today i went for my heartsaver’s course and i learnt a lot today. learn how to administrate CPR and how to save a person from choking both theoratically and practically. its someting useful and valuable i feel tat i can use in life. after tat had a reallie LONG informal meeting. a four hours meeting. felt so restless…. hahaha… anyway, i was tinking of ppl these days… juz re-evaluating some thinking of mine… i realised de society these days are very racist, selfish, rude, kiasu and evrything. as i was flipping thru some webbies and reading some articles, i was tinking, most people these days just think of themselves.
like for instance, as i boarded de bus today with nixon, there was no double seats that were available, juz two half occupied double seats. hope u guys knoe wat i mean, i sat beside a guy and nixon wanted to sit directly infront of me. BUT the guy let his bag rest on de empty seat. sheesh. nixon eased his butt on a de edge of de seat. i noticed from behind, tat de guy was AWAKE and gave a side glance at nixon and rolled his guys and pretend to sleep… HE DIDNT EVEN BOTHER TO PICK UP HIS BAGS!
WTF! i was damn pissed when i saw his gestures… said to nixon LOUDLY, “some ppl so damn inconsiderate, leave their bags there. as if his bag paid de bus fee oso”. de guy beside me gave me a look. sheesh. right after my lil speech, a couple happened to drop off and vacated a double seat so nixon and i shifted there. i gave a glanced behind and guess wat? i saw de guy i was sitting with whispering to de guy who lay his bag. sheesh. they were frens! why cant they like share a double seat? so rude.
another example: sometimes u are in an mrt and it just seems to be the day tat its so packed. an elderly lady walks in, u would expect someone givving a seat to her rite? NO! evryone juz conveniently just seems to fall asleep…. wow. interesting. some were reading newspapers and smsing but when de lady comes, they ‘fall asleep immediately’ and thankfully, a nice lady gave up her seats. as the elderly lady sits down, juz as conveniently those ppl fall asleep, those ppl start to become active again. sheesh.
racial aspects. u knoe how i feel. i still feel stroingly. yes ppl may have freedom of speech but there is a difference to saying things truthfully and just being rude. i dun expect someone who feels so strongly tat way to change her perception. well, i dun change mine too. well, it does make me wonder abt society these days.
well… someting for tot. my dear fren G wrote tis in her recent blog entry “so often we tend to put a magnifying glass on our miseries and complaints..(i’m not excluded), that we fail to look at the simple pleasures in life. Some complaints are so trivial, but often blown outta proportion. Arguments, fights and even fall-outs that are the results of such silly things are sooooo undesirable. I’m not hoping for world peace..but i hope people who do read this, do a reflection. “. tat is someting i would wish to highlight…
wat she blogged is someting betta, much betta. it makes ppl think. isnt it true? everytime we complain abt someting like say abt how ugly a part of our body is, like the legs, we forget abt how lucky we are to be born with legs. i was watching this show on tv, i tink some medical stuff and i saw a young girl who lost her leg…. i felt so sad for her and proud for her tat she still lived life as usual and tot back about how many times all of us complain abt our legs or any parts of our body and immediately felt ashamed. here we are complaining abt our bodies/abilities when other ppl in de world are w/o them….
it does makes u tink doesnt it. well, lets all play a part in being a better person… and next time i complain im fat, remind me how lucky i am to have a functioning stomach…
juz felt like saying god bless though i dun believe in ‘him’…
dun make war, make love….
