Should Principles Be Compromised?

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006

Is it really worth sticking strongly to one’s principles even when consequences of that is not in one’s favor?

I find myself being stubborn, as a result of believing too strongly in upholding my principles in life.  Because it’s so subjective, i’m often viewed as being inflexible on occasions, and it’s worse when it is easy to be proven i would be on the losing end by not doing politically-correct things simply because that would be against my principles! Acquaintance asked, "Does it pay to stick to your principles and forgo beneficial opportunities? Why be so stubborn and not look at the bigger picture?"

i ask myself, "Should i try compromising on my principles to make paths in my life an easier walk?"

Chicken Pox

Tuesday, September 5th, 2006

For someone who hasn’t been sick for a long long time (just wana say i’ve always been very healthy), getting chicken pox at this age is hell! Isn’t it supposed to be a child virus?

I started to feel very strange a couple of days back, body started aching and head spinned alittle ocassionally.  Come yesterday, after survey at tanjong pagar, a very sick (literally) feeling overwhelmed me… I ignored and carried on to a fren’s grandma’s wake.. kena abit of rain… head spinned faster! By the time i reached home, i knew i was sick. Suddenly, i saw bubbles on my stomach and one at a corner of my face! After i came out of shower, i was already quite certain i got the chicky virus! My sis counted 10 bubbles on my back.. Gross!

Im now on 2 weeks MC, today’s just my first day and im starting to feel bored. I’ve to cancel all my appts and stay at home?? =( Worse, no internet access or SCV at home! Cry cry…
