After observing people across the years, I still find something that is kind of true: People expect to reap (good) behaviors they sow. Sometimes too much until they become disappointed.
Especially people who pour out their lives and time for other people. Somehow people (especially girls) with big capacities to care for people like these (of which I am not), get disappointed when they are taken for granted, or when no one else bothers to do the same for them.
Likewise, those who behave responsibly and rationally expect others to do the same. Those who don't take things too seriously expect others to be relaxed too. Those who work very hard to produce results expect others to do the same. All get disappointed when they see the gap between expectations and realities.
I used to be like that too. Getting disappointed sometimes when I'm the only one enthusiastic about something. When I'm the only donkey pulling the sleigh on and on and on. But I guess growing through the years I've lived past being like that. Now it's so much easier to take a step back and remind myself: people's actions and expectations toward me are different because they are different from me. Makes it easier to predict what others expect from me too.
Don't have to be so concerned when people are not being nice to me the way I am nice. But be observant to the way they are trying to be nice according to who they are, and be surprised by the things you find out when you do.

I don't know why I'm crapping all these but they are just some things from my mind.
There's this handwriting analysis workshop/ campagin in Jurong Point. Supposed to help you improve your writing, analyze your personality through your handwriting and such. They are launching this to improve penmanship because people are writing less and less nowadays. It's a pity because I love to write. On the other hand I also love to type. But handwriting is so much more distinctive and expressive than typing.
From what I got through glancing at the big boards up there, I'm the low-profile, rational, self controlled (what a myth!), steady, no-frills type. Everything seems to fit except self controlled haha. Also my handwriting tends to morph a bit like those of other people around me. I suppose that either means that I am easily influenced by the environment and the people in it. It's either a good or bad thing. The up side means I'm adapt to new situations quickly and make myself at home. The downside means I have no definite, distinctive personality that makes me stand out in a crowd (some of my alphabets can be inconsistent from one line of writing to the next). Still, I don't mind because I don't like standing out anyway.
