Keep quiet

Sometimes, the best way to avoid argument is to keep quiet because those who do not have the entire picture will just not get what you are trying to say. A good intention will become ill. A genuine frustration will become over reaction. Ok, shut up and keep going.

Betrayed

When the one person whom you think trusts you no matter what shows sign of distrust, you feel betrayed.

When Police Wore Shorts Then

Nowadays, I see more often policemen and women going to the hawker to get their meals fix, than them patrolling.

Today, another morning, another encounter. Police car at Clementi Ave 2 hawker centre, one of the police remained in the vehicle, engine running, aircon on.

What a life.

War of Words

Recipient of hurtful words will find it hard to forget the penetrating strike that presses into the mind. It might not be a calculated effort by the issuer, but what one spouted out spontaneously if often more true of their opinion than a carefully crafted speech.

Because Things are Fixed, I See Free Space.

Some people like their life to be ever changing because they enjoy the thrill that uncertainty brings. I do not.

I prefer my life to follow a schedule. This is because I value freedom. Rather conflicting sentences?

I do not like my planned dental visit disrupted by a queue cutting instruction, I do not like my scheduled running activity get cancelled by a queue cutting instruction, I do not like the dinner my mother prepared painstakingly go to waste, just because of a last minute queue cutting instruction.

It is because I arranged things and ensure that I do not move them, that I can see the free space.

Everything about the Familee

I hate the actors at the top of my country pyramid. I know the dead person has done much for the country; after a formal national show, enough is enough. We do not need to name everything after him right?

Oh, I do remember someone in India naming his indian son after this 'great' man.

boss management is an art, I'm not the artist

When I listen to people narrating their problem with work, I listen and I genuinely run the entire problem through my mind and think of the surrounding factors associated with the problem.

But ... ...

disobedient childhood thinking

it suddenly dawned on me an anecdote on am incident that illustrated how obedient I was during my childhood days.

There was a certain company that came to my primary school one day to market three products. All three are some sort of siren to signal distress when one is in danger. Robbery and so on. 

My young brain was so bent on getting one of those that now thinking back, I can only hate myself for being so irrational back then. I also despise that company who came to my school to try to sell those products to what could have been poor students. One of them cost $18, which by standards then, is considered very expensive. Today, I can get ge. A bicycle siren for a fraction of that price.
