hello(:
first day of Term 2 , week 2:)
everything was quite okay
except for consultation with ms krishnan :(
aiyah. i think this is the period whereby
all my flaws for my studies start showing
and it's probably a signal that
i should start REALLY mugging...
i wasted too much time
and if i were to waste some more time
my Al'vls surely CMI :(
positively speaking,
i still have some time
but negatively speaking,
time is running out ><
i agree that my 2 main flaws are that
1. i live in self-denial
2. i overestimate myself
haha(: it's kind of sad
but at least i recognize my own flaws
after all,
no one's perfect(:
if there's any period of time where i should really be mugging
it should be NOW.
i'm going to evolve into a full-fledged mugger!(:
good luck to me!:D LOL(:
oh and another impactful thing that happened today
was CLL lesson
whereby wu lao shi got really agitated
not in the angry way but rather in the way where something personal to you makes u agitated...
living in singapore really paints a wrong picture of the world
frankly speaking,
the world is indeed full of negativity
poverty, crime, drugs,murder,rape,incest, theft etc
i don't ever think there's going to be a day
where the world would be 100% positive
but there's nothing wrong with that
because in life,there are always 2 sides:)
and the balance exists for a reason:)
why is it that people out there in the world
can commit crimes without feeling guilty?
why is it that people out there in the world
choose to give up on their lives?
why is it that people out there in the world
are so hypocritical?
aren't we all human beings?
aren't we all capable of being happy, being positive
and working hard for a better life?
does one's environment really determine who he turns out to be?
thought provoking questions indeed.
since we are all humans,
we are all capable of determining who we want to be
determining what we want to be
but sometimes, we can't help but get dragged away to the path of no return:(
its a sad fact of life.
but this doesn't mean that no one will come and save you
and get you back on track(:
the world is indeed filled with darkness
just like how
the world is indeed filled with hope(:
we either live our life in hope or in darkness
and our decision has the power
the power to influence other's decisions
the power to impact people
the power to change our lives
change the lives of everyone for the better(:
its a matter of choice(:
we choose who we want to be :D
and we should respect each other for that.
but we need help from time to time
to remind us of who we should really choose to be(:
we need hope in our life(:
we need to learn to hope, learn to believe and learn to love(:
we need to learn to appreciate's people's kind intentions,
appreciate their smile, appreciate everything around you (:
it's never too late to show your appreciation...
i appreciate the advice for my studies and
to show my appreciation,
i will work hard:D
JIAYOU(:

hello(:
i'm still feeling quite touched
over a part of the taiwanese drama
which i watched just now(:
awwww :D if only something like that will happen to me in future (=
HAHA (:
anyway, today was a productive day(FINALLY) :D
okay maybe not THAT productive
but when compared to the previous days of my life:(
its QUITE productive (:
but it's tough:(
seriously very very tough.
and there were many times whereby
i wanted to give up and succumb to temptation to slack and give up
but i thought of wad miss leong said to me
and the constant encouragements in the sms-es from my bro
gave me the motivation and made me perservere (:
thank you! :)
but now, the question is
how to maintain it? o.O
sadly to say- my willpower is still very weak:(
aiyahhh.
i know i shouldn't keep complaining and whining about my studies
but haiz. haha XD
i must give it my best
so as not to let the people around me disappointed...
JIAYOU (:

hello(:
just came back from Chinese Society(Senior High) concert :D
it was FANTASTIC (:
although the performances were quite ordinary
but the effort and sincerity behind it was indeed visible (:
and EVERYONE acted very well!(:
they managed to make each performance very real and nice (:
plus the props were good and so were the sound effects(:
in overall, i think it was a commendable and wonderful first time :D
i'm really proud of them
maybe because there are many people involved in this production in my class
maybe because some of these people are the key people involved
and i can really see their efforts, the stress they face, the tired-ness in them
maybe because i know how tiring preparing for a performance can be
(reminded of CS qing chun xuan lv in the past :D)
maybe its because i know many people involved in this CS production
maybe because of my past relationship with CS
haha no matter what it is (: im really proud and happy for them :D
its always heartwarming to know
when the equation of what you reap is what u sow comes true (:
the effort that they put in gave them the success that they deserved:D
and i guess this serves as a reminder for
the upcoming SYF and dance concert ><
anyway, during the ending,
there was this moment of nolstagia within me ><
i think coz i was kind of reminded by qing chun xuan lv ending
haha - my days in junior high CS(:
memorable and probably when im old, these memories will be whats left of my secondary sch memories (:
sometimes, i wonder how it would be like if i stayed on in CS (:
well , not that im regretting anything
but still, its interesting to ponder about the " what if"s in ur life (:
anyway, i must really start to jiayou le ><
i feel the STRESS:(
nvm, i shall BELIEVE(:

