ive just been inspired to write an entry but when i come here i find that i have nothing to write about.
i know, starting from today i am going to keep a record of all the things i buy. the amount of money spent everyday. so that i can keep track of my spending and not find myself questioning myself at the end of every month about all the money that seemed to have disappeared. i wouldnt think of myself as a spendthrift but sometimes when it comes to buying stuff, i can be quite irrational. irrationality can be good and im secretly the sort of person who likes to do things on impulse rather than have everything fixed.

i need to be enlightened. because i have too many things on my mind lately and it's made me become a more complicated person. i dont like that. i dont like that my mind feels so cluttered. LIFE IS SIMPLE. it is only made complicated by ourselves. the other day i was walking through a neighbourhood to get to tuition and very randomly, i just decided to sit down on a bench. i had time so i just sat there and did nothing. people walked past and i bet they mustve thought i was being weird because the bench is kind of like in the middle of nowhere and of all the thousand times that i walked past the bench i never ever see anyone sitting on it. i think it's safe to say that no one EVER sits on that bench. well, except for me. and though i looked like i was stoning i was actually thinking of a alot of stuff. some alone time is always good and i actually made a list of all the simple things in life. but it's not a very long list because i get distracted easily and then after a while i would find myself thinking about other things. hahaa
2 primary school kids walked past me and all of a sudden they started spraying water from their bottles at each other. they looked genuinely happy and i thought that life can be as simple as that. nothing about that scene was fake. when you were young like that, you say and do what you want. nothing is beyond what it looks like.

so i say I AM actually A SIMPLE PERSON who likes to indulge in SIMPLE PLEASURES like:
1. satisfying my growing need for caffeine
2. listening to new songs on my ipod
3. reading a good book
4. watching the ellen degeneres show
5. taking a 20 mins walk home alone instead of taking the bus
6. sitting down and stoning and not doing anything
7. smiling and laughing
and the list goes on.

i want to be a simple person. to not have to pretend anything. to not be associated with any form of hypocrisy. i want to be a good person, a good daughter, a good friend, and many other good things.
