Is There No One I Can Trust Anymore in This Family?

I don't give a damn to what you'll be thinking of me after you read the following, scram if you don't feel like getting a second opinion of what I am.

First of all, greetings to all that only take and do not give, less said about returning. You are God's perfect creations of what a selfish person should be. In times of need, all you do were to go around sourcing for help, monetary or psychological, and never thought about returning the favour. If you should think the world owes you something, I only hope that Man up there can make you realise that you owe everyone else not something, but lots.

Second, face up with the truth and live with it, and not living in a massive lie. Get over it, you're only making everyone around you feel worse. Think about that 2 kids you have; think about the 2 elderly that raised you up, still protecting you despite all the mess you're in; think about the siblings that ever tried so hard to aid you that they even have to resort to seeking help for you from their own kids; and please fucking show some respect for yourself.

Third. Need help? Look for the person directly! All you did was to try to get some one else whom you thought they could help, and if they can't, you very well know they'll go all out just to get you out of shit. In that case, you won't feel as much shame, as you deemed. No. It doesn't work out that way. It made you looks more like a wimp. A crying bastard/bitch that simply begs for help, but not putting up enough courage to even ask for the exact person to help you.

Finally, exercise responsibility. If you think you're deeply in need of aids, what about the others? Are we to give you what we have, all the time, and not leave anything for ourselves? Tell you what, we can be just as selfish, and let you die out there. If not for my dear cousins, I would have turned a deaf ear to my parent's persuasions.

All along I like-d you all, but why must you people messed up and made me despise every single one of you? I don't ask for you all to stop getting in trouble; I don't ask for wealth and the excellent lifestyles for my good old grandparents. All I ask for is to make them feel that you are really grown up enough to handle your matters, and not let them worry for you day and night, for they have given you all they ever could, but you are just not doing your part as children to allow them some peace and quiet even at their age.

Want to see your parents dead still worrying for you, not able to rest peacefully? Well, we might well have a case here. I certainly don't wish for that to happen to my beloved grandpa and grandma, for they're dear to me. They're getting old, the time will come sooner or later. If it were to come tomorrow, can they ever find peace in their long-lasting sleep? I fucking hate to doubt this.

My opinions will not change, and even if you try to make up for it, it's not going to change the way I look at you. Remember, I do not help you; I pity the cousins I have, I treasure my grandparents, those are the reasons.

Remember.

Always Some Room For Beer

Always Some Room For Beer

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar...and the beer.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."

The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed."Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - your family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

"The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car.

The sand is everything else - the small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house, and fix the disposal. "Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented.

The professor smiled."I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers."

OITP Mates - 1st Outing Back From Perth.

And so, we finally had our long-awaited, highly-anticipated OITP Mates Outing since we came back from perth like, what, 7 months ago?!

And so, we went for ice-skating at Kallang Leisure Park. What an 'ulu' place that is, quite inaccessible, and the bus services don't come frequently enough. Ok, they don't have to anyway, not much people visit that place.

And so, we skated for 2 hours. Less than that actually, excluding the time putting on our skates, waiting for re-surfacing of the rink and taking off skates. Hmm ... Without the 'unlimited' package, it really wasn't that worth it, but definitely there was less crowd. Both good and bad points huh.

And so, we finished and ended up at Carl's Jr. @ Suntec City for dinner before we roamed around the area, all tired (except Joan that went home for dinner and Afsheen that went to meet her friend I guess). I myself am suffering from a bad LEFT heel and bruised LEFT ankle, and my right is perfectly fine. It better recovers before NAPFA, or there goes my 5 for 2.4km and shuttle run.

And so, that ended our outing. Seriously, I miss the times when we were at Perth. Looking out for one another, cooking together, simply walking around the town week in week out, teasing each other on stupid stuff (let's go jogging Da Jie, Lou Mou's Cafe, ear-licking and leg-hair shaving playing 'truth or dare' etc. etc.), rushing out of hotel room to catch the fantastic fireworks and having loads of fun on trips around the place ... And many, many more.

What fun =D.

And so, we talked about those days. Of course, more things happened today, with more laughters, as usual. It felt just like we're in Perth, just that we're without our big joker Zul and Lynette, otherwise it would have been a full OITP Mates Outing.

And so, mates, let's meet up more often and have outings like that.

Cheers!

Attitude is EVERYTHING

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
Well,” she said, “I think I’ll braid my hair today?”
So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head.
“H-M-M,” she said, “I think I’ll part my hair down the middle today?”
So she did and she had a grand day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head.
“Well,” she said, “today I’m going to wear my hair in a pony tail.”
So she did and she had a fun, fun day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn’t a single hair on her head.
“YEA!” she exclaimed, “I don’t have to fix my hair today!”

Attitude is everything.
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Live simply,
Love generously,
Care deeply,
Speak kindly…….

Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.

If The Price Is Right!

Brief update.

On last Wednesday, we went to Pulau Tekong for god-knows-why reasons. Basically, we attended a short presentation and talk and a tour around the Camp. We guys are not that interested, see ... we're enlisting in a year's time, why would we be excited?

Went on a shopping trip to hunt for D&D outfit. Instead of finding something suitable, we got ourselves trained in guessing prices. Each time, we were getting better and better. Haha. Yes, we walked around, searched, but to no avail.

Stayed home all day over the weekends ...

And that brings me to Today. Morning meeting at SGH, some lab work and back home doing almost nothing.

Oh, people, do listen to Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, a late Hawai'ian that sang very well. If you ever feel like going to the beach, listen to him~

The weather alternating between hot and cold every other day. Please, sick people, observe some self-discipline and stay away from me.

So long~

School, Lectures, Tutorials

Many people are turned off by school these days. Is it that dreadful?

Yes, piling assignments, frustrating people and intolerable weather ... actually, not much of the weather, but I don't know what else to say already ... are kind of stressful. In addition, we have our FYP to worry about, and it seems like everyone is upon completion, except us.

Anyway, that's not the main point. Just want to tell all of you all to continue to hang on. Afterall, school is not that bad aside from the assignments and boring lectures.

I have no idea how to continue from here.

By the way, my craving for something junk has come again.

Now I know what to write. After some contemplation, I've decided to go for AD&D2008. Reason? It's probably our first and last D&D together, so why not? I mean, yea, all of us are going to spend quite a bomb on the outfit, but I guess it's pretty worth it. So hopefully these people will make it real happening (right Chia Pei Yi?) and memorable.

What to wear then?

Apart from this, there's nothing happening in my life at the moment. School is mundane, but not to the degree of 'dread' in my opinion.

I'm stopping here to avoid boring people.
