Reminiscing 2013: China Town, KT

It is my first time going to this part of my country. A place filled with history and culture mixed up all together to form a nice place. Old places are falling apart but surprisingly this part of town is still maintained well and I was fortunate to be able to take a picture.

My friend, Rey, who was a local at this place brought me around town. I chose this photo as a reminder to myself to be moderate and temperate in what I partake. I have gained so much weight due to high intake but low energy usage. Still jovial though.

Anger management

Well, today didn't worked out so well...

It seems that problems come here and there, a long-long time ago I used to be  very fiery and filled with raging anger. Wouldn't write much about what I've already written before but today, I really managed to be a pretty good manager of myself, especially my feelings and self-conduct during times when people just can't cease to shout out loudly (SOL).

With the stress of sudden emergency and the need to rush important procedures, people, especially those who are elderly, tend to release their stress by shouting, giving orders with loud panic-inciting, fast-unclear orders which I preferably feel the urge to shake the senses out of those people.

My section is a very vital section in my place of work, and every now and then whenever there is certain problems especially serious emergency situations, where other sections are involved, my section is to act fast and rectify the problem and this is where the tension arises.

So, with my jovial and carefree mood of the day, I was rushed by one of those veteran uppers, rushed and brushed with panicky shouting. I was quite immune, maybe this is due to the fact that I have experienced almost every kind of scolding and also done too much raging when I was young that I was quite calm.

What I used to fist and curse last time, now I just take it in and dissolve it into nothingness. Some of my peers are quite amazed at my ability to handle that and due to that, as every situation turns out well as I handled it without any serious problems, they call me Mr.Lucky guy.

That seriously made me smiled despite all the tensions around me.

Blaming Culture

I love culture, especially when culture is a taste of art, food, positive healthy way of living which is owned by a certain race or particular place, a place is truly beautiful when it is not only filled with beautiful scenery but also filled with courteous and well mannered people. This makes culture a very wonderful thing to me as it is diverse.

Still during this modern era, a certain type of culture has arisen, which happens to occur almost everywhere, in the household, in a game of soccer, in the workplace and worst even during dates. I have no idea where has this culture stemmed from or who is the originator of the "blaming" culture.

This blaming culture is probably born with as there is always a tinge of selfishness in ourselves. The nature of this culture is letting go when things go haphazard. This form of culture is easy to perform, a mistake is done, be it obvious or not and simply just pointing a finger to someone or something to blame. That is blaming culture for you'll never point the tip of your gun to yourself.

This is an obvious act of selfishness and inconsideration. A culture shock and filled with deceit and hurt. A culture which you and I will hate, still it lingers most in our country the most. I felt it almost everywhere, can't do much but keep my silence when fingers are pointed to me. I'll never point back, just take the responsibilities sometimes not of my own.

Here's a simple illustration not meant to offend,

"When Americans fart, they say "EXCUSE ME", When Britains fart, they say "PARDON ME", When Singaporeans fart, they say "FORGIVE ME", When our people fart, they say "NOT ME!!! NOT ME!!!" and started pointing fingers and blame."

Peace, No War!!!
