the world is changing and no one can deny that.... and life has to change as well. we can't live a life we lived 10 years ago or there's no survival in this world. but for some, changes are something bad. very bad. for some, changes mean losing the original. well, it makes sense but it's not true.
i was brought up in a small town. our mentalities there are not like the big town people. to be short, big town people are more outspoken, broad minded and happy go lucky. but in my place, we dun critisize that openly. something like that. we prefer to stay at home at night. well, to be honest, after eleven, my place is a dead town. nothing except the 24 hours 'nasi kandar' stalls. so we don't go out during night. that's our way of living. that was how i lived my life before moving to KL for my A-levels.
Well, in KL, i changed a lot. I couldn't say to KL people that going out at night is wrong. they would kill me if i say 10pm is kind of late. To not be isolated, to not be conservative, i tried to adapt myself with that kind of life. i adapted quite well and i din have any culture shock. My brother was there to help. There was where i realize we need changes to improve in our lives.
I came to Singapore two years ago. Singapore is a well developed country and people here are more sporting as in they let people to voice their opinions. some of the opinions might not be that positive but it depends on us whether we wanna accept it or not. if we feel that what they say is true, then we follow. if not, we argue or just follow our own way. right? but there's no point to fight over n over again about something which is not gonna do any good to anyone. no point. for an example, what's the use of complaining bout NUS system where no one can come up with a better one. just follow or start planning. y do we wanna catch attention by doing something stupid! no offense but there are people like this.
we need changes to improve. changes are not always for improvement. but it depends on us totally. if we wanna improve, we need to change. and if one were to lose his 'originality', then guess there will be new original of himself. lemme stress. this is not a rapid change or chnages which don't stay long. changes, necessary or important? i think it's both!
