Vairous Forks and threads: thoughts
School will be starting soon... Guess I would not have the kind of luxury to always keep posting up here. Though I really enjoy blogging.. This private/public space for nonsense which no one really reads but it still exist nonetheless.
It is strange to travel and look at the place through the same eyes.. It is a strange kind of dislocation. Not just in time/space, the time differnce and the change of scenery is one thing, but the way of thinking is different here.. It really just amazes me people of similar genetic makeup, being placed in various corners of the Globe can turn out so differently.. [ There was this case of a pair of twins seperated at birth, but yet they still had similar destinties...but that's besides the point] Call it up-bringing, society's moulding.. Whatever. I'm beginning to really appreciate alot of things back in Singapore. For one thing, here, there is alot of ignorance regarding terrorism and Islam. I'm constantly shocked by the kind of crazy things people say on air. And the scary thing is that most people agree. And who can really blame them, whenever the issue of Islam comes up it is always tagged along with the issue of terrorism. The only contact they really have with ISlam is via nespaper (most pple here anyway). Moreover, these people here LIVED the 9/11. So how can i possibly see through their eyes? But it really shocks me and my sis. That despite the talk of HUMAN RIGHTS, there are many blatant insults/wrong conclusions pple have regarding the issue. POssibly this is because my sis and i can only see through our own eyes.
PLayed too much vidoe games these days.. RPG games are addictive..
I wonder when will I get back home. Really miss my bed and Ban mian...
I really appreciate shopping malls in SIngapore (the kind of concentrated area where you have only to walk a fw steps to get everything you need) HEre. You drive for 1/2 hour to get from one place to another. Sometimes, small is a blessing.
I miss seeing things from a high. I always feel so grounded here.. most residences have only up to 3 or 4 storeys in SF..(not talkgin about the big apple here)
