My Thoughts | Sunday, November 08, 2009
I'd rather have someone who is true to me and themselves than to have them pretend to be someone they're not.

Commuters | Tuesday, November 03, 2009
MRTs, Bus... Some people can just sit there eventhough they see people in need of the seats. Damn la. Inconsiderate.
Been feeling bored and out of place lately. I don't know why. Haven't been absent at all this week. Trying not to plus I don't think I can afford to. The lessons this semester are more linked together compared to the last one.
Tests have already started. 1 down another 4 more to go for UT1 before UT2 starts. And guess what? My 2nd water based UT is a practical. I desperately need to start working out to gain my strength. Anyway, I'm in lesson now; favourite faci but like I said, just no mood... But I'm gonna try to start paying attention now.

Tired, exhausted. Let me sleep. | Thursday, October 29, 2009
Sheesh. Everyday out of class is no joke. Its fun, don't get me wrong... But its just tiring. The heat is enough to just make me wanna sleep.
Please let there be a holiday coming soon so that I may get a chance to roll in bed the whole day through. *Naughty people, don't get any other ideas.*
Cradle - Atomic Kitten
I will rock you like a baby lover,
Cradled in my arms,
I will keep you safe from danger,
Shelter you from harm...
There will never be another lover,

We can drift into forever,
On a love thats made for two...
Dont you ever say this loves not special,
Dont you ever think its not essential...Baby...
I was only thinkin' of you,
Hoping you were thinking of me,
Two hearts beating just like one,
Against the world...Baby...
I am always dreamin' of you,
Hoping you are dreaming of me,
I could never live,
One day without your love...
I will kiss you like an angel, baby,
Cradled in my wings,
I will take you up to heaven,
Show you precious things...
If you promise that you love me,
If you promise that you care,
I will be here for you always,
And forever this I swear...
Dont you ever say this loves not special,
Dont you ever think its not essential...Baby...
I was only thinkin' of you,
Hoping you were thinking of me,
Two hearts beating just like one,
Against the world...Baby...
I am always dreamin' of you,
Hoping you are dreaming of me,
I could never live one day,
Without your love...
Now you say you want a love,
But you dont think you believe it,
Just open up your heart,
And you know you will recieve it...Oh baby...
Baby...
Dont you ever say this loves not special, no
Dont you ever think its not essential...Baby...

I know that not everything is meant to be easy. If everything was just a bed of roses, then where would the adventure be? Its just that why do these 'adventures' make me scared?
I just hope that they make us stronger instead of driving us apart.

Singapore Is Too Small | Sunday, October 25, 2009
Seriously, I just realised how small Singapore is. I could have walked from Bugis to Little India. =.= Instead of taking the purple line and changing to the green. Waste of money. Though time is a factor also. But still.
Anyway, I met Cheryl yesterday- worked with her for the health screening thing at Little India. Little people but it was fun that I got to spend the day with her. Yk and gang were nice =) I kept thinking about how to tell Cheryl that YK has that kind of look... You know, the look like an In-Charge kinda person. haha... But I never really saw that look till yesterday.
Now, I'm watching Made of Honor. It is proof that sometimes, you don't know what you really have till its gone.

Thoughts running deep | Thursday, October 22, 2009
Everything seems different. Trust is becoming a bigger issue these days. Being in my course, there are actually many activities about this and I feel like I'm just realising something about myself -- it takes me longer to trust people.
Its not something that I find that I should take lightly. Trusting someone means to show a bit of vulnerability. Its where you find that you don't have to justify yourself all the time because you trust that the person understands you and where you are coming from when you say something.
And if that trust is betrayed? Well, I don't know. But lets just say that even time will take longer to heal that wound. Nothing will be the same, even if I wanted it to.
Secrets.

