what I learned to do as a teen. You may say I lie, but I think there is a difference between the two. For example, I really disrespect someone, but I don't have to tell him or anyone else how I feel about him. Do I?
is as high as that in Singapore. My hotel windows face the 4th Ring, and the traffic is busy even at mid night. I don't know where these people are heading to. How much I wish to open the window for some fresh air, but I give in to noises...
