Thou shalt not judge

Skivving from writing this 'nuclear-physics' policy paper.Urrrrrghhh, oh yeah! Back at work to clear some bits, else this heart will probably not be able to withstand the repercussions when i open my mailbox come Wednesday. I've not had much time to blog as much as i'd like but today since no one's in the office except for the boss who'll be dropping by later, i find myself with loads of time to write something besides the usual half-past five efforts. With this time as well,i managed to catch up on my guilty-pleasure reading of other blogs and came up with little realisations of my own.
It's a little disconcerting to see girls being girls. Sometimes i think we're too hard on ourselves. Look at the boys. So they argue but more often than not they'd probably say ,
'Let's have a drink, cool off and go home.' That simple. No long-overbearing grudges. No catty snarls. No 'i'm right, you're wrong' syndrome or below the belt swipes you know.
* although that last bit would probaly hurt a guy more than a girl*
But i'll be the first to admit i'm not so good around girls myself. Or at least until i met some really great ones these past couple of years. My theory for this is probably because i grew up with two brothers hence most of the time, scraped knees and bruised cheeks were more of a normality rather than dolls or the other girly stuffs.
Disclaimer folks: This doesn't equate me in any way to being a leading expert of the inner workings of a typical male mind.
If i am to have a daughter, i'll probably want to teach her magnanimity, humility and fortitude. Courage for when the chips are down, to stand up and be strong. To be a better person regardless of her past. To effuse love and happiness. To always NOT judge a person despite what's been said and done. I *know* the last part is incredibly hard to do BUT i do want her to at least try. Enough's going on around the world without us having to add on to more condescension and disharmony. But lastly, i want her to keep her child-like enthusiam forever. To always see the good in herself, others and life.
With this, let's all be kinder to each other.
Be a little nicer. Try to see the good despite grievances of the past.
It's not easy. Trust me, i know.
But just give it a shot.
Might turn out better than expected.

So, the last time we went clubbing before last weekend's escapade was during NYE. So we thought, let's drag our lazy arses down to MOS and check the place out. It was long overdue mind you but better late than never eh?
It was all right. Frankly, nothing awesome that made these jaws drop. The White Room, as its name suggests has everything including the comfy sofas in white. That room was all right too. Crowd-wise, Zouk's a lot better. Then again, this author's a little biased. So rightfully bored we were until a decision was made to patronize an old haunt. You know old habits die hard or is it just that we're old? I swear i had more fun being in a smaller club and then hopping to another joint to watch a friend play percussions for a private party. Somehow i'd rather be in someplace small than having to squeeze in between rowdy ang-mohs and equally 'i have no idea how to dance but i'll sway my arms like crazy anyway' ah-bengs. Okay, i'm being horrid i know but truly for the love of God!
I think i'm seriously getting old. The clubbing scene et al. I don't know. As a pal told me, there needs to be an occasion for her to go and club. Well, Paul Van Dyke is an occasion right? *wink wink* Bila dorang mau suruh itu Pippi spin lagik daaaa?
However, another pal also said something which help to alleviate a little of this irrational fear of getting older. Something to the effect that she's surprised Naz and i have not followed the trodden path of not being the party animals that we are after our marriage. In fact, we're still going out to have our own nights of fun without each other and i think that's healthy.
A burning question though,
Who the heck is going to look after our baby if we're both out partying?
*pengsan*
A thought to ponder on anyway.
:P