hello(:
SUPER TIRED :(
stayed back in school to study
while waiting for my father who was going to fetch me at 10pm (:
quite an interesting study session
and it was pretty productive too (:
especially during the times whereby the whole canteen
was empty except for me (:
it was kind of freaky if you think about all the horrible stories
about the school
but i couldn't recall any of them so i guess i was quite safe(:
anyway, i chatted with 2 more random people-
rui xian and gloria(:
and i got to know that my reputation in the level is actually a " CSC person/girl"-.-
haha XD
but i'm super tired now:(
shall go and sleep now and blog more bout tmr (:

hello!(:
argh. i have a test tomorrow
and yet i'm worrying and frustrating myself over finding people to go to this cip on sat:
SADeaf Walkathon-
a walkathon organised by the Singapore
from the organisation headquarters at Mountbatten
to
the Esplanade (:
there will be tshirts and goodie bags
and a guest of honour will be coming too :D
people taking part in the walk- besides the hearing impaired people
are students from various pri schs, sec schs, jcs and ites(:
i think its a good cip
and if i didnt had dance
i 'll go (:
and i can tell they really need volunteers :(
so i feel bad if i dun get them volunteers:(
SIGH.
ARGH.
but its time for me to place academics over everything, right?
haiz.
sometimes i dunno why i find it so hard to focus on whats best for me :(
someone recently told me that
theres no point in going for CIPs with the wrong attitude
well, if we're living in an idealistic world
thats true .. but we are not, we are living in reality..
i would like to believe in everyone's altruistic aims doing CIP
such as fundraising
but seriously, coz even i am not that altruistic in doing such CIP
plus i think im getting more and more used to being rejected when i ask pple if they
want to go for this CIP..
maybe its my fault for not doing a good job of introducing certain CIPs to attract people to go
but similarly, its a choice ultimately made by each individual
and i think that attitude can be changed over time(:
it doesn't matter if one is forced to do certain CIPs
because it might be a blessing in disguise
it might turn ou to be a turning point for people(:
maybe its a too positive thinking
but theres no harm in believing that people change for the better:D
jiayou to me!(:

hello(:
feeling kind of weird now...
can't really describe this feeling but it's not a very positive feeling...
:(
sometimes i wish there was someone who truly understood me
but yet i know that i'm not one who lets people into my world of thoughts easily-
it's ironic
because i want help people and i want them
to let me into their world of thoughts
so that i can be there and help them
(:
but yet, i resist that .. personally. OH WELL.
im a complicated person ><
nvm , i shall believe that someone will come along(:
for now, i got to jiayou :D

