I love you because of your world-y possessions.
So, the big hoo-ha thing is about Republic Polytechnic and H1N1. My dad and i watch the news yesterday and i was suprised to see that my school is the number two hotspots in Singapore other than that Army camp platoon place thingy (that's if i remember correctly.) The number of persons infected was 10 as of yesterday. Funny thing is, i got a sms from RP on friday that my LOA (Leave of Absence) is suspended and i have to report to school back on the 29th. In the first place, i wasnt officially issued to not come to class and stay at home for e-learning. I think i should drop this matter and not comment further. I read an article on Newpaper about being externally validated and internally validated. I find it intresting because being externally validated have a great deal of linkage with gossip mongers. Yes, my folks- GOSSIP-MONGERS. After reading it, i thought i want to lean towards being more internally validated. As of now, i feel i lie in the centre of two extremes-of which i do not feel so proud of somehow. Being externally validated means that you are affected by what people around you thinks and vice versa. In a sense, you tend to be more inclined to other people's perception/comments and you mould yours just to fit into them. Let me quote myself as an example, I wasn't into dancing back then when i was in secondary school. But, the girls that i spend most of the time with are into it. Thus, i took the plunge and found myself doing pretty well but better in the malay dance aspect rather than modern dance. You see, cultivating something that i wasn't passionate about in the first place to something that i like throughout the years in my secondary school life. Now, without them it has somehow diminished. Internally validated- This part requires that self-confidence i acquire through my experiences. Knowing what my priorities are, what i want and working hard for it. Forget about being recognised for my hard work with the praises and whatnots, knowing that i have put my effort in it is just enough. I do things based on my judgements and instincts and block off all those external influences. Let's look at things at a bigger scale, i think i should use the example that he had use in the article itself. "A man is dating a woman and he thinks she is damn hot & beautiful. But, his friends thinks she is just an average-looking girl. So, if that man is externally validated, he would change his perception to fit that of his friends. Now, his view is shaped and fed by others around him." Whats your say? For me, it's hard. Like what if we are in the corporate world? Goodbye MJ and Farrah. Fyi, i am so jealous of somebody. He got himself a folding kayak. Farid, take me around the sunny little island with that please? Get me the four-thousand and eight hundred dollars kayak and i would instantly fall for you. (: And you know, you dont need to get a license for it anymore. The best part is, i dont need a kayak shed to store my kayak. Just that handy dandy backpack-backpack. Uber cool! Okay, dah.
