i don't understand. i fail to see what can drive such behavior. i do not see how such evil can exist.


why? i do not see how any sort of behavior can warrant a "i think u should just die. you know why? cus nobody cares."

that's appalling, unacceptable, revolting and the list goes on. what happened to respect? to care for humanity? care begins from home, from a person as an individual. if one lacks the ability to spare a thought for the fellow human beings around him, 1, 2, 3 10, 20.... packets of blood will not redeem him. he will still be as he is- heartless and insensitive. allow me to be frank.

let me first compose myself.

human nature can take on so many shocking turns. 18 years of my life on the face of Earth, i've seen many different types of ppl. i once thought everybody was lyk my friends- nice understanding and accomodating. i went up to secondary, then i know that tact is a gift. but that was alryt, a few hard slashings, and i've become reasonably immuned. i must say, it even made me a better person. at 16, i thought mindless insensitivity was a heaven forbidding sin. then i arrived in jc. i realise i had all along been living in my lala land of a paraduise. i saw reality. or rather, reality dawned on me, without my consent. i met people who were sinners in the old context; they were nice to see. i was then introduced to malice- an entirely foreign concept.

i started by dismissing it all. i had gullibly thought and believed such evil would not exist. i had been kind as to think the best of everybody; to think that at 18, ppl were mature enough not to engage in mindless bullying. yes, i say bullying. i overestimated the goood of humanity, and underestimated the powers of the evils of human nature. i'm increasingly disillusioned.

i stone and ponder, why does such malice exist? had the agressors suffered some grave injustice such that thy nd to release it on some subject? no. more often thn not, i obeserved, that's never the case. had the victims committed some grave crime? sucky attitude hardly warrants a disregard for the value of your life. no. does this all sound way too feeble to you? it does to me. i came to a conclusion, people don't need a reason to be evil. it's a matter of choice. thy're evil, cus thy're evil.

shocking i think, but thr's hardly anything i can do about it as i cannot remove the seed of evilness withing thm... it exasperates me. i hate being helpless. hate to see ppl who matter to me be hurt in such a way. angry that such evil even exists. just urgh!

I think it's time to start afresh, right up from ground zero. Funny to attempt a rebirth of character at a quarter of a century, I know. (okay, i confess i struggled between whether I'm a quarter of a decade or quarter of a century old). But well, some things have to be done! To quote my favouritest female singer-songwriter; my (sort-of) life inspiration; "to give yourself a new life, you have to give the other one away". I am famous for holding on too tightly to the past. Perhaps it's time to let good, let go. Seek forgiveness, and also forgive myself for old wrongdoings, whether or not I truly deserve it (who's to judge?). Life simply must not be spent wallowing in the past. (For we are not warthogs, hakuna matata) So-  Hello world, again.  (: sk p/s: #(parenthesesabuse)

“I've gained more from serving my patients than I have given to them; it's a privilege to be a healthcare professional. Indeed, it's in giving that we receive, and in losing ourselves that we find ourselves” - Dr Phillip Yap Well said Dr Yap. 4 years of bond is quickly drawing to an end. As I sit here rather aimlessly, waiting for time to pass in preparation for my night shift tomorrow, the late hours has allowed me some quiet time for reflections. When was the last time I did this?! (It's appalling!) Looking back on the past 4 years, I wondered which lessons and emotions stood out the most. Is it the resentment from the occasional unhappy episodes at office, or the 委屈 from the random angry patient? I suppose I really did have my fair share of those. But above everything else, I still relish the fulfillment that I get from knowing that I have made a difference to a patient today (teehee, look at that confidence XD). I said this same thing to a couple of close friends ...

A much needed, incoherent rant.

When things get sensationalised, i wonder, do we think before we react? I keep trying to be absolutely objective in making a decision. Then i realise, honestly, it's quite the impossible thing to do. You see, this thing called selective perception and selective attention is something that people fall to, almost everytime. And this is not an academic smoke piece. Considering things properly, people believe what they wish to believe, and once that thought catches on i guess pretty much anything can be twisted to suit your desired perception- whatever it is you want. Perhaps it's a natural cognitive process. It is just that much easier to have a stand and fit evidences to it, than to view evidences before making a stand. I tried to exercise objectivity, and think from both sides, their individual merits and demerits, before making a stand. i tried to compare to politics in other countries, look back deep into our own history and others', look at real trends before i make a dec...
