maybe i think way too highly of myself, but it seems that it may not be easy to classify me. who am i, what do i appear like to people?
i can be amazingly singaporean heartlanderish, but also amazingly foreign, american.
today at the debrief for group work for the conflict resolution module glynson called me the most "conscientious and meticulous slob" around. whatever that means.
and allen said with some humour that i could be amazingly superficial, and amazingly deep.
and a long time ago kash called me "rojak".
not that it really matters. to know who i am, what i stand for in this world of 6 billion people. to know my place in this world, to know my actual identity, and not be a mere product of circumstance. that, to me, is so much more vital than people's perceptions of oneself.
perhaps people's perceptions of me are as confused as my perceptions of myself.

You are more aware of the complexities of identity as opposed to people who just accept what people think of them and what society expects of them. Moreover, it is a priority to you. Life is continual reaching, not just externally but internally as well, so you will continue to tackle such issues until you die. Your desire to subvert such expectations also contributes to your confused self.
Haha i sound like an astrology report.
