every day i wake up, and i try, and i strive, to be this
SUPER HAPPY GIRL
you'll never know me
but you may know my name

carrie yeo.
Is a walking contradiction.

Happy-go-lucky yet emotional.
Over-confident yet suffers from inferiority complex.
Love to sing yet afraid of the stage.
Always hopeful about the future but always living in the present.
Adventurous in bigger life experiences like joining Project Superstar but very cowardly in trivial thrills like monkey bars.

Always fighting with herself in the mind like there are 5 Carrie's in there.

Blogging is a way to straighten out thoughts for her.
Blogging is a way for her to leave clues for herself,
so that in ten years time,
Carrie might start to understand herself better....

driving frees my mind
and so i tweet.


over coffee, we agree...
to disagree.


but there's always help
when you are looking.

I think Anon misunderstood what I was trying say in the previous post. Let me share with you a story. I found this piece of news online.

(source: http://news.idoican.com.cn/lnrb/html/2008-05/01/content_4608867.htm)

"路遇摔倒的老人,你是扶还是不扶?
  最近,郑州有一名骑车女子,被网友称为“郑州彭宇”,因为她在路上扶起一名被撞伤的老太太,却被家属指为撞人者,她于是上网寻找目击者为她作证。
  “彭宇”正在成为一个代称——如果你扶起摔伤的路人,有可能你就是肇事者。“彭宇案”宣判中原话如下:“从常理分析,他与老太太相撞的可能性比较大。如果不是彭宇撞的老太太,他完全不用送她去医院”。
  好一个“常理推断”!这个“常理”的假设前提是,人心本恶,人们遇到无回报、有风险的事情,本能反应是逃避。
  按这个“常理”推断,那就是郑州女子擦伤了老太,然后以助人为乐的名义将她扶起,然后上网寻求目击者做假证,然后为自己的肇事行为做掩护。
  这怎么能不让人担心,在一个个的“彭宇”之后,这样的“常理”会真的成为常理:把每一个他人的困难都当作麻烦的漩涡;把每一次正常的帮扶当作居心叵测?这样的“常理”,不但会葬送掉社会信任,亦会葬送掉很多弱者获得及时援助的机会,同时,葬送掉万一自己需要帮忙时的受助机会。
  应该坚信,举手之劳、助人为乐,才是生活中的常理。"

In case your chinese is not good, Let me explain in plain english.

Recently in China, a girl who was riding a motorbike, saw an old lady knocked down, lying on the floor. She then stopped her motorbike to help her up. It was a kind gesture but instead of gratitude, family of the old lady sued her for knocking down the old lady.

Another example that's probably closer to you. One day you bought a packet of orange juice and you leave it in the fridge. Then 2 days later when you felt like drinking the orange juice, you walked to the kitchen and saw your brother drinking a packet of orange juice! You immediately think that your brother drank your orange juice!!! Only to find another packet of orange juice in the fridge. (which means that your brother bought another packet of orange juice, in case you din understand that too)

Many things in life, are filled with assumptions and perceptions. Just like I was saying, when you see a baby in pink, you'll assume that's a baby girl. But can you be sure???

All I'm saying is, there are many sides of one person and not the judge a book by its cover. And I was merely showing you other sides of diya which I believe many of you might not have seen before. Why do you have to say all those ugly words?

And JUST because I defend her I'm WAT????? I love all my friends. If any of them is being insulted like that, being hurt like that, I'll definitely stand up and defend them.

Oh and you said, "if you are angry I WON"????? So, your sole purpose of coming here and saying those words is to HURT US? And to make us ANGRY?????

If we don't mean anything to you, stop coming here to hurt us. These comments will hurt people we love as well. Just go away quietly....
