10 Years Ago.. ...

I was reminiscing my childhood memories - for no whatsoever reason- one fine night and took a short trip down memory lane.

Somehow, it became a thought-provoking one as I realized how much the culture and behavior of humans have changed.

I have came up with a list of those that I could remember based on the generation I was from. No offence to anyone in particular, but I just thought some were pretty funny!

How much can you relate to the below points?

1) I make sure you pay!

10 Years Ago: Parents would tell the school/tuition teachers "Feel free to teach my kid a lesson if he/she does not pay attention! You can cane him/her ah!"

Now: "*screams* YOU DARE TO LAY A FINGER ON MY KID, I'LL MAKE SURE YOU PAY FOR IT! #*($#(*&$#!! *lodges a complaint to MOE*

2) I STOMP YOU!

10 Years Ago: *Teacher threw chalk, markers, ruler, whiteboard dusters at student who wasn't paying attention*

Now: *Student takes out camera phone secretly from pocket and records a video/take a snapshot of the teacher to post on STOMP*

3) When being Anti-Social becomes a trend... ...

10 Years Ago: *Students laughed and played gleefully with five stones, zero-points and hop-scotch (probably the better ones would be found playing with board games such as Snake & Ladder) during recess hours* Ah, such luxury of life... ...

Now: *Students take out iPhone, iPad, tablets and gets engrossed in their own virtual world while updating their Facebook statuses*

4) Let's go steady!

10 Years Ago: 

*Guy A is interested in Girl A*

Guy A: Eh, want to go steady or not?

Girl A: *smiles shyly* So you want to be my stead ah?

Guy A: Steady, lah!

-And they are official-

Now:

*Guy A sends relationship request to Girl A*

*Girl A accepts relationship request*

*Latest Facebook update: Guy A is in a relationship with Girl A*

-And they are official-

5) When long letters become an instant message

10 Years Ago:

*Students wrote long letters on fanciful-looking papers and passed them to each other during available hours* Oh! The thrill of receiving letters and the anticipation to read them!

Now: *Students take out mobile phones and send instant messages using Chat applications*

6) My World and Yours are Different

10 Years Ago:

*Students talked their hearts out and gave full attention to one another while treasuring every moment they could*

Now: *Students take out their mobile phones and get engrossed in each of their separate world while still seated together*

7) Friends Forever!

10 Years Ago:

*Students bought different colored strings/threads to sell and made friendship bands* Aww, the sweetness of friendship...

Now: Let's have some Rainbow loom fun!

8) Write my diary!

10 Years Ago:

*Students passed a diary book to one another and requested friends to write in their diary using different colored pens*

Now: 

*Anticipates a Facebook Wall post*

9) It's music!

10 Years Ago:

*Students showed off their Discman and listened to music with a CD loaded in it*

Now:  *Students log onto Youtube using their mobile phones and start surfing away*

 

10) Growing up...

10 Years Ago: (Okay, not really 10 years ago)

Now:  

Okay, just to end this entry on a funny note. 

*shrugs*

Happy Holiday, folks!

It's Just So Freaking Disgusting

Have you ever came across disgusting videos, attempted not to watch them and ENDED UP watching them eventually? (Hey, don't deny it - I am sure you did!)

So I believe I am not the only one with a warped mind.

If you think your stomach can handle these shit, go ahead and click on the videos: (Don't say I didn't warn you) You are watching them at your own risk. They are so disgusting to the extent that you will lose your appetite for the whole day.

(I'm wondering if this guy is even human. He can eat literally ANYTHING in the world. And he is accepting new ideas! Maybe I shall write in and have him try some human faeces.)

Now... Do you still feel normal?

Life Mysteries

No doubt that I have been watching, "researching" and understanding more about life mysteries lately. Call them paranormal, but I would like to think of it from another perspective.

One of such things that intrigued me ALOT is something called "Parallel Universe". Personally, I find it very thought-provoking. 

Does it really exist?

Imagine it - There are different "versions" of us living in real-time, but IN A DIFFERENT DIMENSION. Everything around us looks and feels the same, but there's still a slight difference nonetheless. For example, you might have known Person A in this dimension, but the other version of you in another dimension had taken a alternative route and ended  up not knowing Person A. 

So what happens if our dimensions "clash", and you wake up one day to discover that you are living your life in another dimension? I'm sure everyone in THAT current dimension you are in will accuse you of being  a nutcase. 

READ THIS. Its up to you to believe, or not. (CLICK THIS)

Another "mystery" that caught my interest is "Past Life Regression". Do you believe in past lives, and do you have any "flashbacks" or memories of them? You may find it unbelievable, but there are real stories of people who had actually jotted down all the details they could remember, so as to find out the truth behind it. What's fascinating is that they could actually say things that they have no knowledge of, and even words that they have not used or aware of. 

It is all believed to be a triggered memory from a past life. But how much truth does it contain? Life is full of mysteries, and I am sure this is something that shall always leave humans clueless unless they have a first-hand experience of it themselves.

If you are feeling so bored and hope to watch something that sets you thinking, here it is:
