Pindahan ah #3

I was shallowly devastated because I couldn't go to Egypt on holiday :)

Bye bye Egypt

Ok, before you start protesting, I know this is too much, 3 entries in one night. But I am just totally inspired right now. Maybe ‘inspired’ isn’t the right word, maybe it’s more like ‘releasing the need to blabber’ (is that the right term?) after the 3-year-writing-vacancy, and I’ve never kept any journal either.

My Egypt trip is officially canceled. *sobs*

I was planning to go to Cairo with a friend for the Christmas holiday… am really looking forward to it. But I’ve just recently realized that I have to extend my visa in December, and the process will take about 2 weeks approximately. I couldn’t book the ticket, because I wouldn’t know when exactly I’ll get my passport back. Yes, they will take away my passport. And after I get back my passport I can’t go either, since the plane tickets price will be soaring high. I think the big guys from those airplane companies can buy a new car every Christmas!

And the friend, who’s supposed to travel with me to Egypt, goes to Paris instead! And same old story, I can’t go, I won’t have any passport….

poor me poor me… *self pity mode on*

So, I guess I’ll have convince myself to face the fact that I’ll be spending the holiday in Berlin (just like every other years)..

*for P.S : if you read this, don’t forget that you still owe me an Egypt trip!

I wrote this for my dear friend or cousin who hated her job back then.

For my dear friend, the SQ girl :)

Be brave, little girl
for courage is what counts
I know it’s tiring to put on a fake smile
and that you feel like you can’t carry on.
But time flies, little girl
And when it’s all over,
you’ll look back and smile at the memories
and the tears you now shed.
I can’t hold your hand,
but I’m all ear for you.
That I can promise.
Be strong, little girl
for your friend will always be here for you.

Perfection ?

I once watched a beauty pageant show on telly. The moderator said this in a press conference : "We are looking for a woman, who has a perfect face and body, perfect beauty." This sentence made me think, what is perfection actually ?

According to the pageant's moderators, a perfect woman is the one who has blonde hair, long legs, big boobs. And ironically, almost everyone has the same perception of perfection in term of a woman's beauty. We, modern people, claiming to possess freedom of our own mind, are in fact being brain-washed by the images of beauty magazines. When you come to think about it, are those women who don't have blonde hair, etc IMperfect ?

Perfect :
1. Lacking nothing essential to the whole ; complete in its nature or kind
2. Being without defect or blemish

The word 'perfect' itself has different meaning to each individual person.
To art-lovers, perfect might be a Picasso's abstract painting (which , for me personally, is not perfect at any rate, since I can't understand what's behind those blunt colours).
To a mother, perfect is her ear-piercing loud, crying baby (Yikes ! I hate crying babies!)

See ? Perfection is only about our own different perception, point of view, background, favor, etc. So, who are they, we, dare to categorize what or who is perfect and who isn't, based only on our own subjective ignorance ?
