A lot of times, people judge too fast. When they feel that a person is like that, it is very hard to change the perception as people will always trust their own judgement, thinking that they are right. However, change is the only constant in this world, there is no such thing as something that will confirm plus chop never change! Therefore, before passing comments on someone based on own judgement, how about thinking thrice? If not, you may say things which you regret later.

It seems that things are so not going to be smooth-riding and successful for the weeks to come. Just looking at the things to be done, the people to work with and the possible problems that may crop up, demoralised beyond words is the only way to describe it. Some people are only suited to be friends, while others are only suited to be collegues. Using another person as your source of motivation is very dangerous, when that person disappoints you then nothing seems to matter anymore. This craziness is engulfing me, haha.

I received this email forwarded from a junior which talks about very young children's perception of love. There were a lot that is just so true and touching that I feel like sharing. :))) Here goes:

'When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.' Rebecca- age 8

'When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.' Billy - age 4

'Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.' Chrissy - age 6

'Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.' Terri - age 4

'Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.' Danny - age 7

'Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.' Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)

'If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,' Nikka - age 6 (we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)

'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.' Noelle - age 7

'Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.' Elaine-age 5

'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.' Chris - age 7

'Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.' Mary Ann - age 4

'When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.' (what an image) Karen - age 7

'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross.' Mark - age 6

'You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.' Jessica - age 8

So what is love to you? ;)

皎洁的月光肆无忌惮地闯入了闺房，令人不得不注意到它的存在。纯洁的白光给空寂冷清的房间带来了一丝丝的温暖，让人不知不觉移向了窗槛旁边。抬头往乌青的天空一看，一轮明镜便进入了眼帘。那小小的白色圈圈，似乎让无边无际的天空都亮了起来，其作用真是让人震惊。希望，在心中又油然而生。
有时候，单薄的力量虽然看似微不足道，但是它的影响也可以辽阔无比，不是吗？(:

my apologies to those who cannot read chinese, forgive and accept me for being a cheenapok ok? :P

Need to take a breather from facing Microsoft Excel, my eyes are literally popping out from all the staring on my computer screen. Haha, quite funny to imagine myself looking like a goldfish, bleah. :P Pin down some random thoughts of mine for the 1st week of school ba, sincerely do not think I will be able to have much time in the weeks to come for this coming semester for me to reflect and think. Haha, full gear engine man, vvvvvooooom vvvvvooooom vvvvvooooommmmm!

I really love all the heart to heart talks which I have with my friends, even though I have got a very strong feeling I would not be able to do much of such talks. But somehow or rather, when the situation allows for such talks to take place, I will just throw everything I have to do aside and spend the few quality hours with my friends to just chat. Even though it is not very healthy since I do not have much time in the 1st place, my subconscious will totally take over me. Haha, weird Xin Yu caught in the act once again.

Sometimes, actually is most of the times, I will be wondering why is it that people cannot just spare more thoughts for the people around them. Be more considerate, be more understanding, be more patient, be more helpful, be more supportive, be more encouraging, be more friendly, be more... to put in simple terms, be more willing to put yourself in other people's shoes. I do not deny that some people have foot disease or hong kong foot, it may be hard on yourself to do so, but why not do it just because you are going to be hard on yourself? Haha, I know a lot of people are going to say that I am mad. Afterall, what I am asking right now is self-torture in a way. But, I do have a lot of people around me whom I see are willing to do so. I admire them for that, they are the ones who keep me going when I lose the drive. They are the ones who will make my day shine like nobody's business, make me feel touched beyond words, prove to me that the world is still a good place to be in no matter what happened. I am fortunate to have these people as my friends, really.

Haha, I also realised it is very important to take a step back at times and look at the whole picture. Sometimes, you will be so engrossed and caught up with a part of the picture that you forgot about the rest. As a result, you may be doing things which may do more harm than good to the whole picture. Different people have different mindsets and perceptions on how things should be done, they will think that their way is the correct, or at least the conventional one. However, a lot of times, the conventional way may not be the right way, and the correct way may not produce the best results in the long run. People are normally rather resistant to changes (just to what extent), whether you want to accept it or not, that is just the way we are. Why not just attempt to step out of the box, across the line or away from the comfort zone? You may chance upon a great discovery, who knows?

