Hahaha I had a VERY BUSY day but weird as well!!
Just got home from trg(:
hmmm I had 2 huge urges today. XD
okok the first was during SEL.
Mr Tan was talking about 'dating'..then he was saying what do you think it's right to start so early or blahblah.
Then I suddenly had this crazy urge to say "I'M IN LOVE!!!!" to anybody who was sitting close by.
HAHAHAHA!!! I mean serious!! I've just fallen so deep in love with the Lord! :D :D
hmmm the second one was different. In a way that i did it.
I was on the bus on the way home..it was peak so bus was jammed pack. Then my legs were about to give way cos I was exhausted and sick. But the Lord gave me strength! And I continued standing:P
I was standing at the corner behind the seats for the weaker people. I'm quite disappointed at the ppl who sit there though their perfectly fine and there are so many other needy ppl standing around! But I shall continue my story(:
I was there when the bus reached a stop. Then this man boarded..I had seen him before!!
This frail old man carrying shopping bags had boarded, and stood there in front of me. I remember the other time i saw him I had this thing set in my mind that if the bus ever jerked or suddenly stopped, I'll catch this guy and hold him and make sure he doesn't fall. Crazy!! But then I don't know why, I just had that strong feeling of sadness for him. He had that sad look in his eyes..
Well this time round, he still had the same look on his face! Then I was wondering whether I should switch places with him, cos all he had was a bar to hold, but I had a railing. But I guess my danzi tai xiao:P So then it went on..and all the time i'd see him trying to catch his balance so he would not fall onto other ppl as it was crowded.
But this time I saw that he was having a very bad running nose. I mean i could hear him sniffing with my earplugs on! Then I put my hand in my bag and searched for tissue. Then i remembered i forgot to bring today..so had to borrow from the toilet to blow my nose cos i had flu:P But I felt like i needed to do smth for him..so you know what the person with the xiao danzi did?? I took out my earplugs, bent over to the 2 young ladies sitting on the green chair with huge expensive bags and said,"excuse me, do you have tissue paper?"
Hahahaha I cannot believe i did that! Well one of them gave a packet to me and I thanked her. I took one out and returned her the packet. Then I looked at the man and said "uncle, zhe ge tissue gei nin". (err of course my chi was pronounced very horribly though XP)
Then he looked at me, with that shocked big-eyed expression, and he was still shaking cos he couldn't stand very balanced, and he was like,"bu yao,bu yao" but in the end he took it(: And then he said,"xie xie, xie xie"... The way he said it, it was like he really did appreciate wat i did, though of course i felt bad for borrowing from somebody else. So then I asked him if he would want to switch places. And he SMILED(:
Though he got off 2 stops after, I couldn't help feeling that I've made someone feel loved today! And he made me feel appreciated by just saying "thank you". After he left though, I felt that regret not to have told him as well,"ye shu ai ni!"

Haha you and Eunice look so cute:D
Though I look really really horrible in the pictures):
Ohohoh guess what.
I just heard from my sis that a boy in my ex-pri sch tried to be superman. like seriously! you know what he did??
Man, I've had dreams of doing it before, but this P6 guy totally rocks man. He jumped down from the hall, to the onning below..and then jumped to the 2nd onning! but the 2nd one gave way and he fell down. My sis says that she can see the hole on the onning from her class on the 4th floor..
As in he jumped off the side of the hall!!! whoa. What shocked me was that the boy actually asked for permission to jump from the principle. The principle said that he could 'go and try then break his neck then see whether can or not'. Well i guess he took it literally..
This is one guy with HUGE ambitions!!!!! and right before PSLE. I take my hat off for him, never thought it'd be possible. This goes to show the intellect level in my old school too huh. No wonder i don't miss it:P (oh btw, the boy is in hospital now)
But then I do feel quite..how to say..impressed? envious? wowed by him. Now there's a guy who knows no limits! If only we were to be like him (in a more safer way) in what we do, what goals we can achieve!!!! But then, everybody's just so scared of hitting the floor..no one even tries!
Haha fly!!

"People say money is the root of all evil, and actually it's the love of money that's the root of all evil. So there is nothing wrong with money if you use it right."
Haha that is what my fav series writer said(: I thought i finished the series when i completed the 8th book today! but I just found out that there's actually 16 books in total...ahhh! Haha he had another phrase in the book (actually many but there's this nice one) which he said smth like this.. "I've made many mistakes in my life, but i wouldn't change a thing. Because all of them lead to today." whoa. haha okay i changed a few words i think cos i don't want to go flipping through the 500 paged book to find it again:P So it doesn't sound that nice):
Okay I am terribly sick.
My throat is killing me. I cannot breathe in without swallowing saliva cos i can feel the air rush through..but then the water going down just stings!!! Oweeowow.
Just now i was going to cook pasta for myself..I was going into the kitchen then i started coughing. I was out of breath but i still had that feeling like i needed to cough so then, by coughing nothing, i think the force made my whole system jirk. I could feel like my gut going up..and pushing everything ontop upwards as well DX
And i have touch rugby tmr sommore..i can't even breathe properly!
As I saw you, I was reminded..of Last October. Still the same i guess. Seemingly so strong and bold..but inside, you're still a little girl. I don't know if it's me or my psychological side that makes me so 'connected' to ppl's insecure side..I just get so confused sometimes. Lord, show me the way to reach them, just like you've done to me.
Mandy(:
nothing you say is ever gna be too emo for me. You are still the bouncy little girl i'll always know!Haha I might have a few things to say about that. But I shall not get ahead of myself.
What you say is true. well the first part. People put on brave fronts..only the real brave will show their true self.
I am reminded of the time I was like that..that was the time before i 'found' Christ.
It's all down to insecurities..but I learned and found out that, no matter who you are, the Lord loves you, for His love is unconditional(: and so I guess I changed quite a bit! Haha a bit is a little understated.
But look, by saying ppl shouldn't criticize, is like criticizing the criticized..or so to speak. LOVE! :D I find it easier to love anyone, when I feel that never ending love of the Lord and Father. You said it was a chain reaction? So it is. It started from Him, but we did not wholly understand, and went for some other earthly means..but I am free now! And I'll try my very best to spread that around, but then, nothing from this world will ever satisfy our soul as much as He, for His is overflowing(: PRAISE THE LORD!!!

