没有大舅的日子:第1096天

Be Yourself...

That's it. Be what do you are. Not what other person wanted you to be.

Everyone is unique in some sense. This uniqueness made us to outshine another person. This uniqueness separates us from other person. This uniqueness made us special.
However, we tend to lost our uniqueness when we wanted to please another person so badly. Just because you wanted to join it the crowd, that doesn't mean you must be like those people in the crowd.
I never thought of pleasing someone ever. Not even once.
I had this 'attitude problem' (should I phrase it this way...?). Some people used to said I'm a 'cold' person. I won't deny this fact. I am 'cold' sometimes. Not in the emotional phrase or whatsoever. Just plain 'cold'.
I'm not a good person either. I did bad things in my life. That's also another part of me. Namely 'Mr. Hyde'.
I can be a calm and subjective person. OK. I trained myself to be like that. Reasons for that, I don't want to be  the person that view an issue from only their own perspective. That's just too self-centred.
I can be a crazy person. I did ridiculous things in my life. I laughed like a madman sometimes. I did stupid pranks. I (always) made lame jokes. In some case I considered myself to be pathetic.

The above facts were my characteristics, that made up what I am now, this moment!
I would never want to change any of the above! What am I if I changed my character? A better person? I don't think so.

A lecturer told me few weeks ago this thing. "Kit Yen, we cannot please everyone...". She was absolutely right!  Whatever we had done, we will face criticism from our actions. There will always be some parties that oppose our actions. If we try to pleased them, then another party rises to oppose you. The cycle continues...

To end this, what is important is to be yourself, live your live, think the way you think. Don't let any person to gain control of your life...

没有大舅的日子:第931天

Impostors...

Here I want to express what I think about impostor.
They're just being plain wannabes. They're 'nobody' wanted to be 'somebody'.

I think you better off as a nobody! No point you try to be someone you're not. You're using that person's name to make you famous. You're just 'borrowing'. Your fame won't last, maximum 3 minutes you have.

Do something so you'll get known, recognise. Don't be a COPYCAT!
Don't hacked into someone's account and do silly things!
Don't be stupid. Be wise.

If some idiot trying to be me, posting on my accounts, you'll never be me. You won't be able to list out my favourite phrases or impersonate my style of writing... I don't do short form except for few words. Even it's informal, I'll do it formally. No SMS languages!

没有大舅的日子:第14天(第2篇)

What I have to add was: just secs ago, I just remember that my dad promise me a trip to Australia!!!
Ha, I don't really buy his words, but just take, no offence to me!
Wanna know something? Last month, my aunt jokingly said that the trip to Australia this year would be cancel. As I'm a bad narrator, it's better for me to just write out the conversation between us;

Aunt: Hai, see what happened in Taiwan when we're there?! All became desperate job-seekers. Even a low-class job like holding an ad-board had everyone fighting for it. Don't go Australia la this year! Bankrupt!!!

Teh (cousin): Hah?! I'd told all my friends! What I'm going to tell them? They'd asked me to go look for them when I'm in Australia....

Ming-na: What you told your classmate? I told mine, too. But it's nothing for them. Wah! You're in big trouble, you know?!

Teh Sr.: Huh??? Go la, see if I can apply for a holiday from my boss....

Teh (younger daughter): Ha, ha, ha!!!


Some of you could not understand the story. Then I'd better tell what's is really happening

My cousins told his friends, means that all of them are 'definately' going to Australia this year, or plan B; to Europe. In simple; they are super-rich! They can go to somewhere in Europe for the winter and later to Down Under for the summer! What kind of children are they?

I'd told my friends too. There's no reaction from them telling me "Which part of Australia you'll be? Maybe I'll come to look for you". In simple and offensive English; they don't get a chance to go aboard.

A BIIIIGGG difference between my friends and my cousin's:

a) Cou's: there's a classmate of his, a chaffeure drives them to school , mine; bus, drive to school, or parents

b)Cou's: one of his 'admirers' mum drives a Volkswagen, mine: the most expensive one is probably a Honda

PS: There's actually more but.... can't really recall it
