The randomness of my posts are ridiculous..

.. and yet that is how I choose to write. I think it reflects the messiness that is known as my brain.

As I said in the previous post, it's good to be back. It's nice to be back in a place where I can eat laksa, rojak and char kway teow. I mean, such things are virtually the number one thing Singaporeans say they miss when they go overseas for extended periods of time. Being back also means a week of leave, which I've been enjoying with her - going out, catching movies, food, et cetera. I know some people say I'm quite an ass for always going out with her only and passing on friends but look at it this way - I already have very little time with her, so I'd usually pounce on any chance to be with her.

Anyways, that aside, I saw people enlisting today. It seemed just like yesterday when it was my own enlistment day, but that's just how the mind tricks you. Every memory seems just like a short time ago, when actually quite a long time has passed. Oh well. IMO, the year has been rather eventful. I mean, in terms of my personal life, many big changes have occurred. Many ups, several downs, and through it all I'm just fortunate I've come through rather unscathed. Lucky me.

Cynicism will be the downfall of the modern society. With profit motive and the desire to earn as much money as possible, men have inadvertantly become selfish. This leads to the development of lies and cheating and all things bad. In light of all these, how can one living in today's world not turn cynical? I mean, yes while it is true that there are people who need our help, many others exist to try and take advantage of the kind hearts of others who offer to help those in need. Yes, one can say that hope is all around, but nowadays some people are even taking advantage of that. It's very difficult to trust anyone these days, especially business people. It's a dog eat dog world, and cynicism helps u stay alive.
