Sometimes i wish
I knew the thoughts
Of people that are in my life
It counts for less
Of having to guess
And misunderstandings and strife
If i knew what was going
On in the minds
Of the people i see through the day
Life would be
A much easier task
Guess life wasn't meant to be this way
On a separate note, today's National Day. Happy Birthday Singapore, though i must admit i'm not exactly patriotic. I like the parades and the performances and the fireworks (though the fireworks here pale in comparision to what i've seen in America), but i seriously think that the national day songs could be less publicised - i can't even take a bus ride without hearing Taufik and RuiEn sing that song, and as a result it's gotten rather old quite fast. Evidently i'm also not a supporter of National Service the way that the government puts it, with all their advertisements on the Army and Navy and Air Force, but i will say this about the SAF - i really think it helps people to grow up. Of course there are people who don't grow up, but the environment definitely provides you with the opportunity - then again, every environment provides you with the opportunity to grow up, it's just whether you want to use it or now.
But as usual, National Day is going to be spent at home. No plans for today, just lazing around. As if i haven't done enough of that already during the hols - was hoping to get the momentum going a bit. Had a few thoughts of doing something out-of-tradition (i.e. not lazing around), but nope.
Hmm - notice that this blog has transformed from a source of writings to a list of ramblings. Oh well - it's my blog after all.
I think too much. Make it stop.
