Weird Thoughts

So, while i was reading my PS notes on equity and the need for redistribution in society, the reason given was that people are born with unequal endowments i.e People who are born rich or smarter vs those who are less fortunate. Hence, the former will presumably have more and better life opportunities than the latter, resulting in widening income/wealth gap and a need for government intervention to decrease this gap.

But when i was reading it, the first thought that came to my mind about unequal endowments was LOOKS and then, i wondered if the highly acclaimed cosmetic surgery can be considered the '21st Century Redistribution Tool'. HAHAHA The only difference is that it's not government intervention but rather individual choice.OMG, i think i'm weird. Such weird thoughts that have absolutely no link to what i was studying. I blame it on my recent obsession with South Korean guys, it's the era of pretty boys with guy-liners! Some of them are so freaking pretty [More than girls] that it's illegal! I can't believe that these type of guys even exist in real life. o.0

OMG, look at this guy!! It's a guy but he's soooooo freaking pretty that it takes my breath away each time i look at him. GAH. And yes, he's my recent obsession -- Leader of B1A4, Jinyoung.

When a guy looks this good even in a daily activity such as blow-drying hair, you know he's hot/pretty.

*Fangirl Mood*

HAHAHA I'm never been much of a fangirl but recently, it's been too much for me to handle!

This is illegal, it can't be possible that such a perfect human being exists on Earth. *Living in denial*

But, with the kpop scene getting younger and younger, i'm considered much to be a Noona [older sister] fan nowadays.

Luckily for me though, JinYoung is older than me!! :D *OPPA~~~* LOL!

Urgh, this is getting out of hand. I need to curb my fangirl-ing heart.

BUT BUT!! Jinyoung is so freaking pretty!

You know what, i think the reason why singlehood is rising is partly due to all these South Korean pretty boy exports! Why WHY can't such guys exist in the place i live in?

I'm getting out of point. Ending here.

Learning to Cycle

I learnt to cycle when i was 9 years old, when my dad bought me my first bicycle.

Like all beginners, i was terrified - of trying to balance on the bike, trying to ‘peddle’, trying to take that first step.

My dad held on to the back of the bike and followed me around for a few rounds on the pavement. After the initial rounds, my dad suddenly suggested letting me try to cycle all by myself, without him holding on to the back of the bike. I screamed a firm ‘NO!’. I refused to let him out of my sight - I was terrified of falling, I needed him. Or so i thought.

So i began a new round, with the delusion that he was holding on to the back of my bike. In actual fact, my dad had let go and watched me cycle since the beginning of the round. And surprisingly, i was doing well. That is, until i realised he was no longer with me and i fell hard.

Years later, as i look back now, i realised this special memory of mine taught me an important life story: ‘Your capabilities are only limited by your own perception of what you can or cannot achieve.’ I thought i needed my dad to cycle but actually, i was already capable of doing so. I was only limited by my own perception of my capabilities.

Moral of the story: When you perceive yourself to be able to achieve something, you are already capable of doing so.

Believe in yourself, why don’t you? :D

Recycled this post from Tumblr. HAHAHA I posted it on Tumblr first but i really love this post of mine, so i copied it here too.

It reminds me of this quote we always used to have in morning assemblies back at NJC:

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.”
― Henry Ford

Something along that line. It was recycled countless times during my 2 years at NJC and i thought they actually come up with new quotes every week!

LOL! Ok, gonna go to sch now. TODDLES. :D
