Into the past.

Something that i have been looking forward to: that is revamping my whole room. Did some tidying up and spring cleaning today. I have never done a serious tidying up of my room before, so today i actually thrown away lots of stuffs and in the process of sieving through all my belongings, i found some items that happen to be lost years back. Beside that, there are still secondary school maths test paper in my cabinet, which when i look at it, it really brings me back to the time when i am fiddling with coordinate geometry and quadratic. Then there are those little dairies that i kept when i in primary school. When i read the content, it is just too hilarious, i cannot believe i wrote those words. LOL! There are also photos from my primary school all the way to JC time. Lastly, need to decide what to keep and what to dispose off, this is kind of like the hardest part. LOL! I can just stare into open space and think, should i keep this for about 5 mins before continuing. Well, all in all, it is quite a successful one, my room looks neater, but there is a round 2 tomorrow. There are just too much stuffs in my room,

Next, i wanna talk about something which i observed. If we review what happen in the world, there are the 911 incident that concerns with terrorism, then Sichuan quake, Environmental issue, poverty and everyday, there are natural disasters that took away lives daily. All these are big events that surround us, but dun actually affect us much. When we read the news, our reaction will likely to be emotional at first, but later on, this piece of news will just be store at the dark and cold storage compartment in the brain. Next, we will just get on with life with our line of sight limited to what we can see and do or even continue to lament about those small trivial stuff that we happens to see on the street. What i am trying to say is, why are people just too concern about themselves such as earning money, studying or indulging in any entertainment activities. Whenever i hear talks about singaporean argueing over MRT seats, tissue paper, i was thinking, can they please look out beyond the sea, there are people suffering, starving or even dying. If they got the energy to start forum like this, i will suggest they do some voluntary work.

I mean if people want to limit their world to nothing beyond 10 feet from them, it is ok, just that end of the day, they will be ridiculed as myopic, ignorant and apathetic. Which i think is a shame. What i am advocating here is, please be concern about the world, Dont do things just for yourself, try to help people that are suffering. The grades on the result slip is not all there is to it, and so is the money that people are busy accumulating.
