For Wanshi..

Okay..let's see.. You're bubbly. I've always liked that word. It really suits you. You're the kind of person who will never really show that you don't like someone. Your "aura" is always positive. You keep an open mind about everything, even when you don't agree. But from my own experience, you're kind of stubborn too. Hahahha...remember the times when supeng and i would lecture you on how you dress? I'm glad I see improvements... =D At least you wear jeans to Orchard. I know the reason why you don't understand you HAVE to wear jeans to those places is cuz you think.. why would you want to care about how other people sees you. But honestly, do you really not care? Do you really not care if someone sees you and laugh about how you're so sloppy in places where you're not meant to be? Supeng and I uses the argument of respect.

That's just part of it. I know respect doesn't seem logical in this case, but it all comes down to: we don't live alone in this world. Face the harsh fact...reality is cruel at times. You need to be aware of your appearance and behaviour. First impressions are important. People judge and compare all the time. So the solution is... we don't have to be complete hypocrites, but we should at least know some basic "rules" and avoid being at the bottom of the chart. We don't have to look like a plastic doll (surgery and stuff) or buy clothes all the time or wear thick make-up to impress people. That's what I call shallow. But it is all right to make yourself look tidy and nicer. You don't have to have 365 sets of clothes just so that you have different ones to wear every single day of the year, and you don't have to look like you're suffering behind those layers of foundation and powder (kind of reminds me of a geisha actually), and you don't have to compliment people all the time just to make them happy but don't mean it. These are the extremes, but I realise people like these do exist... sadly.

The other extreme is...trying to not be materialistic at all, lead a completely frugal life, shut their ears to other people's advices and say "why should we care about how they think? I'm living my life my own way". Now, I think that when people say that, they're lying to themselves. Really?? You really don't care when people stare at you like you're some kind of freak or an ignorant who just came out of a village, living in the city? I believe that everyone has all sorts of qualities and weaknesses in them... like materialism and hypocricy. We all have them in us. The difference is the intensity. And I think it's completely normal to be them... just out of the scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the least and 10 being the most intense, it's all right to be standing below 5. We're not saints, we're just human. Even if our actions don't show complete materialism and hypocricy, our minds do count. Our minds do sometimes think materialistically and hypocritical. I believe the only human beings in the world that have 0 of both are babies, up to the age of highest 2. When they start wanting toys and crying if they don't get it, that's when they start...

Okay I think I wrote too much. But so far that's what I think about you wanshi. You're mostly positive. The only negative is just that time when you were kind of stubborn when we told you to wear jeans. Hahahha... I think you've changed for the better in that case. So... that's why we still love you right? =D No one's perfect, we'll still love you even if you wear cotton-pyjamas-like shorts to Orchard. We'll just keep nagging at you. Hehehe...
