Behind every mask, there is always a story to tell.
No matter how many layers we have lay upon our skin to hide our true inner self, that layer will crack one day, and you will show who you really are.
You can seem like the most bubbly, happy person to others. But deep inside that outer shell, you are going through worry and pain. Sometimes it is that difficult to let go of problems.
Sometimes, they haunt you for life.
Today, I bumped into a friend. I wouldn't really call him a friend, he's more of a colleague, for he's a security guard in the place where I work.
He's the kind of person where, on first glance, think he's the kind with no worries, and is always happy, for he greets everyone he sees with his heartwarming smile.
I've always thought the same way too, till i looked into his eyes today as we bumped into each other in the MRT station and so happened we were going in the same direction.
His eyes, were filled with much worry and sorrow.
As the chinese saying always goes, 家家有本难念的竟. (Forgive me for the wrong characters. My chinese is not that of excellence) This saying means, that in every family, there is an untold story. No one ever knows what people around have gone through, and that is because, all of us wear a mask to hide our true selves.
Seeing my friend tear in front of me as he spoke of his troubles really saddened me as well. Somehow, his pain resonated, and i could really feel it.
This really drives me even further to my aspiration
Putting unhappy thoughts aside, I had a really great day, be it with project work, or celebrating Yi En's birthday! We had dinner at the once-known-to-be Marche-but-has-changed-its-name-to-Village. Though we spent alot (And drank quite a bit too), we had fun. And I hope that more days of this would come!

Today has definitely been a fruitful day for me
Me
I can be quiet
I can be loud
I can be reserved
I can be wild
I hate deception
I hate lies
I hate betrayal
All in all, No matter what happens,
Life still goes on =)
Life is like a puzzle;
Constructed, connected and arranged piece by piece;
Clench the teeth with perseverance;
All the suffering will end eventually;

Look at the stars, and not the reflection of the moon.
