overgrowth

Although only 5-10% of what i focused on, came out for my paper today, I didn't feel stressed at all. I wasn't afraid that I will fail this paper... Is it because of the power of the prayers that cause me to hallucinate that I am going to pass? or will the prayers plus my effort, really help me to pass? ... It doesn't matter now... Time to prepare for my next paper!!

happy times

attention!

Sometimes, you feel that you need some attention from others. Just want to share with you that you can actually get the same kind of attention from yourself...
I'm not joking... When you start to crave attention from some other people, and when you cannot get it, or when the other people cannot give it, you can try to give attention to yourself... haha.. Suddenly, this just sound a bit ridiculous.. But I still want to stick to what i believe in :o ... Can i? ....

:p

Use the power to do whatever is within your control to fulfill what you want.

I ran out of the house just now because I wanted to take a photo of the nice orangey and pinkish sky that appeared suddenly as the sun was setting. I didn't rush down in time... :/

.
.

I think... I will just stick with "gr" as my english name for now ba...

tobi or toby, that is not the qn...

Is this a sign that I should use "Tobi" as my english name? "Toby" was one of my choices the last time I thought about this matter...


We spent $8 on all these, which excludes the drinks. It was super worth it as the food is quite tasty too. This is another food court that goes against the view I had of food from food courts. It is located near the bus interchange at tampines. I think it is called "Eastlink sth..." :/ Anyway, the only bad impression we had of the food and place, was that jo saw tiny and thick black hairs on part of the pig's skin... haha.. :p

Anybody interested in helping out? Anyway, the lady at the tuition centre passed me this... I heard from her that the air ticket will cost around $200 for that period of time... :/ It was $70 during the off peak period...

pringple

It was really convenient to have all the documents all on the different screens.



a total of 6 hours of sleep for the past 2 days and zero hours for yesterday have created a pimple ring on my cheek... :s a ring of pimples... sorta... gross right? ... :s

Finally, I submitted my fyp... but I didn't feel especially happy.. But I appreciate that I can concentrate on my studies for my exams now... Jia you!!

graduate in 2010 *clasp hands*

If you have some free time or moments, and if you want to do a good deed... Please pray for me that I will graduate this semester.... :s

*pray*

real-life inspiring teaching stories

Story of Wesley

At that point of time, it was 12-14 in this badminton match. The primary school that Wesley was from, needed to win this match so that it could get into the top four of its zone. So he had to score another two points in order to score a deuce. ... Then, he managed to score a point! As the referee was announcing the win of this point, Wesley interrupted and told him that his win was a foul one as his racket hit the shuttlecock twice... The parents cheered for him and the referee acknowledged his courage and honesty.


Story of the Son

The father was teaching his son how to ride a two wheel bicycle. He fell down a few times. But finally, he managed to ride the bike safely down the slope and along the path and around his father. Then he stopped, and with his face beaming like a little sun, he gave two thumbs up to his dad.

I'll use another method next week :o

"Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

Twitter is kinda fun :o In the past, I'll only msg my friends 20-40% of the things i think about. But now, I can post everything that is on my mind. But I feel that I will lose chances to connect with some friends because I'm posting almost all my thoughts on twitter.... :/

tuition apprehension

I'm fine :o

.. now worrying about my tuition lessons later.... :/

silent cry

... Is it me? Or is it ...? Or is it just change? ... Or is it just because of emo-ness?



Even I thought I was strong...

.
.

... I don't want to believe that I'm strong... for now...

blind spot

I feel sad, not because I have one lesser friend to ask for help.
I feel sad because I have hurt her when I don't have the intention to.


Frog: Will I get lost in this great patch of grass? .... *hesitated for a while before hoping into it*

The moral of the story is that there is none.. or whatever that you can come up with.

title's block

On friday night... I just remember how much I appreciate friends who show concern over me. They may not do it all the time, and so, and maybe because of that, I am thankful.

