sometimes something happens that i'll feel helpless about. sometimes lots of things happen that i'll feel helpless about. i don't exactly like the feeling of being helpless. i guess no one really does. of course, it is simple to say, it's not my problem, i don't have to bother. but it does make me wonder, most times, why? then it continues, i'll be grateful for all my blessings. and still i wonder, why do all these things happen to all these people and why am i left unscath? what is it that makes me so lucky? obviously, i am grateful to be this lucky. sometimes i feel overwhelmed by my problems, but when i think back at them, i realise just how trivial they are. maybe it's just human nature to be ego-centric, to put ourselves before others, to think that the world should revolve around us. i'm amazed at those genuinely kind souls out there who actually would put others before themselves. there is much i have to learn.

growing up, i think i've been well protected. overprotected? that's hard to say. but considering i grew up in singapore, i'm almost a typical singaporean. the ignorant and self-absorbed bunch. no offence. i enjoy travelling. experiencing different culture, i'd say. but really, what do i learn? maybe i learnt that here, back home in singapore, people just aren't very friendly. people are also lucky. people take things for granted. and what do i do to change that? nothing. in fact, i become one of them when i get back. so much for learning isn't it? or maybe i just don't realise it, but all this little things i pick up about others' cultures will come in useful sometime. i sure hope so.
