A Smile =)

A Smile costs nothing, but gives much

It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give

It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever

None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it,
and none is so poor, but that he can be made rich by it

A Smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business,
and is the countersign of friendship

It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the
sad,
and it is nature's best antidote for trouble.

Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen,
for it is something that is of no value to anyone, until it is given
away

Some people are too tired to give you a smile;
Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no
more to give.

ponder wonder.

have been pondering about what a friend told me today...

it kept ringing in my mind.

Why havn't I look at it from this point of view before?...
When he told me that, I was like... *diiinnnngg* stroke of enlightenment... (haha.. exaggerating)...
but really....

he told me that, if I could work as hard to find a solution to effectively work hard, it would be more effective then putting ever ounce, of mental and physical strength into a direct path of just working hard...

frankly, I know I've been pissing alot of people off lately...
especially in group discussions, I'll be the one that kinda clams up everybody's mood...
but actually, I'm was not really in a bad mood at that time.. I was just furrowing my eyebrowns cause I was trying to think very hard, exectly how it would be done on flash...

so don't mistake me for being in a bad mood...

had a pretty long chat with Timo...
he told me alot of things that I should change my attitude about. pessimism, cynicism, independence, teamwork and a whole lot more...
I realized that I am pretty much an independent worker, preferring to stress myself instead loading stress onto people...

but i never realized that my cynicism may actually have been hampering the conceptualization process of the entire group... maybe thats why it took so long for us to come up with a proper, strong concept...

=X

my bad.

i hate director mx
i hate director mx
i hate director mx..... but NOOOOOO.. we were taught self fufilling prophecy in ICP, thus....
i LOVE director mx
i LOVE director mx
I LOVE director mx.....

bah. I have ORANGE braces now.... pretty cool, i think they look quite nice, if not for the fact that they MIGHT change color after awhile... to a dunnowhatdahell shade...

... sigh....

having problems with everything.

... I can tell, from thise week till the end of the exams, I'll be clinging on to God again...
This is bad, but I know, I cant help it.... pretty hopeless, i feel....


bah. what wrong with my life

boohoo.

silent wonder

crazed thoughts.

i could have been there to hold your hand. but i chose not to.
i could have been there to kiss your tears away. but i chose not to.
i could have been there to hug you close.... to fight for you, to be there for you. but i chose not to.

no. i'm not a coward.
no. i'm not crazy.

my life revolves around a chaotic swarm of nothingness...
i'll only pull you down.

my first love will always be God
and everything else will be second.

why did I do so.
I must be quite mad.

but I know, my priorities are too much, too many, to be able to task another commitment into.
my heart has frozen, a long time ago.
my mind has been tuned out, a long time ago.
my soul has been captured, a long time ago.

you think you feel hurt.
i do to. but i know that this hurt, will be incomparable to the hurt that i tell you a year down the road.
the hurt is so painful, that you can die.

when you fall from the heavens, cold hard ice become jagged knives... merciless, unrelenting, crevasses in which your soul will be torn to million pieces...
and to find back yourself, will take an excruciating lapse of time.

survive this, and you will be stronger.
remember me for the best that I was, cause I will always do the same.

God works in ways, we cannot see.
He will make a way for you and for me, where there seem to be no way.
Because I know He will.

Love your neighbour as you would love yourself, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

Yes, Love. The very, deepest aspect of God.

Dear God,
I hope that you will heal the broken hearts this day, keep us in your arms and wipe away our tears. For You love us, more then anyone else could ever will. May Your will be done in our lives, and may You be glorified through us.
I love you Lord.
We love you Lord.
guide us through this period of turmoil and pain, that we may emerge wiser, more stronger then before, ready to face the world and the chaos that is life.
its been hard. but with You, everything is worth it.

the world will wonder why, I gave my life for You.
but let them wonder, because every breathe I make, every step I make, I make it for you Lord. So please, conform me to your will. Mind, strength, body, soul and spirit.
That Your Kingdom will come. That Your Will be done. On earth, and in heaven, now and forever.
For all honour, glory and power belongs to You and You only. Forever.

In Jesus' most beloved and almighty name I pray. Amen.

Come What May!! - Got they lyrics from Jawei's blog... lolz

Come What May

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

[Chorus:]
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And storms may collide
But I love you until the end of time
I just love Moulin Rouge....
You can NEVER get enough of it.....
haha...
Ewan McGregor is SOOO CUTE!!! Nicole Kidman betta appreciate being in that show....
lol
sigh...
a small bulk of projects have been deemed over.... and there are more to come...
it rolls over and over and over... piling on top of each other...
boo....
no time for myself even!! *grumble*
All my computer games are starting to grow moss...
soon I'll have a miniature patch of garden in my cabinet...
oh yah!! picturessss!!!!
stay tuned!

not stressed.

my eyes can barely even open.
...... havnt been sleeping much these few days... have I even been sleeping?... slept kinda fitfully the past few days...

i do not fear hard work. but i do expect a return for the work that i put in....

