with globalisation comes cross culutural exchanges and hence increasing influence of the western culture on our lives. but when is it "too much"? why do people aim at moulding themselves into something that they're not, so as to slot themselves into the overrated western society? like no doubt each society is unique, but who is to decide which is superior over the other? yes many have ideals that the grass is greener on the other side, but what if the obsession and over-eagerness of one to transverse just renders him/her to appear absolutely shallow and retarded? will you willing to give up your self respect, your culture and most importantly yourself?

but then again, maybe you've lost yourself from the point of inception.

this week is finally heading to a close, and i really have to salute to such an eventful week.
there's the char's tuesday, the catching up with monique, eve, the althea night, the ohmygawd monkey issue and the daily ramblings in class. oh so satisfying.
and now there's so much to talk about, to ponder over as the endless waves keep crashing on you. but it's alright. i'll deal. slowly but surely.. hmm..

well, to start things off, random memory creeped out on awhile ago when i went downstairs. on the dinning table laid a cutesy foreign mooncake box which apparently originated from the yummy sichuan restaurant that is super ex but good. you may wonder what's so special about a mooncake box especially when i've been stuffing my face with mooncake for almost an entire month. okay back to the topic.. i vaguely remember sitting at a coffeebean along the stretch of clarkquay when a rather then- significant person told me that she'd bring me back there. hmm..to cut things short.. DAMMIT stop haunting me!

haha, alrights.

then this thought or rather talk about acting on what you believe in.

this, i have to admit is not as simple as it may sound.

there are often consequential effects that follow after such decisons but i ultimately still believe in staying true even though it may mean contradicting what you have adhered to for your entire life. (well of course not anything that is against the law!)

hmm.. to the one-eyed spy/stalker (i'm sure you know i'm referring to you!)
i wonder what is behind those walls you've confined your mind to. but i guess there's no short cut to understanding such situations. just time, and hopefully time will shed light on those grey areas.

OH NETTE! there's just so much to say. just don't tell me " i told you so" anymore.
