slay your own damned dragon

what's the point in knowing so much, seeing so much, feeling so much, if you're never going to do anything about it? it's less about what you know, than what you do with it.

i can't do this. i don't know what to do. how can i choose? don't you see, i'm not you, i was never you. you can't expect brilliance from me, because some rocks are really just rocks, not diamonds in the rough. the trouble is, it actually matters to me.

by the way, i abhore the idea of elitists condescending to mix with 'unfortunates'. just because we're in a better school doesn't mean we're in any way better than them. who put you on the pedestal to condescend to others? just because you are better at studying than them, because your family circumstances are more 'fortunate'. all you're doing is highlighting the difference between the haves and have-nots. if i were one of those approached to join, i would definitely write a scathing reply and set up a spoof of the programme to mock the elitist jc students. it annoys me on a personal level because i hate the way smart people think they have the prerogative to be so condescending towards us lesser beings. so maybe you can mug, but would you put down your textbook for five minutes to persuade your friend not to jump off a building?

hy came up with a singaporean version of brokeback mountain that i think is utterly hilarious, simply because it's so, well, singaporean. think ns men, mount faber (which will be called faber mountain), hougang hdb flats, an air-con repair man and a white-collar professional, the daughter of a high-ranking official, an sbs bus.. yupp.

i love the way my ipod allows me to shut people out at will. especially on the bus. thank goodness i will never have to endure giggly ah-lians ever again.

i'm going to slay my own dragon, i am, i am. somehow, someday, i've got to fight it down and slay it because there's no such thing as a knight in shining armor.
