What is life?According to me life meant to be all about the five ‘C’ game; Cash, Condo, Car, Credit and Comfort. I always had this idea that a man who achieves all of this in his lifetime has lived life to his fullest and made probably the most out of it. My perspective varied enormously after these few days of events god created for me. I agree cash, condo, car, credit and comfort are a few of the luxuries everyone would like to have, but is that all I want? I can confidently say, NO.I want a life where I am valued for who I am rather than from what I own. A life with the five ‘C’ game well played is good indeed. But I want to achieve far more satisfactory in my life.
I want to plant a tree and name it after me. Than I would be contented that I have provided care and concern on another living thing apart from humans and trust that I have fulfilled my job as a human on earth. This tree will be a part of my legacy. Through this tree I would have gained the joy of giving life and would have connected myself with nature and its beauty.
I want to donate and help to change at least a single person’s life on earth. To make it better and colourful. I would then have done my part as a fellow human being. I presume I would get rid of the guiltiness I carry upon myself. I would then see the importance of being who I am. To be thankful for what I have and to seek apology for the sins I have committed.
I want to start a school; perhaps even a preschool. In one way or another I would like to teach a hungry man to fish rather than give him a fish to eat for the day. Education is important in this era. From what I see it to be, it will be for centuries to come. Thus, I would like to be a person who creates an opportunity to learn and grow. By starting a school, I would be satisfied in completing my purpose to be who I am. Recognition comes as dressing in the ice cream of life with this school. I want to be who I am. And I want to be proud of it.
I want to travel and sail to outrageous parts of the world. To see both man-made and natural wonders. To understand and feel the beauty of life. To smell the freshness of the earth. To sense the vibration of nature to man. To love its beauty and to create a whole new meaning for enjoying life.
Finally I want to create a name for myself, not only with wealth but also to be known as the person who has lived life the way he wanted and has done it well. I will create this name for myself. I will stand out from the other artists in the play, for I see myself to be; the star in god’s production.
Who am I?I thought of myself to be strong and vibrant. Now I see myself to be a whole lot more than just that. To be honest, I am lazy. Lazy to move out of my comfort zone and push myself to the extremes. But slowly I am mulling myself and I am doing it! Proud on that I should say.
I care too much. I end up caring too much about something or someone and end up spoiling everything. Perhaps I just don’t know where to stop. But why should I? Love is infinite, and so is care! If you want me, my over-caring, irritating, interfering and tight grasp comes together with me. But of course that does not mean I am selfish and possessive. I know how to share.
I am truthful. I am truthful to myself and everyone else. Sometimes this leads me and my dramatic life to all sorts of hurdles but it is worth the fight. I like being straight forward. I personally enjoy passing truthful and sarcastic remarks right at someone’s face. I am not a sadist and I am only being mean to be nice. If you should know it than, YOU SHOULD KNOW IT. No arguments in that. It is all for the greater good.
I am a confused child. There are times where I tend to ponder too much and deprive myself of positive thoughts. I need to get a grasp over myself and control myself from being so fickle and hasty. That goes for my expenses as well.
I am much more than what I have mentioned. For now these are the new ‘attributes’ I see in myself. Good or bad, like it or not; this is ME.
What is love?Love according to me is a feeling deep down in my heart. A plunging feeling when you think about someone. A chilling sensation. A dark and exiting flight of emotions. Love is indefinable. Love is an aspect of relationships. In fact relationship has many different aspects to it. They come together to fill this jigsaw and to make a relationship complete. Love is the most important factor. Appreciation is usually confused with love itself. To give time and attention is definitely not love. To want time, attention and focus from someone is definitely not love. I beg to differ that these are components of selfish and unsecure demands often seen in extensive crushes. To give or want attention is never defined as love from my perspective. To give or want attention is like sex itself; a person doesn’t really need it yet his desires for lust pushes him. Is sex important to show love? Definitely not, because one understands the love from another without it. Similarly one should understand love from a person without attention.
