Only a life lived for others is a life worth while.

angels

2010-05-29T11:26:00.000-07:00

i see nothing
in the pale blue sky
but i chose to believe
that angels exist
because
they love us
too much

do well

2010-04-24T08:13:00.001-07:00

there are all kinds of human living on earth

we are all different
fear not by being different

stand still
hold on to your convictions

and you will be the one
on top of the mountain

do well~
what a simple sentence before i leave
from a prestigious teacher in my heart
wealth,effort,leisure,life
a little w is blessings
a mountain of e is rewarding
a tiny bits of l is balancing
a complete L is transformed

now that i realised
you can really change things by just changing your point of view
and believe me
you can!
do well~

the so called...

2010-02-04T06:14:00.000-08:00

this is the time where people compare
you to the others

where people choose to see
virtues in you

where people crave to stay
close to you

where people fall into this
so called... love...

true or false?

2010-01-20T06:41:00.000-08:00

this is something about religion that i find it very interesting...

Someone asked a monk about this:
You certainly think high of Buddhism. I suppose you believe it is the only true religion and that all the others are false.

He answered:
No Buddhist who understands the Buddha's teaching
thinks that other religions are wrong.
No one who has made a genuine effort to examine other religions
with an open mind could think like that either.

The first thing you notice when you study the different religions
is just how much they have in common.
All religions acknowledge that
humankind's present state is unsatisfactory.
All believe that a change of attitude and behaviour is needed if the human situation is to improve.
All teach an ethics that includes love, kindness, patience, generosity and social responsibility,
and all accept the existence of some form of Absolute.
They use different languages,
different names and
different symbols to describe and explain these things.

It is only when people cling narrow-mindedly to their particular way of seeing things that intolerance, pride and self-righteousness arise.

A Second Chance

2010-01-20T06:31:00.000-08:00

the American industrialist Henry Ford said this...

Genius is experience.
Some seem to think that it is a gift or talent,
but it is the fruit of long experience in many lives...
Some are older souls than others
and so they know more...

the reasons for my gratitude

2010-01-03T22:09:00.000-08:00

yea you asked me why should i say thank you
i would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity
during the last whole week
i've learned alot
by having outings with friends
or maybe friends of friends
this is what you'll get by meeting new people in your life...

firstly
i met somebody who has a great passion in music
spoke to somebody who believes me
and reassure me to pursue
whatever in my mind
that i have the quality to go on
walk along the path that all men disapprove

next
i met somebody from taiwan
sounds religious but not that serious
she is really cool and outgoing
a virgo who talks and laughs
and looks into your eyes so sincerely at the end of the conversation
no matter its under the stars and umbrella
or its under the blazing hot sun
i shall thank you for allowing me to join something i will surely appreciate
and yes i did

friendship stays fresh and long enough
when you know the way to reach mutual respect

and then
here it goes
where i got the chance to speak to the typical otaku
and here's a piece of advice that i would like to give
brains may and may not be everything
so before putting your life at risk
why not insure them with something presentable?

i'm sorry if i am too over
and i'm sorry for not being able to attend the photo-shooting session on sunday before your departure
i'm really sorry to let you guys waiting
lastly,thanks!
oh ya... its for YOU... who are reading this!

fly

2009-12-11T10:27:00.000-08:00

how high can you fly?
how high can i fly?

when will you fall?
when will i fall?

that's the question to be ignored and
keep flying~~

"wisdom"by confucius

2009-04-09T00:43:00.000-07:00

There are three methods to gaining wisdom:
The first is reflection, which is the highest.
The second is imitation, which is the easiest.
The third is experience, which is the bitterest
~ Confucius

The superior man is satisfied and composed;
the mean man is always full of distress
~ Confucius

(p/s: thanks Hui Leng for the notes!)

thanks for walking by my side~

2009-04-04T22:41:00.000-07:00

i am really glad to know that there are people following my blog out there
i always doubted if anybody reads it..
thanks for reading and i am hoping to get more feedback from you...

