The Hardest Person To Forgive....

is ultimately yourself.

In life, it is difficult to know which path to take, which pawn to move. Life's a one-way street. Once you've taken your move, you can't retract your steps. Checkmate!

So bring your mistakes/regrets with you to your grave.

Try, Or You'll Never Know.

Wohooo~ Last night or rather this morning, I did the impossible. I cycled from Pasir Ris to Tampines. Ok, it's not that far but usually I dont like to cycle much.

Was still considering whether to take a cab or cycle back but my friend encouraged me to go for the latter. Haha and I did it. It wasnt even tough. No sweat man.

Haa but I believe a lot has to do with the bike. Cuz it was really smooth. Now I understand that the $$$ spent on the bike is not wasted. There's practically no resistance when cycling. And thanks to my friend who taught me to change gears to ease the ride. =)

Surprise surprise, my legs don't even ache today. Only my butt cuz the seat is kinda hard. Oh and my arms cuz I did 20 push ups (men's style) 2 days before.

I must start training up. Vball game is on June 13. Power up!

On a side note, I think I will be sleeping on the streets in Buffalo. Boo Hoo! =(

Tribute To Mum & Dad

MUM

-She makes me breakfast no matter how early it is
(But I complain that it is just veggie and bread)

-She gives me a ride to the MRT station

-She usually can't bear to wake me up early
(But she makes me late)

-She goes to the market and carry tons of food back
(But I complain about the amount of food I have to eat)

-She had to make trips down to my pri, sec and JC when I got into trouble
(I had anal teachers)

-She taught me math and chinese in pri sch till she almost died.

-She scolded my A math teacher because she asked me to drop the subject
(HAHA)

- She listens to my rantings
(But they usually revolve around the same issues)

DAD

-He bought me little stuffs from overseas when I was younger
(But he got scolded by my mum instead)

-He changed currency for me when I head overseas
(He even gave me extra $$ =D)

- He bought me food when I felt like eating
(Weird cravings like crab/potato chips)

- He carried me on his back on the streets of HK
(Someone hit me on the head with his helmet)

- He carried me up home when I fell asleep in the car
(I was pretending because I was lazy)

-He just got me a new CPU for my desktop
(I complained it was too slow)

- He's gonna bring me to get a new printer
(Because the ones at home are screwed)

- He warned me not to step into a drain
(But he stepped right into it accidentally)

- He shielded me from my Mother
(I think my Mum caned him by accident too)

I think I must have been real good in my previous life to deserve parents like them. It is not about the material things that they give to me, but rather the attention they pay to the little things I say.

I probably would not find anyone who can treat me as well as they do. I am one lucky shit. I can't ask for more. Wait.. er.. Maybe less force feeding by my mum. HA!



To the wonderful and important pillars in my life. =D

For A Reason, For A Season, For A Lifetime.

People always come into your life for a reason, a season and a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, or to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or even spiritually. They may seem like a godsend to you, and they are. They are there for a reason,you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die, Sometimes they just walk away. Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilleed; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on.

When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season. And like Spring turns to Summer and Summer to Fall, the season eventually ends.

When people come into your life for a LIFETIME, they teach you a lifetime of lessons; those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person/people (anyway); and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas in your life.

What Might Have Been

Little Texas - What Might Have Been


Beautifully written.

Love, Learn, Leave.

Sally was a beautiful but vain girl. So naturally, her prized possession was the intricately carved mirror that was hanging on her wall. She loved the mirror because it was able to reflect her lovely and gorgeous face.

However, one fine day, Sally forgot to close her window when she left house. Unfortunately, a gust of wind took the mirror off the wall and it came crashing onto the floor. The wooden frame was left intact, but the mirror was broken into million pieces.

When Sally returned home, looking at the mess in front of her, she was flabbergasted and her heart lurched painfully in her chest. However, she told herself, "There is no point crying over spilled milk. It is never too late to make things right."

Sally was determined; she thought that if she put in enough effort, everything would pay off. So, she decided to do the impossible - piece the whole mirror back together. Day by day, piece by piece, Sally had finally completed putting the mirror back together! Although both her hands were filled with cuts, she was so glad that she could not help rejoicing.