hello(:
it's the second day of Term 2!
Term 2 has been quite okay so far...
considering that only 2 days have passed-.-
but i realised that i've been feeling quite tired nowadays
which i think its an aftereffect and retribution for
sleeping so late in the holidays :(
sighh.
i shall start to sleep earlier!(:
hopefully! :D heheh...
anyway, sadly to say,
i have been labelled a " NATO" by miss leong ><
haha XD
it stands for
" No Action, Talk Only"
-.-
ahhh but i think it's quite true:(
reminds me of a comment made by someone about me:
that im more of a planner , not a do-er -.-
but it's bad:( procrastination makes it worse:(
i shall resolve to STOP procrastinating and JUST DO ,
its going to be very tough, especially when it comes to such things
because my willpower is very weak when it comes to such things >.<
oh well- there's no choice because i'm only given ONE chance
so i shall give it my best and believe(:
because i know miracles happen when people believe :D
i know that there are probably many more people feeling
more and more stressed and depressed over academics
but , just remember that no matter what, life still goes on(:
academics aren't everything in life but rather,
they're part of life(: part of a memory , a journey
which you're going to look back upon fondly in future:D
just persevere all the way :D
each time you feel like giving up,
go outside, close your eyes and take a deep breath
and tell yourself that :
everything will turn out fine(:
it's not self-denial but rather choosing to take on the challenges in life
with a positive mindset :)
everyone needs encouragements(:
be it self encouragements or encouragments from others,
it helps you to move on , a happier person :D
ask yourself what you are studying for:
i know many people dont know what they are studying for
because they haven't realised what they want to be
or what they are going to be(:
but it's okay, no matter what we are studying for,
no matter what we turn out to be in the future,
we will definitely be impacting others :D
and so we study so as to impact others positively next time (=
at least that's what i choose to believe in :D
every one has a purpose in life
and how each person's life turns out
trains that person to achieve his/her purpose
so never ever doubt the purpose of everything in your life(:
things happen for a reason :D
studying happens for a reason :D
every bad result, every bad relationship, every bad thing
happens for a reason
and once we can understand that,
lets move on in life and see how each experience will mould us to be
who we truly will be in the future :D
for now, we need to believe in ourselves and trust that as long as we give it our best,
we can do it :D
anyway, came across some pokemon songs which are really nice :D
especially " you can do it if you really try"(:
the lyrics are inspiring :D close your eyes and listen to them :D
it helps (:
enjoy(=

hello(:
life is so magical
it's filled with so many choices,
so many obstacles and challenges
and yet people still love it(:
maybe some won't agree with me
because not everyone loves life
some find life to be a burden
some find life troublesome, sad, depressing
some see no meaning in life
some want to change their life but they can't
but still, i want to believe that all these negative perceptions towards life
are just a process
towards really understanding the real meaning of life
really understanding what you can do with your life(:
instead of what others can do for you.
i like the feeling of bliss(:
okay fine,who doesn't?
but not everyone feels blessed easily><
maybe what we should do is to learn how to feel blessed easily :D
appreciating is what we should be doing in life(:
appreciate every moment,
appreciate everything
appreciate your family, friends , all the people around you who care
appreciate everything for being what it is (:
learn to appreciate.
and you'll find life more beautiful than you could ever imagine :D

hello(:
spent practically the whole of today outside >.<
went for dance in the morning(:
but before that, was kind of feeling irritated by SOMEONE-
whom i shall not name since he's not worth it haha XD
headed down to woodlands after dance to meet hidayat :D
thanks to joanna for the lift to paya lebar <33
anyway, it was my first time to woodlands
and woah- causeway point has ALOT ALOT ALOT of shops
and places to eat lah!(: im amazed haha!
ate dinner with hidayat
and had a very nice chat for around 2+ hours(:
it was indeed destressing and enjoyable for me
coz i LOVE listening to people talk(:
although that can be a flaw because
i CAN'T resist it when people ask me out for talks/chats
especially when it's for their benefit(:
e.g. like they need someone to confide in, etc(:
i hoped it was destressing and enjoyable for him too!(:
i learnt many new things through our chat today :D
and i hoped i managed to brighten up his day today
(: and gave him a happy memory (:
i think happy memories are very important(:
because they are extremely good sources of motivation
to cheer you up when you're feeling down (:
although the trip to woodlands was far,
but i think it's worth it (:
i welcome meaningful sacrifices(:
especially for people who deserve it :)
oh and i went to parkway after that to buy some stuff
it was a spur-of-the-moment decision(:
because i decided that since i was outside, i might as well
use the time wisely :D
i think my studies are rotting away:(
sigh.
oh well- tmr will be better:D

9:03 AM
hello(:
was reading through some of my blog archives(:
( yes, i know i shouldn't be doing that)
but it's rewarding (:
coz it inspired me to persevere on!(:
when one gets tired ,
and sick of all the stress, troubles in life,
just look back.(:
look back at your happy memories,
look back at all the achievements you have made so far
it may not be academic,
it can be anything that made you happy(:
like, making someone you care about smile,
being there for a friend etc:D
look back at all the smiles you were given
all the laughter you shared
reflect about your life so far...
it could have been better definitely but similarly,
it could have been worse(:
be thankful that it's the way it is (:
happy memories serve as motivation for the future:D
when you reminise about those memories,
a smile is naturally brought to your face
and it's your happy memories with the people you share
that makes you want to continue living
and sharing more happy memories with them(:
there are always two sides in life
and so if there are happy memories,
there must be sad memories,
there's no escaping from that(:
but once you understand that,
you will lead life on a lighter, positive note
whereby no matter how sad your life might be,
there will definitely be light shining upon you soon(:
and no matter how happy you are,
you must be mentally prepared for any darkness to befall you
but there's no need to be afraid
because it's a cycle(:
live through the cycle and emerge as a stronger person each time :D
i guess thats the meaning of " life has ups and downs"(:
jiayou!:D
you can do it if you believe in yourself (:
if you believe in your life (:

