Deep down, we’re all just human.

HIIII It’s Fridayyyyy. Okay, maybe it’s Sat now ;P 1:20AM to be exact. Oops :/

Anyway, I don’t know why but I’ve to write/rant this out. :X It’s a while since I had a long postt, soooo yeah *nods*

Mmm. Okay, maybe a youtube vid inspired this. But I’ve been thinking about this for a while. Yknow how sometimes we say that we should do this, do that, and sometimes our friends/parents/inspirational quotes say that we should not give up, etc. And then we’ll try to follow it. Doesn’t happen all the time though.

Actually, deep down, we’re all still human. Normal ordinary people, including celebrities, famous people etc. They’re just people in different skins. Hmm well, sometimes I don’t get why certain people like to criticise/look down on other people. No point doing that, anyway mmm LOL. :X But it’s our human nature, right? Right.

And even though people do certain things (either for their good or others), they have their own personal reasons, right? Right.

Okayyyy, I’ve no idea what I’m trying to say meep :/ Not good *shakes head* Oh welllll. Must be lack of sleep ;P

ciaoooooooo~

P.S. Link to that youtube vid: The Next Mozart? 6-Year Old Piano Prodigy Wows All What struck me most was the last part Emily Bear said: I’m just a normal kid who plays piano. And most, I like inspiring kids.”

:)

Meep. So long no post 12:25AM now and still working on chem ppt script. Darn. :/

Nevermind, short post ;P Luckily, everything’s back to normal now. Am immensely relieved and happyyyyyy! A rock seems to have disappeared from my heart too

Imperfect is the new perfect. (Shane Dawson’s vid with Caitlin. It’s AWESOME <3)
Just remember: be yourself. You don't have to be what others are, all the time. ;D Sometimes, being perfect is not exactly perfect at all. 世界上没有一个人是十全十美的! So, be who you are. And who you wanna be.

Meep. Timeout guys. Will really try to post if I've time

Okay, I think that's it!!

Anyway, shall post something that I found very meaningful. (Actually I discovered it ages ago but couldn't find the right moment to post it. And yea, it's actually quite similar to today's zong ke tian kong we did in chinese :X) It's really long, so if you don't read the entire thing, I don't blame you. But I think every word means a lot.

-start-
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings,
but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life, not life to years.

We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.

These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete…

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

-end-

Yeaaa. It’s pretty long HAHA. ACTUALLY VERY. EXTREMELY. LONG ;P

ciaooooooooooooooooooooo~ any thoughts? Comment

P.S. From facebook, A random quote: The worst part of life is waiting. The best part of life is having someone worth waiting for. So true, yes? (:

Trying hard to be thankful, though life seems so messed-up somehow.

HIIIIIII Yeah never posted for a long time oops. Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues.

So this post will cover all of it Sigh. If you look at the title, yeah it’s true. It’s just some personal stuff, not about me, but about the people around me. Okay, uhh I’ll stop now.

Really hope that this post will make me feel better sigh. I hope it does. Being thankful is really hard, when yeah :/ But then there are lots of things to be thankful for, sooo I guess it’s okay.

Anyway, going in random order ;P

Am thankful for my chinese tuition mates. Never fail to cheer me up even though our teacher has changed And a stricter one, that seems to intimidate you with her very stare :O But she teaches quite well, so yeah bear with it But with them around, our lessons still continue to be filled with laughter

Thankful for MH chat peeps once again Yeaaa, though I don’t go there so often now, coz of school

Thankful for my family Mum, for her advice and encouraging words, that seem to explode and dissolve all my worries instantly, Sis for being with me Dad for food therapy ;P Donut+Coffee Ice blended+Bubble tea ftw! ;D

Thankful for my friends, Jessica, who still keeps poking me >:[ PeiSze for talking, though our going home time is shortened by more than half Steph, for accompanying me and catching up on pri sch and stuff now. Zijun, for dragging me to lunch everytime and helping me with hw. Hmm, Junyi ;D for being with me in the monday fiasco ‘coz she also never bring tie!

(Side track a bit huh! ;P Epic story of forgotting to bring tie. For me, first time :X Stepped into school half asleep, and suddenly being shouted by Ms Fang for not wearing school tie. Then my brain, still half conscious, suddenly registered that I forgot to bring and wear tie. Instant thought: GG D: She asked me to go to Students Service Centre to borrow. Closed Only open at 9. Then my dad go ask me buy another one -.- But then bookshop 9.15 LOL.

Climbed all the way up .___. 6 storeys equals to 12 flights of ultra long stairs, with ultra heavy bag D: Later junyi came, she also forgot to bring tie HAHA. Walked by another route to avoid Ms Fang, went to Student services center. Of course closed. And here starts the epicness :X Decided to go to General Office to borrow duh :O

Peeked in first. First sighting: Dr Foo talking to counter staff. Junyi and I quickly went to the other side outside the GO and pretended to admire scenery. Then second sighting: lots of teachers suddenly walk in and out .___. FINALLY. Coast clear. Walked in and saw a male teacher and female teacher at the counter. The male teacher was talking to a parent. Then we were waiting, and suddenly he looked up. It was Mr Teo, our DM. Totally epic okay :O No offence meant, but then why must it be such a coincidence? Haven’t seen him before in GO :X LOL. Quickly ran out, laughing like crazy. People staring at us :X While walking back to class, still couldn’t stop laughing rofl. And we were like consoling ourselves with the fact that at least he hadn’t seen us waiting at the side yet. Imagine us asking him if we could borrow a school tie, and he looks up :X Again no offence meant ;P End sidetrack.)

