Lantern Festival

The below pictures were taken at Clarke Quay on friday night. Shicai and I went there to stroll and check out the atmosphere. Ha one of the few times I see so many children in Clarke Quay. Check out Shicai's blog to see his pictures.




Anyway since I have started work, guess my blog will focus more on my ramblings (other than my activities). Hm I will definitely rear a pet when I have a place of my own. Mainly because after 2 hamsters, I realised having a pet allows you to stop being so selfish; to stop worrying about your work, duties, stress etc and to bring your focus away from yourself and onto a being that needs your care... *doesn't apply to friends and bf* Friends are to hang out with and talk to and bf is your life long partner.

Getting back to the topic, it feels abit like having a child of your own. So in the past, whenever I was stressed out by my workload, FYP etc, I just had to attend to my hamster (including playing with it haha) and I kinda forget about my own worries and feelings. Hm its related to the thinking of: "Do you think you are that important? Your troubles are not The World. The world can live on even if you are not around. Compared to the infinite universe, your troubles and how you are feeling are nothing..."

Yeah so its like you are selfish to worry, stress or feel sorry for yourself while you have this animal to take care of. Anyway the stress will return again to you once you finish playing with the animal, but it seems less of a matter, of less importance to you. Hm basically, to end it off, I like having pets because I like the person I become when I have pets. Maybe its abit like being a social worker bah... Anyway no pets allowed in my house so we will see how in the future when I have a place of my own.
