Sunset at West Coast Park

all of you should to west coast park in the evenings...its really really beautiful...go there around 6 plus and just admire the sky till the sun sets totally..i never knew singapore skies could be so pretty and picturesque..the park is such a nice place to be at..u see parents bringing their kids and having fun at the huge and creative playgrounds..there're just so many heartwarming family activities going on..plus there's a dog park right at the end specially for dog owners to bring their dogs there to meet and interact with other dogs! so cute right..the scenery u can get is a plus point on its own oredy..(haha i sound like im part of the national parks board promoting wcp or something haha!) nway ya..the pictures above speak for themselves..YOU SHOULD ALL GO AND EXPERIENCE FOR YOURSELVES :D

nway im finally into my slacking week..its only my first day and i've been slacking since i woke up! chatting wif liow on msn and uploading pics from my cam...nothing which i had planned to do at all during this week! i was supposed to spend this week clearing my sec sch, a level stuff (which is an EXTREMELY painful and difficult task :( ), writing my essays (though i haven decided wad scholarships im going to apply for nway and i seriously need help wif them), EXERCISEEE (ahh i've been giving myself too many excuses to put off any form of exercise! and i really can feel my du4 nan2 growing!!)..ya that's about it...

heard results coming out this fri..i still dread the day for the same reason as before..but nvm..i shall be detached and unemotional!

haha! omg guess who this is!

hmm are we supposed to continue drifting on like this? not knowing where it may take us to, or how different our paths may turn out to be in e end..where will be then? just 3 years on..i dunno wad to expect anymore..

that aside, i hope i'm independent enough to survive this one week! cant even msg or talk to u ay all! :( but i'll be thinking of you and cheering you on in my heart..you can do it one! :) hmm i'm really really glad i'm getting more and more independent leh! perhaps its cos i can occupy my time wif work during the day..den after work i always do things i enjoy! which make me feel happy! like going to xiaogui's house, giving tuition, meeting up wif friends for dinner, or simply being a couch potato at home and watching tv from 7 to 10! den after that one of the biggest thoughts in my mind would be to go and sleep early! cos if not sure cannot wake up the next day den i'd wish i din have to go to work! haha

just had reunion dinner just now...felt quite happy..i like all these family gatherings..i tot i'd drifted away from my cousins a lot but in e end still can talk quite comfortably..den felt quite happy to help them scoop the ingredients onto their plates cos they were lazy to! i think it feels quite nice to be able to take care of the ppl around you..then i was thinking how nice it'd be if i had a younger sibling...hmmm

ahh channel 8 just showed a special edition of how my zui gao dian show was shot! so nicee..

going for ntu open house tmr wif bin, xiaogui and clara they all! shall go sit in for as many talks as possible to let myself see wad options are actually available and stop being lazy and hiding in my hermit crab shell and not be willing to venture into some unfamiliar course..like now i totally dunno wad ppl study if they go into chemistry, physics..engineering, accountancy etc..shall go find out tmr! feel so hardworking muahaha...

haha i was just looking online for meaningful quotes and here are a few which i think are rather true... and awakens our senses..hmm but i tend to forget easily all these seemingly common-sensical yet damn wise life lessons..guess all these people experienced life more and thought about these experiences and phrased their thoughts in single, accurate quotes in an attempt to capture the essence of their new-found wisdom and insight, in a bid to teach others what they learnt, probably over a long period of time and contemplation..so i feel quotes are really not cliche or without purpose! ya i was just quite touched by some of them..and i pasted them here...

Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for

-Addison

If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is a part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.

-Hermann Hesse

If you want to feel rich, just count all of the things you have that money can't buy.

Anger is never without a reason but seldom a good one.
-Benjamin Franklin

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same.
-Flavia Weedn

The best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other
-Dalai Lama

(oh the next two apply to both friendships and relationships i guess...)
If you love someone tell them because hearts are often broken with words unspoken.

Because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

Life is an art work without an eraser.

