Stand on One's Own Feet


My mother told me to be a lady. And for her, that meant be your own person, be independent. I've learned to earn money when I was in form 3 and I got many working experiences: teacher, day-care tutor, clerk, sales assistant, part-time job promoter and research assistant. I've met many different types of people and I know it's just a small part of all over the real world. I'm glad that I've found my best buddies and I have been knowing them for almost 8 years.

I suddenly feel like writing something about independent. You know, I hate people rely on me especially those people I don't like the most. I noticed that most of the people who are the youngest in the family tend to have evident dependence. Even though they look tall or unpleasant, but in the bottom of their heart, they are like a baby. Hello! It's time to grow up! *roar*

On top of that, I would like to clarify something that I always go back home doesn't mean I really need mummy to take care of me. I've learned to cook when I was in standard five and even my daddy also said that I'm the most independent girl in the family. Then what is the reason of going back home frequently? I would say that I'll be more happy to be with my hometown friends and family if compared to housemates. Sometimes, doesn't click mean doesn't click.

Another 2 more weeks, I would have my internship in Nanyang and I hope to have a new experience with new friends. I don't mind to work in a strange environment as I like meeting new people and I've always wanted to try something new. *wink*

Oh ya, I've found a quote about girl and I think it's very true. Let's share it together:

Before marriage, a girl has to make love to a man to hold him.
After marriage, she has to hold him to make love to him.

Marilyn Monroe

I personally find this quote contradictory. If presumably, a girl has to make love to a man in order to get a hold of him, that would mean she might be classified as a slut. However, this will only seem like a norm to special individuals, (ie. in this sense Marilyn Monroe - who is an actress, which means her living goes by acting).

I find your post interesting. Independence since young eh? Yeah, only when u're away from your comfort zone will u be able to rely on your abilities & mature faster. Keep it up Peng. U're doing great! =)