after that, there were some misunderstandings

had YVSL exhibition whole day at NIE
well, it was kind of cool in a way
coz i got to see other projects and introduce our project at the same time(:
but, like all exhibitions,
it was boring to a certain extent -.-
except when it was lunch hour
where the GOH also came to visit(:
quite happy about the manpower distribution yesterday :D
oh. must apologise here
hehe because my teacher wanted me to stay for the GOH to come
in case she came over to our exhibition and
we had to describe our project to her (:
and to rush over by the time the GOH was gone
would be really a waste of resources- time and money
since i had to be back by 3 plus for a 5 min sharing session
it went quite well la(: except i spoke too fast again -.-
oh and must apologise to jasmine
for not accompanying you all the way >.<
paiseh XD okayokay, i owe you 4 big favours now (:
left NIE with zhanglu, jiaying and baoxue(:
and started the long mrt ride home with zhanglu and jiaying
the 3 of us were so tired that we slept in the MRT
quite a funny sight- seeing 3 students in sch uni sitting next to each other
and all sleeping :D
i was quite amazed that i was that tired
but not surprising - considering i only slept 3 hours the night before >.<

oh and i learnt something new about overseas service learning trips today..
well, actually its not something new
but i've never really given serious thought to it..
haha XD
when we go for OCIPs,
what is our purpose?
Is it for ourselves or for the beneficiaries overseas?
We tend to see ocips as a learning journey for us
and tend to assume that whatever we do will definitely benefit our beneficiaries
but when have we ever put ourselves in their shoes
and thought seriously about our impact on them?
we're selfish in the sense that we focus more on what we learn
our personal experience
and in the end, we don't manage to fufil the original objective
and the true meaning of ocips are lost ><
we should reflect ...
anyway, march hols is coming(:

