Mature VS Realistic

I have always been mixed-up how people describe a person as mature or realistic.
Curious about the different meanings of Mature and Realistic, I looked up Merriam-Webster Dictionary online and found these:

Mature
based on slow careful consideration <mature judgment>

Realistic (Realism)
concern for fact or reality and rejection of the impractical and visionary

In my own words I guess realistic means you're able to differentiate between reality/fact and fantasy/dream.
Words that I think would associate with it is solid, tangible, high-possibility, safe.
(this is disasterous for children book-writers =p)

Mature is based on your consideration or judgements.
Whether how well one is able to think critically before deciding.
(does this mean fast decision-making means immature? =p as long as it careful enough?)

One can be realistic and yet immature.
But can one be mature and yet un-realistic?
Realistic is part of the sub-set for mature-thinking?
hmm... (am I learning anything here? haha... maybe I need to get an English tutor =p)
Interesting, isn't it?
Think about it.

Just another wild pondering of my brain.

Look at the stuff I have for you to ponder:

The older we get, the more mature and realistic we'll become.
TRUE or FALSE?

How do you describe an older person?
a. Mature? or just simply Realistic?
b. Their constant contact with reality makes them more
mature? or more realistic?

Think of me

Think of me, think of me fondly
when we’ve said goodbye
Remember me once in a while
please promise me you’ll try
When you find that, once again, you long
to take your heart back and be free
if you ever find a moment
spare a thought for me

We never said our love was evergreen
or as unchanging as the sea
but if you can still remember
stop and think of me

Think of all the things
we’ve shared and seen
don’t think about the things
which might have been

Think of me, think of me waking,
silent and resigned.
Imagine me, trying too hard
to put you from my mind.
Recall those days
look back on all those times,
think of the things we’ll never do
there will never be a day,
when I won’t think of you

Consequences after Ikan Bakar

YAY!!!
It's Friday!!!

Just reach home after work and dinner with my collegues... tiring.
Why am I tired? Cos I had stomach upset while driving home.
It was not just stomach upset, it was a very "terrible stomach upset".
Can you imagine the hell I went thru? (very chia-lat)
Speed my way home to get to toilet.
It was definately a sickening experience and I never wanna go thru it again.

My rating

Environment: 4 stars (given that it wasn't a rainy day)

Currently I'm having second opinions on the cleanliness there.
Had diarrhea after the dinner.
I wasn't the only victim tonight, my collegue tasted the same consequences as well.
I wonder if it's the too many sour food we had or was the food un-clean?
Never had this problem before during my last few trips.
Oh well, I hope I don't go running to toilet again *cry*

Randomness

My weekend was okay... dear was up in Penang for the weekend.
Good thing that I'm not home alone 'cos my family went down to Pangkor for the weekend.
Watched "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" at Gurney Plaza.
Did not do much that weekend, had to be home to do the housework since my mum wasn't around.
A little bored but it was okay... at least get plenty of rest at home.
Was planning to go Bukit Bendera during the weekend but that did not happen.
Had a few things in mind to do for the weekend; but did not happen as well... haiz....
Maybe some other time...
