做无的一天

ACtually, i have tons and tons of things to do but i really have no motivation to do them. I am just dragging and forcing myself to do them. 4th year syndrome?

那么多tutorial，越做越emo. 那么多projs, 越做越moody. 那么多uncertainties, 越想越头痛。jiayou ah... 还是去跑一下步比较好。。身体好，心情更好。

Went to Beatty Secondary school for an cultural exchange session with the secondary school kids regarding my cambodia trip.

These young punks are planning to go to Malaysia for a overseas Community Involvement programme this coming June holidays. As the teacher in charge used to be the President of Rotaract club, he invited us to go over to share our experiences with the kids.

Beatty Sec located at an isolated corner of Toa Payoh, just beside SPH. Frankly speaking, I was feeling kinda emo when I was on the road leading in to beatty sec. With the emo songs played over FM88.3, 更emo ah.. hahaha.. 成年往事，不值一提。

Nowadays, sec schools are so diff from what i used to have during my era. They have lockers. During my times, you can't even keep books under ur desk. They have cafes run by students. During my times, you only see aunties and uncles tending the stores. They talked to the teacher in charge who is a Maths and sci teacher in chinese and he replied them in chinese. During my times, teachers normally don't talk to you in chinese. Most surprisingly thing is the teacher spoke to them like the way we talk to friends. Students are really very different now.

I shared with the kids regarding the construction phases and showed them the pictures we have taken over at cambodia. And they really liked the videos we took over at cambodia. The videos showed the daily lives of the cambodians.

What impressed me most was the teacher's passion to teaching and sharing. He is so active in community involvement work, be it locally or not. His ties with his students are definitely beyond what a normal teacher-student relationship should be. But hearing so many complaints about being a teacher, i think the passion often get overshawdowed by admin and politics at work.

Took his contacts since he's going vietnam and thailand during the holidays. Maybe i can join.

wah liew eh... Must the sky be so dark now? How to run?

当我老了

My Brother sent me this... For his little kid... Very Touching I feel....

When i have my own kids, i will do the same as well... hahhaa...

Caught Horton yesterday..though i missed the first 20 mins cos i rushed over from roller blading. Considering i only caught 1 hr of the show, I remembered a quote from it. haha..

"A person is a person, no matter how small" Surfed the net abt it. Most talked abt abortion and little kids so on and so forth. But for me personally, i would see it as no matter how small your role may be, be it in work or in sch, just do your part. Every little effort counts.

ANyway, my friend's gift to his daughter (though it's plagarised).. hahaha (It's pasted on the walls in his daughter's room)

當我老了
當我老了 , 不再是原來的我 .

請理解我 , 對我有一點耐心 .

當我把菜湯洒到我的衣服上時 , 當我忘記怎樣系鞋帶時 ,
請想一想當初我是如何牽著你的手教你 .

當我一遍又一遍的重复你早已聽膩的話語 ,
請耐心的聽我說 , 不要打斷我 .你從小的時候 ,
我不得不重复那個我講過千百遍的故事 , 直到你進入夢鄉 .

當我需要你幫我洗澡時 , 請不要責备我 .
還記得小時候我千方百計哄你洗澡的情形嗎 ?

當我對新科技和新事物不知所措時 , 請不要嘲笑我 .
想一想當初我怎樣耐心地去回答你每一個 ” 為什麼 ” .

當我由于双脚疲勞而無法行走時 ,
請伸出你年輕有力的手攙扶我 .
就像你小時候學習走路時 , 我扶你那樣 .

當我忽然忘記我們談話的主題 , 請給我一些時間去回想 .
其實對我來說 , 談論什麼并不重要 ,
只要你能在一旁聽我說 , 我就很滿足了 .

當你看著老去的我,請不要悲傷 .理解我 ,
支持我 ,就像你剛開始學習如何生活時我對你那樣 .

當初我引導你走上人生的路 ,
如今請陪我走完最後的路 ,
給我你的愛和耐心 ,
我會報以感激的微笑 .
這微笑中凝結著我對你無限的愛 .

两姐妹.. Their Cute side. My precious little cousins.

我真的要走了

Got this in my mail box today! Looks like i realli got to leave soon... frankly speaking, 有点舍不得。。Quite a lot of regrets.. Regretting not going for SEP, not joining any activities earlier, not juggling time well between studies and play (i just mug).. Yep, Life is just full of regrets.





Contemplating whether to go overseas to work. Should I or should i not...

Your childhood Dreams

A Professor dying from Pancreatic Cancer who was told by his doctors that he is only left with 3-6 months of Good health. Instead of being depresesed, he gave inspiring lectures to millions of people on how to live their life. The very touching part is that the original intent of the talk is not for the vast millions but for only 3 person. His kids. They will watch it when they are older.

Not sure if i have managed to catch what he is trying to say.

His philosophy in life.

1) People vs THings. The importance of people vs things. A thing is just a thing.

2) Decide whether you are a Tigger or Eeyore. Never underestimate the importance of having fun. CHoose to have fun today, tomorrow and every other day you have left.

3) Work and play well with others. Tell the truth, know how to apologise and be patient.

4) Show gratitude.

5) Don't complain; just work harder. Choose to take ur finite time, energy and effort and you can spend it complaining or you can spend it playing the game hard.

Some Quotes from the Video

"Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted."

"When you are doing a bad job and nobody points it out to you. That's when they have given up on you"

"Brick Walls are there for a reason; they let us prove how badly we want things."

"No one is pure evil. If you wait long enough, they will show you their good side. You can't make them do it in a hurry but you can be patient."

"If you live life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. THe dreams will come to you."

Backpacking Trip

My next trip, hopefully. Vietnam. Maybe Laos, Myanmar and cambodia as well. Backpacking buddies anyone?

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away"

"Whatever"

New hangout

Cool place for manicures. Shell Petrol Station at Tampines Blk 800+.

They should change it to "Manual wash" rite? I know they are using their hands to wash your car.
