sometimes, happiness does not have to be what we achieved or wanted, it is how we view the world in a different manner, to be content about the things around us. (:someone left this comment on my egen blog- meishappy.egen.sg ( my another blog ) :D
and i felt that it was really meaningful so i want to share it (:
There are so many choices in our life for us to make and sometimes , when the choices we make leave us feeling insecure or negative, we should look at why we made those choices-
everything happens for a reason.
For example, my social work attachment made me sacrifice chances of trying out OGL /counsellor roles in camp together with my o'week camp people and even bonding with them and making new friends through camps. Yes, I am feeling a little sore about it , afterall, who wouldn't like to bond with friends and make new friends and enjoy the games and fun activities? Even though this was something that I sort of intentionally made it happen ( because i chose to take my social work placement this holiday), still i feel a tinge of regret and as much as i would like to try and crash here and there, i just feel too tired from my placement to even move out of my house and travel, especially when i have loads of undone work for my placement.
But, taking it from a different perspective, i realise that instead of feeling sore about not being able to join my friends or being too drained to crash here and there, i should be feeling happy that i have the weekend to rest, whereby i do not need to wake up at 7 plus in the morning and i can slack and sleep whenever i want. (: i should be happy that i can stay at home and accompany my brother who's also back for the weekend and eat lunch and dinner with my family. (: I should be happy for time to slack and just enjoy a leisure life because that's what i feel like doing. (: I guess it's called following your heart and believing in the reason for making this decision. By staying at home, i can save on my transport fees too - yay save money since i feel like im making a loss- $10 per day T.T And I'm also really happy I took my placement this semester holidays because I got to have it at such a wonderful place with 2 very wonderful placement mates that i cherish alot. (: I wouldn't want anything to change because I feel really lucky to have everything I have now and to be going through this placement experience with such a open mind and meeting really wonderful new people.
So, sometimes in life, it's really not about the things that we cannot have when we make some decisions, it's about why we made those decisions and it's about how we see the decisions we make in life- in a different perspective and like what i shared above, to be content with the things around us. (:
we cannot have everything we want but we can choose to be happy for what we have. (:

hello.
i'm currently feeling pretty horrible now.
I believe it's the coffee that I drank just now that amplified negative feelings within me from not-so-good incidents. Rahh.
I made a mistake today. Oh well, yea mistakes happen, they are inevitable and therefore, I should not be too harsh on myself. Sometimes, while your mind is really positive and everything, your heart just doesn't follow it. You just feel a little... down. Normal I guess- everyone has their down moments. It is during times like this that I wish my heart and brain could be synchronized.
I feel like blogging so much but then, I don't know what to blog, how to spill out the headache and down feelings I'm suffering from now. I think a good sleep will be the best remedy. (:
Don't get me wrong, I'm not deterred by today's negativity. There is still positivity in the negativity that I am truly thankful for. But, it's just that I need to face myself amidst the negativity to grow and be a stronger person.
I must not let irrational beliefs and thoughts secretly creep into me and cloud my perceptions.
Goodnight and I believe that tomorrow will be a better day. (=

hello(:
here to drop a quick post because i know there are some people out there like my godbrother who looks forward to getting updated on my life =D
Anyway, it's my 2nd week into field placement!
Apart from the tiring work hours and travelling, I must say that I'm kind of looking forward to everyday because of all the new things that I can learn. (: I know it will get busier and busier but I'm all charged up and ready for it!
there are times when i feel so overwhelmed and lost in all the theories and knowledge about social work and even anxious when i do not seem to have enough to keep myself busy for now. but these are all normal fears and obstacles, ultimately i must have faith and acknowledge that every moment is a moment for learning, regardless of what i am actually doing.
(; i enjoyed today <3
jiayou!

hello(:
it's the 3rd day of my 4 day holiday (:
i'm really happy with how i spent the past 2 of my precious holidays =) tiring but satisfyingly happy and so , i'm here to blog about them to keep them as memories for the future(:
i already blogged about what happened on thursday so i shall blog about what happened yesterday!
:D
The day started with meeting HuiKee and Jasmine for CYCLING! :D It's been so long since I cycled! I love cycling (: Just feeling the wind in your face and feeling so free to do anything I want, travel anywhere I want to or just shouting out to the world that EXAMS ARE OVER-- FREEDOM :D I want to cycle again soon! :D
The only bad thing was the horrible bicycle seat that made our butts sore -.- AND the scorching sun! I'm now tanned unevenly cuz I wore a t-shirt- SIGH. haha(: but nevertheless, to just chill and exercise( after so long) and talking while cycling, laughing over the double bike and single bike and all of us longing for cold drinks after everything was over was simply - a very very happy outinG(: Had lunch at jacks place after that and I bought my jeans , like finally! I think I'm spending rather impulsively for the past 2 days- i believe it's liberation euphoria and the sad fact that I have to go for attachment for 10 weeks, starting from monday , which means no time to do much stuff T.T Anyway, because I had another outing after that, we couldn't go and sing:( but but but I'm looking forward to our next singing outing and maybe ice-skating outing! :D
Talking about primary school stuff, secondary school stuff and simply just chatting and catching up makes me feel very happy about our friendship - it's about 7 years friendship with jasmine and a decade of friendship with huikee! and I hope our friendship lasts all the way <3
And so I rushed home after that to bathe and change and prepare for my next outing with the NUSPA people! :D Rebecca, Xueting, LiangCe, Sean, Ericssen (: Although I didn't participate much in the meetings and didn't get to know some of them well, I'm really happy I went for this outing cuz I realise that we can all click quite well :D They are nice people to go out with(: and YES I can't wait for the time whereby junya is back and the 4 of us can have an outing and go sing! :)
Anyway, we went clarke quay to eat and we actually went Zirca(: haha it's like a first time experience to see how clubbing is like, although I didn't get to see because I left rather early. And that was because my dear boyfriend who was worried about me came all the way , ps-ed his friends for movie and even spent money on entering the club even though he thought going clubs are a waste of money , just to make sure I was safe and to send me home <3 <3 I think a balance between personal wants and thinking for each other is going to last us through our lifetime <3
And so, that concludes my second day of holiday! Today's the third day(: Slacking at home now and perhaps looking at my placement stuff. >< And then going to visit my cousin at the hospital. And there's an outing with carine huiting weijie huiming daniel and brandon ang later! (: Can't wait :D
Keep smiling people (:

Damn it. 2 more freaking papers to go
and this two are like the most important papers to me
and yet i feel so unmotivated and so sian of studying :(
i've been really slack for exams this time
and while i feel guilty and worried,
i still succumb to temptations over and over again.
perhaps i'm just sick of studying.
i don't know.
i admire people who can really discipline themselves to chiong all the way
and while some part of me feels that YES I CAN DO IT TOO
another part just overpowers it and says that YAH RIGHT OF COZ YOU CAN'T DO IT.
Perseverance is tiring.
;(
ARGH.
it's good living in self-denial sometimes.
i can't find that spark i had in me to study for social work. whyyyyyyyy.
why is it that when you have your direction in life there for you , you get complacent and get lost in it.
do i just need encouragement or is it scolding that i need?
SIGH such a depressing post and I suspect that when I really feel like giving up,
I probably might just do the bare minimum and believe in my luck.
that's what i did once, i didn't really study and i tried to use my psychological approach.
BUT ARGH. :( pathetic me :(
siannn. i just feel like ranting on and on
but i still have a sensible mind that's constantly bugging me for what a failure i have become
and so don't worry, i guess i'll force myself to study ... somehow.
I WANT THURSDAY TO COME NOW :'( SOBS.
