Some food for thoughts..
You must look into other people as well as at them. - Lord Chesterfield
Every man is a volume if you know how to read him. - William Ellery Channing
To know how to suggest is the great art of teaching. - Henri Frederic Amiel
The most effective teacher will always be biased, for the chief force in teaching is confidence and enthusiasm. - Joyce Cary
A master can tell you what he expects of you. A teacher, though, awakens your own expectations. - Patricia Neal
*********************************
knocked out ytd by the time i got home.
kinda wondered how i managed to sustain for work,
by only a kaya bun and fluids for the entire day.
not to mention less than 4 hrs of slp..
sumtimes, i just dun get.
i know many a times we just don't
but it can certainly get frustrating
even the happiest have moments
cos we're only human
i suppose the best is to keep going
the journey within is the journey itself
test and try before trusting
and when u've decided to trust, trust a 100%.
it's two-way, earning and giving.
weariness creeps in only when allowed
sumtimes it's gd to let it in
but only for awhile
taking a step back
in order to take a leap further
disappointments are reflections of expectations
it will kill the weak
but strengthen the meek
so to speak.
i hate to disappoint
feelings of inadequacy
however hard i try to guard my heart
ppl that matter loads can always get to it
that's why love hurts?
(talking abt Philia love here.)
now i rmb,
"One's worth is how much you value another person."

Your view on yourself: You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you. / You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for: You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship: You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love: You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.
Your views on education: Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
The right job for you: You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
How do you view success: Success in your career is not the most important thing in life. You are content with what you have and think that being with someone you love is more than spending all of your precious time just working. / You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of: You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear. / You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.
Who is your true self: You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long. / You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
quite true for most parts? hahaa..

yea, gotta move on.
no matter how hard it is to forget,
just got to move ahead.
can't stay at this point forever.
does no one any gd.
for some reason, my nose has decided to embark on yet another marathon.
i wonder if it's full or half this time round.
photos always bring a sense of nostalgia.
on a random note, i'm really craving for ice cream now.
and maybe chocs too.
feel like writing again.
songs.. this n that.. whichever..
i wonder where have my past pieces gone..
twirling dizzily on her toes
round and round this world goes
will you catch her if she falls?

YEP, changed the pic again.
There's always a reason for crossing paths with people.
It may be,
family.
lovers.
best friends.
good friends.
just friends.
acquaintances.
and even strangers.
wouldn't count it as chance,
there's just too many people in this world.
i've been thinking of the ppl that i've met.
honestly, my memory has not entirely performed up to my expectations.
vague impressions of some, most likely to be in the back of my mind.
just need more time to flip thru the folders of memories.
but that's not to say that they haven't made a deep enough impression.
trying to dig up the past of more than 10 yrs ago, it's not that easy.
simpler to recall events and link ppl with them.
there are moments where i'd consciously remind myself,
to remember the things that were happening at that point in time.
Au contraire, these would be the things that somehow slip my mind.
Why?
That beautiful sunset.
The colours of the rainbow.
That sunshine after the rain.
Have we forgotten because we've taken it for granted?
Somehow knowing that someday, it'll come back.
It will happen again?
We'd cross paths again?
It'll never be a case of "history repeating itself".
The likes of it, maybe.
But never quite the past itself.
Something WILL be different.
We live and we learn
To take one step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly, or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's supposed to happen
And we find the reasons why

i've never had quite a colour sense.
hence the various colours neon lights pic.
NAH. wad non-sense.
honestly, wanted to put up a pic that i took
BUT, got some probs with the link thingy?? haha.
not entirely IT-savvy at all.
prolly make sum changes when i'm in the mood.
kinda like the way it is.
simple.
clean.
fresh.
bright-er. =)
******************************
it's been movies/shows again with my cousin.
10 Promises To My Dog
Family Guy
Kurosagi
i've never heard of the latter actually.
quite satisfying to see how he swindles swindlers though. LOL
*******************************
there's so many things that i wanna tell you.
reciting over and over in my mind every night.
i would.
just afraid that after, things will not be what it was.
it's been quite sometime.
longer that i'd expected.
也许，我没自己想象中的勇敢。
有些话，不说出来因该比较好。
告诉我
唐禹哲
一个人走一走
街灯下的路口
握不紧的双手
不知怎么形容
已被你击退的我
不知道该往哪躲
想不到挽留的借口
面对面跟我说
你已经不爱我
承诺全部没收
让我忘了所有
一个人重新来过
你怎么那么从容
怎么都等不及我回头
狠心的话全都讲完
剩下的路各走一半
也许我真的不够勇敢
毕竟相爱一场有太多片段
告诉我 怎么能忘记你的笑容
告诉我 怎么做才是普通朋友
假如你用心守候
不会是这个结果
你说的我都懂我却不能够 就这样放手
告诉我 悲伤的时候会想起我
告诉我 你舍得让我独自漂泊
有些话说不出口
害怕又犯下了错
分手还没有说泪就先流
