Psychologist Aspiring Student
Life to me is a process of living with obstacles to learn and overcome, and climax to enjoy.
Appreciation & Humbleness, are values I'm still learning.
Keep in mind: The sea may be calm, but chaos runs within.
Through transitions, I've became what I am today.

What Kuanli Means |
 You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life. You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them. You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way. And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life. You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. |

geez. after having this skin for a couple of days, i kinda miss the skin i had before.
The one that screams nothing more than just simplicity itself. aww.
*warning: long post after so long! read it only when you're free and ready to waste your life away.
anyways, i was reading one of my past post regarding the complains of an average typical teenager. it was about how parents are inquisitive about their kids' whereabouts, and life.
about how parents try to instill their dreams, ideals and expectations into their kids.
and about how some things when forcibly pressured on their children, it is harmful to the relationship between parent and child, not only does it cause the child to be more distant, they tend to keep to themselves knowing that when they do speak about their ideas, perspective and basically, how they feel towards certain issues that are happening around them, will be rejected; if not, a taboo when spoken of.
even after 3 years since that post was made, i still stand still with that comment i've made back then.
Parents are concerned about their kids' whereabout is because they care and want to know if they are in safe hands. however, to be questioning to know and to be inquisitive is very much different. i believe most adolescents nowadays do not like the fact that their parents are asking too much into their lives and about who they hang out with. i mean, i feel strongly about it when my parents do ask about who i'm going out with, and where i'm going. yes, it is concern. yes, it is definitely and totally right of them to be asking. but then again, because i've been staying in Canada fdor 2 years already, i find it pretty weird when i'm being questioned about my whereabouts. especially when i'm leaving my house, and for 2 years, no one have been there to question about my whereabouts. i basically go out and come home as and when i want to, without anyone there to answer to. it totally mystifies me sometimes about how my parents question about where i'm going and who i'm going out with. why does it mystify me? because ever since they sent me to Canada, i've been alone and taking care of myself. considering the fact that Canada is a total different culture and a place that somehow offer less security than there is in Singapore. to be real honest, i get somehow irritated when my parents question me.
parents sometimes think and keep thinking that we children, are not thinking for them at all. we're not putting ourselves in their shoes. but i really would like to beg to differ. most kids, who are about 18 and above, would understand their parents' concerns. (especially if they are very bonded with the family) however, sometimes parents should get out of their own shoes and think about how we feel about certain issues. i would be really happy to know that my parents are trying to establish a common language with me. for example, instead of making a discussion, "THE talk", why not try another approach? like making the supposed TALK to become just a casual conversation which allows each own perspective to flow and be discussed? if it is approaching sensitive issues which you parents might dislike or feel strongly against, why not try to hear your kid out? let them talk instead of you talking. afterall, it is their life they're leading, and will be leading. parents always say they want to guide their children to the right path. but wat really is the right path? and wat really is right for us? we may be young, and yes children will always be children in the eyes of their parents. but still, decisions are wat we should learn to make. make decisions now, if it's wrong, pull out and learn to make a better decision as we grow.
有时让我们碰碰钉子,也是件好事！
i truly feel strongly against parents who tries to forcibly pressure their children out of something, even though their children might feel strongly about the whole thing they are involved in. how do parents forcibly pressure children?
here are some ways...
(1) threaten to ground or take away something from them (e.g allowances, holidays, phone, laptop, etc..)
(2) giving them THE RESTRICTION (e.g. "YOU SHOULDN'T DO THAT! IT'S WRONG!")
(3) Contempt and disregard (e.g "YOU THINK YOU'RE SO SMART TO BE MAKING THAT DECISION/CHOICE YOU MADE? YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO KNOW WAT YOU'RE DOING!")
by making us feel stupid wont do any good to you either. our ability to make decisions for our own should be lauded, not disregarded. give us some respect that we're learning, and if you think our choice made was stupid, keep it to yourself and discuss the situation with us. we'd listen. one thing adolescents feel strongly about is the amount of respect they earn from people around them, especially parents. why else would they do so much to earn the respect of their peers? by listening to what they have to say, may serve as a good purpose for the parent-child relationship. it allows them to feel more comfortable with opening up to you. Most parents from what I've learned and known, would like to know about what and how their children are doing and thinking. by rejecting their ideas, their comments and their troubles, it's as good as disregarding them. you adults have your own problems, and we have our own problems. when we don't disregard your problem, don't disregard ours.
also, i believe that parents should realise that YOUTH is POWERFUL. this is the time we can truly have fun without considering so much. (as we grow, things get complicated, and there's more things to be considered) by tying us down at home, telling us to study, study and STUDY, ain't gonna do us any good. our current society is looking for people who balances their IQ and EQ. think about that.
children, on the other hand, should try to understand more about their parents' concerns. they don't ground you or do things for no reason. they ground you and do things for you, because they care about you. if you want to be respected by your parents, don't do stupid things that will get you into trouble. how can you earn respect from your parents?
(1) be realistic and not TOTALLY idealistic. know your goals and your aims.
(2) grades. it's a really good way for parents to know that you can manage your leisure time and academic well. (it shows tinge of maturity)
(3) don't be talking bullshit, or as if you're a Mr/Ms know-it-all. you dont know as much about life as your parents does, so sometimes, just stfu and listen to what they have to say. talking bullshit and i do mean bullshit. sometimes even if it might sound utterly intelligent to you, it's total rubbish and a waste of breath of others. you give them to respect, you do and handle your own things well, you gain the respect.
(4) don't be screaming and shouting like a kid when they don't agree with you. or you just don't get what you want. think about how you feel when you see a kid screaming and shouting at the grocery/departmental store. you look just like them.
(2) WORKS BEST! for me, i must say i'm really fortunate that my parents don't demand much with my grades and allows me to handle my academic life myself.
well, i've got so much to say. as an adolescent, as a student, as a daughter, i know how i want to be treated. i wanna be treated with respect. i wanna be treated like a 19 year old instead of a 16. GONE are the days when i scream and shout like a mad kid, because i can't get my way.
GONE are the days when i was irresponsible with whatever i was doing.
all these might sound shallow/naive, but then again, it's my perspective of how parents should be, and how children should be. at least give it a thought about what i've said, cause this whole entry here is triggered off by the fact that i attended a Teenage Talk for Parents. if you're a parent, think about how you were feeling about issues, when you were at our age. but don't use YOUR era to compare with kids of our CURRENT era. Environment plays a HUGE role to the behaviour and mindset of people.
To all Children in the world:
It's tough being a parent. It's even tougher to be a GOOD parent. you'd know when your time comes!
To all Parents in the world:
As much as it's hard on your guys, it's hard for us teenagers too. BANG! and suddenly, we're in the Real world.