really grateful that i have you.. you.. you.. and you...
i am starting to like ktt and the people more
people like lim susu who will pk songs with me till midnight during the exam week ^^
v k who taught me so many stuffs that i cant teach myself
lilian who is able to tell real funny jokes
mei yi for always being so helpful
wei lin for helping us to save rm 50...haha!
the "pinky gal" ,"dancing queen" and little vimala who acted more like my sis
my "brother" who sent motivating words in japanese
daksh who is always talking non-stop and yet informative!!
my tweety bird who makes me laugh all the while by imitating somebody...lol
two little cuties joan and joanna smiling along the corridor whenever we met
bing en with her "Japanese look" and wong with his "Chinese look"
cheng who intended to kill me for fooling him during the 1th of april
and many many more people whom i must respect
all those topmost students in malaysia...
cant believe it that i am here
right here with them!

i am lucky
i would consider...
having the opportunity to learn and to listen
to walk by their side
and having them be by my side...

to be frank
i will learn nothing without stepping out of my home sweet home
i will experience nothing without going through those days in NS...
where you have to take good care of yourself no matter what happens
make yourself look tough and confident while doing those strenuous activities
mingling with people of different wavelength
see things from a different perspective
getting more skills and knowledge out of the book
and so on...
so if you are selected for NS...
why not go and have a try??
let's think about the good points of it and you will feel better after all
let it be and enjoy every single moment there
no matter it brings joyful tears
or even grants you a bitter pill..
do you know how does it feels when you got the chance to get hold of a real gun??
that's really cool!!!

even if you are not selected for NS
you can still learn many things by going out of your house or
the alternative is to go online
but then, be wise to search for the best for yourself
i am sure everybody has their own way of learning and understanding and then
growing...
life is ever changing
and the only unchanging fact
is changes itself

i learn by talking to people and LISTENING
just like what i did yesterday...
listening to linda really enlightened me
in many ways...
listening to my roommate, housemates...about anything and everything...
listening to people with the same wavelength
and sometimes different
with my sis, dad, bro,friends all over malaysia~~(hehe...ai seh~~)
just like eating different dishes or a wide range of food
in order to eat a balance meal each day...

people might say
i dont like talking to people whom i dont know
or people i dislike
of different colours, attitude or habit...
i cant understand...
i cant communicate...
i cant give a positive feedback...
i cant do this
i cant do that
maybe we shall put it this way
not that we cant
just that we dont want
we simply refuse to understand and to learn...
we can actually!!
we can do what we want to actually!!!
with the good intention
we shall achieve that!

to be success
it is a task
and not a dream...
there are so many things to do
sometimes left undone
how do we know which should be done first and then...?
lim susu taught me this(its from a motivational book i guess)~~
THEY CAN ACTUALLY BE CATEGORISED INTO 4 GROUPS:
1.important and urgent
2.important and not urgent
3.not important but urgent
4.not important and not urgent

for example, for a CEO...
the phone is ringing in the office...is it important??but its urgent right?
shall he pick up every phone calls
or shall he leave the job to the secretary?
i am sure he has more important stuffs to settle rather than picking up a phone..
tell me if i am wrong k...

for many people,
friends might ajak to go mamak in the midnight
or somewhere else where you usually go lepak...
shall i go??then you will ask...
is it important?
important to what i wanna achieve?
is it urgent??
you yourself will decide!
but sometimes, there're exceptions...
like friend who you treasure a lot
those TRUE friends, i mean!
dont worry!true friends will start to appear as time passes
those who still care for you
keen to know how have you been lately
not forgetting your big day
and leave you bundles of surprises no matter how busy they are
willing to listen to you
giving negative feedback
though it hurts, sometimes~~
just for the sake of your own betterment
and one more fact that valid in all cases
true friends need not meet each other everyday!!

