On M&M: Mind & Music. (Doesn't melt in your hand nor in your mouth)

I think I'm still deprived of opportunities to achieve my dreams, even after NS. I used to think NS has really deprieved me of doing what I like. Now that I'm working, it seems to be the same case. Now I'm thinking. Is it what I'm doing now? Or is it just procrastination that is depriving me?

I remember my sis they all saying about how we liked different genres of music. For my elder sis, she likes techno/upbeat music so that pretty much shows that she likes to do things fast, though not very orderly.

My younger sis is just a regular pop music listener. Anything pleasing to the ear she would just listen. Basically, she's just listening it as a means to entertain while she's doing other stuff like when she's using the laptop or reading some magazines. This makes her rather easy-going in a way, bubbly?

They labelled me as someone who likes jazz and the blues. And they call that "lazy music". So they were saying I like to live in my own "dreamy" land and lead a laid back lifestyle. I have to admit I really love the genres jazz and blues, cos I find them very soothing. Yes, if you attribute that to my way of doing things, you are probably right, but just, half-right. For all you know, I LOVE oldies as well as alternative rock and broadway musical songs. There's a variety to my listening choice though most are usually soothing ballads. Just nothing close to techno or metal rock please.

I find it very interesting to classify one's personality traits just by observing his/her way of music choice. Speaking of that, heard of music therapy from one of my colleagues. She went for a workshop and found it to be interesting but very challenging and stifled. I'm not sure about that. Though I believe that music has real healing capacities, I'm not an extremist in wanting to go in depth to study it to learn to use it in real life.

My principle is simple. I prefer to take things with a pinch of salt. That means I tend to take things light-heartedly. I don't mean to do things with zero seriousness. What I meant is not being too emotionally attached. Knowing well that I'm an emotional person, over the years, I have learnt to slowly take things light-heartedly. And in many ways, I find myself opening up to new perspectives. The good thing about this is it is a great boost to confidence. Whenever you decide to take a step back when facing a serious situation, you lessen the density of it all. And no matter how serious that situation is, as long as you are not too emotionally burdened by it due to your cheeriness and light-hearted nature, you find that more often than not you are very clear-headed and hence you are able to take a neutral point of view and step in to take the necessary steps needed to solve the issue.

There's one thing I noticed. I always thought I was quite a pessimist. Suddenly I realised I'm actually quite optimistic. Oh wow. Chao. That's a wonderful change. =) I guess it's because of my changing and "crazy" personality that made me feel this way. It is as if you are acting out a play on a stage. A happy or sad one? Really up to you to determine. You be the director, you be the actor, you be the scriptwriter, you be the background crew. Dim the lights as and whenever you like it, shine the spotlight on yourself whenever you need to. Make it a musical, sing! Make it a comedy, laugh! The bottom line is: You control your own stage.

You know, sometimes I think there's a downside to all these. Having too many ideas sometimes just make you all the more proned to being "lost" in those ideas. This means, it's hard to keep track of ideas, no matter how wonderful they may be. Whenever you ruminate about something, it's always good to jot it down for future reference and you never know it might very well be a missing puzzle to what you've be searching for. The mind is like a vast ocean waiting to be explored. The thing is to never just read the mind. Explore it.

Oops. I got so carried away with all these philosophical thoughts! Haha. Could pretty much "whip" up another article based on this topic. But then, not many people get to "intrude" my thoughts. So count yourself lucky for reading this. Hahaha.

Blah. It's like over 1am now. It's funny to know how the mind just refuses to succumb to the lateness of the night sometimes. And you know you are the controller of it all. It needs to rest soon.

A good night's rest means a good new man the next day. Oh yeah.
