so tell me...
would you rather fancy living in a condo along orchard road which looks like pig sty inside? orrr.... a clean 3 room HDB flat in woodlands equipped with the cool gadget, zen theme layout, equipped with latest gadgets and entertainment systems .. ok i shall not proceed blabbering abt my dream home.
with the options above not to be changed, im sure, 'normal' people would rather chose the later.
my point for blogging this is not really related to living conditions but to actually to put a thought to what's roaming in my mind. im trying to reiterate the point of looking good on the outside but rotten inside. and vice versa'ly to the normal looking outside, and jaw dropping inside.
i think this theory applies on all sorts of things. be it on a person, be it to a work place, be it on a piece of clothing ....
dont you think so??!

well, if i was actually living in a condo along orchard road it would be absolutely immaculate. if i can well afford a condo in such a prime district, i think i can jolly well afford a domestic helper rite? ;)
everyone has a different perspective on how their dream home would be like. so i don't think its fair to say that if someone doesn't have the same perspective as your dream home, it makes them abnormal rite?
but in the case of a person being ugly on the outside and beautiful on the inside (and vice versa)..hhmm.. in most cases, i don't think anyone would actually say that they would prefer someone that is ugly on the outside and beautiful on the inside. face it, appearance does matter. i do actually know people who proclaim that they would only date a slim, drop-dead gorgeous babe.
but i think once we can see how beautiful a person is on the inside, their beauty is automatically portrayed. and the same way if we can never see pass the rotten-ness of a person, a so-called beautiful person will never be beautiful in your eyes.
beauty truly is in the eyes of the beholder.
beauty lies in the eyes of beholder... but you forgot abt the "love is blind" part.hehehe...
i've always wanted to be that shabbily dressed person with a good personality. guess that didnt happened. the shabby remains, the good personality just didnt appear.
Somehow, the looking good outside dont really fancy me as much as looking good inside. true to what you said i was being unfair to rate abnormalties my own way.
i was brought up to practise the best of both kinds... the looking good inside and outside regardless of which aspects of 'genre' im referring to. but i cant really seem to highly regard the presentable surface is of more importance than internal beauty.
i cant even imagine u'll need a maid if u are living in a condo in orchard road. You'll probably go shopping with Som, your funny domestic helper. Rohai might just be busy at the swimming pool.
well, adding on to what alyson mentioned above, surface appearance does matter. i personally feel that it primarily holds a bigger importance than internal beauty. we are judged by how we look and how we present ourselves. we can go ahead and argue all we what to say that internal beauty matters blah blah blah but we must not forget that we do live in a superficial world and we are controlled by the majority which determines how society movies along. and yes, if you're ugly, then too bad.
the thing is, before you can see the beautiful person that is inside another being, we do tend to size them up from the outside first. you know, to see if their "nice" or not. so we're naturally inclined (knowingly or unknowingly) critical people. if our already predetermined mindset tell us that ugly people don't deserve a second chance (look), do you think you will actually take that reverse effort to get to know that person? i personally don't think so. what do you think?
at the end of the day, make things simple. just let people believe in what they want to. just let people have their own ideals. imposing our own "good" mindset on them isn't giving them the opportunity to be themselves. for who are we to tell another that our opinion is right and this is how it shall be done, cause we deem it as "good"? now that's something to ponder about ...
Cheers
of cos sayeeth... why would leave the ugly one out? would you rather have a hottie who's attitude is like shit thru your life or would u rather an OK looking partner who will compliment how your life works?
Hate to admit that we are living in the superficial world where anything on the surface matters most, but who's paying attention on the inner layer? we're all to blame. I believe bottomline, its down to risk and a little luck.
take choosing a business partner instead... now that will make u ponder a little wouldnt it?
Opinions on the other hand has neither right nor wrong answers. Of course one would give the best suggestion to what they were thinking... but for the receipient, it's up to them to make it to use or let it fly out of the window.
I have a character where i wouldnt dare suggest or advise on things which i think i sucked at.
eventually, internal beauty somehow will be tops.