i have only 2 eyes
a pair of ear
a nose and a mouth
nothing different from you all
we made mistakes, and we will learn from it

we both have mind
some opened
some closed~~
lets open up your mind
lets share!!

all human beings will have a "ruler" in them
to measure to what extend they can do something
i would believe...
but we shall not measure others using our own ruler...
coz they will have theirs...

i might be wrong in some way
but i am learning the right way..

i dont know what is the best way for us to communicate
but i hope i can give you the best out of my very best
through this square screen~~

life's short, like a candle in the wind
live high, touching the stars in the sky~~
(p/s: though it doesnt rhyme, get the meaning and live high k!haha!^^)

all the best!!!

a piece of advice from a senior~~

2009-03-20T21:06:00.000-07:00

to all the juniors(those who just got their spm results) out there,here's a piece of advice ~~

1.DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO
A. DECIDED(very good)
B. NOT DECIDED YET-proceed to form 6 (which is equivalent to A-Level, which is what i am taking now...you may ask me if you are interested)

2.DON'T EVER HESITATE TO CHOOSE ANY OF THE SCHOLARSHIP,SIMPLY APPLY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, and then, CHOOSE THE BEST OF ALL IF YOU ARE QUALIFIED TO.

3.ASK! THOSE WHO ARE MORE EXPERIENCED
for those in CCS, i would recommend all teachers, especially Pn. Goh! she has the ability to see through you and tell you what you can do and should do! getting a piece of advice at all times is no harm afterall right?? so, talk to her!!

4.ITS NOT A MUST FOR j SCHOLARS OR ANY SCHOLARS TO GET STRAIGHT A1S for SPM
you might heard someone say it is a must..but from what i have seen, its NOT!
so dont worry about that! that's just a passport, a licence, a piece of paper for you to get to your destination..once you reach there, you wont need it anymore.
but then, you must make yourself "QUALIFIED" to be one of them first...if you are qualified, then no worries~~

5.HOW TO CHOOSE THE PATH THAT I WANTED??
ask yourself these questions!
-dealing with what makes me happy?
-what can i do for the society?
-how can i make the earth a better place?
-what makes my parents happy?
-life's short,so what i would like to achieve before everything ends?

** dont ever ask "can i do this" ? coz IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING!!

i have heard this from my brother...
one of his friend has already decided what to do in the future...he loves word art and can draw quite well and he plans to fly to Taiwan after spm.He thinks he can earn a living without studying all those redundant subjects in spm,but with his talent in art~~
he is "admirable" in the sense that he has the strong will and confidence to give up academically,almost all subjects in spm and due to the reason stated above...
the irony is that~~
if this is the correct way, why dont an international sprinter with such a pair of super strong leg mucles chop off his hands since he knows he can earn a living with his well-built leg??
think~~~

be wise be cool
get your ticket and fly high!!
wish you all the best in your future undertakings!

p/s: dear juniors, pls dont hesitate to come and talk to me or leave any message if you want to!^^

home is a place where all plans fail?

2009-03-09T21:27:00.000-07:00

getting so excited to get back to my hometown!
laying on the sofa
singing in the bathroom
chuckling in the car
playing on the beach
surfing in the cafe
... ...

i have been to mmu... ...
a place where i "thought"
should be of higher standard
and better quality
after making comparison
i must admit that ktt is a better option to study

everybody is having this kind of dilemma
where you have to and must
complete a certain task
within a fixed time
regardless of your will
whether you want or don't want

i have seen youngsters cycling around
so free so good
and me?u?us?
completing infinite tasks
obeying
day after day
for the sake of the future
shouldn't we play around just like what they did?
enjoying the splendidness of youth
i know nothing about them
but foresee the difference between us

the first day
is the hardest day to be endured
this is the norm
where i am learning to accept
we have to accept things we cant change
and change the things we cant accept

they tell you because they love you

cast away your fear
drift with your will
you will reach finally
and be the person you wanna be

~love and being love~

2009-02-20T20:59:00.000-08:00

let it flow like water
the river of love
flow through the world
flooding the countries
and make it a better place

begin everything with you
in order to create peacefulness
learn to love yourself would be the top priority
then the others
every creature living on earth
let it be your table
let it be your enemy
let it be the world
and the people

ignore nothing
simply done nothing
just for the sake of happiness
awaken
enlightened

love your family before you love your club
love the people before you love your country
love yourself before you love the world

the tool for proving the hypothesis
either revolutionaries
or missionaries

the truth of everything
ahead of time and science
lies within You... ...

love each other or perish

now that i know...

