Facebook post by Joyce: "We all weep a little when faced with rejection & hurt. We cling onto those feeling the same way, in hope of comfort and understanding. But eventually, we will realize that no one is really giving good advice and no one is really listening. We all just want to dwell in that dark hole for a little longer because we're terrified of what else lies ahead."

Wow... she nailed it on the head lol, especially about the part where no one is really listening. Told u peeps, most people just can't be bothered; it's never the same. However, there are people who go through life without realizing anything at all, or in some cases choose not to realize. Is ignorance really bliss then?

Goin down for a swimmy. While packin the stuff to bring down... I Saw something familiar... a red/white swimsuit. Wonder when I should return it to her. Or maybe I should keep it till it needs to be used again...? Lol wadever. Off to swim!

-after swimming-
Woo swimming rox! It's so relaxing and I can have the freedom to think and be tired. Wait a min being tired aint fun. Somebody stole my slippers that I bought from NTU, which I placed at my doorstep. STEALING SLIPPERS!?! What's the world coming to man. Yesterday my sis quarreled with neighbour, because she was playing the grand piano in the living room, and the neighbour complained that it was very noisy. Sis didn't give in and said which law states that she cannot play piano. Sigh... stubbornness and ego... what's wrong with my sis man. We should all learn to give in at times, so an amiable atmosphere can be maintained. While all the shouting went on outside, I stayed in my lil cave and enjoyed the peace, quiet, and coziness. No more quarrels for me thanks.

Which leads me and my family to wonder if the neighbour discarded the slippers in a petty attempt to get back at my sis. Ahhhh what sweet(?) revenge... throwing away the slippers of your enemy. Well done. The chinese saying: Yuan yuan xiang bao he shi liao? There's no end to hatred and revenge and whatever. Might as well be humble and give in; and if my sis can compromise a little and play piano at times which won't disturb the neighbour, then an accommodative solution would have been formed. Wooh I feel like a whole layer has been shed off me, and am super refreshed now! (^_^)

Whatever negative emotions experienced in a quarrel only exists within that quarrel, and shouldn't be taken as a whole. Dota brings out the ugly side in people. As another friend corrected me, it brings out the TRUE side of people. That friend even elaborated that anything we're passionate about brings out the true side in us, and I found that sentence to be very meaningful. Food for thought! For me, dota or anything I'm passionate about brings out the meticulous, idealistic side in me, where I get disappointed if things don't go according to what is/could have been the ideal situation. I guess I still have alot to learn as well, and I'll share it with whoever that reads this bloggy!