hello(:
still feeling rather tired
which is bad:( because i have so many things to do tomorrow =X
anyway, a recap of the past 2 days(:
Tuesday:
was still in my post-symposium happy mood(:
but couldnt concentrate during lessons >.<
had CLL test after school- a confirmed flopped test
and the weather was too hot so i stayed in school because i was lazy to go home haha XD
so i went home with sp much later on when the weather was not that hot(:
met ching siang and weijie at the bus 30 busstop haha(:
oh and went to buy dinner with ching siang-
at the place that i always buy from (:
quite cool- i never really introduced anyone to this place before
because its very near to my house and kind of out-of-the-way
but the food is good (: and the pple at the stall are very nice to me :D
Today:
still had my bad sore throat >.<
haiz. but anw lessons were kind of torturous
because i couldnt really pay attention
but i really appreciate the pep talk by both
Ms Krishnan and Mr Gilbert Lee(:
actually i enjoy pep talks on studies\
because im always looking forward to seeing how inspired i can get from them :D
and i must say the pep talks given by these 2 tchers
were really inspiring
(:
its time to really buck up!
JIAYOU:D
and anw i think today's CSC was good(:
there were quite a few external speakers
and although it was quite busy and stressful to some extent
im glad everything still went quite okay(:
although i must admit that the year 5 CSC people ( in general)
are kind of showing a little of their ugly side
which is really quite saddening..
but nevertheless, its inevitable i guess(:
really hope that CSC will thrive under felicia and comm(:
was kind of affected by a comment today
although the person who spoke it meant no malice:
that the problem with me was that i'm too soft and i always try my best to accomodate people
it's not really a trait of a good leader
and although there's nothing wrong with it,
i feel really gulty when people are frustrated with me over this issue
frustrated with how i handle things
and although i know that each person handles leadership differently,
its still undeniable that there's still a sort of system to check with
on whether you're being a good leader...
OH WELL. I just have to learn along the way(:
but im rather happy with the CSC meeting
with the year 6 CSC people(:
although not many people came,
it kind of felt complete(:
whereby everyone was kind of comfortable with each other
in a real, nice, united CCA :D
although it's kind of sad that it's the last CSC activity before farewell,
im still happy that at least in the end,
being part of CSC is being part of a common identity we share :D
it's been a long journey
as CSC chairperson
and frankly speaking, there were many times
whereby i struggled with it
faced with pressure from different areas
but what kept me going on was the entrusted responsibility that was given to me
and more importantly
what i was doing this for(:
im doing it because i have a passion in community service
because im training myself to be a future social worker
so my experience and exposure will surely benefit me :D
so no matter how hard it was, i had to persevere(:
as if i couldn't manage to persevere through this,
how was I to perservere in future and
become a successful social worker?(:
so i just have to keep trying(:
and although in a way,
i'm looking forward to stepping down
and focusing on studies and dance after farewell,
there's still this sense of nolstagia within me
haha XD this year has really passed so fast and being CSC chairperson
played a major role in making my senior high life memorable
and its a decision i would never ever regret:D
and so, im really happy that the post symposium evaluation went rather well today(:
i'm really very happy and thankful for the team of yr6s who were also working on this symposium :D
as a CSC chairperson,
upon reflecting - i know theres indeed room for improvement
but im contented(:
contented with what i have done so faR(:
from a person with absolutely ZERO experience
in CSC, in community service , in service learning projects
but only a passion for helping others, to become a social worker(:
to a CSC chairperson who has experience, the passion and the heart(:
i think i really matured along this journey
and this could not have been done
without my peers in CSC :D
(: im happy.

hello!(:
just a quick post before i go study for my CLL test tmr ...
today's service learning symposium was GREAT(:
it didn't start off too well
but it ended VERY well(:
at least to me lah :D
i'm really proud of all my csc pple(:
the symposium comm
and im really grateful to them
especially to lihui(:
my co-chairperson for the symposium :D
i really couldn't have done it without her :D
other photos at a later time! need to start to study for CLL le hah XD
havent started ><>
but heres a group photo <33
<33>
taken by nicole :) i shall try to get her in the photo somehow haha :)
anyway, there was this particularly touching incident
which made me very happY(:
when it was time for them to hand in their evaluation form,
this chueng cheng guy went up to the table and put all the forms on the table
i didn't think too much about it
until he banged his hand on the evaluation forms which caught my attention(:
and i saw " strongly agree" for everything :D on the evaluation form on top
which is super good(:
i looked up , smiled to him and he smiled back:D
even though its a simple smile, it really warmed my heart(:
and i think the symposium has indeed achieved its impact of inspiring students(:
shall go indulge in the other evaluation forms later:D
:) im happy. seriously happy and thankful :D
its a beautiful end (:

hello!(:
just reached home!(:
and i'm in quite a good mood now because
today was quite a good day :D
my history test has been shifted to a later date
thanks to ms krishnan's generousity after taking
my cca commitments for this monday's service learning symposium in consideration :D
actually, i really didn't expect her to give me allowance
all i did was that i really couldnt finish my revision
and because she mentioned that she wanted us to aim for at least a B
for this test,
i wanted her to be mentally prepared for the
disappointment she will have in me
because there was no way i could achieve that target
with my bare minimum revision ><
anyway, so i called her and told her that just to let her know that
i will be doing not very well for this test because
i was busy preparing for my symposium
and then she generously offered me allowance to take the test at a later date(:
i must really work hard and not disappoint her!:D
anyway, met kailin just now as post centre
and we had a nice chat over food!(:
haha its been quite long since i chatted with her
and although i think i wasted her time >.<
i really enjoyed myself HAHA:D
its very happy talking to her <33
today's dance was surprisingly quite good too (:
was kind of glad i had that talk with dominic last saturday
think it helped alot(:
oh well.. theres so much stuff to be done
but i BELIEVE i can do it (:
JIAYOU :)
smile!:D

hello!(:
today's the day that Alevel results were returned...
quite a reflective day for me...
perhaps it's because that almost every teacher gave " pep talks"
for every lesson today >.<
well, it's kind of scary yet amazing that i'm actually going to take Alevels this year
can't help but experience mixed feelings...
im looking forward to seeing how capable a mugger i can actually be
and how much i can actually stretch myself to achieve(:
yet at the same time,
i fear for my alevels..
because the goal of As seem so far out of my reach ><
and i want to get good results for A levels
not only because of my family, friends, school
but also because of my goal as a social worker...
i guess i just have to believe in myself(:
and from this point on,
i need to evolve into a MUGGER (:
goodluck to me!

