你在戴面具吗?

今天终于读完亦舒的《画皮》。它并不是《聊斋》故事中的那个画皮故事,但是同样有意思。我打从今年五月就开始读这本书。现在才读完的原因是因为每天只读一两页。确实学了不少,也有些反思。想想现在市面上的商业化公司或机构,好像真的都是跟美化个人有关——珠宝、服装、首饰、减肥中心、整容,甚至汽车。因为在今天这个社会,拥有一辆轿车对自己的身份地位好像也可以说明些什么。整容,对我而言,它是一个很有争议性的话题。不是说有对或错,完全看观点,也看个人需求吧?常听到“世上没有有女人,只有懒女人”这句话。有的女人为了追求漂亮,可以忍痛,在脸上动刀。我自问很怕痛,所以目前为止还没有这个勇气。有些人则说,“外表再美,没有内在美也没有用。”我觉得爱美是人的天性吧。谁不想有个漂亮的外观?有的人心地很好,但也会想要追求美丽。有的人长得美丽,心地也可以很好。反正就是,什么东西太多都不好。Too much of anything can make you sick. 人追求美丽无妨,不要过分追求就好。故事结尾出现一个全新的人物,而我也有一个新的领悟。其实长得五官端正就应该感到满足,至少我们还有一双能看得眼睛,能嗅的鼻子,能讲话的嘴巴和能听的两只耳朵。有些人不幸遇到意外,失去的不仅是容貌,也是眼睛、鼻子、耳朵或嘴巴的操作能力。丧失这些的人还能够活下来,这叫坚强。他们是美的,他们的美来自对生命的执著。我觉得我不丑,但我可以更美。

I think I could feel for the main character in the story when her very good friend fell for the man she liked. 她说:“人与人之间还是保持一段距离好”. Maybe it's true we cannot rush into certain things. Thing is, she gave up and found someone better.

Went with YY for his interview and from the questions he told me about, I feel that it's imperative that I start reading newspapers on a more regular basis and not just NewPaper or straitstimes.com. Gosh.

I'll never understand.

Some people, you try to break them before you build them. Some people, you are only remembered by them when they need your help. Some people, you spend time trying to change them only to realise you were never someone who could impact their lives. Some people, they hurt you so much but you know, they are just not worth it. So, don't bother. ASPIRE 2010 was a screwed yet another learning experience for me this time. I'd really like to thank my fellow peers for going through shit with me. And thank goodness that I believe in miracles. You never know what happens until the last minute, really. I never felt so shagged, and devastated about people.

All the small things.

So blonde Neo came with a packet of sushi and my chrysanthemum tea and Mr. Bean's pancakes. We continued to gorge ourselves with cones (actually just 2) of Cornetto which I bought to reward myself after a long time of not having eaten ice cream. We studied and also watched The Family Court. I really feel sad for AhWU that everyones hates his Leshan role but I guess he's right that actors and actresses like to see audiences' reactions towards their acting. What a breakthrough for him! Had supper with Shirl and Eh Chris! at somewhere nearby. Continued to study with Angie and we (or rather I) had a bad night because she was coughing quite badly. Blonde Neo I tell you, you better start drinking bottles of water when you get home today. NO MORE CHIPS!!! I'm watching you.... So anyway, in the morning we had Mac breakfast and Angie FINALLY invited me to her house wheeeeeeeee. Happening hor? Meeting the climates (Auntie Rainbow, Sunshine boy and Rain) later to celebrate mid-aut...
