Of Pride and Arrogance

Hahaha, my goodness, came back this morning to be greeted by Roger sleeping on the floor and David in my room. Oi, my sheets are new, I just got them changed! (But I really don't mind Roger sleeping on the floor as i haven't vacuum for ages, maybe his shirt and boxers can help make my job a little easier =P)

David enjoying himself on my bed >.<
Thats Roger. Notice the PS2 my housemate just got!!

A few days back, I learn to lay down my pride and apologize for my mistakes. I'm a proud person, saying sorry is not something i do on an everyday basis. Arrogance is what I strike people as, and I can't say that they are that far off. Bruise my pride, and I'll hurt you more than you hurt me. But yes, I've realised that pride gets in the way of a lot of good things.


I used to think that a man without pride is worthless as its the only thing that someone would not be able to take away from a person, and thus one has to fight to keep it from being step on. But I guess I when overboard and push my ego into the "SuperEgo" side. Balance is the key, if an apology can make things right, why not just lay your pride down and apologize? I guess people in general struggle with pride and arrogance, especially guys. So yeah, to all those people out there who finds apologizing hard, the next time you think about not apologizing, why not think about what would happen AFTER you apologize.


No doubt I did not feel my best when I apologize but it felt pretty good later on ( : So trust me, be the bigger man and apologize!

Roar!! I found new joy in cooking! Better get to it!

It's been AWHILE

Hey friends, peeps, and fans =P Jian's back.
Its been more than a month since i blog, been pretty busy with exams so that's my excuse!! Now that exams are over, and my student exchange is more or less settled, I can start blogging again!

Rants:
I so hate it when my exams are so stretch. 4 papers in 18 days. I started on the FIRST day and ended on the LAST day. What a perfect timetable. Benny finished in the first week itself and my housemate finished by the 2nd week. So yeah, they had fun taunting me and rubbing it in my face =P HATE YOU GUYS!

I was just reminiscing about a year back when I first came to Australia. It was during winter too, I was sitting at the park waiting for Zed to get his arse down from his apartment. Wearing a pair of flip-flops, a pair of denim shorts, and a hoodie freezing my balls off. Then while waiting this dude walk up to me to talk to me.

"Hey brother you good? Need some change?"
"Oh yeah i am good, NO NO, i don't need your coins."
*Stares at my flip-flops and shorts*
"You sure mate, you mean your not a homeless----"
"No No, I'm just waiting for someone."
*Pointed to Seasons 14 floor* And I think he thought i was pointing to the sky.
"Oh yes mate, HE WILL COME, God hear us all, cheers mate and don't lose the faith"
=_=''

Hahaha, that was comical, being mistaken for a homeless guy.

We have been through a lot haven't we. Yeah no doubt it sucks the life force and energy out of us and I am not saying my energy is limitless, but I believe we would get through whatever that comes along. Believe it or not, you're the first and last thing on my mind. (: I believe your worth going through everything that I've been through and more that is yet to come. Yes, I'm that crazy over you (:
I know you like my stupid antics =P
