i just felt like posting something..
i am gonna watch homesick but i am not going for forbidden city.

my first job was when i was 16+. it was a crappy man.. i sold stuff at east coast park. i hated that. but it was still kinda fun sometimes. i met a little kid there and he calls me da jie and he called me a week ago. strange. but its fine i guess. my second job was tuition. he was a crap student but we managed to get As together so i got a big fat bonus at the end of it all. his mother was really generous. i will always remember the day i started my tuition job. it was my 17th birthday. and after the lesson, i walked to my old place trying to catch a glimpse of how it looked. and from that day on, i never asked my mother for pocket money. and i am paying off my polytechnic school fee now. i am writing because i know what its like to work for something and how it irks me that there are people who takes things/people for granted. my poly friends worked harder than i did. i always had alternative if i wanted to, just ask mummy for money la. but others had no choice. some worked to pay rent, others worked so that they could get married, there were people who worked to pay school fees and feed their family while studying. studying in TP with those friends put a lot of things into perspective for me. it helped me to appreciate what grace meant and what it is to receive kindness. it taught me not to takes things/people for granted.

so dear people, when someone is kind to you, be thankful.
and when someone is unkind to you, that is kinda like life, y'know, so dont complain.
and dont go around expecting things from others when you dont want to give anything in the first place. i am not saying kindness is an exchange, but do to others what you want others to do unto you.
theres alternative to asking people to get things done, ie. do it yourself - you can search the directory, google it, call 100 to ask...
its okay to go all out to get things done for people, and what people do that for you, be thankful. and dont go round expecting for people to do that for you all the time.

independence, initative, manners are conspicuously missing from young people today.


ranting and ranting and it will go on and on till it gets through some skull..


bleh.
