Papa and mama mouse always warned little mouse not to go out of their warm and lovely home, because papa and mama mouse is worried any harm may come to little mouse.
But little mouse did not listen because little mouse is very curious about the outside world. Little mouse has insatiable curiosity to what is going on beyond that hole where papa and mama mouse always enter and exit.
"my dear, one day when you are old enough, we will let you go out alright?" mama mouse said.
"but can you tell me what is it like outside?" asked little mouse.
"That, my dear, is a complicated world, which is something you can't understand even if I tell you now," said mama mouse.
And hence little mouse remains curious about the outside world.

Sometimes I wonder why people become cynical over the years. And I realise it's because life's experiences that shape your thinking. I believe everyone started out innocent, naive, full of hope, and all things are rosy, you know, just being plain positive over everything. Labels: rants, relationships
Once, I was like that too. I was positive almost on everything (except when it comes to academic matters...ha ha), and I often believe in the best of people, that everyone is nice, and no one is purposely being not-nice. Haha.
Even when it comes to love life, I just wondered one day who would be that knight in shining armour coming to sweep me off my feet and then we will get married and live happily ever after.
Of course, I am so absolutely wrong. There's no knight in any kind of armour, and there's no such thing as sweeping me off my two little feet (last I checked, was still rooted to the ground). The only thing that's quite true (or come close to) is that people will get married. Not even that live happily ever after part. Ha ha
That looks kind of bleak isn't it? But that's the way life is I guess. Just like how people say that love can conquer everything, but it doesn't mean literally everything you know. There's why there are songs like "Sometimes, Love Just Ain't Enough". This kind of songs are written precisely because they hit the nail on the head!
I guess it has come to a point that I don't really know what to believe anymore. So much that I doubt everything I come across, or hear, especially when it comes from guys. Heh. I admit that I am a bit sexist here, but then again, I really don't know whether to trust or not, so I trust my own instincts. And since my own instincts causes me to doubt people, so I just go ahead and follow my own instincts then!
It's like once upon a time you believed in love, you believed that love conquers all, yada yada, all that bullshit stuffs, but then one fine day something comes along and proves you totally wrong, so you decided that from now onwards there's no need to revert back to believing in it, because obviously it's gonna be wrong, so why for waste anymore time? Which is why today the bestie told me about some stuffs, like how because you love someone, you accept everything in his life, from himself to his family, to his friends.
Hmm...I don't know whether I have such a big heart. But I know I am practical. So if anything comes along which I don't like it, I will voice it out. I am direct in this case. I will want my partner to do something about it. If he doesn't, I will just feel uncomfortable with it. I may even nag at him. This kind of girls, guys don't like. That's because guys have got their own egos to feed. They don't like it that they have to listen to their girls. Which is fine by me, if he knows what to do and when to draw the line. But if he doesn't I would feel a need to butt in. I cannot stand just watching from the sidelines and not doing anything. I am the kind that need to kaypoh my way through. This is the flaw in my character.
Of course you would expect that being in a relationship, it's best to maintain an open policy. However sometimes we just feel that it is necessary to tell a little white lie so that the other party will not feel so ill at ease. So what? When the white lie is finally made in the open and the other party learns about it, he/she will still feel ill at ease. This time it will be worse, because it also constitutes a mis-trust on each other's part. So how are you going to clear up the mess?
Heard of some case whereby the boy proposed to the girl, and the girl accepted. But after the whole proposal thing, boy realises that girl has a wild side and that even when they were together, the girl often stayed over at other guys' places. Boy feels so uncomfortable and so unable to accept it, girl feels that it's already in the past and she didn't wanted to tell him because she's scared he would worry. So how? Are they going to get married? Or not? When you start a marriage with a bundle of untold truths, it is going to be a long road to be happily and blissfully married.
Alright, so what's with the cynicism? I just feel that I can no longer trust as much as I did in the past. I am feeling kinda surprised by myself, because in the past I was this kind of person who believed in love and all that stuffs. Now, my certain reactions to certain events/scenarios have led me to feel like I don't believe in love (that much), and I don't believe that love can conquer all. And I think when it comes down to me, practicality and being level-headed are the qualities that will actually put me off from believing in love anymore.
You know, once bitten twice shy? For me I might have just sworn off this whole stuff about love. :)