And for those people who have stood by me, no matter how much shortcomings they see in me... Thank you all... You could all go and claim a free main course from Lai Lai Yong Tau Hoo tommorow. While stocks last.... :p

haha... I overheard this lady, who sat behind me on the shuttle bus this morning, saying, "Are you very happy today?" ... :p

I saw these posters stuck to a few lockers at ADM.




The above poster gave me an idea to start something similar.. perhaps... the sharing of good thoughts?

"This website/facebook group is for anyone to post and share the good thoughts that they have in their heads. Sometimes we may have a few ideas that can spread the good in the world, but there is a lack of action. By sharing them, others who have a lack of ideas, can and may act on them."

Is this a good idea? .... I feel that it is... :p
I don't know whether there is such a website though...

(STG= spread the good) or (SGT= share good thoughts) or (SOG= sharing of goodness)? ... :/

I saw this board outside Hall 2 and I thought it was rather funny... :p




This particular note made me laugh.. :p

I felt kinda enlightened after a chat with titus and daryl over a topic that involves the reading of eight characters. Everybody has different capabilities and we do not have to put in the maximal effort to achieve results in whatever we are more capable of.
It is possible for us to achieve all that we want.... It's just that, for those aspects that we are not capable in, we will have to put in more effort.


I feel like knowing and understanding my capabilities so that I can utilize them to allow my life to be smoother... But while having a lack of that knowledge, I must remember that.. life can offer us a lot of situations, and it is how we view and handle them, that matters.

lousy feeling

The worst tuition session i will ever have... (I hope... :/ )

Girl A: Most of the time, she looks like she wanna cry... looks bored most of the time... refused to do a question that i asked her to do..

Girl B: I appreciate her the most, because she is the only one who wants to learn.. Had the courage to ask me questions...

Boy A: walked around the classroom twice or thrice... said "I'm bored" a few times... read other books during the lesson

'Boy B: kept walking around... kept talking to other students... kept making noise... kept saying that he's tired...

Boy C: kept fidgeting... didn't wanna put in effort into solving the questions as he kept saying that he didn't know how to do the questions.. once i read the qn to him, he would have figured it out... :s kept talking too...


demoralizingggggggggggggggggggggg...... :s

anger management

Don't allow your bad mood to hurt yourself, and indirectly, other people. Like you, other people have feelings too. They, too, can and will be hurt... You can just accept it and let it go...Your anger/sadness/bad feelings will just go away like that... *poof*

It's all in the mind.. Just keep choosing to be free of that ugly anger... You can let the involved parties know by telling them calmly.. If the involved parties are the cause of the anger, try to get to the root of the problem. Is it worth losing relationships/friendships over the matter? ... It may be worth it.. but that's another story... :/

It was kinda interesting to play volleyball in the rain. But it was lucky that the rain did not persist for long. Anyway as it was my kinda my first time playing volleyball with people I don't really know, and my 2nd time playing it this year, I was asking the other people in my team why they.... "high-fived/low-fived/side-fived" each other once in a while.. Malcolm replied that it was because of teamwork... hmmmm.. *nod head*

I haven't been playing in group sports since my street soccer days in my secondary 3 and 4 period. I still remember that I was feared for my sliding tackles... haha...


Teamwork is nice...

look validation

Was watching episode 17 of season four of ugly betty, and it mentioned some points...

1) Does being not that aesthetically pleasing make you a more compassionate person?
2) Does being handsome/pretty make you more of a bitch/bastard?


I've always thought that being... unattractive can make a person better in the heart as there will be a lot of opportunities for his/her heart to be tested.

Especially during my secondary and junior college days, I was kinda unappealing in the size and looks department. I did feel sad at times when I couldn't get the things I wanted and so I had to be glad with whatever I had and sometimes I will just make up reasons to console myself most of the time... :6 like, if I was "bullied", I would tell myself that at least people are giving me attention. And another good thing was that, since I wasn't clever or talented or good-looking, I tried to excel in being nice and good.

It was kinda sad to think about that as there were times when I thought that I was short-changing myself. But come to think of it now.... whatever that works for me, right?

Overall... I'm glad that those experiences helped in making me a better person.