These aphrodisiacs they call love, is mere obsessions over someone. Witty yet deadly obsessions. In love and relationship, there should be no form of conditions. A person should be free to be who they are. Free to do what they want. Free to speak their mind. Free to be loved. If being in love causes a person to appreciate someone immensely that it consumes their every thought, than where does the originality of the person goes to? If being in love requires a person to be filled with someone else. To feel happy for someone else, to think about someone else and to be filled with the thoughts of someone else. When is it that you can be yourself? Those who portray love to be all about another person, are putting themselves in a cage seemingly named love.
According to me, it is not wrong to feel happier around someone else other than your loved one. It does not mean that if you love someone, you should be in your highest spirits when you are with them. Face the fact, a person cannot be everything in another person’s life. Nobody is everything to someone, and they never will be. If you presume someone seems to be your everything, slap yourself get back to reality before you lose it. When you are loved, you are the most important person in a another person’s life. You may not be the most enjoyable or appreciated person, but certainly important. If you are not appreciated or you are not being shown love in return then maybe it is not love yet. Appreciation and importance is crucial, but that does not mean love itself is appreciation and importance alone. Unconditional or conditional love. When there is love, there is magic. Have faith in this magic. Always remember love is never meant to be the bitterness of life. It may be bitter for a short period but if it is prolonged; you got the wrong sweet. Don’t be afraid to do what you need to do. Try to find love as it is. Try to feel the magic. Love as it is, is a beautiful pain.
To *blank*... I hope you understand what I am trying to say. I will try talking to her and see where this is really going. Till than always remember love is not always among couples. Family and friends are there with love too. Both love towards family, friends and couples is very similar. Only lust does the difference. Don’t be afraid to show love to others. Don’t channel everything towards one direction. If you lose it, then you lose it all. Stay strong, enjoy yourself. Always look at everything positively. If you need a hug or a shoulder to cry, you know what to do. I don’t know if this might help but, you are very much appreciated and loved by me my friend. Keep happy thoughts.
The EventHappy birthday Khalis, your balls turned 18! Ha-ha. What was proposed to be a chilling birthday celebration at Sentosa-Cove turned out to be a exhilarating night at Duxton Road ‘The Arena’. I met new people and learned new stuff. These new ‘friends’ I made are friends of Khalis and they had the most stupidest idea on celebrating their friend’s birthday with a day to his ‘O’ level papers. The birthday boy did not think for himself too. All I could say was ‘DUMB’. If those were his friends, I cannot wait to see his enemies.
At first I was raging with discontentment towards Amin for getting me involved with them and for having such contacts. It all seemed ‘cheap’ for all of this to happen. Soon after continuous apologies and explanation from Amin, I decided that I was wrong about him. I could have dropped everything and walked away. But It was Khalis birthday and I knew if I did walk away Amin would not. I rather stay and suffer just to ensure the safety of my two friends rather than bringing myself to safety first.
Upon entering Duxton road I was greeted with some of the disgusting sights I hope not to see again. Bar-hostess practically selling themselves at the door of a club. I was disgusted and disturbed. Women are known to hold such dignity and are valued to be god themselves. These women abolish the whole reputation. After much bumming around, we went into a ‘pub’ called ‘The Arena’. The smell was awkwardly familiar and the atmosphere was dull. I seated myself in a far corner to avoid the ‘bimbos’ and helped myself to some mixed nuts placed on the table. Among the many guys whom came in with me, this creature being an insult to women came right up to me and made herself comfortable on my laps. She rubbed left and right, everywhere she can trying to excite me. I felt so disgusted with her and myself for being there. I agree as a guy, there was a short spike of excitement in me. But it did not last for more than a minute when I began realising I was in true love. I am in such love that the creature sitting on me forced me to cry inside for my love. For me to not want anything to do with the hostess on top of me. After around 15 minutes of trying, she left to fish for another customer. Sorry to all the guys out there, I know this is weird for a guy to reject such an opportunity. But I am in love, I can’t help it. If you think the hostess would have been a turn-on for you, please check if you are really in love. For me it was a ultimate turn-off.
