true enough. well, if i am not talking when you see me, it can only mean two things; either i am overwhelmed by someone or i am E M O ing.
temper is on the SUPERB extreme. try me if you do not believe in that.
if a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then is an empty desk?

don't you find it
weird when you see elderly folks, handicapped people, pregnant ladies or mothers who are carrying their babies standing on trains or buses?
-i personally find it weird. shouldn't they be offered a seat? it is definitely not considered a privilege for them. i personally feel bad when the above mentioned, do not have a seat when i am comfortably sitting. i will hold it against my conscience, seriously, no joke. i really wonder, how can a person be so selfish so as to see others standing while he/she is comfortably sitting there and be 'blind' to the surroundings?
if you think i am blabbering nonsense so far, you may choose to click on the square which contains a white cross against red background, on the top right hand corner.
alright. some may feel that they paid a good 55cents or above, you can have the privilege to enjoy your bus/train ride to your destination. i would say, it is not wrong. everyone has a right to do something. but the problem lies here, how would you feel? elderly folks have a higher tendency to fall, due to the inertia of the train/bus.
don't you feel guilty when an elderly folk almost fell in front of you and you just sit there and look? in the first place, did you even offer him/her your seat?
don't you feel guilty when a pregnant lady is standing in front of you? you were once in there. won't you hope that someone would offer your mum a seat when she was carrying you in her stomach or even carrying you with her hands?
don't you feel guilty if a handicapped person is struggling not to fall, while you, as a fully-abled person, do something else except caring for the person?
it is just for their safety. you must be thinking, "i care for their safety, who cares about mine?" i would think of it if i am reading this. will you break/fracture your bones if you fall? will you suffer more complications if you do not have a seat? come on. there are better meaningful things to do other than making your money worth by getting a seat and not giving it up to someone who needs it much more than you do.
i wonder if this problem only exists in singapore, or it is just plain human nature to care for themselves to such an extent.
ren bu wei ji, tian zhu di mie. -> understandable if people only care for themselves. people nowadays are enclosing themselves to their comfort zone, only they themself can enter. they refuse others' entries. this over-protective manner is one of the reasons why there are more strangers in the world tha close friends."there are no such thing as strangers. they are friends you have not met." -> i saw this somewhere beside their counter in
khatib mac. i feel, as human beings grow up, they have a tendency to protect themselves against strangers- fear of plots, motives, scheming and even
destruction like terrorists. people will prefer to handle with children- no plots, no motives, no scheming against each other. children are the purest people in the world. they are born, knowing nothing. but as they slowly entered this world, they will start to know what is love, care, concern, responsibility etc. at the same time, they also learn what is hate, how scheme against each other. now can you understand why people will have the protective zone around them?
