Tuesday, July 06, 2004 After reading friends' blogs, I seriously wonder what's wrong with me. Everyone is so HAPPENING. By contrast my life never breaks out of the routine. Then again, on introspection, there are many things out of the ordinary in my life as well. Like the blackout that was on everybody's lips last week -- I was caught in that as well, and my greatest lament was forgetting to chronicle the once-in-a-lifetime event using my digital camera. Or the pair of promoters who yesterday kindly gave me tips on how to treat my acne after I declined to buy the product they were promoting. Or the article G showed me yesterday on racial/country stereotypes in Singapore. Or the hyper-enthusiastic new puppy the unit bought, who was dragging his sumo-sized handler all over the unit today. Every day many note-worthy events occur in everyone's life, but many people, in their haste to get through life or in their indifference, fail to capture these events in their mind. However these are all memories that will bring a smile to people's faces, that can potentially tide one over hard times. Pity that some people, including myself at times, choose to pass time in a bullet train, and miss out on all that's good around them. Keep a diary, write in it often, note down the pleasant things you see each day around you, the funny, the heart-warming, the cute and the interesting. And whenever you feel down, take out that diary and read it from beginning to end. You're guaranteed to be smiling before you put it down.

Hey, now…it takes all kinds to make up the world. For that matter, it takes all kinds just to make up on community. And ultimately that is what this is…a community.
You should consider getting a lap top and making a post in Microsoft Word, when you think about it. Then just copy and paste your post to your blog. I think what you have to say is just as cool as some of what other blogs say. Don’t worry your head about it. Just try to remember to stop and smell the roses. And when the mood strikes, write about it. *smiles*
it isn't just events that people miss in their tunnel vision... if they looked around more carefully, they'll see all sorts of interesting plants and animals, and little pockets of wilderness, except that they don't look for it because they think there's very little nature in s'pore, and simply because other people tell them so. :)