2009-02-11T20:41:00.000-08:00

i am now able to stand up on my own
enlightened
overcome every obstacles
that i must
keep on striving
the same phrase
imparted again and again
time to reflect
i am able to be here
HERE
with every goodness and blessings
brought from the past
food & shelter
of no worries
pa & ma
your daughter is awake now
no worries
no worries
no worries
everything is just perfect~~~
now and then

success?
failure?
i measure nothing on you
always be there
just live high and mighty
be the kind of person you have always been
you should be

thanks!

chinese new year celebration

2009-01-30T08:04:00.000-08:00

cny starts with an usual visiting by my aunts and uncles
a buffet lunch
with praises in the air
an hour trip to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life
to meet those people
whom i would love to meet
thanks for those handmade biscuits by my aunt

the trip back was a little tiring
the first thing that came into sight was thick smoke rising from the green building
everything was fine
soots were everywhere
firemen put out the fire within 10 mins
truly glad to be here AGAIN
a great contribution by our "dear friends"
who can't really understand
the danger of burning their garbage there
again and again
the same thing happens...

the story ends
my best friend and her family came
its like a tradition
year after year
unexpected guests in the house
thanks again~~

its time to say goodbye
to the day
that i look forward to, the most...
playing cards watching movies
and baby as well
were the last activity for the day

the next day
where something gonna begin
shops open
people started working
helping there is a task
necessarily
did it
greatly
guess so
somehow boring
likely
planning for something
finally
did something fun
giving surprises to a birthday girl on the 28th of Jan
a cute one, a short one
not so bad after all

met former classmates
thanks for the trip on purpose
quite touching to get to know that
laughter were everywhere
in the presence of this funny guy

some changed a lot while other is still the same
a song we sang together
and then a click ends everything
we continued our journey
from houses to houses

regrets creeps in
while silence hits
i should have visited him
whom i wanted so badly
planning was out of the way

people whispered
people giggled
adieus of everyone rattled
something i dislike
though i understood the theory
of ~The Enlightened~

a little frustrated
listening to excuses
repeatedly

don't count me in
say it at first

sad to say
she betrayed herself
not much to be uttered
not much to be heard
the summary is that
we had a great time
with seniors and teachers
a new picture
captured joyfully

great effort accompanied with satisfying amount
this is not greed
this is satisfaction!

today
she is totally upset by somebody
my friend
its ok
you learn the way to see people
from a different angle
peep it clearly
without fail
you will be a better person today

sang a few songs
insubstantial voices of mine
i would consider

my story goes on
with visitors from tkd
i am smiling now
while recalling happy moments together
hopefully our friendship last
till silver strings can be pulled out of our head

a night gathering begins
where there were great food and people as well
met somebody
talked about almost every topic
time flies

we shall meet each other some day

sun rises again
we shall meet our super senior very soon~~~

!!!牛year!!!

2009-01-01T08:12:00.000-08:00

thanks to my friends for all the wishes!!
thanks for remembering such a person
thanks for the call
thanks to the villains who taught me the words of defence
toughen my souls
the wound that i shall attribute to nobody
as it has made me a better person
let bygones be bygones
let it be~~
let it be~~~

and i'm now
welcoming
a brand 牛year
live high
live mighty
and righteously
live life to the fullest~~
and lastly
keep this in mind :
~"love each other or perish"~

Wave story

2009-01-01T08:01:00.000-08:00

This is a story about a little wave, bobbing along in the ocean, having a grand old time. He's enjoying the wind and the fresh air---until he notices the other waves in front of him, crashing against the shore.

