A little somthing to share:

幸福是圆的还是扁的?

如果你手中拿的是圆的, 心里想的是扁的, 你不会幸福。

如果你手中拿的是扁的, 心里想的是圆的, 你也不会幸福。

不管你手中拿的是圆的还是扁的, 只要越看越喜欢, 你就会很幸福了。

幸福就是懂得知足。


Exams ending on 2nd Dec! Can't wait!

Remember a few months ago I said that I applied for a student exchange programme in China? I got it!!! Will  be spending a semester in Beijing at Peking University. I will be away from Feb

I guess its time I came to put a conclusion to things.  

After such a long time, I realised that I'm more upset over the way he handled things rather than the final outcome in the end. He just left things unresolved and walked away. yikes! What happened to our meet up? If he had sat down and talk to me nicely, I would understand. Sometimes a simple sorry and a little respect would be nice. Is that a lot to ask for? =.=What


Oh well. Enough of that. So I took a final look-through and closed it for good. On to the better things in life!

人而无信，不知其可也。大车无輗，小车无軏，其何以行之哉？

意味人若不讲信用,就像车上没有横木一样, 是行不通的

现实有咒诅 梦里有祝福
有缘同舟 风雨同渡


顶着烈日当空 眼底有迷雾
不能再让懦弱困住
日子多坎坷 命运有变数
只盼久旱逢甘露

走出去就有路
寻见了 就有福

Yes I'm finally back from Union Orientation Camp! This year, I went back as a senior instead of a freshie. The feeling sure is different. To think of it, it was really amazing that I even got to know all these amazing people because I didn't even apply for Union Camp last year. But got in when Pei Si was told that there were last min vacancies due to people backing out and I decided to give it a try.

It is true that sometimes we judge people too early. Like what Alwyn said about not expecting me, Kim Heng and Wei Ting to stay throughout the trip, I didn't expect myself to stay either. Many a time I wanted to give it a miss but in the end, I felt bad because Alwyn really needed help. And I'm really glad that I went in the end.

The freshies are really cute when they do that bimbo cheer. Go Vizar! Go Vizar!

One thing about NTU camps is not they are secretly hokkien crash courses in disguise. So many hokkien cheers! Ho ar ho ar jin jia ho ar~

After going back as a senior, I really appreciate my seniors even more. As a freshie, all you have to do is play, eat and sleep. And the rest of the stuff will be taken care of. But its really different being a senior where you have to ensure that things get moving. It’s a lot of behind-the-scenes work that people don’t get to see.  It was a really memorable experience. J

Now that camp is over, I’m still as busy as ever. Our English course is starting soon and there are still a lot of things to be done! I volunteered to be an interpreter so I’ll be spending a lot of time practicing my sign language. Oh yeah, I passed my Basic Sign Language Level 2 test! I think so did everyone else. Woo hoo! Just one more course and we would have completed the basic level! And we managed to get HSBC’s sponsorship so yay! Don’t need to do canvassing!

I haven't been updating for the longest time. Everything has been great these few months! But recently an incident made me very upset.


I don't like to force people to do things they don't like. If anything, I'd rather they just tell me directly. At least we won't have to waste each other's time. But I really dislike it if people just drag things on, when actually they are not very willing to help.
 

The course starts in August and I’m very pressed for time. I’m not upset that you can’t help or don’t want to help but you don’t even bother to give me a definite answer. Whether you are willing to help or not, I would need a definite answer. I don’t mind it if you do evaluations, interviews and what not, so long as you can give me an answer. But not ask me to wait for 5 weeks and you’ll see how things go then.

Is that really the best that you can give?

 

I’m greatly disappointed. Whatever empty promises you have made in the past, I just let it go. But this is for charity. How could you do this to me? If this is my personal stuff I won’t even be so mad. Why make me wait and wait for your reply like an idiot if that’s the best response you can give me. Why offer to help me personally if you are not willing to see it through?
 

To think I stood up for you when my friend doubted your sincerity in helping me. Time and time again, I gave you chances but this is what you gave me. If I tell people I’m not dumb, I don’t think anyone will believe me. I think I deserve a standing ovation.
 

You just didn’t want me to ask you for help again. Whatever it is, you can just tell me directly. I won’t ask you for help again. 

Tomorrow Never Comes
By Norma Marek

 

If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly, and pray the Lord your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss, and call you back for just one more.

If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would tape each word and action, and play them back throughout my days
If I knew it would be the last time, I would spare an extra minute or two,
To stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming you know I do.

So, just in case tomorrow never comes, and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you, and I hope we never will forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.

So, if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day
That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss,
And you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear,
That you love them very much, and you'll always hold them dear.
Take time to say "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me," "thank you" or "it's okay".
And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today
