I don't like how books enslave me. I don't like how I feel captured by books and find myself thinking like the main character, so much so that I can feel every emotion from the book and even predict the actions of the person herself.
And ... I just completed two books within a span of 30 hours? met up with 3 different groups of friends. Surviving with less than 10hours of sleep for both nights while I usually need 8 per night. 

My thoughts ain't coherent. 
Especially when I'm typing this at 3am.. 
Which would make this my third night staying up later than 2am, something my body and my complexion clearly isn't accustomed to. 

But I do have some thoughts I want to "pen" down. 
Can't afford to go In depth due to my fatigue, but sufficient enough to give me a peace of mind as I lay my head tonight.

Sometimes it's scary how much stories can affect me. How much I am deeply in love with history, accounts, interviews, analysation. 
I remember my best moment in Europe.. It wasn't branded bags. Or catching a tourmate stealing glances heh. Neither was it going overseas with my family. Particularly cause I don't think I was as close to them as I am right now. 

It was the streets of Europe. 
I was in France. Italy. Both seems real similar. Except for Switzerland which was covered with snow.

I saw the streets come alive from people's memories. Almost 50-100 years ago.. horse carriages as cars. Fur coats instead of feathers. Long coats that girls wore. Some until their shin.
They walked past, smiling, purchasing, waving, treating. 
I was spellbound as this repeated at every junction. How people walked, behaved. How crimes may have been committed at the very same spot years ago, purely out of desperation. 

I would think my very weakness and perhaps my strength is growing accustomed to something. 
I latch on to things too readily. And as much as it scares me. It helps me too.

Haha okay it's 2am now on the next night cause I fell asleep. I mean I was even surprised I could recount anything with my fatigue. 

Enough of sounding serious hahahahaha
Don't have the feel of seriousness today LOL 

Oh but one thing is interesting. 
This idea of freedom was glorified back in the 20th century. Simply cause there was so little freedom then. So much oppression. Deaths murders purges. Police killing indiscrimately. 
Freedom saved them. 

The problem is... 
Freedom is abused now. 
My own perspective really. I'm pretty sure there are many who disagree. 
From supporters of hackers to supporters of opposition. 
Especially political division. 
The very idea of freedom led US to it's state today, an utterly equally divided inefficient government who threaten each other using the country itself. I can't say I know absolutely everything about the situation between Obama and Boehner or even the previous government shutdowns that occurred on a much smaller scale. But I did read up on it... Being the strange person I am. Read up about actions taken, both perspectives. Both hidden agendas. It was ridiculous really, the lives of the poorer Americans in the hands of political leaders who would do anything to gain more power in the white housee.
Yes the country thrived on freedom decades ago... But that was before they became overconceited. In the past their main objective was to have human rights since it was abused so badly back then. If not in US, then it would be in other countries under an absolute leader. 
But now, there are more people asking for more rights more rights. 
Especially in Singapore. 

What if we measure the consequences of giving too much rights to people vs too little rights given? 
K first I should define what is too much. 
The extra martial dating site Ashley Madison. 
There are people slamming the government for blocking the site. 
I mean with all due respect your idiots. The sites harms your marriage. Your life. And your future.
 If this is defined as an infringe of personal rights, then the government can switch it around and justify that it's their right to protect their people. 
The next thing that I would touch on would be what everyone knows I guess.
I respect their actions to help people. 
The intention and action is kind. 
But what are the consequences of a law that ban websites ? Is it really so bad? Is it enough to justify their attacks?  
Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. 
To me what are the consequences of banning certain sites.?

It's Inconsequential. Blocking sites that are not of significance in our everyday lives. Yes there is some disturbance. Annoyance. Possibly propaganda. 
But the bottom line is that there is no real possible harm to our society aside from a "huge" infringement of personal rights. 

Whereares what are the consequences of lifting this ban? I admit I didn't read up as much about it. All I know that it can spark conflict, discord amongst people. Families. Social cohesion etc etc. 

Why are we fighting for rights that isn't an essential need? Is it really worth fighting for? 
There are thousand of people suffering everyday. Not counting those in developing countries. There are many in Singapore itself. People with barely enough money everyday. Older people just waiting to die. I see them in my school, I see them in shopping centers in streets. All as cleaners serving the younger generation by picking up their litter, cleaning up after them. 
Should we really start a conflict with the legislation about certain rights issue? Shouldn't we focus on those who are struggling to survive? It is our previledge to be able to fight for rights.
Yes thought I know that certain things are done wrongly. And for now ... Arguably there is no action that have crossed the line yet. 
But I guess really hope that nothing goes overboard. 



Haha damn I wanted this post to be lighthearted. 

Hungrryyyyyyyyy

I'm making a dance with Gladys after As
And I'm so excited to do it I can't even hold it in. 
And on Wednesday the very day of freedom I'm going to mbs. 

Sometimes I'm just an idiot. 
Hahaha whining about "loneliness" the previous post and the next day I'm going out with two different cliques within the same day. 
And if that's not enough. I met another friend on the next day. 
Today's my only day of "lack of interaction". Well that is if i disrespectfully disregard my parents presence. My mum is the best woman I have ever seen....
She's super cheerful now too I swear she giggles and laugh more than me. Makes her own jokes, jump around, sing to herself. Sometimes I will sing with her and both of us will laugh together. 
And I really love her ability to listen. 
She so open to everything. She asks for my opinion on certain things. She doesn't directly classify my opinion as directly wrong even when she disagree. She understands that everyone have differing opinions and perspective and she's kind enough to accept that. I feel so much closer to my family now that I'm older. Perhaps it's cause when I was young I couldn't sense their love since it was always written in between the lines. 
But now I see it, everyday. And I'm beyond grateful. 

Hehe and I can't wait to go back to dance. Apparently I need to learn the chorus from some kpop song and teach my friends after chem. 
Excited!!!!! 
I'm making a card for my physics teacher too.!!!! A compiled card so I guess it takes a bit of planning. 

Still wondering what color to dye my hair. 
Oh yeah my complexion is improving steadily. 
I got a feeling it correlates to my happiness. 
But sleeping at 3am for three nights straight isn't doing it a favor I guess~ 

In any case.
I guess I'm still insecure sometimes. 
But I'm happy now.! Affairs of the heart will come when they come. 
Meanwhile I shall surround myself with friends cause they love me too hehe

Goodnight :)