Success is getting and achieving what you want. Happiness is wanting and being content with what you get.
-Bernard Meltzer

For every minute you're angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness



And finally..i think this last one is really beautiful.... :)

Happiness is to see the world in a grain of sand, and Heaven in a wild flower, to hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in a single hour ~William Blake

hmm im working now..not exactly the most exciting job but still better than having nothing to do at home when all my friends are working! actually there're things to do la..just that really no mood and motivation..although i was reading the Today newspaper and there was this article on how to be efficient..and they advised, always make a list of what you have to do and start with the most difficult one..then you'll feel motivated after completing it and can enjoy the rest of your work without that daunting task weighing on your mind anymore! actually i guess everyone knows this theory naturally..but when faced with a list of things to do, its just tempting to start off with the easiest ones! so you feel you're being more efficient if you get more jobs, though easy ones, done within a short time!

haha so much for crapping..i dont think i'll get down to all those i'm supposed to do anyway..like clearing my sec sch n jc notes..not all of them of cos..writing my personal statement? though i really have no idea cos i have totally no experience in writing any of this type of essays...haiss...i'll do it when i find the motivation lar..i believe it'll come!

just went to enghui's house today..i always feel so comfortable and happy there..cos her mum's so friendly! so nice they helped me tape my two episodes of the 9 oclock show which i missed cos of tuition..and her dad even gave me a lift home..feel so bad la...thank you xiaogui!!

oh ya speaking of tuition, i think its really meaningful and fun..but stressful at the same time..cos i wanna make sure wadever i do with my students is effective..and not just wasting everyone's time and their parents' money..budden its my first time..so by the end of each lesson i realise so many things i should have done differently..im just trying my best to improve..2 of them are siblings..the brother's p4 n the sis is p5..both will grow up to be shuaige meinu lor! haha! the brother's more intelligent in a way but he's lazier and more careless..the sister is quiet and hardworking but learns at a slower pace la..but i think im quite lucky to have gotten both of them...the parents are very nice and understanding too..haha and i took a picture using my phone of both of them la..but the boy's a bit more shy bout taking photos..but later when i said u take urself using my phone la he said ok readily and even went in front of the mirror to take it so that he can see whether his face fits into the screen! so cute right! hehe...

hmm results are coming out soon..and i dread that day..cos i don wanna go back to school! cos i noe i'll be overwhelmed by all my emotions of nostalgia..i really miss school a lot..i noe im being stupid by wallowing in all this sadness now since everyone tells me that the only thing i can do is to move on and keep all these happy memories in my heart..but i really cant help it..i never thought i'd miss rj so much..i don exactly feel bonded to the name r.affles but more to the places we used to hang out there and the memories created there..there're simply too many of them...all the chapteh we played in between lessons, after school..joking around wif ms v.eera, mrs yeo, ms wu, mr ng, mr lee..even asha..all the maths lessons where she'll call us to go up and write our answers on the board..den having to check our own tutorials against all these answers..i miss the routineness of everything! of going for lessons as a class, to those familiar classrooms each day..following a strict timetable but not so strict lifestyle..i kinda like having everything planned out for me like that..this way i wont have to make the decisions and bear the consequences so heavily..like wad i'm gonna have to do now...ya..so everytime i think about the results coming out i just get a sinking feeling cos i noe im gonna feel sad stepping into the all-so-familiar compound all over again..

oh and thankew yk for the very sweet handmade keychain and earrings! even my mummy was impressed lor..den she thought u went for formal lessons to learn how to make them! arent you honoured?!?!

and liow! so thankful i have you to accompany me the whole day thru my work even though we're like dunno how far away..haha im very amused lor..we find the most excessive ways of communicating with each other! exhausting all means possible! but very fun! but i feel so scared and guilty cos i scared the sec catches me typing to you! but i think she already noes la hehe! and u better await the fabulous, surprising and UNIQUE (our word of the day!) cake/wadever we're gonna bake for u two! hehe..but don expect too much hor we're damn lousy one...

hmmm i miss you very muchhhh jiayou ok!!! :)
