Radiohead’s MTV official video clip for their song All I Need.
it affected me. much.

a pair of shoes connecting two different boys from different sides of the world.
at one side, a young boy seem to have everything he could have wanted, a good life, education, play, proper food. when at the other end, a child of the same age could have such a different life, working for the sake of having some food to eat a day, a roof to shelter. i have the sudden thought that the very pair of shoes i wear are somehow the work of a young child.

let’s learn to be more grateful, ok, Seri. people and children are suffering somewhere around the world. we should not whine and complain when things don’t go our way or we can’t get the things we want. some children don’t even get the basic things they need! they won’t even know the very concept of ‘want’ just because their ‘need’ are not met~

i’m reminded of this prose: if we think we have a problem, other people have problems too. there will be no end if we are to measure who has the bigger problem. just move on and get over it.

ps: if you’re from catholic jc and staying in hougang some years ago, say in the year 2000-2001, could you drop a word or two…..because someone who used to study there has something which was mine, and i need it back. and the problem is, this someone is beyond reach.
