Happy Bday Alwin! We went to celebrate at Brewerkz during the evening...there were abt 14 of us. Food there is not very nice but the drinks are good! I had Strawberry Daiquiri, but the Mango one that Laura ordered tastes even better! After dinner some of us went to chill out at the bridge outside. I have some sweet memories of that place, especially the beautiful bridge there :) Hope everyone is happy, and Alwin you must be extremely happy ok!

There's something I noticed about, people like to criticize more than compliment. I don't understand why people wanna make each other feel bad? It might be a casual remark but I'm sure you mean it that's why you said it. It doesn't have to be those upfront confrontation like "Hey you seem to be fatter now". Words like "You should stop eating so much" is just as bad. Have you thought of how would you feel if you're on the receiving end? The one who's being criticized? Personally I don't have this habit of criticizing people, for e.g, "Your top doesn't suit you", "Your tummy is bulging out", etc. Even if I feel that way towards someone I don't say out. I keep to myself and only comment when they ask for my opinion. Like for e.g friend is wearing an ugly top, I won't straightaway say "Wah your top not nice la". Unless she asks me if her top is nice, I would say no if it's really not nice. I mean what's the point of criticizing and end up hurting the person? I'm especially sensitive to people saying me fat. I get very conscious of myself. I will think about it for days. Since I know how bad it feels, I respect my friends and I don't say things like that to hurt them. In conclusion: If you got nothing nice to say, just keep quiet.
