the morphosis of time

Its amazing how time changes things, and how people change time. Time was never really changed though, but out perceptions and treatment of it made all the difference. I once read an article about how the perceptions of time changed. Before the roll out of mobile technology, people never seemed to have difficulty in meeting up. They state the time and place, and people show up early or on time just so they would not worry about whether people showed up or not, or that there was this fear that the other party would have to wait too long. But now that we have mobile phones, time became an unwilling vitcim of abuse. Time became "elastic", the supposed meeting time at 1 pm became 1.05pm, then 1.15pm, then 1.30pm, then 2pm and so on just because there is some sort of accountability, that we could always update each other about our current position and our difficulties in getting on time. Funny how these problems never seemed to take shape in the past.

The irony.

Not that I'm not guilty. I'm absolutely a perpetrator & I admit. What I'm not, is the kind who abuse not time, but their attitude toward their loved ones with regard to time. I've met people who gave excuses for not doing something which would probably only take 1 to 2 mins of their lives, but they just said "I didn't have time". I've come to learn, that phrase just basically meant "I don't really care". & that, is just disappointing, especially when it's someone important to you.

Nevermind about people who don't care, & shift the focus to people I care. Jia min's birthday celebration is being brought forward because she'll be on a trip & we'd totally miss her birthday. & in the midst of my busy exam preparation, I bothered so much to google what cake to get for her and ordered one, because she's one of the people I really really love & I can't wait to see how happy she'd be when she sees it.

I'm not sure if she'll see this. I hope not & if she didn't see it I'm so gonna laugh at her because some part of her is dying to know. LOL.

Happy bday in advance for now babe! (: <3 br="">
