?

Super inspiring! *enlightened*

what is your goal in life? usually 9 out of 10, people know what to do but people lost their focus and control in life and let it sidetrack along the way.

the most successful companies or be it people are those who strategise, implement and execute them out. so true.

thinking is NOT enough apparently. MORE is needed.

how many of us can survive all the way to the top? the top players communicated well their goals and take pride in their people to show them where they wanna head towards. goals become their goals.

ahhh........ so its not about a good strategy!

well, this applies to life as well..

set a goal and work it out!


cheers to all