Omg now I can’t stop laughing. WIN :X LOL. Ohh and thanks Sitong for lending me your extra school tie! (:

Thankful for people who cheer you up through sms-es. Especially when you least expect them LOL. Thanks aLtOr!!! ;P

Thankful for the people I meet, even when I’m alone on my journey back home. This is especially meant for the baby, who was crying and making lots of noise at first. But when I got down at Kembangan MRT from bus 30, he just suddenly stopped, stared at me and gave me a bright smile, that lit up his entire face. I smiled back, and then his mum also smiled back I think I fell in love with his smile, right then I still can remember how he smiled, so clearly now ;D HAHA. Can’t blame me, I love babies ;P Oh well, anyway, that just made my day, even though the baby probably didn’t realise it. The gift of a smile. And children (often young ones/babies) often don’t realise, that they unconsciously cheer up people around them with just a smile, or their mischievous antics.♥♥♥

Thankful for God, especially. So so so much Thankyou for erasing all my unfounded worries, solve most of my situations and just being there with me, all the time. ♥♥♥

Yeahh, I feel loads loads loads better and definitely happier now. Okay, this method is working wonders so far and I’m glad ;D Omg, just realised it’s going to be 1.30 am soon!! Oops Gotta print out ACE handouts and go sch read tmrw .___. Didn’t open dhs mail till today :X

ciaooooooooooooooooooooooooo~

P.S. Always think of the good things you have, especially during the times when you feel like you’ve no one left beside you, or you want something really badly but you can’t get it. Cherish what you have. 在日常生活中，我们时常没有珍惜好自己所拥有的。我们往往失去了，才懂得珍惜。“依然相信，懂得珍惜才会拥有。” It’s really so true, try it and see ;D

Thankful- Day 2

Day 2

HIIII Yesh, I’m so grumpy and tired now D: plus cramps and feeling uber cold Which is an ultra bad combination .____.

Ah wellllll. Anyway, time to post what I’m thankful for today Hopefully, it can make me feel a lil’ better.

Thankful for friday. Like finally, weekends. Don’t pass too fast!!

Thankful for teachers who extended deadlines for homework. Yayness

Thankful for MH chat peepz for talking crazily about everything and nothing at all, and makes life more full of laughter.

Thankful for church just now About how we shouldn’t chase after material goods, power, etc in this world, and forget about eternal life in the next. E.g., the priest giving the talk, gave us an example of us having two stomachs. The first could be satisfied easily by money, power, relationship, etc. But there will also be something missing, and the 2nd stomach will never be fully satisfied. God fills the 2nd stomach. Trusting in Him. Having faith in Him, that everything will go well, even when it seems like it isn’t. ;D

Thankful for being alive, and having all my loved ones and friends around me. This was brought on by the video we watched in geog today, about the 2004 Tsunami. Truly terrifying and sad Esp. the part where the reporter asked one of the surviving boys who lost his whole family in the tsunami.

Convo goes like this: (not exactly word for word though)
Reporter: What did you pray for?
Boy: I prayed that I will be able to see his family and talk to them face to face one more time.
Reporter: In this life?
Boy: No, in the next.
Reporter: So you think they are dead?

The boy just nodded, and the expression on his face was so heartbreaking Sigh. Life comes and goes like that. So I’m thankful for every moment everyday.

Yup, think that’s all for today. And I do feel better, after realising that there are many things to be thankful for in my life ;P

ciaoooooooooo~

Being thankful, and accepting yourself for who you are :)

HIIII I just realised that this is going to my first post in 2010 LOL :X

Anyway, I thought of this a few days ago actually. Haven’t really gotten around to posting it, so I’m posting now

I’ve decided to try to be thankful for at least an event/something per day Maybe this will make my life more meaningful, and happier in the process. And also give me something to look back on, at the end of this year (I’ll try to post onwards from today ;D)

Day 1
For today, I’m thankful for my bffs
PeiSze for talking with me, ranting about school and hw (!!!) on msn and on the bus,
Jessica for poking me (;p) and making me laugh HAHA.
Steph, for just talking.
Etc etc etc (:

Thankful for God, who listens to everything I say. And I always feel so peaceful after I finish talking to Him

Thankful for MH chat peepz, (though some of them finished sch alr HMPH ._.) for ranting on and on around MouseHunt, their addiction, their brand of heroin <3

Thankful for aLtOr for ranting about lots of stuff, e.g. school, napfa etc and just talking
and Jos for encouraging me on my hw, talking about school stuff etc ;P

Thankful for my crazy 4J class Esp. when the whole class went outside to talk/to just stare at the people cleaning up the pond (LOL!!) and the changing of placecards to trick the teacher and laughing crazily together

Thankful for teachers, whether new or old, for teaching us and believing in us

Thankful for my parents and sis And my mum, especially for her home-cooked food Mint chocs and kueh balu (sp?)

