do not be captivated by anyone or anything

I admit it takes a long time for me to compose anything in English. Sometimes, a posting on this blog will require 2 hours. I was never coherent in my thoughts and thus found it very hard to concentrate my ideas, if there are any at all, into consistent sentences.

Constipation.

Remember the principles of good English writing that we were once thought in school? Simple and concise but not monotonous. Straight to the point. Use jargons only when needed and use simple words for all else. Create good form and structure in your paragraphs. While the 'rules' are simple, it's certainly not simple for some individuals.

Anyway, I found an online article Elements of Style that may be quite useful for those who have similar problems like I do.

Perception in life is not defined by a long and continuous journey but rather a series of momentous singular events that shapes an individual's unique character. Each event gives rise to new perspectives, new fears, new strengths and even new ideals. By contemplating on the meaning of these events, I seek to expand my mind's vistas and thus becoming a better me.

Why GREY? Why use grey for my blog's colour theme? I had wanted silver but it's kinda hard to get that on our monitor screens don't you think... :-) Anyway being grey is COOL. Neither black nor white but somewhere in between. Reflects my view of life perfectly and totally. There are no absolute rights or absolute wrongs, in other words, no absolute truths. Our perceptions are based on conditions and our actions are based on circumstances. But our life is not all that greeeeeeeeeeey right? Yup, that's right and this is where my photos, occasionally, will add the necessary dashes of colour to my blog. Just as how dull routines at work makes chance meetings with friends so cherishable, the greyishness of my design makes my photos so much more livelier.
