The Hardest Thing.

This is not another rendition of Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word by Sir Elton John. You need to admit fault before you decide to apologize. What is the hardest thing to do, if you may ask. It's admitting you're wrong and be truly honest about it. There's only two scenarios that a person would admit his/her wrongs. Firstly, to avoid a scene. Secondly, just for the heck to please someone else. Nobody likes to be wrong, even me. Frankly, it takes a whole lot of guts to be honest with yourself and accept the facts. Yes people, the ever so cliche line that truth hurts. But why is it that everyone's scared to be wrong? Is it the perception of others that are intimidating you? Or your ego is bruised just because you're simply not right? As for me, I don't like admitting my wrongs simply because I'm afraid of being honest with myself. When arrogance triumph confidence, it leads to self destruct because it sets a barrier that blocks you from learning new things. Believe it or not, it's time for someone to learn something when they're wrong. Just like exams. You get some questions wrong and you get some right. You don't read the ones you got right but instead, you start seeking for the right answers for the questions you've gotten it completely wrong. Same goes for people in all walks of life. Don't afraid to be wrong now or you'll never get it right! Cheers. =)

A New Form Of English?

Instant messaging are commonly used among youngsters nowadays. Yes, even me! We (referring to readers that are about the same age as me) usually hog on the computer when we have nothing to do and chat with our online buddies. Well, that online buddy of yours could be the kid you see in school everyday, classmates or perhaps someone who lives a 15 minute drive from your house. I've been a frequent user of IM (instant messaging) over the years and still am today. Then it finally struck me. Brb which stands for be right back, gtg which is the short form of got to go and much more are just the common ones that made total sense for their existence but SWT? In case you're not living in Malaysia or Singapore, SWT stands for sweat. The usage of the term SWT definitely sets Malaysia and Singapore apart from other countries in the world. Whenever someone says something that does not amuse you, you say SWT. Don't deny it Malaysians and Singaporeans! What does SWT actually means?Is it a form of expression? If so, what expression does it portray?! I'm guilty of using the term SWT but I've seek redemption by not using it anymore and devote myself into finding the truth and nothing but the truth about SWT. So people, what's your opinion?
Do drop some comments if you have any insight about this matter. =)

I'll be posting about almost anything that runs through my mind here.
Be it social issues, sports, politics, education and so on.
