Phone charger spoilt yesterday, prolly due to me mistreating it.. Many thanks to my daddy who replaced it for me. :)

Dressed up for an interview i wasn't sure if i should go.. decided not to, but it's weird if i stay home dressed up, so i went walking around parkway..

Was at the bus-stop when i saw this malay family (i'm not trying to be racist, it just happened to be an apt description) made up of a father, two boys and the youngest being a girl. The 2 boys were leaning against a fence and one of them kicked his slippers across to the other side of the fence. Upon seeing this, the youngest girl, sucking a milk bottle, ran around the fence to pick up the slippers... so cute.. hah.. When she returned, she leaned against the fence and her slippers went across the fence.. then one of the boys ran around the fence to pick up her slippers.. lol.. i'll pay them 5 dollars for 15 mins.. just kicking slippers and running around fences..

Went church office for shepherding. On my way there, i saw a caucasian digging his nose (i'm really not trying to be racist...).

Watched a movie on Channel 5 just now. 'Wolfgirl' It's about this girl born with hair all over her. Her mum had no choice but to leave her in the hands of a circus lest she be killed by the townsmen. The circus is made up of 'weird' ppl, social rejects with ugly features or unusual abilities. So the girl grew up in the circus as a wolfgirl. She has to act like a wolf and perform shows every night. People shunned her when she walked along streets, and dogs bark at her when they see her. And she hated it. She's just like any other girl who wants to look pretty.. normal, at least. Then she met a boy who has a scientist mum, testing out a medicine that can remove body hair. So, she started to take the drug. Hair started to fall off.. But the drug has an side-effect.. it'll make the patient violent, liking the taste of blood. So, at the end of the movie, all the hair on her body fell off, and she looked 'normal', but she behaved like a wolf, living in the wild and killing people.. (note the irony involved)

About beauty and being 'normal'.. i was thinking about this issue this afternoon. It so happened that i got pimples on my forehead resembling the Orion's belt.. And i'm personally very disgusted by them. So i started thinking about the importance and benefits of looking attractive. It was then that it dawned upon me that if i, being a girl, esp., am accepted and well-liked by people only because i look good, then it's really pathetic. Because outward appearances are inborn, genetic, and independent of our personality, character and who we really are. To be appreciated solely based on a trait that is endowed upon us by laws of nature, that is pathetic.
