something came over me as i was looking at these pictures over at cuteoverload.com.

i don’t know how exactly to describe it, but it was kind of like tenderness, warmth, and cynicism all mixed together.

looking those pictures of the interaction between two species of animals who are in a human-defined predator-prey relationship somehow makes me feel that wild animals, and nature as a whole, have been grossly misunderstood by a lot of us.

yes, wild they may be, and brutal they may be, but as far as i know, animals do not frivolously or recklessly kill other animals for reasons other than to feed or defend themselves. or maybe they do, i don’t know. but i haven’t yet heard of any species of animal that goes on a killing spree for either its own amusement or for some other kind of warped reason that only they themselves can comprehend.

maybe i am romanticising or even anthropomorphising the wild… but sometimes it does seem that nature and her wild animals can be more humane than us humans.

this may sound incredulous (or maybe not) but i am actually speaking more korean here in singapore than i did in korea.

even when i lived in korea, i never had to speak korean almost non-stop for 8 hours per day, five days a week.

it’s good, of course, but the only problem is… because i have to really focus and concentrate in order to catch what my customers are saying (my god, i don’t even know how i managed to figure out some of their dialectal accents), i am totally drained by the end of the day. -_-

am not complaining of course, i couldn’t be more grateful to be able to get such a chance to use korean to this extent… and to land a job that seemed tailor-made just for me. (on a side note, this being christmas season and all, having to stare at the products all day is really not helping! i so feel like getting a new desktop, even though i don’t need it as my trusty macbook is still serving me well. but i love the new unibody design..!! and the new magic mouse…. i’m using it at work and it is seriously sexayyyyy.)

anyways, i am going to hang in there, and hopefully i’ll be able to improve my fluency in 3 months.

???!!!

on a random note, 2NE1′s i don’t care is stuck in my head now.

i don’t care, eh eh eh eh eh~~