A true friend. | Wednesday, September 30, 2009
I was just thinking... WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A TRUE/GOOD FRIEND???
Is it just to be there for someone? Is it just to comfort them in times of need? How do we do that? What does comfort mean? Telling them what they want to hear or the truth? Well, this may sound weird but I decided to do a bit of research into this topic and whatever came into my mind.
DID YOU KNOW?
That friendships have their health benefits. Yes. Research has shown that negative effects of friendship increases risk of depression and angina (chest pains) and even increases your cardiovasular activity and elevates hormones whereas positive effects are total opposite.
In fact, it is said that other positive effects includes a better and faster recovery after disease onset. This was proven even with animals. They did an experiment where they placed a stressed out hamster with other hamsters and another left alone. It seems that the hamster that was surrounded by others healed faster and also produced less stress hormones.
So moving on...
How exactly does one be a good friend?
I don't think that there's one specific way of being a good friend because when I searched it up, there were so many different ideas. Some have 6 ways, others have 17. There's even an A-Z on how to be a good friend. Haha. So I put the slideshow here just for you to read...
But there are a few points after this which I would like to share...
Some interesting points that I've read from 17 tips.
6. Understand first "Everyone looks at life through his own lens. Often we expect others to see life through the same lens as ours, but that will create a lot of problems. A true friend is someone who is willing to look through other people’s lenses first. He tries to understand why they think and act that way. One thing I find helpful for this is learning about personality. Learning about personality helps me understand why people behave differently from me in certain situations"
I guess sometimes, its easier to react and then respond and then later realize that maybe I should have thought about it first before giving an answer. It is definitely impossible for everyone to think and act the same way. Well, if everyone did then wouldn't life be boring?
11. Rebuke when you should "In giving advice, seek to help, not please, your friend."--Solon A true friend is not afraid of saying the truth, even if it’s not convenient to the ones who hear it. A true friend cares too much about the person’s wellness that he can’t afford to let him live wrongly. Always have others’ best interest in your heart and be honest to them.
But what if they don't like what I have to say? What if my opinion is something they don't want to hear ever. Then what should I do? Keep it to myself and be a bad friend and pretend that everything is ok when its not? Or tell my opinion even if its something they don't want to hear? I've definitely had my share of this problem. Feel free to give suggestions on this one. I'm stuck here.
But no matter what...
1. Befriend yourself Friendship with oneself is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.Eleanor Roosevelt This is an essential first step if you are to be a true friend. If you don’t even accept yourself, how can you accept others? You may have made mistakes in the past that you can’t forget. But forgive yourself for them. You perhaps don’t have the traits you want in life. But accept yourself as you are
Thus, I shall make this vow, to love my friends as much as I love myself; which means to be truthful despite circumstances. Because lying to you would be like lying to myself cos that is how much I love you guys.

updates are late. | Monday, September 28, 2009
Was talking to Cheryl Goh the other day... and I told her that I was a little envious, cos I know that I'm not that great of a blogger. =P And she said that I should just update my blog more often. Haha... Its not the first time I heard that though. ;) Trust me. I think I have commitment issues to my laptop. I feel a little irritated by technology. Hehe..
Wheee.. My babes came over to my house last thurs. (Yes, you see. Updates are always late -- probably time for a new template again.) Mummy made fried chicken and daddy made prawns! So good uh. My girls come and my parents so enthusiastic to cook. But please take note my friends, if you finish the dish made by daddy... Please try to finish the one made by mummy also.. Or else.. Haha.. I was just kidding. Oh, this photo is Fir kissing Junsu. Haha. Babee.. Don't mind k? Hehe. (If you don't want, I shall take it off..) But its like so cuteeee... And I saw a guy the other day at the salon that looks EXACTLY like him. OMG luh.
Playing Badminton. Healthy lifestyle! *Thumbs up*
Yes, this woman is finally HOME in Singapore.
Missed you to bits and pieces. Goodness. Haha. This was in the bus after she did her hair.
FINALLY HER BANGS. haha.
Oh, Aunty Ann gave me a dress last week (on nana and grandpa's anniversary)
I used it to church yesterday.
Nice right? Love it so much. Low cut so I had to use this sweater. =)
But I think its nicer with the sweater. I love the colour of it luh... Hee.. Purple and pink. I really don't know what is wrong with me lately, I'm learning to appreciate pink... Weird extreme.
More updates soon. Just random research. Will tell you about it later.
