girl-bias.



an old newness.

white light orbs flash across,
the concave contours of the,
glossy blue chairs like how,
pebbles skip across the water.

empty whispers in the dark rushing by
sometimes, screeching whispers,

not of people, meaningless yet scary to imagine if
it were real?

lean forward and take, breathe it in.
an old newness.


took circle line mrt on 28th, first day of opening of the marymount-bartley section.
pretty cool, new new smell of mrt is nice, the train colour's black some more.
i think for now, this will decrease my transport time between acsi and home by at least 5 mins, so that's about 55 mins now, awesome.


now for some interesting thoughts! :P

i have a theory right, that in most or some boys, there's this sense of girl-bias.
like basically, instinctively, boys will treat girls in a nicer way because they're...well, girls.

like for e.g., you'll normally see a friendster testimonial/facebook wall cliche conversation between a girl-girl, or a guy-girl, but not so often guy-guy.
you see guys going like "hey! how are you? remember me! met you at fusion!" to some girl, but you don't really see them doing that to other guys.
and then both parties will engage in some long wall/testimonial conversation which sounds super friendly-like/superficial. now i'm not saying this is WRONG, neither am i implying that it is at all disgusting to have friendly-like conversations with a girl (as a guy), just saying it could be a case of girl-bias.

excuses and explanations.
and then some guys will say stuff like "oh, cos' girls are so much easier to talk to." now i'll admit there's some truth to this, i mean not to get scientific-ky, but guys' are proven to be more event-oriented and girls, relationship-oriented. but if you are able to talk to that certain girl well, then you're just defeating your stereotype of guys being hard to talk to, unless you think all guys are hard to talk to except you. personally, i've tried before, girls generally do seem to be more receptive than boys. (for those i've talked to).

and there's the boys, who are really just...more effeminate? not that it's bad, it's just like a spectrum, seriously, doesn't have anything to do with gayness or anything, you can be manly and gay. yeah so ok in the case of effeminate boys, then yeah, i think they would click better with girls, but for most cases...i don't think it's the situation.

and just for the record, i personally think it's kinda stupid/sickening if a guy talks superficial stuff just for the sake of interacting with a girl, if it's unnatural and if it doesn't reflect his true personality.

now, i'm not denying that i have any girl-bias. i'm sure as a boy, i have some. but i still interact with boys, and do it the same way as with girls. sure, i adapt and have slight personality shifts in different relationships, but i believe it's individual-oriented, not gender-oriented.

haha, yep, something to think about.
oh this is not a personal attack to anyone, in case you thought it was, it's just a thought.




whooopee whee blast off it's the june holidays.

indie rock.

hohoho, exams over. (:
these exams felt kinda weird. i think as the years progress on, we tend to adapt a slacker attitude towards these regular tests, because they just wear us down.
we as children need more FREEDOM.
it's the essence of youth!

starting to play Assasin's Creed on ps3. pretty cool game.
and yet chinese O's in two weeks. bah.

recently, life's been pretty interesting.
yet...normal.

checking out new bands now, from the indie rock genre.
- Arcade Fire
- The New Pornographers.
yeah, the latter's a little...different. but it's nice nonetheless.
haven't found the albums in Singapore yet though, I want Challengers by The New Porno.


an awesome song.

Wake Up - Arcade Fire
Somethin' filled up my heart with nothin',
Someone told me not to cry.
But now that I'm older, my heart's colder,
And I can see that it's a lie.

Children, wake up, hold your mistake up
Before they turn the summer into dust.
If the children don't grow up
Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.
We're just a million little gods causing rain storms
Turning every good thing to rust.

I guess we'll just have to adjust.

With my lightning bolts a-glowin'
I can see where I am going to be when the reaper he reaches and touches my hand.

With my lightning bolts a-glowin'
I can see where I am goin'.
With my lightning bolts a-glowin'
I can see where I am goin'.

Better look out below!


beautiful song, do check it out, here's a link.
