... It is okay to compare.

It is okay to compare with someone who is better than you.

It is okay to feel envious.

It is okay to feel inadequate.

It is okay to feel lesser.


But if you are not okay with any of the above, take steps to change it.

Change yourself to be better in that aspect.

Take small steps, if you are daunted by the large gap between you and that person.

It is always easier said than done, but you can do it.


The question is whether you choose to do it.

I was the same as always. My brain was still slow to process questions, and the answers I gave, were not the funny or majority-accepted answers. Exchanges of words that I could have said, still went through my mind, when I was in any group of people whom I don't know.

There was this one time, when a young boy asked a sunflower beside him. "When can Mt. Grendmar stop erupting her negative feelings, and stop killing those positive fairies?" ...... The sunflower answered, "buzzzzzzzzzzzzz." .. Oops, it's just a bee leaving the sunflower. The sunflower just kept silent, and swayed with the wind.

I had two horrible experiences with haircuts recently. The first horrible one "manhandled' my hair, cut it thin, and just maintained a certain hair shape, seemingly with no regards as to how he cut it. The second one, due to a miscommunication, gave a fringe a good shave the instant his shaver touched my hair. In the end, he had to cut my hair in a very short fashion. And I don't know whether it is because of his guilt, that he left the other parts of my hair a bit longer than my front corners. It means, the hair at the back of my head, my sides and my top centre, are a bit longer. He said that this is a kind of "malek" hair cut..... I am not suited for this kind of haircut....... :s

On a different note, I was at Batam for 2 days last week. My friend and I shared the same thinking about what were the most memorable things over there. The top 3 things are, 1) omelette from the International Breakfast Buffet (just because it was the only thing that was piping hot), 2) ramlee-like burgers at a shopping centre, 3) curry puffs from a hawker centre. The only shopping that could only be done there, is at their supermarkets.. :s I even had a slight pickpocket incident that happened to me. There was a slight nudge at my small sling bag at the back, so I slinged it to the front as I thought I was blocking someone from moving forward. This guy walked past me with his hands outstretched and walked further away. As I glanced at my bag, I was taken aback as the zip was halfway across the bag, and i can see my wallet clearly. I was still slightly tramatized for a few hours after that as I had never expected that to happen to me.... Here are some photos to show what I had done over there...

I think they passed me the egg from the display.... :/




They have rice, instead of mashed potatoes and coleslaw as their side dishes.. :s



The ship that got stranded on a low-lying island due to low tides.. it was still there the next day we went back to sg.
