hate it.
i hate it.just realised i've turned into a typical ungrateful brat who is too used to all good things such that a tiny setback such as not getting my module set me off into an irritating and childish mode such that i don't even know who i am anymore.
it all boils down to this one simple truth.. we are simply too blessed.
reading my friend's blog just set me thinking and reflecting all over again.
sumiko tan said it so aptly in the sunday times... diasasters only serve to remind us of how fortunate and blessed we are only for a short period of time. after a few months, it's back to complaining, whining, complaining, whining, and putting blames on everyone else except ourselves. why are we like that.
not trying to sound ignorant and ampathetic but now, i do believe that the tsunami happened for a reason and i think singaporeans ought to learn an important lesson from this; to never take all good things for granted and to realise how blessed we are no matter what others say of us being just a tiny red dot. it's true, we are but a small dot on the map, insignificant and small, but the fact that we've survived till this date, safe and unscathed from any form of disaster, be it man made or natural, we should really give thanks to God. seriously.
being blessed is when you do nothing to deserve that security and peacefulness that is evidently lacking in so many other parts of this world.