The mouth is a double-edged sword, it can bring people up high into the seventh heaven, and it can also bring people down deep into the abyss of hell. Use it wisely or it may come back to haunt you one fine day when you least expect it. I think a lot of us have come to realise this. Scary right? But it is a fact of life. Spent long enough a time, shall head back to what I have to do. Everyone have a good semester ahead!!! (:

This year, I managed to complete Bike Quest recce, even though I did stop a bit in the middle as my bike's tyre pam chek. Last year it was the brake that gave me the problem loh. Once again, I was told it is game over, feeling very disappointed and angry but helpless. However, poor Xiao Yan fell and had an abrasion wound on her knee so I took over her. I really enjoyed myself throughout the whole thing, being with a lot of different people throughout the whole night. The different interaction and the different role I took was interesting and enriching in a way. :P Glad that I did not have 1 more regret to add on in my Arts Club term time. If not really very cui loh.

Anyway, now feeling super tired even after trying to rest. I keep dreaming about a lot of things which just means I have not rested well. School's starting officially tomorrow, somehow or rather, I just cannot find the enthusiasm about studying no matter how I see it. Just hope that this semester can pass as smoothly as possible. Taking 5 modules with 1 non-examinable, finally! Haha, hope I can cope better and pull up my CAP. I shall heed the advice Tian Hao and Bing De gave me with regards to studies and CCA management in the following semester. More things to learn! Haha, something to look forward to~! ;)

信任是要争取来的，一旦走错一步，丧失了别人对你原有的信任，想要再培养之前的信任简直难如登天。

“树林阴翳，鸣声上下，游人去而禽鸟乐也。然而禽鸟知山林之乐，而不知人之乐；人知从太守游而乐，而不知太守之乐其乐也。醉能同其乐，醒能述其文者，太守也。”

突然间，对于以前学过的这篇古文，感觉非常贴心。能充分了解作者在下笔那一刻时的心情。哈哈，觉得自己真聪明。:P

隐瞒不被发现，什么事情就可以当作没有发生。

企图隐瞒失败，所造成的伤害将会更加厉害了。

some random thoughts about life which I find it to be very true most of the times. brain is running around like mad once again. :P

Attended the first 21st birthday celebration among all my friends. This year is so going to be a money draining year, especially if all my friends are having some form of party. I do not dare to count how much I have to spend in this year on presents alone. I think it will add up to quite an amount, must start to save up.

Anyway, it was a very wonderful feeling seeing all my secondary school friends. Really miss all of them a lot and it feels great being able to see all of them again. Most of them still look the same generally, despite small changes here and there. Just hope that the next time when our class have gathering of some sort I do not have to rush off to some other place like this time. Thanks Pei Joo for inviting me! Hope you had a memorable 21st!!!

Back to the 21st topic, I guess it will be a hot discussion subject among my friends of the same age. A lot of people have been asking me if I will be celebrating it or am I planning to do anything special. Haha, I do not have any plans, none at all. Maybe I will go home? I have no idea as I foresee a lot of things that I have to do at that point of time. I do not want anyone making special plans for me either, because I am not able to do so for them. I do not want any gifts or what-so-ever. To me, cards/sms-es/phonecalls are enough. If you guys do not want to make me feel bad and guilty, just show that you remembered using the cheapest way. It will be the best present for me already. ^-^

辗转数回，原来始终没变，哈哈哈。

我真的真的真的很想开声，真的很想。

人就是人，就算做事再神，也始终是人。

衷心希望这个世界可以变得更美好，因为人对于什么方面都是有限度的。

胡思乱想，神志清醒，精神分裂？

细雨纷飞的夜晚，独自一人的漫步。触摸身体的雨点是冷的，心灵深处的思绪却是暖的。眼前的路途看上去布满荆棘，但脑里的坚决将是屹立不倒。只要团结一心，就是挑战多多也能迎刃而解。

I was fortunate today to have a baby beside me accompanying me on my mrt journey back to school. Thanks Min Joo for allowing me to stayover at your house! It was a great time. (: Anyway, there was this drooling baby wearing tigger baby costumes sitting beside me with his mum. Haha, he is like super cute!!! Huge twinkling eyes & chubby face! I just spent my mrt journey entertaining him and in turn being entertained by his cute-ness & adorable laughter. Really love babies, hope will have more such baby encounters for me to play with babies!

和朋友促膝谈心真的是觉得很贴心，很温暖。能和自己所在乎的人聊天说地，分享各自的小秘密，那种完美的感受是我很期盼并且珍惜的。朋友之间的信任，更是我会用生命来维护的。2008年的第一天，还算不错嘛。;)