Photos from the Innovationation 2006!! Went there on 14th October, which is like, a long time ago. Heh.
Labels: photos
I finished the drama series at last! And oh my I cried like crazy...probably more than that litre of tears. -_-
Ok this is a true story, and it is inspired by the diary of this girl, who kept a diary for everyday of her life during the time she was diagnosed with the disease till the day she passed away. The diary has been published, and because it was so popular, that's why the TV station made a drama series out of it.
I think I am blogging like less and less. Haha. But it's not because I'm depressed or what la...it's because I have been busy! Quiz, lessons and then the impending exams seems to be all crashing on me at once. Gee. So the lack of updates in my puny blog. Heh.
Anyway! Things have been great! Went to explore around...and the other day we went past the very famous 2 Ridley Park. Haha. I think we could go crazy counting how many [sports] cars were parked just outside the house. Heard that the owner has an underground carpark for even more cars. Hahaha. Anyway, happened to see a WRX and a Porsche coming out of the house, as well as Dr. Tommy Wee himself. Heehee. They have CCTVs around the house lo...I think they know that we were lurking there. Haha.
Met up with the gang again, with the intention to pub...but in the end our numbers were so big that no place wanted us...bleah. But nevermind, it's just great to meet up and chit-chat again lo. :) So it was another go-home-at-2.30am session. Next time then we shall pub successfully, I hope. Heh.
Hmm...I can't remember anymore stuffs. My PC chui-ed again, which is super ridiculous. I really don't know why the computer so weak leh. Wah biang. So it's back to my trusty lappie once again.
I feel like getting a new lappie though!! Haha.
And recently I have been watching One Litre of Tears. Oh my god it's so touching until I cannot tahan. So I have been bawling my eyes out over the show. The girl is so chio lo, and the guy looks like Jerry Yen (one of the F4). And there's a super cute puppy and a super cute little girl. How could I not watch? :)
This drama is based on a real girl, who lived between 1962-1988 lo. How she got diagnosed at 15 with a spinocerebellar disease that slowly causes her to lose control of her body, and how she managed to live her life and touched the others around her.
Haven't finished watching the show, because it makes me sad too much. But her family's love is so touching...which makes me conclude that family love is always unconditional...no matter what happens, your family still loves you.

Haven't been blogging for quite some time, due to my "busy" schedule. Heh. Labels: relationships
Wanted to post the photos from Innovationation, but yet I haven't got round to uploading it.
My week was good, because I bought some new clothes (very cheap!! Thanks to warehouse sales. Haha)
And then I went to the Global Chinese Music Awards, and saw many stars. At a distance no less. :) Finally got to see SHE perform at last. I like them!! Especially Ella, with her crazy antics. Heh.
Hmm...what else is there?
Saturday's Life edition is something which I enjoyed reading. I liked it because they were featuring all the stars' homes and their decor tips. Makes me wonder if I would ever have that chance to finally get my 1-room condo (or to put it in correct terms, studio apartment). So Jean Danker's home gave me a lot of inspiration. She's only 27!! Not to mention highly successful at that. I hope I can be earning enough to pay for a condo like her's by the time I am 27 too. Heehee.
Anyway there was this article on commitment sent in by a reader. It is a reply to a column by a Straits Times' writer, about how he cannot commit. It strikes a chord in me. Anyway the article is about how there are three basic types of personalities in relationship, namely the Secure Lover, the Avoident Lover and the Anxious-ambivalent Lover. Okay this is from the Hazan-Shaver theory of attachment.
Secure Lovers are people who are confortable sharing personal space and letting down their guard to people whom they want to share their lives with.
Avoidant Lovers are people who find it hard to be close to others and hardly allow themselves to depend on others.
Anxious-ambivalent Lovers are people who find their potential lovers not as deeply involved as they are in a relationship, and worry about losing their partners and doubting the strength of their lover's affection.
And so the article goes like how we should discover ourselves what kind of personality we have before we actually fall in love. And that avoidant lovers should never be someone who is anxious-ambivalent.
And if we know ourselves well enough, we would be able to find someone who actually shares the same personality as us and thus be able to go into a relationship.
Hmm...upon reading this I realised that I can relate quite easily to this. Currently I am the anxious-ambivalent lover. I was a secure lover before, and somehow things just changed. And now I find myself evolving into an avoidant lover.
Maybe being an avoidant lover is the best way to avoid getting hurt I suppose. :)