Somehow, DMA's presentation didnt go very well (... or maybe i thought it didnt go very well), somehow, our hard work and effort seemed to pale in the light of Mr. Loh's scrutiny...

... guess our whole group is somewhat demoralized...

cause we did put in ALOT of work into coming up with a concept that we thought was pretty good... in fact, very good....

everybody worked so hard........ kinda feel sad too....

brainstorming, conceptualizing, designing, constructing, implementing, elaborating... our project has came a long way, and will develop to even greater heights in the days ahead....

nothing will stop us right?

we did our best. no regrets!
we learnt alot. no regrets!
we grew closer. no regrets!

but somehow....... i feel quite lonely......

frankly, i'm not creative.... i'm more of a practical, technical person... thats why i tend to get pessimistic on ideas that sound too complicated or impossible to carry out...
I love design, but when it comes to the higher levels, I'd prefer to jus emphasize on the practical issues that might crop up...

maybe thats why i piss people off sometimes......


tired. hungry. boo.

i'm going to zeeep. now.

The World Puzzle

There was a man who had a little boy that he loved very much. Everyday
after work the man would come home and play with the little boy. He
would always spend all of his extra time playing with the little boy.

One night, while the man was at work, he realized that he had extra work
to do for the evening, and that he wouldn't be able to play with his
little boy. But, he wanted to be able to give the boy something to keep
him busy. So, looking around his office, he saw a magazine with a large
map of the world on the cover. He got an idea. He removed the map, and
then patiently tore it up into small pieces. Then he put all the pieces
in his coat pocket.

When he got home, the little boy came running to him and was ready to
play. The man explained that he had extra work to do and couldn't play
just now, but he led the little boy into the dining room, and taking out
all the pieces of the map, he spread them on the table. He explained
that it was a map of the world, and that by the time he could put it
back together, his extra work would be finished, and they could both
play. Surely this would keep the child busy for hours, he thought.

About half an hour later the boy came to the man and said, "Okay, it's
finished. Can we play now?"

The man was surprised, saying, "That's impossible. Let's go see." And
sure enough, there was the picture of the world, all put together, every
piece in its place.

The man said, "That's amazing! How did you do that?" The boy said, "It
was simple. On the back of the page was a picture of Jesus. When I put
Jesus together the whole world fell into place."

Freaking STreSs!!!

AHH!!! I AM GOING TO BURST!!!!! SO MUCH STUFF TO DO!!!

URGH... CANT TAKE IT ANY LONGER!!!!

Super... stresss... I CAN DIE!!! LITERALLY!!!

The amount of stress that I have now seem to make the O Level seem like something that is chicken feet...

Everybody is falling sick... and taking longer then ever to recover...
why?

answer : STRESS!!!

Stress lowers the body's natural immune level and maximum energy level.



Grrr.. ahH!!!!!!! I need to scream!!!! I WANT TO SCREAM!!!!!
.. but i CANT...

because I live IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY!!!! if I SCREAM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY I WILL BE TERMED AS MENTALLY UNSTABLE!!!!!

but come to think of it... I think my mind is quite unbalanced already.... I can think of NOTHING else but work... I can imagine NOTHING else but work...

I am doing NOTHING else but work.... (besides blogging this complain entry)

WHO DARES TO TELL ME THAT THEY ARE FACING MORE STRESS THEN ME?????

[--- DMC and SDFTV students are not qualified ---]


People compare studying as compared to climbing a mountain... When you reach the top, you reap the reward of the splendid view and accomplishment...

BUT what happens when the mountain gets too steep? What happens when you face a cliff of solid rock in front of you? What happens when it is not WITHIN your ability to climb the mountain?
... and the worst part is... you have exhausted all your energy?

The only way is to crawl down the mountain slopes... OR even faster, fling yourself of the point of the mountain where you are at now...

Point is. When you have endeavoured so hard, and you meet an obstacle that you CANNOT pass, the only way up is to go down.


Grrrah... Hate my life

My Deferece Towards People With Good Looks

Hmm... Do you ever wonder what are human's first reactions when they see somebody that is better then them?

Be it better then me acadamically, socially, physically or spiritually, as long as a person is better then me, I show that person a certain due amount of respect...

But I notice that I tend to do something very wierd when I see somebody that is better looking then me... (not to say that I am VERY good looking like that... pfff... I am jus very self-conscious of every action that I make)

Senario:

1) Andrew is walking down from Heeren towards Plaza Singapura (basically, because I do not know why.. ALL the good looking guys seem to be taking strolls up and down from that particular area)

2) He sees a good looking guy walking towards his direction...
(definition of good-looking
- Flawless complexion
- Nice hairstyle
- Balanced physique
- Toned (muscle-wise)
- Speaks english fluently
- Poises himself in any fashion befitting of a STRAIGHT guy)

3) This catches Andrew's eyes, and Andrew starts to wonder/gaze/muse/envy that guy. This goes on for awhile*, till it has passes Andrew's 180 deegree line of sight rule.
(*note that the timing varies depending on how good looking the guy is - sometimes, the 180 deegree rule is broken even. If so, that guy must be REALLY super good lookign....)

