Sprinklings of Twinkie's Dusts... * . .* .. (or The Girl Who Decided To Throw Her Memories Away)

Funny how I get inspirations while in cinemas. You read about the inspiration I got from "Rumour has it". Today, the inspiration came from watching "Failure to Launch". Now don't ask me how the thoughts came in. I have no idea. They just dropped.

This time, I have decided to throw away the memory items that I have been hoarding for years but never serve any purpose. They take up space in my room, makes it messy, and I have no use for them, EVER. I do not see any point keeping these as "mementos" when they are kept forever in the drawers, out of sight, out of mind, never a change to see the light. And besides, there's no special someone to show them my childhood memories anyway. There is never going to be any children or grandchildren to tell them my dorky secondary school days. Yeah, my nieces... But they won't have use for them too.

I want to live for NOW. And frankly, it's the NOW that really matter. The past is gone. Over. Period. Nothing I can do to bring it back, they remain as they are, just THE PAST. If I have no use for them anymore, might as well banish them into eternal history.

Of course not all will be trashed... But I think after making this decision, it's easier for me to part with old clothes, old notes, old books etc etc...

Funny thing how these decisions only come at the end of the week, when I am going to start a new week and no free time at hand.

Brgh. Just gotta keep myself on track.

Don't you hate to get spams from people you know? As in they forward you with stupid messages of threat, that if you don't forward it, you friendster account will be deleted, your dad will die, or something bad will happen to you... Then there are those that just forward like, 20 forwarded email attachments to you... Why do they bother to open the 19th one in the first place, I wonder... and wonder hard.

Then there are the urban legends and virus hoaxes... I really do not understand why do people get so excited about these emails and never bother to check out the real thing themselves before forwarding them? In order to drive home my point, I will go check out the haox and replied to everyone in their email forward and tell them it's a hoax or it's an urban legend. Sorry pal, gotta make you lose face... So that no more harm will be done.

I don't know whether to choose

a) the internet revolution has made mankind more bo liao, or;

b) the internet revolution has made mankind more stupid.

Sorry, I am not holier than thou, but really...

ARGH.

Today went to QBC Chinese service. Well, it's different, and the message was what I want to hear. Will I continue to go there or go FCBC?

We'll see.
