The 21st century narcissism
I just went to a music event organized by none other than the uni housing folks. As i walked in, this guy who was about to perform, just dedicated a song to himself. Guess which song was it? It was surprisingly, James Blunt, “you’re beautiful”. If you know this song, and can recall some parts of the chorus, you might have it looping in your head by the time i finished this sentence. “you’re beautiful, you’re beautiful, its true”
Well, Is it really true?
Its one thing empowering people to take charge of their own lives but its another to take it so literally to a point whereby they think that the world revolves around them.
I just cant help but wonder, In the 21st century, where YOUtube, Imac, Wii, is there a place for others?
the difference 5kg makes
Hi Guys, so i haven been blogging much lately. Reason is i’m busy eating like a pig. Basically just put everything creamy and nice into my mouth, chew and swallow. That simple. Above is a photo of me in 2011 when i was still working in TP after my army days. Gosh, i miss my jawline. I was 60-61 kg then.
Then i came to Australia. Of all places, Adelaide. Not that Adelaide is bad, but because its so forgiving with regards to how you looked, i forgot to watch what i ate and allowed too much indulgences in the name of studying stress.
I ate………
I drank………
When i was back in Singapore, i went for buffets after buffets. Yes, i had this feeling that i have to stuff myself for fear i can’t have my gourmet food when i return to Adelaide.
And here’s the result…….
Me at 65-66kg…. OMG…. back to my poly weight…
WHY HAVE I ALLOWED MYSELF TO BECOME LIKE THAT!!!!
I’m definitely taking some actions.. This cannot go on….
You know sometimes, you get a bad photo and you say its a bad angle. But when you have a streak of bloated looking photos, and if you still think its a bad angle, i think you should reflect and stop being in denial.
Acceptance is the first step. Yes, i’m back to my poly days weight. Don’t think my arms have grown in proportion to my waist. Not forgetting the stress im putting on my body with all those extra fats. My heart, my knees.
IM GOING TO DO SOMETHING! First im going to get a weighing scale on friday when i go to the city! Review me in 2 months!!
i wonder
I wonder how some people can be great with music, be good in more than 2 instruments; do well in sports; excel in studies; manage time with girlfriend; have fun with friends; go to church; be a good son all at the same time.
I wonder how they don’t find time for things and just do things.
I wonder why they are not easily distracted by TV or random social gatherings.
I wonder if that is more of what is portrayed and more of what i perceive and assume than what they actually are.
I can’t help but wonder why all of us have 24 hours a day but some are just simply more awesome than others.
Well, all i can say is that im doing what i can to be the better person i want to be
Hopefully one day i will get that
The marcs i want
ROAD TRIP!
So i think i spent abit too much going to visit my cousins and nieces over the term break and had no more money left for the grampian trip organised by ISSU. So, my group of friends and i decided to go on our own little road trip! Just 2 days and 1 heck of a night in the wilderness outback of flinders ranges.
After 5 and a half hours of driving we finally arrived at flinders ranges. I really like australia’s natural terrains. The plants are so short and you could see really far away just standing at one spot.
The night where we camped, ate camp food and slept in a tent! I swear there were animals lukring around our tentage that night. Paul woke all of us up in the middle of the night around 2am and there were sounds of animal tracking.
This is the very definition of a beautiful morning. Oh i so dont mind waking up to this every morning. Its indescribable man, you just have to be here yourself!
and we took a group photo with our rented car. It was a powerful and reliable car! ****recommended!!
All of us tying our shoe laces to make sure that we dont sprain our ankles yo!!
A group photo during the climb.
I like how this look like we are all going to fall off the edge anytime hahahaah.
And here we are at a very very high peak! AND OMG… 3 has a really good signal and i managed to skype with my friend from
Singapore. Isnt that amazing?!
bad hair day for the rest of the month
So today i decided that my hair was getting out of shape and that i would go to my fav hairdresser in chinatown for a trim. GUESS WHAT. I got the top 3 worst haircuts of my life. LOL.. but im hopefully and would like to think that would be transitional….
So i went to the korean guy and asked for this. He said my hair was too short and i need to be patient and grow it out in 2-3 months time… and he started shaving my hair and i was in shock after i saw the back mirror.
and this is what is left of my hair.
Its suppose to look like this. SUPPOSE to…
Did i just trolled myself? LOL.. it kinda looks like it now.
Thank god i’m in Australia and i dont think people here cared too much about superficial appearance. LOL.. I just hope my patients don’t get a shock when i go for my placements.
