simplicity

turned down some offers to go drinking tonight, and to go zouk as well. just didnt feel like staying out of the house... not that i've been nua-ing the whole day. just began giving tuition to manice, my kid from last year. it has always been a pleasure teaching her. 16 year olds..i suddenly envied her, being a 16 yr old, when the world was so much simpler. was i like that when i was 16? worried about my grades, coming home from sch everyday, going out with friends during holidays... was i ever..simple? did i think of the world as black and white with no doubts for any nuances of greys? somehow i dont remember ever being like that. was i exposed to the world too early?

read this quote from somewhere, 'minds that have been broadened cannot retain their original confines'.

usually i love going out and meeting people, even if it's people i'm not very close to. cos i believe in networking, believe in the concept that the more people i know the merrier, believe in the concept that you'll never know whose help you need. friendship cannot be formed in a second, but rather it takes time and communication and effort from both parties to maintain.

but today is just not the day; today is not PR day.
