see that girl with the beaming smile? she cries every night. the nerdy guy up in front isnt just book-smart, he has substance that could put you to shame. a conversation can prove that in no time, except no one bothers. your aunty bakes the best chococolate cakes for you each time she pops over. she sees the psychiatrist every week. your regular fruit grocer who gives you discounts uses his earnings to pay for his sick wife's medical bills.
there is so much that the naked eye cannot see.
i have fallen into the sinking boat one too many times. why is it that first impressions are never right? why do we make our own assumptions based on one tiny detail? why is the deception rate so high, when we claim to be pragmatists inside? we indulge in such entertaining antics that can only show how profoundly shallow we really are.
that itself, is another facade on its own.
humans' ability to conceal and express is brain-numbing. precisely why the act of conveying a message can differ so greatly from one another. and also why various types of smiles- genuine, beckoning, sad, forced, tight, reluctant, playful- have found their way onto our lips. do you really believe in good packages? the ribbon is sealed tight, only few can open the box. the rest are relentlessly fooled into eating the upper crust of the cake. who gets the real deal? most of the time, only family. in rare cases, trusted confidants whose friendships were built on years. the crust-eaters? they get multiple whiffs of fake goodness layered with underlying motives and bad intentions.
im a believer of reality. truths reveal themselves to you only with time.
ride the waves of plays, and prepare to be captivated. we are the best actors, no doubt about it.

so true..there's always more than meets the eye..so start talking and stop judging ^-^ on the other hand, isn't it comforting knowing that there are so many dreams, aspirations, talents and desires waiting to be unearthed? time will show =)
it is comforting and exciting at the same time, knowing that there are brilliant minds at work out there. it's the silent killers(hehe, ob!!) that do harm in the dark that scares me.
Hey!
Didn't realise you were a blogger! Very interesting blog you have here...
I have to agree that it's a pity about first impressions. Sometimes we can't help but be overwhelmed by the little details that jump out at us during first impressions though.
It's a pity that often a person can give us either a 'good vibe' or a 'bad vibe' and that will influence how much we choose to interact with that person in the future. In reality, by limiting our interaction, we're actually burning a bridge that could lead somewhere very interesting!

well this world is like a web of deceit and lies..when you ask anyone how they are doing,they give you a smile you thought was genuine with a big "fine" but deep down you know they are suffering and struggling with their individual's issues.
only time will tell..if the truth ever comes out from the shell i supposed.

lx: love the shades. thankfully, you give off good vibes.
piggy: what you said is really personal- esp with the people we really care about. if you ever have individual issues, out with it! no smile and fine and run away from it!
