ThAnks T

A somewhat simply MSN conversation prompted to write this entry..

Knowing that a friend had just did Laser Treatment (Lasec) to his eyes, to show my concern...
Me: "How's your eye"
T: "Very very clear"
T:"now i'm better than u... cos u got night blindness"
Me: "rite..."
T: "Haha"
Me: "Thx"
A rather shocking reply... very insensitive. ThAnks T again for his reply. Else I would never bother to write this entry. Maybe he had meant as a joke.
At tt instance, I was angry... I wished I could ripped his eyes out and play ping pong with them.. tt's rather childish. Its more useful to donate them to some blind fellow who appreciates them more. Well... I ain't angry abt it anymore. Just disappointed at how insensitive a "friend" actually is. Frankly, I can't be bothered. Its too trival. Some might say.. if its too trival, y even blog it? It just tt this incident just promopted me to think even more of other things...
Many a times, I have this thinking.. "People come, People go..." How many people do u still keep in contact with? They come and go... He's just another friend, another person in my life whom isn't someone i'm gonna be building a long lasting r/s with anyways. Building long lasting r/s is never my forte. Anyways I guessed he had just said it w/o thinking... Like eating eggtarts, eat and forget.. HAHA

Had our quest for perfection made us less perfect? Had we reached a stage tt perfection is the only answer when clearly the world is always less than perfect? Can we perfect the art of perfection?

It seems that he can see better now. He is more perfect now for he doesn't need specs. But he dun see that many others are still wearing specs. There are also people who are blind. You may be better now, but at least I can see clearer than u. U had been blurred by perfection.

Yes, i have a problem with seeing in the dark. I need more light than most other people. It was something tt I had a hard time coming to accept as I had PERFET eyesight for the past 20+ yrs of my life. Things change and how do we deal with them? We hide? We runaway? We choose to ignore it, thinking tt it will all just go away? Is that how we deal with a problem? That WAS me... A LDR problem. A less than perfect eyesight problem. Things tt i never come to terms with. I believed they could be settled easily. But in reality, the problem dun just lies with me, the people around me had to deal with it too. I can solve my own problem, but how to others see my problem, that's the bigger problem. I am coming to terms with them...
Oh, btw, that day at Zouk, the lady had bumped into the drinks herself. I hadn't bumped into her, in case u think i din see her or something. She was a drunk anyways and crazy.

I just see that this is a rather same issue. I was watching NGC (yes... National Geographic Channel again..) and HBO. There seems to be a lot of programmes abt gays, tranvestities, Transexuals or what is know in Thai as "Katoeys" or "2nd grade woman".

On NGC, there was this program tt featured a enunch from India who turned politician, a kotoey boxer who gained the respect of many when she wins in a Mui Tai competition, a Hijra who castrate himself for religion reasons.
On HBO, a movie abt this man who was married for 20+ yrs with a kid, decides to become a woman for he had always felt tt he was 1. A funny movie abt 2 girls acting as transvestities and mixing with a grp of real tranvestities.
I rem watching a programme by "Get Real" abt the transvestites in SG, interviewing a few people with different education background.

Look at how society perceive these people. We take a 2nd look at them. In India, eunuchs were once worshipped, much like the eunuchs in older Chinese days, where they reign control and power in the imperial courts. Now, eunuchs are considered to be either prostitues or beggers. In Thailand, it was more forgiving for most Thais being buddhist, believed that it was heaven'swill that they were born like this, and not by their own will. Instead of despising them, they shld be receiving help for they are being punished by the heavens. In the HBO movie, it was saddening how the family had to deal with the shame and pain because of 1 man's decision to be a woman. How tolerant is our society to less than perfet people?

Well.. lastly, I will want to dedicate this blog to my young cousin who's fighting cancer. Fight, for the inner strength within you is stronger than anything else in this world.Don't ever give up...
