Had a really great time with tanneh smoot aditi pudi daniel ong ann liang today, doing up the lit display on level 3. We're really wacked out. (:

And I will say once and for all I don't think ong's a noObie dancer (: He's a nice dancing partner. I think I've been kind of mean to him, but I mean this, so.


And I just want to add that no one should mess with my friends. Really. If there's anything about me, it's that you shouldn't mess with friends because it's mean and I don't like it. You may think who cares or she's crazy or whatever. But yeah. I like to think that I take good care of my friends, because we all need to stand up for people at some point.

The secret in life is that everyone must sew it for himself.

So says Kierkegaard.

It's how we make do with the things we've got, with the things we're given. It's a constant struggle between being yourself, and being the you you really want to be. And sometimes some of us don't know where to start looking for ourselves.

I am constantly amazed how many often think it's all about them. I've made the exact mistake, and maybe I'm still making it. But the one thing I'm sure about is I don't put up performances for people. It's very tiring if you keep pretending to be someone you're not.

Life's not a stage you know. There isn't a curtain call, there isn't anyone in the audience watching you. Why do we pretend.

Personally I think I can tell when I'm watching a performance. I've been in a few (real performances), maybe enough to know an act when I see one.

(This isn't at all important, it's just me thinking.)

It's really a pity how people succumb to a designated role, the role they think they must / should play.
It's a shame how we all can't just be ourselves.
Maybe we're worried that no one will love us if we are who we are.

The most confident people are those who can say: I don't need the world to love me.

You try pleasing everyone, you end up shortchanging yourself.
That is the painful pathetic comedy in your tragic life.

(It must be Madonna messing with my mind. I don't know why I begin this, or how to end it.)

I'm staring at The Picture. It is inspirational. Thanks tanneh.
