i was ever accused of being fickle, of being easily swayed by others.
the reason was that i like both germany and japan.
those people would have freaked out if they know i like spain, holland etc etc too. and i am not talking about football, actually.
then the other day, hq was saying some people think that you shuldnt be doing double degrees cos it sort of undermine the value of ur degrees, and sort of convey the idea of you not being able to make up ur mind.
today, after soccer, at lunch, this "senior" was telling us that it would be good if we know what we awnt to do in the future. and i asked him, did you know what you were going to do when youwere our age. his answer was no.
there are many ways to look at things. from the 20th floor or the 2nd floor, from the front or from the back. and i remember in sophie's world, there was this thing about life and death being two sides of a coin: u need to know one to appreciate the other. if you are going to die, you will appreciate life better; if you are living, you will wish you are dead, to be free.
but sometimes, i wonder: why do you want to force yourself to choose if you can have everything? pointless, isnt it? just to prove you are decisive, you know what you want? i do think we will change. what you want to do today, you might shun tomorrow. there is just no 100 percent in this world.
some people spend their whole lives in the right place.
some people spend their whole lives searching for the right place.
some will find it in the end;
some never.
but some people spend their whole lives in the wrong place.
i'd rather be the one searching for my entire life than be in the wrong place.
if i am easily swayed by others, i would be listening to hell lot of english songs now lar. idiots. it's true my brother exposed me to jap stuff, but i think i took it to anotehr level. and that is after careful thought. not just blind following. i DO think, ok. i dun like to accept things as they are. wisdom comes from within. think socrates said that. meaning you must discover it yourself, not be spoonfed. you must process it yourself to understand.
and i still believe that if you can have both vanilla and chocolate, you don't have to force yourself to give up one. that's just so dumb. and i dun believe you cant like two very different things.
of course there is always the otehr way of looking at things.
sometimes, it's not that you don't know the otehr side of things. it's just that you keep quiet about it. because you can't really reject it. because deep down, you know it's true too. just that you prefer this side. at the moment.

i was watching aya ueto's ai no tameni when i realised one of her hairstyle in the mv was the hairstyle of this girl i saw at the busstop this morn. this is the 2nd sunday in a row i saw the girl with 2 otehr girls. maybe her sisters or wad. anyway that isnt impt. but i think alot of people are also sporting that hairstyle too. ok, maybe it has been like this all along, but i suddenly realised.
it's jsut one of those things that you know all along, deep down, but you dun realise it. till one day you are reminded.