Carefully, she hung the mirror back on the wall. However to her dismay, there were cracks all over the mirror and her reflection was slightly distorted. It was no longer the same anymore.

Staring at the mirror and the cuts and scars on her hands, she wondered why she went through all the hurt and pain. Was it worth it?

Just as she was thinking and pondering about the question, the swaying and unstable mirror fell to the ground all over again. It was an answer to her question/doubt. It was a sign.

With tears in her eyes, Sally felt really helpless. But all she could do now, was to turn and walk away. Because deep down, she knew, no matter how much pain she went through or how much she sacrificed, she would never be able to fix that mirror.


"THE GAME - Some things, you can't change. They stay broken. The trick is to live with the pieces. Avoid them like glass shards. After awhile, you will get used to it. You will know where not to step. One day, you may even sweep them away. But they stay broken. That's the rule of the game."

Head OR Tail?

So what do lizards do when they want to escape the clutches of death and danger? They cut away their own tails, scamper away and escape unscathed.

This is what some of us should learn to do. In order to save our lives and sanity, we should cut away our "tails" (figuratively) Yes, it will hurt. But because of that sacrifice, we manage to survive and eventually, a new "tail" will grow.

However, please note that before cutting away that "tail" of yours, you should make sure that is is just a "tail" and NOT the "head". Because without your "tail", you can live, but without your "head", you will perish immediately.

So which is your tail, which is your head?

Wise Up.

"To still be suffering is stupid after all of this time."

So, step up, look ahead and move on.

I—I believed—that in forgetting we might set ourselves free.
But... sometimes, we forget to remember to forget.

Stop staring at the rear view mirror. You will crash.

Size Is Subjective.

Just last night, I told my mum I won't be having lunch at home today because I'll be heading out with my Jc mate. So my mum said ok.

And this morning/afternoon when I got up I saw a note on my table. It says:

"Eat the green beans (red bowl) before you go."

I was a little irritated, but I cheered myself up by thinking, "Just a little small red bowl, I will finish it all in no time."

Little did I know, the small red bowl is a BIG red pot!

SOS!

P/S So friends, you all should know why I hate peas, beans or veggies.

And please understand whenever I'm late for my appointments with you guys. =(

It shouldn't be so hard.

Must Have.

Over the holidays, I've bought 2 important items.

1) Oakley's Shades

2) A4tech's Glaser Retractable Mouse

I've bought the shades because mummy has been urging me to get a good pair after reading articles about cataracts. So Oakley it is. Since they are the undisputed leader in performance eyewear. Not only does it protects, it is pretty too!

As for the mouse, initially, I was looking for a wireless mouse because I really detest wires. However, I came across the Glaser Retractable Mouse and I was really glad! This is because it has solved 3 of my problems! It can neaten up the wires, I do not have to rely on batteries and most importantly, that mouse can be used on glass surfaces WITHOUT mouse pad. I love it because my study and coffee tables are glass. So now, I do not have to use any mouse pad. Haha. It really neatens up my table. =D Oh mine's the middle one (green).

P/S Do you think I can persuade my sister to get the same mouse so she can dump her razor mouse? Her wires are getting on my nerves. Haha.

Sometimes When We Touch.

*Painfully good song.

The most difficult battle is inner battle.
Conquer/Confess. Choose.

Take A Chance.

One day, you had decided to take a risk.

You packed everything you had,

Everything you needed,

And went on to explore the desert.

Although at the back of your mind,

There was a nagging thought.

"You're probably never gonna make it."

However, you disregarded the thought,

And went on with the plan.

In the beginning, you were really excited.

But as you walked on, you realized,

There was nothing to explore.

Everywhere was just covered with sand.

The sun was scorching,

Your feet were hurting,

Blisters were forming,

The food and water rations were running low.

Your patience were wearing thin.

It finally dawned to you,

That this decision was a mistake.

But as you looked back,

You knew you had come too far to walk back,

And it was a point of no return.

Silently, you cursed yourself

For your plight.

You hated yourself

For ignoring your instinct.
i

But you had to brace up,

And trudge on.

Because you could not wallow in self pity.
i

Suddenly, you saw an oasis in a distance.

This could be a life saver.

It didn't seem so bad after all.

Then again,

It could be an oasis,

Or a mirage.

But when you have no choice,

You can only take your chances.
