surprise, surprise!

It's quite shocking to realise one fine day, that the life you have been living all along is quite just, well, your life. All along, I thought it was nothing to go out for lunch with your friends without telling your parents, to be able to watch youtube without a care, to debate if I should eat ice cream because of the calories and not the price. When all the while, life could be so different for the people around you.

It's evident, especially in the way people treat each other. Sometimes you can't be sure if someone's just behaving the way he would normally, because there just isn't a normal everyone can stand by.

It came as a surprise to me to realise that it's actually only a minority of Singaporeans who can speak English, because all along, about every Singaporean whose path I have crossed could speak English.

Perhaps that's why some people say I'm naive, because the world I'm living in is simply what I think the world is like, and what I choose to think about the people around me.

All the while, when I have been agonising over my workload and my sleeping time, children two streets down the road have been wondering when their next meal will be.

I feel so insensitive and self-centred!

ANYWAY, today I have achieved an impressive feat! I have memorised about every single name (including surname and middle name for some, note) in the company! (: Haha it must have taken quite some creativity on their parents' parts. Especially for the English names which have Broken the Convention!

I still can't believe that we're ORDing in 3 weeks, and we'll never be able to nag and chide our manymany part as ever again! Hope they've prepared LOTS OF NICE ORD AND LAST TRAINING PRESENTS FOR US though! :D

Somehow at the end of everything, I always look back and feel as if I hadn't done enough.

Taking my life in my own hands, isn't as trustworthy as I often think it would be.
