Searching for someone who can lie down with me on a beach, underneath the blinking stars, and just talk for the whole night...

Sister is away in Malaysia, this left mother and i living alone with each other, which is an extremely rare occasion for both of us. The last time that both of us lived together was like how long? maybe about 14 years ago...???
Anyway, we went out and had dinner together and later on went shopping with her (i bet most of you will feel pretty weird, so old already still go shopping with mum, somemore it is 2 of us ONLY), but then, i don't feel anything wrong, actually i quite enjoyed it. Come to think of it, there isn't many opportunities in our lifetime that we can shop with our mums together...
While we were strolling along bugis street, the ways some people walked, dressed, the image they were presenting to the public somewhat reminded me of one quote that i read recently in "The meaning of life" by Bradley Trevor Greive.
It says, "Why do we go on and on about individuality being the very essence of who we are, and then accept a degrading level of conformity in virtually every facet of our lives?"
Yeah, why so?
Why people have to dress themselves up or act in such a way that they must attract other people's attention? Is this the correct way to interpret the word "individualism"?
What i feel is that so many people nowadays are so obsessed in TRYING to make themselves stand out from the rest that they have created a very interesting phenomenon here: there are too many of those, who want to attract attentions, that it makes them look insignificant, and to most people, they have already become a norm. On the other hand, those who do not have any intent to show off themselves have become the "endangered", and ironically, they can attract more attention with their indifference to fashion and societal perception. It is so good for them that they are not affected in anyway by societal perception and this is the attitude which i admire...
Anyway, appearance is just a thin and flimsy piece of paper. Time will tear it apart and boils people down to their true self, to their ugly side... For me, i just wana be myself, do the right things and work hard to achieve the ultimate goal of my life. Yeah!
Found some interesting pics today, just share with you guys (wink):
