tata, it's december, the holiday month! while many friends have already ord'ed, here i am, contented just to have enough leave to stay home half the month. tis the season to be jolly~

anyway, i was lazing around earlier when i suddenly thought how much of a narcissist/camera-whore i have become. where once i was very self-conscious in front of the camera, now it feels like second nature striking a pose and putting on a charming smile when i spot the camera head looking my way. what caused the change? i wondered. confidence, of course! once, i was a shy boy, who squirms uncomfortably when the focus is on me. however, the moment it dawned upon me that looks is but a superficial layer, the meek little cat in me roared. *strokes his ego*

shall not digress. why let it bother you what others think? if people don't like you because you don't look like brad pitt or angelina jolie, and if people shun you because you aren't as cool as whoever's-the-coolest-dude-alive, chances are, they are not worth acquainting with. every individual is special (in the non-special way :P), be known as the special you. why conform to a seemingly 'ideal' image/character when you are probably best being yourself. the chassis is built to accomodate the engine, not the other way round.

pardon me if i sound larger-than-life, i'm only human, voicing my thoughts. that said, i think i look pretty darn good. :P