hi!(:
it's currently raining outside >.<
and im really thankful to be at home(:
sheltered from the rain
and able to enjoy the wind safely
from the comforts of my home :D
anyway, today was quite an okay day (:
had to solve a problem halfway in the day
and was so super relieved to be able to solve it in the end:D
i always feel super happy when i am able to solve problems(:
and i always am sincerely thankful to those people that have a part to play
in helping me solve my problems(=
its amazing how inspired you can get
after receiving help from others(:
so we should really start helping others more
and get others inspired to help other people :D
okay, i better get down to studying for my history test >.<
JIAYOU (:

hello(:
well, the morning started on a touching note(:
while being unable to catch the bus 30 at a very late time,
this auntie walked up to me and jasmine
and offered to give us a lift
because she was heading over to SOTA which was
super close to our school..
and she really took a taxi, gave us a lift
and insisted that we did not have to pay for the trip ><
such a nice, wonderful lady :D
it might be something small to her
but to us, its a touching gesture(:
i get really touched and happy
when people help me(: especially unknown strangers
because it continues to renew my faith in the kindness in people's hearts (:
and looking at the impact they had on me,
i want to impact other also (:
so i learn to think of others and help them more:D
went to the econs film presentation at ACSI(:
with jolene, sp, agnes, grace and xuke
hmm frankly speaking, i thought i could have put the time to better use
but still, it was indeed a new experience for me(:
we walked all the way to buona vista mrt
and it was kind of nolstagic - was reminded abt the last 2 years at the buona vista campus (:
oh well. time passes so we should move on :D
anyway, i shall help to broadcast a performance by DHSSHCS!(:

