ang gong

Was at Coffee Bean having tea with my sisters, nieces and mum when an uncle came up to our table selling keychains. He was heavily tattooed all the way from the neck down. We initially didn't want to buy (as usual to all touting) but he went on to ask for help as he was released from prison and he couldn't find other employment, so he had a pass (which he showed to us) from the government which allows him to sell those keychains. In the end my mum bought one and he was very grateful saying god bless you and all that.

I would have bought another if I had the cash with me. Simply because there are just so many things in life that you are helpless about, and if there's a chance for you to make a little difference, no matter how minor, in other's, you would take it. I think it's...sad? I mean, I have no idea what crimes he or the many others committed that sent them to jail, I have no idea whether they are truly repentent or not, but still. You came out of prison at an age past your prime, you have a criminal record, you practically have 'danger' branded all over you, and yet right at this moment you may have really wanted to turn over a new leaf, have a new life, but couldn't. Because you can't get a job. You couldn't even really assimilate back to society. You are judged and stereotyped before people even talk to you.

I mean, I'm not a saint or anything, believing that there's good in all men blahblah, or that I'm free of prejudices and stereotyping. I do get uncomfortable at the sight of all those tattoos, and I'm skeptical about the usefulness of prison. But. Still.

Part of growing up

年纪增长 心境渐渐改变 泪点变得越来越多 感触也渐渐不一样

有些棱角不得不被磨掉  有些坚持不得不放弃

以前懒得解释 现在不得不解释 虽然解释了没用

有时觉得做自己为什么不可以 又没有伤害或妨碍到谁
结果就是不可以

ITE of exams! Partay peopleeeeee

Really went with PY to USS the day after my exams~
Lucky it's off-peak period and we didn't have to queue much for the rides.
The first ride we rode was BSG Human - and realised they added harness to the seats so the scariness of it was halved but still~ Realised how much we missed the thrill after the first ride.
 And we went for the Cylon right after and realised that we had like only 5min buffer time between rides.
Got a bit giddy after that.
We finished all the rides by early afternoon and had time to go for the rides second round.
Then realised we had gotten old because despite our declaration that we gonna stay until the park closes, we were thoroughly spent by 4-5pm and left to get our stomachs filled.
Day of realisations xD

 They added Sesame Street~ Sadly wasn't too excited due to lack of emotional attachment.
On the other hand, I shall wait for da day I can go to the USSs with Harry Potter theme >.<

Just not right now.
