A Note To My Friends

Dear friends,
It's with great sadness that I observe your lives nowadays. As much as we had great steps to go for, as much as I'm observing you give up on them.

It's even with greater sadness that I observe those of you who have been going back and forth for years, losing their faith and allowing their weaknesses to take over.

But it's with the greatest sadness that I observe you, who let the little things break you....forever.


Many of you had great dreams to aspire to, but only a few are on the track of making them a reality. Remember, when we were young, we used to plan out our future aspirations on paper, with colorful pens, and say "in five years, I'll have this thing done".

It's been way more than five years, have you got anything done?

We used to say that we'll grow up one day, be good people and build up something. Look t you now, how much growing up have you done? Are you a good person? Are you building up something?

Did you add something to your personality? I cannot judge, of course, but check up with yourself. Afterall, you called me all kinds of names from "suicidal" to "crazy" to "idiot" when I was pursuing my very first goal in life...then after I pursued it, you wowed the acheivement.

Aaah, the first time we met, I felt like I totally didn't fit! But now, it's way different than then.
Now that I'm here to stay, I can freely say..you need a new perspective.

It's not about the marks you get, it's about the knowledge you aquire. Those of you who recognize themselves know that they'd usually call me a nerd when I study a bit harder ( although I don't study as much as you think I do)

I'm no here to cretesize, for all I know, I'm not flawless, my status is "way less than perfection"

And you know, once you let one little thing, or one friend, change your faith, then you weren't worthy of that faith all along.

I know that all of us have our moments of weakness, but it's your job to restrict the weakness to its moment...because if you don't, then you totally blew it, totally blew away your track and began walking n a totally differen track and guess what? You don't even know you're on a different track! Niether do you know where it's taking you. Until it hits you in the face.

Dear friends,
Our life is not only about hanging out and having our favorite meals and chasing out the people we like. Benefit of every moment no matter how old you are. It's a non-ending process; if you don't benefit from it, it'll go on without you.

Peace

The NT Zone: This Is Not The Ground Floor

So the other day, T & I were leaving a student club to go to the place where she had her field training because we needed to get her final assessment paper.

So, we're in the elevator, going down from 4th floor to GF, and T is very annoyed at her supervisor that she's talking and talking and talking about how annoying he is....and I'm listening.

Apparently, someone was meaning to get into the elevator from the 2nd floor...which happens usually and everytime I'm leaving the club.

So it stops at 2nd floor, I stood still waiting for it to close, but T, spontaneously & still talking, got out and walked away into the 2nd floor. When T realised I wasn't with her,someone in the elevator burst out laughing...me.

Realising what had happened, T cam back in just before the doors closed, and told whomever was laughing (me) to zip it.

Amazingly, I was unable to stop laughing for the following 15 min. You just had to see her expression when she stopped outside!

I only stopped laughing when we got to the company, got her assessment paper and then resumed laughing when we got out.....I still laugh everytime I remember her face..

52 Things I want To Learn

Today is the first day of 2009, happy new year to you!

I've made a decesion today, I'm trying to make my days more meaningful to me, you know, when you feel like so far your life has been goal-less and you want to change it..

So, I actually watched a preview of "Yes Man" and I liked the scene where Jim Carry is standing ront of a notice boardm reading ads and talking "would I like to take gutar lessons? yes! Would I like to learn Korean? Yes!..."

So there you go, sorry Jim, I kind of stole this idea!

There are 52 weeks in each year, each week I'm attempting to learn something new. It could be a personal skill or a practical skill! From Applying make-up to langauage learning to making donuts and even playing basketball....no swimming though; I'm still too scared of pools. (Perhaps I should add spell-checking to my skills?)

My first attempt will be to learn Spanish...again. What! I'm starting to forget the language! Don't look at me like THAT!
