You've Changed 56% in 10 Years

You've done a good job changing with the times, but deep down, you're still the same person. You're clothes, job, and friends may have changed some - but it hasn't changed you.

change... that's an interesting topic, don't you think?

Some people are really afraid of change. But what's there to fear? As Goh Chok Tong (or some other important Singapore politician) said once on some rally, this is an era of change. The only constant is... CHANGE. (ironic huh?) It's all about how fast we can adapt to change now. Like in technology, seriously, we are ridiculously smart people to be able to keep up with the changing IT world. We are constantly upgrading our gadgets, constantly upgrading our computers, updating ourself with the hottest sites (one minute it's friendster, another minute it's facebook). Roads are changing all the time. Buildings. Schools are moving all over the place. The weather is going crazy.

So, my point is... change is inevitable. Have I changed since I joined the showbiz?

I think inevitably I have changed. I have changed my lifestyle, since my working hours are very irregular. It's no longer working from 8-5pm, followed by dinner time when I am free to meet my family and friends. Now I can't meet my friends as regularly, regrettably. I have changed my hair style, I have to look young and not "serious and mature" anymore. I used to have permed hair so that I can project a more mature look at work (heh heh). Inevitably I changed my wardrobe too, from corporate to casual.

But I am still who I am. Just like the test result. I am good at changing with times, but I'll always be the person that I am.

I really hate it when people say I changed just because I joined the entertainment circle. bleah. So cliche. These people just want to fit me into some kind of typical behaviour. Like if you joined showbiz, u must have changed. DUH!!! watever.

I know "someone" is very afraid that I'll change, and keep on writing notes to me "begging" me not to change. She said that I have changed, asked me to go back to the carrie yeo that she knew. This person has upset me again today by messaging me and saying that i'm no longer the Carrie Yeo she knew. Sorry girl, actually I barely know you. How can you know if I have changed? And so what if I did? Have I done anything to harm you? Whereas on the other hand, you are always sms-ing and accusing me of this and that, "you are very fierce", "your eyebags are very heavy", "you have changed" I'm most insulted by the last one. So are you just out to spoil my day??? every now and then, just to poke at me and make sure I'm unhappy? Please stop it. I have had enough already. Maybe you never meant to hurt me but you did. (Pls see previous post for what I think abt ppl who never meant to hurt) I like to keep my days happy and bright and sunny. But your smses always upsets me. So maybe you wanna stop sms-ing me. Thanks!