May I never miss a sunset or a rainbow
because I am looking down.
Prayer is kind of like calling home every day.

gosh i've just read through a lot of emo blogs recently. so excuse me pls if you find that what i'm writing is too emo for you.
in my last post, i said that blogs are not an accurate representation of a person's character or attitude i think. but, i realise people are really good at pretending. you see them at school, they are a certain type of person. then you read their blogs, and you're like WOAHHH this person can actually feel this way or something like that. you know, some people make it seem like they breeze through life without any problems. is that actually true huh? of course not! we all have problems what. so why do people need to pretend? why do people need to put down others just so they feel good about themselves?
only one word for these people: hypocrites. everybody can become a hypocrite at any time. it's actually a chain reaction. WHY? it's because others do it first to them. just like why do people become mean and selfish. because others did it first. you can read a classic example in jodi piccoult's ( did i spell her name right?) nineteen minutes. it contains all the answers for people who were first horrible to another person and then later something big and unexpected happens usually due to the other person, and the same first person turns around and asks, " How could that have happened?" really ironic la.
anyway i just wish that people would stop thinking they are the best people in the world and then go around critisizing others on what they did or didn't do. like hello? you think you know the other person so well, the truth is you don't know and you don't give a shit about them either. you're not even their family, whatever they do in their life is truly none of your business. if people need your help, they can jolly well ask it from you! stop giving critical comments, people don't want or need it. and pls stop pretending to be someone you're not.
mark twain once said, 'if you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.' similarly, if you're yourself all the time, you don't have to act and pretend and feel all lousy and low in confidence because deep down inside, you know people are liking you for the right reasons. and you don't have to scared that they'll ever look through your mask and see you for who you are, because you're always being youself. so please, if people like you, it's because they truly like you for who you are, not who you TRY TO BE.

hello!
well so sorry guys i couldn't go for training today. i had a bad headache and i felt like vomitting during the last period. its like there was something in my throat and i felt like....bleahhh just get it all out pls!
you know, some people think blogs are like personal online diaries. since when man? when you post something online, the whole world can see whatever you feel/think/did. even if you make something private, the hackers can still get in. and you have to be oh-so-careful whatever you post, cos there's always the chance you could get caught for slander or something. maybe that's why i feel that blogs do not represent a person's true thoughts or feelings sometimes. you can't judge anyone from their posts, cos of course they will not be stupid enough to post anything that will get them into trouble.
the point i'm making is, there is just no substitude for a handwritten personal diary sometimes. yes, as ancient as that idea sounds in this day and age, it's still one of the many wonders that ANYONE who can read and write can have access to. besides, don't you agree that sometimes, you don't want ANYONE to know what you really feel deep down inside, so we either write it down or go to God with our problems/thoughts because we all live in a conditional world. and we have our deepest darkest secrets.
ok i dont know why today my post sounds so deep and emo...well, anyway, just the other day, i read on someone's blog the questions, 'Who would you want to be for a day?' My immediate answer was either Maria Sharapova or Ana Ivanovic. I really wanna know what it's like to be a famous tennis star, to be rich, famous, good-looking, great at tennis, young and in their prime all at the same time! i want to play at wimbledon, meet rafael nadal, etc. the experience would just be so surreal(well, it is surreal, to begin with) But then a day isn't enough. At least a week is more realistic. Maybe then I will appreciate what I truly am but also understand hot it feels to be them.
so then back to the question. WHO?? actually i can't think of anymore. maybe being myself isn't that bad after all. sure, my life isn't perfect. my grades, character, looks, friends, family, they are all not perfect. but hey, like ms cheang once said, perfect is boring. i've got a good life, i have received and know God, i've got clothes, food, education, a home, friends, family, plenty of opportunities actually. i'm really blessed by God when you consider half the world lives in poverty. WOW. just thank god so much. so people, when you feel like griping and complaining, just put things into perspective and count your blessings. if not for the grace of god, we could have been living in sichuan, china and in school when the earthquake occurred. i'm just really grateful for everyone and everything. i know this sounds really cliche but that's how i feel. my heart really goes out to those affected by the natural disasters happening in the world today, as well as to those who live in poverty. i pray that God will take good care of you all, and be your stable rock and shepherd always. God bless.