There, done!

And yea, here's something:
On this day of your life, we believe God wants you to know … that when you feel down, look at yourself through God's eyes.

There are times when no matter how hard you try, you just cannot accept yourself as you are. During such times, think of how you look to God's eyes. In God's eyes, there is no judgment, there is only acceptance. God sees your light when all that you can see are your shadows. God loves you more than anyone could ever love you as you really are.

This really touched me today, 'coz I was feeling really down from school, homework, etc Thankful for God's words to me too (:

Okay, backkk tooo my last stack of math :O

ciaooooooooooo~

Things to be thankful for, in 2009 :D (aka The Curtain Call for 2009)

HIIIIIII Seems like that post I promised didn’t come after all. Oops :O

Anyway, it’s real late now, or rather early. It’s 2:47am, 31st Dec 2009 Yea, I know. My body clock’s kinda screwed up nowadays pfft :/ 4 days more to sch Ohh and mainly, coz I’m scanning the com for viruses (too long never scan alr) and MouseHunt! (Like duh~)

Hmm, my main point of this post, however, is to write about the things I’m thankful for 2009 First time really writing a post on this LOL

2009 has been a rather life-changing year for me (: Well, I ain’t that sure why either. But it just feels like I’ve changed a lot. Know more things now, made more friends, grew stronger, and somehow managed to survive 2009

I’m thankful for God, who always stayed by me and gave me strength, whenever I’m weak Thank you God for also giving me the wonderful experience of Confirmation, the Retreat, the special gift on Christmas Day. Thankful for my Catechism class friends. Been together for 9 years Am sad to part with them now, but I hope we’ll be able to meet up again

Thankful for my family, my Mum who always nagged me to do my work, yet encouraged me when I felt down or when I failed pop quizzes and certain tests My Dad who always bought my sis and I all the things we wanted, gave us little treats like Smarties Ice-cream, downloaded all the handphone games for us My younger Sis, who made me laugh, though we argue sometimes Thankyou for helping me take things when I don’t feel like taking them, poking me and also irritating me

Thankful for my BFFs PeiSze, Jessica, Steph, Yueqi, Yenlin, etc For being with me, going out, writing and listening to whatever I had to say ;P And also new/old friends that I’ve grown closer to, e.g. Zijun, Sha, Mingwei, Junyi, Shuqi, Sitong, etc Thankful for my new class, with which I’m able to make so many new friends, experience the troubling and happy times of Year 3 stuff together Thankful for my chinese tuition mates, Will surely miss them and my chinese tuition centre, since I have enrolled in there since 4 years old, yknow!!! 11 years in my chinese tuition centre, how time flies Love how we can laugh and joke, even in serious situations. All the sick things we come up with. Tsktsk! And how we can laugh non-stop everytime. And the way we do our work in class Compare answers here and there, so if one question wrong, almost everyone wrong HAHA ♥

Thankful for school even, it has made my life exciting, never a dull moment Though there are really lots of homework and assignments and tests D:

Thankful for facebook, which allowed me to connect with my old friends and new friends alike All the fun games And for knowing new people from dhs, e.g. J, the other Isabel, etc

Also, I’m sooooooooo thankful for Mousehunt.Though it robbed me of sleep and made me procrastinate mostly Even though many people say this game is a boring one, I don’t really think so. Each to his/her own, I guess But through MouseHunt, I’ve met new people, bonded through the game ;D Learned the importance of gold, etc. How hard it is to earn it, and to have better saving habits surprisingly

And the Christmas Day gift that God gave me (I didn’t expect it!!) I don’t know why or what or how it happened. But I decided to log into Mousehunt chat that day Second time though. And I’m so thankful for it Made many new friends in other parts of the world, found out that many SINGAPOREANS play Mousehunt!! And even met a dhs senior inside LOL!! Yup, thankful for all the friends that helped me in MH When I was a little novice, or grandmaster (Though they probably wouldn’t see this) But anyway, thanks Calvin for the X’mas gift (1.3 mil *faints* and allowed me to get the Chrome Drillbot trap!!) And Nelly for helping me when I was a novice!! And thankful for MH chat friends, which I’ve grown close to! James aka Altor, Joseph aka Jos, Joey, Derek aka Wheeeeeee etc And all the wonderful people in the chat, e.g. Sharma, Aby, Pep, Vamp, Sammie, Luke, DR, Baki, Killer, Erratum, etc

♥♥♥ them all to bits!! (Side note: oops, that’s quite a big para about MouseHunt there. Sorry, I tend to ramble lots about MouseHunt.)

Ooh, it’s 3:12AM now 25 mins to type a post of 900 words HAHA. Longest post ever, typed in the shortest time!! So this shall commerorate the end of 2009 anyway

In short, though there are both ups and downs in 2009, I’m thankful for everything, because it has made me stronger, though I shed a great many tears. Learnt more, Gained more experience and learnt the true value of many things

P.S. Will add more stuff, if I suddenly rmb more stuff

ciaooooooooooo~
