Reflection

My blog is called Rhapsody. So, It is not necessary to write about anything that i dont think or feel about very deeply. I personally think that to write every single thing that happen in our life is useless. Its how we react to whats happening that is really important. sometimes my reaction is just like everybody else's. so its not necessary to record.
Whenever i posted something, i usually want them to be known. I didnt write to show how clever i am, let alone to show how less clever i am. I write in the hope to give benefit. If i write on bad things, i hope that people can avoid it.

These few weeks, I had been very neutral with my life. meaning, life is as ordinary as it can be. because of that, i had a chance to observe others. so this is what i think:

1) Some people can really score in their examinations but it doesnt mean that they are really clever or smart. Cleverness is an original characteristic. Cleverness is not measured by examination results. As for me, I know someone is clever just by observing them and not by looking at their result transcript. These adjectives refer to mental adroitness or to practical ingenuity and skill. What i am trying to convey is that, whenever i look at people who is known to score a lot in their exams I dont always regard them as clever. Good results may only mean that you took a lot of pains in studying, or you are hardworking etc. but it doesnt necessarily mean that you are clever.
Allow me to illustrate:
#1: A who are in her 20s scores in her LLB examinations and masters English language as her second language. But A thinks she lives in Gossip Girl. A = not very clever.
(seriously man, other people's life is as much important as yours#2: A who are in her 20s scores in her LLB examinations and masters English language as her second language. But A thinks that life revolve around her. A = not very clever.. get a grip)
#3: A who are in her 20s scores in her LLB examinations and masters English language as her second language. But A thinks she is perfect. A = not very clever.

well i think thats enough. i think #1 quite explains it all. How come English is one of the criteria? Its because people always had a misconception that all English speakers in Malaysia is actually clever.
I dont mind befriending people who are not clever. I just cant quite handle striking immaturity at the age where a person should have done better than what they did.
I think good manners is always one of the sign of cleverness. Recently, one of my best friend was interrupted from having a lunch because somebody just decided to confront her at that very moment. I dont mind if someone died or it is about any misfortune where the matter is urgent. It took half of our lunch time and I was companionless for my lunch. I thought the matter must be serious. But later I found out, it is very mundane issue. it can wait until after lunch. in fact in can never been mentioned at all. I was annoyed. Why should i be affected on this mundane issue and lose my lunch company? I think it is rude and stupid. I just lose my respect to the people concerned. Not that my respect is important to them. which is what i explained above is basically all about. now that i've said it, that is all there is to it.

2) Nowadays guys (meaning a male who are not yet men) can demand. Meaning, they can play around with girls and waste the girls time on them and then they decided to wait for better offers. waiting for better offers is in itself very clever and right thing to do. however, what i want to know is how worthy are you for that better offer? Of course, better offers will come. but that better offers will just have to be satisfied with you. how sad.
What I am saying is, If you want to own a Mitsubishi Lancer, you must work very hard to buy it. then you are the rightful owner. because you wont be able to drive it if you dont pay for it. How can you own a Mitsubishi Lancer if you dont have the MEANS to own it? Of course, you can make loan etc. but if you made a debt you cant pay mitsubishi lancer will leave you.
Perhaps, Proton is the best for you. it still takes you wherever you want to go. but you just dont appreciate it. you decided to wait for mitsubishi lancer and abandon proton. or worse still, you modified proton to LOOK LIKE mitsubishi lancer. at that point it is just plain pathetic. and then you wait and wait for the real mitsubishi lancer but it will never come. you became delusioned and you end up with a proton that look like mitsubishi lancer because you thought that is the real mitsubishi lancer but only when you cant afford to buy another car anymore did you realized that what you own is actually neither proton or mitsubishi lancer.
moral of the story = live according to your means.

  1. Yeah i agree with you. Here in Malaysia people tend to think that those who can speak English fluently (with slang) is clever. Not clever enough actually. Excellent in academic does not guarantee a successful life. I also on the view that manner is important (esp. when looking for a husband haha)
