At 25, I learnt:


- To treasure my parents more

- The meaning of true love;

- That I can learn anything if I put my mind to it;

- To look at life's Big Picture and relax a little more

Dear Wendy ,

I used to like reading your blog. I found you courageous in your own beliefs and admired your enthusiasm for life. But now all I read are hate and anger-filled posts about the world, and about the people who actually take the time to stop by and read your blog. Some of them may be your fans and friends, others just fence-sitters, and still others who only stop by just to take a perverse pleasure in your angst.

Do you realise what you have become? Your posts are becoming increasingly rife with unnecessary obscenities. It is not that we should not speak obscenities, for if one is truly angry we may find a need to use an obscenity to express the depth of our emotions. But at the rate you are going with it, it seems as if it's more like one of your many accessories to add that "coolness" factor to your already celebrated being.

Being a celebrity (if we can call it that, since you are quite popular in the blog-scene and out of it) is no excuse for you to do what you want - to the extent of not having a care for what effect your behaviour has on others.
It is one thing to be outspoken, different and exciting; it is another to be brash and thrust yourself in society's face without considering how your words can impact others.

I am thankful that the world does not consist of only Wendys, because if that were to happen, it would be a very cold place - because Wendy does not care what other people think. She only cares what SHE thinks.

Quote from chonghan79:

"Do we believe/join/participate in a religion because we choose to emulate a respectable person and hopefully become one ourselves?

Or

Do we join a religion because we are awed by the raw power of an entity to the extend where we worship the power but not the virtue of what the power is suppose to represent?"

I hate it, the consumerist culture is getting worse here! Everywhere it's just shops, malls, and an endless sea of mass-produced goods. You bring in something, it gets sold at the next damn store and three stores down after that, and very soon every goddamned district in the city carries the same thing! Bags, shoes, clothes, the same style the same designs. I used to like those pearly, shiny, pseudo-leather handbags they're selling now, but there's so much of them, I'm actually sick of the look and texture, and the SMELL, especially when the material is the cheap sort.

We're all just wallowing in our self-made hole of endless material consumption.

Do you know what they're teaching in schools now? Entrepreneurship!

Madness, isn't it? What happened to the days of natural learning, of learning as you go along? Teaching young ones to start a business? What is this? When they should be enjoying their youth and learning about the world at large, not thinking about making money! Sure it's good to be wise about finances, but I can see where this road will lead....an even more consumerist economy...someday Singapore is going to burn if we don't start thinking of other attractions apart from this.

I'm just having a bad day. *sigh*

Job change! Two interviews in the last three days. Phew. Yesterday evening's interview gave me some hope; still, I'll be a very lucky girl if they picked me, since compared to other designers, who have all the background training and experience, I'm virtually...green.

Well, I can't afford to keep mulling over it, and worrying about it all of last night gave me a headache. Today I shall go to the library after work and borrow some training books in Freehand, and learn the program myself. At least it will give me the basics so I don't look like a clueless idiot if some kind-hearted soul decides to employ me.