"My God, this is terrible," the wave says. "Look what's going to happen to me!"

"Then along comes another wave. It sees the first wave, looking grim, and it says to him, "Why do you look so sad?"

"The first wave says, "You don't understand! We're all going to crash! All of us waves are going to be nothing! Isn't it terrible?"

The second wave says, "No, you don't understand. You're not a wave, you're part of the ocean."

This is part of the story from "tuesdays with Morrie"~~~
a beautiful one that i would like to share...

what's wrong with being no.2 ?

2009-01-01T07:55:00.000-08:00

It is 1979, a basketball game in the Brandeis gym. The team is doing well, and the student section begins a chant,"We're number one!" Morrie is sitting nearby. He is puzzled by the cheer, At one point, in the midst of "We're number one!" he rises and yells, " What's wrong with being number two?"
The students look at him. They stop chanting. He sits down, smiling and triumphant.

~confessions of a jpa scholar~

2008-12-26T19:32:00.000-08:00

All of a sudden,while crapping in the apartment with my roomies,this thing came into my mind...
Though we do look as if we are happy teenagers at this age, we have so much to grudge about!especially lofty expectations that lay upon our shoulders!!
jpa scholar can sing can dance can dota can craze as well as doing whatever you can think of!
but then there are those who label "jpa scholar" as "something out of the ordinary"...
ppl do!!
ppl do think that they just study all day long
they dont watch tv
they dont sleep
they dont play games or whatever..

stress slowly builds up~~
truly,
i do salute those who are able to cope with that
and
i'm really keen to know more about what do YOU think!
no matter the pros or cons or whatever...
no matter who YOU are...
thanks for reading this blog and kindly leave a comment!!
thank you!!^^

feeling grateful no matter what...

2008-11-17T18:02:00.000-08:00

lofty glances from lofty people
the rattling pace of our life
all sorts of distresses
will be kept low and undiscovered

thanks to my seniors!!
my dearest senior...
the best people on earth i have ever met

living together is a task
transformation is what you need
glad to be here
to be with you
to share the laughter and every single goodness in life
take care~~

by the way!i am always willing to share my experience in whatever field...
friends out there...pls do keep in touch ya!!^^

~words~

2008-10-27T03:07:00.000-07:00

Who are you?

You can be just letters and alphabets

You can have poison arrows

You can also be of comfort to others

The glory of history

The excitement of a story

The enlightening words of Great Teachers

The confusion of misinformation

Flow through endless permutations and combinations

You don't have any intentions

You are merely words created by the thoughts of different individuals

You are the creation of different minds

You are instruments of different kinds

Hurtful words erupting in the atmosphere find their way to the vulnerable

They can stay there festering, not knowing where to go

They can stay on and on

Going in deep

Disease of the soul creeps in

My dear heart

Must you ripple to the little stones thrown at you?

Must you be stirred by words that offend you?

Must you respond to unpleasant words with negative emotions?

Must you blame others for the words they chose?

Must you give permission for your soul's hurt?

Do you need to respond to unkind words at all?

If you do, my heart,

Can you reverse the mood by responding with words of kindness and comfort?

Or is it easier to submit to self-hurt and complaint about others?

The by-product of your over sensitivity?

You alone know the secret of healing your soul

Be mindful of your thoughts

~friendship~

2008-10-27T03:00:00.000-07:00

Fragile and delicate

Friendship that was established over a long period of time

Can be destroyed by a small misunderstanding!

Communicating - from our hearts

Listening - to our minds

Reaching out to clear misunderstanding in true sincerity

Those are keys to solving any breakdown in communications!

Let's not allow ego and pride to be in the way

For both are delusions of the mind!

Why hold on to something that is an elusion?

