Is the glass half empty of half full?
Thursday, January 17, 2008
I am trying to see things in what both worlds could offer. I guess I’m tired of being a constant optimist. Change is something that I have trouble embracing. My steps are little than baby can make. I am up for others’ opinion which is something that I don’t usually do. Don’t make it hard as it already is. It is a giant leap that I am currently making. I am entering adulthood where people don’t watch cartoon anymore, where lollipops should not be consumed no more, where the stocks market should be taken seriously, where taxes are now bestowed upon you and etc etc. I always have theory that people never change. As far as you to trust an ex-con, you are thrown to your own deep hole where you can’t see the sunshine no more, because.. Deep down inside these ex-cons they will always remember the thrills of having misdemeanor experiences. Nothing could ever erase that. My point, if I ever change into on of the horrible monsters that currently exists in HR, the child that is me is still roaming inside my heart. So much of being a tough gal. and believe me… I am now seeing the glass in many perspectives; inside out and upside down. I am being not only an optimistic but also a girl full of pessimisms. Time to be a bitch and no more angel dopey looking ME.

What’s with apples and oranges?
Tuesday, January 15, 2008
Can you compare oranges and apples? Of course you can. And surely in the end you see a lot of disparities. You will point out that oranges are oranges and apples are apples. It is easy as that. But it is interesting on how widely the phrase is being used.. just generally it has become such a common expression. Next time I am going to ask.. can you compare rambutan and pulasan? Or maybe can you compare a pancake and roti canai? A bit more up to date I guess? Plus we don’t grow oranges and apples here..
