Went to church for Christmas service. Haven been there for quite some time. But its Christmas, u're supposed to spend it in church. Somehow all that was on my mind was brought up by Pastor Khong. Great seeing everybody again. Took a loooong train ride back home. Came out of Braddell Mrt to find that it was raining damn heavily. Sat down for a drink and read the papers while waiting for the rain to subside a little.
U guys should try watching Grey's Anatomy. Its really a good show. Meaningful. Like my blog. Some words from the show.
"We all draw lines with the people around us and hoping people do not cross them, thinking we need boundaries between ourselves and the rest of the world. But at some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep people out, they fence you in. Life is messy, that's how we're made. U can waste your life drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. If u're willing to take the chance, the view from the other side is spectacular." I think that means don't be afraid to do anything? If u're always afraid of offending people, afraid of consquences, u'll nv get anything done. If u're so afraid of approaching that special someone cos u're afraid of rejection, how will he/she even know you exist. If u're so afraid of consquences, u'll nv experience the thrill of life, and that thrill comes from not knowing what happens next. Its not easy living life. It takes guts, experience, mental strength. Pretty much like sky diving at nite. You look out the plane and its all dark, but you take that leap of faith, enjoy the thrill of your heart going into your throat and just pray that you had packed your parachute correctly. However, unlike sky diving, you don't die when things go wrong. Things don't always go your way but if you're willing to press on to the end, i'm pretty sure everything will work out just fine.
'
Boundaries don't keep people out, they fence you in.' Its up to you to open the door and let people into your life. Everybody out there will be having fun, with or without you. Its up to you whether you wanna join in the fun. So to all those who're not that sociable, try opening up a bit. Its not easy at the start, there's that fear of rejection, that fear of not meeting everybody expectations, but you are who you are and true frens will never turn you away. Of cos for those who know, this message is to my sis and maybe Tzelai? There's more to the world than just yourselves. Take a step outside. Talk to strangers on the street. You'll find people aren't always the cold hard shell they appear to be. Be sincere when interacting with others and i'm very sure they'll be very more than happy to talk to you. With all the politics in workplaces nowadays, its really hard to tell when you might be backstabbed. But lies and deceit will unveil themselves sooner or later and when that happens, you'll find yourself alone. So i say, be sincere. Be sincere to your friends, to your competition. You'll find life so much less stressful without trying to remember what lies you told last week and trying to follow up with it.
