Breaking The Rules

Many people have different definitions of breaking the rules, some would say doing something that we aren't supposed to, as written. For example,

Now, in other's mindset, breaking rules would be rebellious, unwise and so called 'bad', but it isn't always a bad thing if breaking some rules would bring you further up than the others. There wouldn't be handphones, televisions, or even contact lenses if people don't break the rules. Life continues without any improvement, and life will be uninteresting.

In other to succeed, one must have a different way of thinking, deeper imaginations and obviously, 'breaking the rules.' In one of my lessons, my class was asked to throw an egg from a story high to the ground without cracking the egg. We are only allowed to use masking tapes, threads, straws and a cup.

About half of my class didn't get their eggs cracked, maybe because we didn't throw it high enough and some used newspaper to wrap it around the egg, which we weren't allowed to. I, personally made something like a parachute using a plastic bag, with the egg hung by a thread in a cup, surrounded with straws. It didn't work quite well because it was not high enough for the 'parachute' to open. 

It is thinking creatively, thinking out of the box and thinking what the norms won't think of which allows us to succeed in life.

The Journey

Here I go again, stepping out of my doorsteps. Those bouquets of flowers are giving off their fragrant aroma as usual, bidding me goodbye, longing for my return. 





As I went for a walk, I saw a tree leaning towards its left, greeting me politely as she bows. 




The nature is such a friendly friend that we, humans can't live without. They are always around us in times of need, doing their best to comfort us when we are down. The shelter represents me, surrounded with different kinds of trees.







Void decks are childhood memories of every kid. I was walking pass this particular void deck, reminiscing of all the happy moments that happened. Vandalising the walls with soccer ball prints, running around the whole block and getting complained from our neighbours.




All the trees are warmly saying hello to me, especially those raising above the rest, just to capture my attention. 







 

It is Singapore's 50th birthday this year and big Singapore flags can be seen everywhere in all the blocks. Looking at these flags, I can sense strong sense of unity and harmony.





This gift I received, will be accompanying me for the rest of my life. This will also be something I would give my ultimate care and love for, and something I would treasure the most because it has a significant meaning in my life.



Looking at these beautiful flowers just outside bras basah, it brings me back to the days when I was in Japan. Their trees are filled with colourful bloomed flowers and their petals swaying left and right while falling, made me looked like I'm daydreaming in fantasy.
