-22nd and 23rd went out for 11am presenter
-25th went out for full with volunteers.. i gotta work on it summore!
gotta admit that it can get a bit nerve-racking at times..
so afraid that i'll forget or do things wrongly..
more afraid that i'll let my sifu down.
i get, cos we're like the same kinda ppl - perfectionists.
good and bad..
everyone has been encouraging, esp SS. =)
i'm thankful that sifu's who she is.
i'm thankful that SS's there.

i'm silently shouting out every single obscenity out there in my heart.
damn u.
yea i know wad u think.
all of a sudden, u guys are making me wonder my worth.
it's not that i dun wanna do anything, it's more like u guys are not communicating.
ARE YOU?
i have no doubt about myself.
no, i'm not trying to sound egoistic.
i know my abilities.
and i know my limits.
someone has to ******* learn how to be an effective leader and learn wad teamwork means.
start learning how to think and act like a leader.
learn how to delegate work.
learn to know wad u want to be done.
learn how to systematically get it done.
learn how to communicate it effectively to others.
the whole world's not on ur shoulders u know, why else do u have a group of ppl for?
get it in ur head.
grow up. take lead.
it's not me. IT'S YOU.
COMMUNICATE. PLEASE. i beg you.
*************************
obviously i'm pissed.
honestly, i'm disappointed.
just a while more.
i feel like i'm stuck in kiddy world.
my mind's churning things faster than.
yet, my surroundings are slowing me down.
it's frustrating. very.
i get exasperated trying to make things better when it can obviously be.
trying to do things proper/right instead of halfways and circles.
yet, many dun think on the same page as me.
it's like when ur mind's running full steam ahead but someone's deliberately putting on the brakes. WHY?
afraid to crash and burn?
afraid of the unknown?
who isnt?!

i love Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium.
it just brings out the child in everyone, not that i was as imaginative to begin with. lol..
honestly, i can't remember ever blurting any and every kinda "nonsensical" idea.. sadly, i've always been utterly "down-to-earth" and matter-of-fact.. but now, i certainly do think that there's no harm believing some "hulabaloo" and maybe, just maybe, there may very well be sumthing unexplainable and impossible out there =)
love a few words that came from Magorium,
"your life's an occasion, rise to it."
" When King Lear dies in Act Five do you know what William Shakespeare has written? He’s written, He Dies.
That's all, nothing more. No fan fare, no metaphor, no brilliant final words.
The culmination of the most influential work of the dramatic literature is, He Dies. It takes Shakespeare’s genius to come up with, he dies.
And yet every time I read those two words I find myself overwhelmed with dysphoria.
And I know its only natural to be sad, but not because of the words he dies, but because of the life we saw prior to the words.
I’ve lived all five of my acts Mahoney and I am not asking you to be happy that I must go.
I’m only asking that you turn the page.
Continue reading. And let the next story begin.
And if anyone ever asks what became of me you relay my life in all its wander, and it with a simple, and modest, he died."
****************************
it doesn't hurt to imagine
it doesn't hurt to dream
it only hurts when you don't
life's a chance
every moment's an opportunity
every breath an awakening
grab it.

distracted when i shouldnt be.
distracted when i dont wanna be.
why am i, by sumthing so small?
i don't know.
maybe it aint.
hahahaha.
i'm tempted to escape into the unknown.
to travel where i havent gone.
live a totally different life.
sumthing more than just mugging for exams
sumthing more than just working for the sake of it.
sumthing more..

there are times when i just wanna do nothing all day.
wanna just watch the sunrise
followed by the sunset
not to mention lying on an open field
watching the clear night sky
i miss chiang mai.
the beautiful landscape
dark night sky
dotted with tiny flicking lights
the kids who are content
their smiles and laughter
anu pong.sahditah.cheng de. and many more.
i wanna be more appreciative.
i wanna be easily content.
i wanna live the best that i can.
