Friends, Pinkdot, Movie

LOL my eyes are frigging shutting now... si bei tired after a whole day of outing... !st met some some friends for lunch at clarke quay at the ba kut teh store. Then later went down to the pinkdot event after which we went for dinner at crystal jade, then the movies watching Green Lantern. Tired! haha.

Today I've met up with some familiar friends from blowing wind forums that I have previously met up before. But it was also great seeing people that I have chatted online but have never met before. Going to pinkdot was really good. There wasn't much that we could do there, it was friggin humid... but I feel the company there was great.. was happy going there with friends and new friends, meeting familiar faces. It was just great to be there.. to feel and take in the whole atmosphere of acceptance n familiarity. It may not have been the most interesting place or event, but it was a good experience. To be there and be thankful that the lgbt community is gaining more awareness with each and every passing year.

It may not look much now, where this is heading and where much acceptance from other singaporeans may still be lagging behind and lacking, but to know there is a continual awareness being made, it is encouraging. And just like the movie Green Lantern, stating about having the energy of will to overcome fear.. courage... I believe we can use this energy we have in our hearts... in our beliefs to have a continual hope for the betterment of greater acceptance. If we ajs or lgbt people do not have good hope and energy to believe for our betterment, what more will the public perceive us as?? If we don't give ourselves hope, it's harder for people that do not exactly understand or that can relate to us to accept us. Gotta keep on keeping on, striving on brothers n sistas! =)