hello!(:
today was quite a good day :D
i like Tuesdays because i only have three lessons(including PE)
and it ends at 2.15pm HAHA (=
but i had to stay back in school to study
because firstly it was raining and i was too lazy to go home =p
and secondly i decided to wait for felicia and go to the meeting with dominic at parkway later(=
quite a productive study session
considering that i was actually studying history ><
although i only read thailand notes and about GATT
which i truly suspect that i have already forgotten more than half of what i read
it's still a start(=
went with felicia to meet with dominic at parkway fish n co(:
yay dominic treated both of us to dinner HEHH:)
i feel bad but aiyah :D i think im very greedy cuz
i cant resist treats (= and car rides home HAHA :)
but of course there are times when i know i can't be greedy lah :D
anyway, the talk at dinner was really great(=
seriously at times, i really admire dominic
because of his ability to share, to talk
about his experience with so much sincerity that
it's really very inspiring listening to him(=
and i realise i really really learn alot from his talks
i can't really put it across as to how his talks are inspiring
but as in, you can't help but have to agree with what he says..
sometimes i think it's like hearing mingwei talk(=
just that mingwei's the chinese version and he's the english version HAHA:D
haiz. i think i seriously need to build up on my
talking and sharing skills:(
because i realise how much impact successful and sincere sharing can impact someone...
and if i want to impact more people with my ideas and such
but am unable to do so due to my flaw in communicating effectively,
it's really kind of sad :( so i guess i better JIAYOU :D
should learn to be a motivational and inspiring speaker ONE DAY(=
hopefully i will achieve this goal when i become a social worker:)
anyway, while dominic was analysing felicia's character,
it's weird but i felt as though he was analysing my character
coz my character is simply too similar to felicia's character o.o
haha! XD amazingly(= which is quite cool lah XD
but thanks to her, i heard traits of my character
which people never said before
as in i thought about them before
but i didn't bother giving any serious thought as to how to phrase this trait of mine..
i think i'm really quite an extreme F heh XD
sometimes, i wonder whether i'm going to go through
any major crisis in my life
and live through it
as a stronger person(:
people who usually have been through alot
have alot to share and alot of valuable experience
which i think is super cool(= and i really respect them alot
not for what they say but for their perserverance, a kind of determination
to live life to the fullest despite all odds(:
there's this different spark in their eyes
this spark of triumph
of hope for the future(:
and it inspires me to live a better and fufilling life that i'm living now(:
the reason i want to be a social worker is because
i want to live my life for others:)
people usually live for themselves and although there's nothing wrong with that
but i think through living your life for others,
you are able to impact more people(:
you make more people happy:)
you make your life more meaningful and inspire others to follow in your footsteps(:
although others say that if you live your life for yourselves,
what's going to happen to you when everyone leaves ?
what will you live for?
i think the answer will come naturally to you
if such a day exists(=
the main motivation in life
the strength in my life that's pushing me on
to my goals , my dreams and a more meaningful life
are the memories of how i impacted people(=
sometimes when i lose faith in myself
in my life,
i take out notes that people wrote to me
i think about what i have done for others
and it inspires me to continue making a difference(=
making a difference in someone's life
is the best thing one can ever do(=
it not only renews hope and faith in others,
it inspires you and gives you this sense of satisfaction that you can't get it from anywhere:)
my ideal impact on other people's lives would be when they know that
no matter what ordeal they are going through
even if they feel that everything is lost and there's no one for them
there's still me(:
one person and nobody makes a huge difference(=
whenever i think of how i can impact other's lives,
how i can make them happier,
how i can make the people around them happier,
how i can change their life positively for them
how i can always be there for them(:
to make them smile and let them believe in themselves and life again(:
it's in a way idealistic
and sounds cliche when i say it
but its really 100% true(:
everytime i think of how i can make a difference,
i get very happy , excited and smile to myself(=
i want that to be my motivation for social work in future:D
i want myself to wake up every morning
and feel motivated by the number of lives im going to impact that day:D
it's a brand new start(:
so i must JIAYOU(:
face everything positively(:
be the best that i can be
for myself, and the future people im going to impact(:
i will persevere:D
and not dwell on unimportant matters le!(:
i think everyone's born for a reason(:
and i sincerely believe that there will alwyas be people
out there who will impact your life in some way or another(:
and similarly, you have the power to do the same to others(:
and although the world might seem to be getting more and more negative
with disasters such as economic recession etc
the worst brings out the best in people(:
all the more, at this time,
all the little differences and impacts mean the whole world to many people(:
its a matter of perspective(:

hello!:)
i'm feeling motivated now
because i just saw a rainbow!!(=
i don't see rainbows often
but i can't believe i actually saw one last week
and one this week:)
i believe it's a good omen! haha :D
hope's on the way (=
.jpg)
the rainbow in the 2 pictures are the same rainbow(:
dunno why the colour of the sky changed so drastically:)
but anyway, today's weather was also kind of inspiring
the sky was really dark and gloomy when i reached home
an indication of a thunderstorm
which really occured
but it only lasted for 10 min
and the skies soon cleared(:
for blue skies and golden rays of a setting sun:D
haha(: this shows that
no matter how terrible situations may seem
everything will turn out fine in the end:)

hello!(:
it's been a busy weekend ><
busy with symposium matters
and i can't believe the ONLY acadmic thing i did was
differential equations 16A tutorial:(
argh.
and actually i know
i could have done much more
just that i took my own sweet time ><
OH WELL :(
at least this weekend was somewhat meaningful(:
symposium meeting with miss tan on sat morn( saw chingsiang and tricia!:D )
dance in school
talk at post centre(:- thanks for the advice!(:
today was a slack day at home :(
but oh well.. was kind of disturbed by some issues
which are simply so not important that i feel frustrated that
im actually getting myself so bothered over them :(
afterall, there're so many more things in life
that matter more(: and make your life more meaningful:D
i think i should just look at how people do things on the surface
instead of seeing through them and making myself miserable ><
maybe sometimes it's okay to let people make use of me
as long as it makes them happy and it's not anything that has to do with crime and illegal activity(:
i'll wait. i believe what i'm waiting for will come one day.(=
good things are worth the wait.(=
jiayou ! :D
