A Silly Poem

Said Hamlet to Ophelia,

I'll draw a sketch of thee,

What kind of pencil shall I use?

2B or not 2B?

---Terence Alan Milligan---

Hahaha....sometimes I wish I could have the skill of writing good poetry and not wait for inspiration to hit before coming up with a good piece. For Mimi and Shannon, I guess the task of writing good poetry comes easy for them as they have been honing their skills for years and they're good at their trade.

I guess I understand how Mimi feels when she blogs about being anti-social and stuff. It's like it takes extra effort for introverts like me to open up to people easily and like what Mimi says, everytime you talk to someone, you're revealing bits of yourself. And if you say something unintended accidentally, people will characterise you according to what you've said and sometimes what you've said doesn't reflect your true self. Well, sounds complicated eh? So, the best thing to do is to keep your mouth shut. This is only a temporary measure as you'll not risk saying something odd but if this happens permanently, people might take the silence as being cold,aloof or even as a sign of pride or anti-social behaviour. Therefore, Singapore has been emphasising public speaking amongst youths by allowing active learning in classrooms through discussions and presentations, which I dread the most. However, I must say that all these platforms have helped but only to a minimal extent. It still doesn't change my introverted personality and the fact that I prefer to listen rather than speak.

Well, just a thought for the day!
