No, the tang yuans above are not dyed with 'stupid' colours to make it look attractive. The purple one is yam, the yellowish orange is pumpkin and the light yellow one is potato. It has flavours, see.
Spent a simple winter solstice fest with my family, the usual dinner at grandma's with yummy traditional steamboat accompanied by soft drinks, other hokkien traditional cuisines and of course, who would not enjoy having the company of cousins? Been ages since the last time I socialised with people outside the world aside from MSN. Should start having a life soon. Being independant of course.
On a darker note, yes, I am on a rantage now.
Something a friend said really offended me earlier. And I have come to discover that even though I do like to try to 'be myself', a part of me is still trying to please people out there. And I am not liking it one bit. It happens self conciously. I mean, how many times have I said or done something just so that I do not anger anyone? And honestly speaking, how many people whom I've met have done the same? I should say zilch because everyone says what they damn well please in front of me without regarding how I feel. Like a friend who curses and calls me such disregarding names when we chat. Or the person who thinks of me as a pest and that I am being too sticky (although she did not say it but something she said earlier made me feel it).
In the end, it doesn't matter how nice you are to people or how many close friends you've made because all you have in yourself. My new year resolution will be: To do and say what I feel is RIGHT. In a rougher way, I mean I shall do what I damn well please. Since no one will care about you and your puny feelings, you shouldn't have that much of tolerance for their feelings as well. Not to say that you can't have a compassionate feel but not too much. Moderate shall do. Everything in moderation, yes?
So, if I do not feel like talking/smsing/msning/whatever it is, I shall just happily ignore the person, regardless of who it is. If I feel like being a snip and condemning people, I shall just happily do so because how many people have done the same to me? The world is not fair, right?
And if people start regarding me as el bitcho or something to that extent, I shall apologize for being one and clearly state that 'what goes around, comes around'. This is to politely explain that you will be getting treated they way you've treated me.
Treat others they way you want to be treated. Either that, or get lost. Simple.
