Amelia's Detachment Disease.
I find that sometimes, I tend to detach myself from people. For one moment, I can be joking, laughing and making funny faces. And the next, I am aloof, detached and indifferent. I feel that I do not have to put on a front in front of everyone all the time. I feel that I can be who I want to be depending on how I am feeling. If I feel the need to detach, I just want to. It is healthy for me.

Alanis
Before Amy Winehouse, and before Duffy.
There was Alanis Morissette.
She was and still is the most original singer. And my heroine.
As I listen her album this morning, I smile.
She is great.
Shoes.
amelia.
This is indeed a very curious topic. Where I live, people generally remove their shoes as a form of respect. It is such a practiced culture that people do it almost automatically; they, or I for one, do not normally scrutinise why we actually do it.
I never really thought about it until I started watching American/Western shows that people generally do not take off their shoes when...
I have to keep Reminding myself that..........
EMPTY BARRELS MAKE THE MOST NOISE.
I should not be bothered by how this one person keeps trying to blow her own horn. SO LOUD and SO IRRITATING.
YEAH YEAH YOU ARE NO.1
YEAH YEAH YOU ARE EVERYONE’S FIRST CHOICE
YEAH YEAH YOU ARE THE MOST SOCIABLE
FUCK.
JUST SHUT UP AND GET A LIFE, BITCH!
TSK.
Being at ease with yourself
“I thought you were nice.”
I think this is what people will expect of you when you are agreeable, friendly and basically, well, nice. Nice people have no tempers. Nice people do not have emotions. Nice people will appease others. Nice people will be the first to not participate in a fight even when they feel it’s enough and it’s getting on their nerves. Nice people will...

I wish I had something interesting to say.
I don’t.
So there.
Another wasted post.
Closure
I have been thinking about the past alot lately. It made me realise how having a closure to something that happened can really help a person close certain chapters in his/her life. This would enable and empower the person to move on with his/her life. I am now wondering why I did not bother to do that when I was younger. Could it be my couldn’t care less attitude? Could it be because I am...

Titled - Dissembled Discrimination
What do I see?
Different people, different sizes,
different shapes, different makes
—
I’ve never explained, I’ve never reasoned
But through my heart I see my reaction
Feeling the tension and the agitation

Why do I judge from the surface?
My eyes can’t see beyond that...

Wow…
and damn.. why did I forget to bring my camera?!?!?!
had to rely on my camera phone.. so pardon the blurry shots.. :P
nostalgic!
There used to be a time, when taking neoprints (photo stickers/photo cards) seemed to be an absolute must. Japan brought the craze to this little island and it is still widely used today.
As a teen growing up in the 90s and the early millenium, I have had my share of taking such pictures.
Yesterday, my best girl friend and I… decided that we should have some fun.
Imagine, Us, 24 years of...
Being myself.
The first week had been a blast. I mean, I got a job which I really wanted and I made some new friends. I wonder, what’s not to love about my current situation? I was initially bogged down by like, you know, having to answer to people’s questions about why I left my previous job. It seems to me they were like doubting me or something. Then again, I might be thinking too much. And then,...
great to be back.
It’s great that things have finally gotten back to normal.
I’ve never felt so emancipated ever!

What I learnt a few days ago in 2008
Conversations with my granny have been enlightening. I begin to realise that what seems to be the most obvious thing… something which you knew all along would not have any impact on you, until it really hits you. As I start the new year, I want to recap the 3 biggest lessons I’ve learnt, through my experiences, in 2008:
1) All humans are born free but some are MORE free than others.
