On the way home today, i learnt something new. It occurred to me how it's truely hard to tell a book by it's cover. Some people just put on a facade when they socialise. I wonder why. It's terribly sad to know how some friendships are based on making use of each other.

I shall place more value on all the jie meis from now, hopefully after leaving vj i'll look back and feel a sense of attachment just like from anderson.

Cultivating sociability has the negative effect of people having only shallow relationships. Maybe that's how people may put on a facade when socialising. "We have so many friends that we have no time to personally know them. to go to a deeper level. There is simply no time to cultivate a true friendship because there are so many people demanding one's time and attention. No doubt it means that one is popular and that people want to spend time with one, but what is the purpose? Is it company? True friends are those who are comfortable in silence."

I truely agree with the above. Over socialising may lead to one becoming totally self-absorbed, overlooking what they would have seen in solitude. More often than not, we try very hard to keep up with conversation. Maybe that's how the idea of 7mins of awkward silence came about. Even a moment of silence, we canoot tolerate. Would you consider that as true friends?

Solitude allows us to be free from obligations and demand. Appreciation of solitude does not mean one becomes a loner. Often, people are so caught up with sociability and getting to know the right people, they lose their identity in the process.

I'm so sorry for the GP-like entry. Moving on..

First day of school after official lessons starts tend to be slacker than usual, since we students like to "learn more" about our teachers' wonderful holiday, in an attempt to avoid having to start on tutorials. Mrs Koh kept up to her name of being efficient in marking scripts, while the rest of the subject teachers took their time.

School was fine. Let's talk about the other post exam activities..

Last friday there wasn't tests for us so it's holiday~ Sam and zy came over to play mahjong with my bro who was back from camp. Now he's off to Brunei for training =/ So the house's gonna be pretty empty for a while. After that we went off to meet amanda for k-session at teo heng. And met lots of victorians, like seriously everyone who signed out at 7 were mostly victorians. So it's hot spot besides being cheap. LOL. Coincidently met ting kai and xijing with their friends respectively.

And got to thank yanjie for his party on saturday. Food was fabulous, friends and relatives were friendly and most importantly most of the class turned up. x)