All problems originate from a single unwholesome thought

Which grows out of proportion when mishandled

Sowing the seeds for future negative relationships

Concentrate on the good of each other

Rather than the wrongs

Let go of ill feelings towards one another

Always believe in equality in all outcomes

Even though we might not seem to witness it now

Remember our mission for this life

Is to find peace within

and

peace with others

take care~~

2008-10-26T08:56:00.000-07:00

i love Aska yang
its kinda relieved listening to him
without any obligation
free and yet steady

i heard of something
which i don't really expect to be happening around us
i watched some drama series
finally finished within a few days
i thought of many thing
and nothing can be changed no matter how deep i felt for it

it might be the way of life
living here
with or without soul

man should believe in something
either god or something good
i have chosen the way by Siddhartha
i chose to believe the goodness in human
i chose to be an optimist

there must be true love somewhere in the corner
everyone is searching
everyone is losing
everyone is missing...

women's soul are sometimes vulnerable...
beware...
and be brave...
women's heart can be impervious as well
but then...
please wake up
love her as if you have never love her before
your negligent and your recklessness
hurt~~~~~

keep your virtue
discard your vices
treat her as well as you could
give her the best you could and
lend her all the time you have whenever she's down
if you are incapable of doing so
leaving might be the best resolution without beginning~~

dont ever hurt them
dont ever allow any tears rolling down their cheeks
they are too precious to be possessed...

my dear friend,
i really salute you!!
you gave me the power to strive...
thanks alot!!
God bless~~
and friends forever!!

It party time!!

2008-10-11T21:09:00.000-07:00

There was a class reunion+3 friend's birthday celebration party on last last saturday at Oh Sweet Town Cafe...many of them didnt turn up but majority did...for those who didnt attend the party...sad to say you have already missed something really nice and precious...trully!!!Nevertheless,dont feel sad k!!i know that some of you really can't make it on that day...dont worry!!i can understand!!that's why i uploaded some pics incase you would like to figure out what's happening on that particular day..(its during the 1 week raya break).

let me tell you what we had that day...main course is yang zhou fried rice and fried bihun.Then, we had black pepper grilled fish(yummy!!coz my dad marinate the fish just for me!!and the black pepper sause is actually home-made sauce!)and then fried chicken,which is quite different from those sold outside..fried dumplings...baskets of french fries,authentic garden salad,jelly and honeydew sago as dessert,chilled air bandung...

jelly made by me...

sweeties posing!!

one big family...^^

looking at their attire on that day..you can actually know how much they have changed..glad to know that some of them changed alot..to be a better person of course..or to be more matured physically and mentally.
like beatrice,my dearest "mei mei",she changed alot..from head to toe...surely, she becomes prettier and more matured, as in the way she dress up herself for the party.

like cheu ling, one of the "da mei nv" in 5sc1 also getting more matured...

bee ting stays the same...pretty and easy-going!

amanda...cuts her hair after listening to my advice..talks the loudest,stands the highest and always catches the whole group's attention easily..still the same...

rachel looks so sweet in almost all the pic that i took..haha!

koa has a really nice hair style after highlighting her straight silky long hair with red colour..i guess i am not wrong with the colour..tell me if i am k.

georgina is still the SAME!!pure and "indigenous"...haha!she cheered up everbody so successfully no matter where she is!

eileen,our "butcher" is still the same...having the same hairstyle since form 1 till now...curl up her body while laughing...and seriously!she did that since the day i met her till now...funny!!

what i hope is that..f4 stays the same besides changing!that's not an easy thing and might be impossible...but i still hope that we can do it!stay cute,stay cool,stay real,stay happy...

as for boon boon, another class reknowned "leng lui"...now kinda evolved into "yang guang mei nv"!!with her short hair and mini skirt...quite attractive wor...phew wit~~

wan wei is still the same except her hairstyle..haha!georgina complains alot bout her hairstyle and i find it really funny!!as people like wan wei seems to be more "in" than the others..including me lah!ahah~~
