One day, all my hardwork will shine through.

Why I should do well for prelims

Overcoming physical constraints.
Motivation from inspiring friends.
Understanding and patient friends, much more than I can ask for.
Healthy class environment.
God's love and blessing.
Through prayer.
Very nice and understanding tutors.
No other commitments CCA wise.
Good school support.
Long awaited familiarity with HCJC.
Abundance of practice questions waiting for me to learn them.
Organized departments and schedules on the school's part.
Not being very stressed, ironically.

I am strong, I am determined, and nothing can stop me.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other pe...ople won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. - One Tree Hill

SL project

This blogpost is to remind myself why I wanna organize a SL project, so that when I'm darn busy I'll still churn out some time for it no matter what.

Firstly, there is barely no meaning in my life. I want to effect changes in someone's life, even if it's just one person, in a small way, to make someone feel happy for awhile, it's enough for me.

I can't stand it that I live through everyday like nothing and i can't remember nuts about my life...

The power to effect change! And I'm even luckier that Kang Li is as enthusiastic as me. Kudos to all our productive discussions and her passion really rubs off me! Hard to find someone who is into the SL not for portfolio but really with the passion to help. Hopefully I can learn more from her! Life is not all about paper. (although admittedly it's quite important, but there are more meaningful things in life. Too bad people are too short-sighted to realise that.)

Cuz you know that maybe it's time for miracles

Today I made a choice. I comfort myself by saying that there's nothing to lose.......but this seems so out of the world. I wonder if I will come to regret this choice. I hope not and that...miracles will happen. =)

rays of hope for humankind

Hey guys! I'm back home finally, after a warmm shower. It's raining heavily now, and I arrived home drenched wet, tired, late and lonely but I am still really happy! Its amazing how i always get inspired when it rains! =) I met the two most beautiful person I have seen this year. Wow.

This was what happened: I was walking home after school by the front gate, and got caught in the rain. Gasping, i managed to make it to the HDB in time. The rain started pouring and there was lightning everywhr, so I just squatted there and waited for the rain to pass.

Then this man and his son walked by, and the man offered me his umbrella to share with his son! I was like shell-shocked. Nothing unusual right?

That was then i realised he only had one umbrella for both him and his son. I gestured that we 3 could share the umbrella but he just laughed it off and started sprinting to the busstop! He said he was "waterproof". I was shell-shocked. It isnt some small drizzle okay? That was a full-fledged thunderstorm and he was definitely drenched wet..

He drenched himeself wet, just so that I can have the umbrella and be dry all the way to the busstop at his expense! He was even carrying a guitar that might be spoiled in the rain, but he didn't even give it a moments thought to help me!

I don't even know if my closest friends will be willing to do that for me. I doubt it.

And so, the good will definitely be rewarded. Even to a random passer-by like me, i could tell immediately that he was rewarded already: His son! The son was reallywarm, cute and kind . He didnt blame me or anything abt his father! When i asked abt his father, he just giggled and said "nvm!" "he said he was waterproof!" Omg.

It may have just been a small act of kindness, but it has inevitably touched me all the way into my heart.

Nowadays, people are so superficial that i am not even shocked anymore....Who cares about fashion? Cliques that only make people feel lonelier? Popularity? I bet alot of people do, to a certain extent. But this random act of kindness left me shell-shocked and warm as a muffin.

I may not be the kindest, nicest or the most polite person, but i will try my very best...

God bless.

If I had my life to live over, I’d dare to make more mistakes next time. I’d relax; I’d limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I’d have fewer imaginary ones. You see, I’m one of those people who lived sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I had my moments, and if I had to do it over again, I’d have more of them. In fact, I’d try to have nothing else. Just moments, one after the other, instead of living so many years ahead of each day. I’ve been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat, and a parachute. If I had it to do over again, I would travel lighter than I have. If I had my life to live over again, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances; I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies.