4) ...... halfway while Andrew is oogling... the guy notices him. (arrgh...)

5) Andrew's gaze is directed TOWARDS THE GROUND as he desperately tries to tear his eyes away from the hunk/adonis/cutie/whatever.

ok... I'll stop here. Because this is the funny part...

Why of all things, towards the ground?

Its not a habit, as I do not do that when I see good looking gals, nor when I see somebody who is better then me acadamically/spiritually etc. It only happens when I am looking at somebody who is much more good looking then me (for definition of good looking, its up above)

Explode. There was one time when I couldnt tear my eyes away from this guy on the MRT. He was like SO good looking.... no joke. Julian Hee can eat his dust. But my centre-vision kept refocusing around him. And when he looked back, I tried damm hard to look at something/somebody else, but failed...

Then he smiled at me =X

I know he is straight. Because my inbuilt radar didnt issue the slightest warning.

but it was still enough to make me turn a slight shade of pink..... arrgh.. bet you guys never seen me like that before..


But why do human instincts make my eyes turn down towards the ground?
My only reason I can come up with is that I give people with good looks, a very high amount of respect.
Firstly, because, without knowing a person acadmaically or socially, you judge a person base on their looks, (aka First Impression). This is the foundation for almost any type of activity that per-chance, might occur in the future.

This is why people with good looks usually have the largest retinue of friends at the fastest possible time. (note that this does not mean they have the longest periods of friendships)

Thus, conclusion :
For the best possible social life, it is highly essential to have 1) Good looks, 2) Character.
If you have this both, even acadamic-wise, NOBODY will be able to stand a chance against you.

... of course you must refrain from falling into the autistic categary also lah! (lolz.. Ryan)

haha... what I would do to make myself become the 10/10 guy I always dreamt of becoming....
lolz....

that day might come, it might not.. but I will always be trying...

Once a metrosexual, always a metrosexual...

Feeling feverish now... Rather lerthargic and blue...

Wish I have someone to snuggle up a upon now... Feeling so cold...
erpz... nice weather to complement it too...
When I juz typed "cold" I heard thunder and it started raining...

.. bah.. i'll juz go to sleep.... but before I go, there's more!

Wanna tell if you're a good friend? Juz try not to fall into these categaries... (due to plagarism measures, I would not mention my sources)

THE USER -
Symptoms :
It doesnt' matter how long you've known a user, beacause they act the same way to all their friends... That is, they dont call unless they need something.
The Users usually have a chip on his or her shoulder the size of Bukit Timah Hill, and think that the whole world owes them a living, presuming that everybody shuold help them whenever they need help.
But woe to the person who thinkgs that they will behelped by the person they help out. BEcause the User is exactly that, a User. They will never give of themselves in return...

The BETRAYERS
Symptoms :
The Betrayer is the evil person who dumps out all your secrets to the whole world. You once thought that they could be trusted - they seemed to be able to keep their mout shut.
But NOoO... suddenly, everyone in class are giving you dirty looks....
One day, you overheard their conversation on how you think that the most cutest guy in class is actually a walking boom-pole, and how they hate you for it... but... the problem is you only told one person in the class about it!.....
The most common excuse for betrayers is that it was a slip of the tongue...

The BACKSTABBERS
Symptoms :
Seemingly, the sweetest (maybe until quite plastic), most charming friend you think you could have, always telling you joke and sharing everythign she has with you. Basically, everything a best friend would do. In fact, you spend more time with her then you other best friends, and slowly they lose you, or rather you lose them...
But one day, your ex-best friend (whom you lost), comes to you and tells ya that the backstabbe has been going around telling tales about how you are so selfish, ignorent, stupid and stubborn. But the truth is you're quite the opposite....
Problem is, by that the time you know it, it has already been too late...

The FAIR WEATHER FRIENDS
Symptoms :
When all is fine in your world, the Fair weather friend is always there to share you happiness and join in your fun. Then the sky suddenly caves in on you, your parents are fighting, your bro is sick, you flunk your test and you screwed up your wardrobe....
this is THE time you need a friend by you side (especially with the wardrobe thingie) but when you try and find the Fair Weather Friends, they are........ gone. They avoid your phonecalls, your emails, and even physical contact...
And only when your situation is normal, they return and join you again...
Their most common excuse is that "Oh I was too busy!", yea... to busy trying to find another friend to "share" their happiness....


yupz... of coz there are a few more categaries... but I shan't bother writing anymore... haha...

I'm glad that most of my friends aren't like that, but ineveitably, there will be a few in your life who fall into one of these categaries...
It is at this point of times when you realize who are the real and true friends in your life...

B e i t
a) Loud
b) Feminine
c) Whiney
d) Imperialistic
e) Talketive
f) Lazy
g) Wierd

- these are no excuse for saying that they are not worth being friends....
they have a side that are truly worth making friends with.... and when you uncover that side, more often then not, they become a truly valuable friend...


stay cool dudez
=D
