post-exam activities

Exams had been over for 3 weeks. Good news was that a lot of activities were planned in my head while I was preparing for exams.

All good thing don’t last, I suppose, I had difficulties in gathering friends out for movies and gathering due to a lot of reasons as most of them are either attached (thus not free), or preparing for exams and school assignments, or otherwise just not free.
I found myself ended in home after work and I had been only exercising to kill of the boredom. Trying to look at the good side of this is that I am able to spend more time with my parents, as I helped them with laundry, chit-chatting and even slept with them in the same room.

So bored I was that, I start to find myself more into politics and economics. As such, first time in my life, I bought a political-related book titled “Men In White, The Untold Story of Singapore’s Ruling Political Party. Foreword by the editor-in-chief was that, they covered story from all political figures – from the ruling to the opposition. Since everyone is so busy with their own things, I think I had to forsake asking them out, I probably will spend my time on reading this book. I had given the thoughts of getting another book after finished reading the earlier-mentioned book, titled “Mahathir Maverick”.

AHHHHH. My post-exam life is equally boring. :(

looks that kill

from the conversation recently with a friend, and after reading and reflecting on his story, i think, in most ways, the scenario we experienced are somehow related. It seemed like looks and physical appearances are still very much relevant and highly-sought even between relatives.

To summarise, his story is that he felt "neglected" in some way as compared to his brother who, in his view, physically much better than him and relatives tend to chat up (more) with him.

Probably, in some way, i agree to certain extend, but i think it's not very much so serious as how he imagined it to be (that is unless his relatives are very materalistic kind). Putting myself into his shoe, my guess is that at the very first human instinct, one looks for nicest thing, etc.. Having to say that, if he is to be more proactive in certain areas, i think he will patch up the shortcomings.

Later on in the conversation, he added on saying that the communication was done “more” between him and theirs relatives compared with the relatives and him.

On a personal level, though I mentioned earlier on that I experienced something like him, but I feel that my scenario isn’t that serious as him, so I can’t comment or suggest anything.

On the whole, I still agree people between people look for the nicest thing in life and probably such thing exist subconsciously even in relatives relationship and as such may lead to a willingness in communication between parties, like my friend’s case then.
