The reality u nv knew...

Just watched the movie, Perth: The geylang massacre... I must say its quite a sad movie, wif some funny parts in btw... Eh, ok larz, the language is not really pleasant, though funny... If ur name is called Chow, then pls go n watch... Else u'll really bang ur head on e wall fer not watching... But think it really shows some of the parts of society tt we've nv been in touched wif... There are many facets of life, each of us having been exposed to only a few parts, those parts tt we experienced b4... But do we really know bt the other end of society? The parts tt have eluded u since young... I dare not say i know, but the sad fact is, i dun even know how much i dunno... But 1 thing's fer sure, everyone has a dream, n we're all striving towards tt dream... Though deep inside ur mind, u do know tt the dream may be almost impossible for u...
The story is about a simple man, wishing only to retire in Perth, (which is coincidentally, my dream place fer my retirement too... Living in a lil farm, watching my grandchildren running over the big lawn... Wif a couple of cows n sheep... Enjoying the luscious pastures of green... Not e jungles in army time horz... ok back to the main topic) Shallnt go on n spoil everything...

But well, sometimes, think there is really a need for dreams, something to look forward to in this life of ours, something to give us the strength to move to the next stage... Like me, b4 i came back to sg, i envisioned all sorts of things tt i'll do n enjoy... Though err, in e end, as expected, i acomplished nothing more than slacking my time away... But i enjoy it, so who cares! Haha...

The world is so full of misunderstandings, everyone looking only from his own pt of view... If we could try to take a step back, n look from another person's point of view, we could then see that certain incomprehendible stuff could be understooded finally... What we think is best for others may not be best for them, but so long we have this in our heart, i'm sure tt this kind thought justifies the result... which although, may not be desirable... But well, we shdnt of cos impose our will upon others too, in fact, many ppl are much more capable of looking after themselves than requiring our help... We may however, be merely "used" by them... Ok, i admit its a lil strong, but well, there're really ppl out there who are lydat... At least i've seen some...

Here's a lil argument from a lil boi who spends too much time thinking...
All this cant be avoided, the world is selfish by nature... We are all selfish by nature, doing stuff only for our own good... Even when we're helping others, it is only to make ourselves feel good... Even ppl who sacrifice do it becos of themselves... Y i say tt? Well, say suicide bombers in a war... U may say tt they die fer their country, but actually, they die for themselves... They value their families more than themselves, n they take utmost responsibility for wad happens to their families... So in order to fulfil this role, they had to go to war... Else even if they din die, they'd be tortured by the thought of their cowardice, n so, they'd be better off dead, feeling satisfied when they died...

Ok, u may think e whole para above is crap, i dun blame u... After all, who wanna feel bad bt their actions, n think tt they are actually all selfish by nature? (there's a really nice subtle catch there, which links to e previous para if u can c it... ) Lol..
