denslin: you've a mission - if you find any person with GPA around 3.8 and managed to squeeze into ntu, tell me and make my day

the very nice and cute tc: why not i give you the mission of telling me you got GPA 3.9+++ and you got into ntu and make our day?

Little things make me feel cherished and loved
They spur me on

女人早慧，看破一切，知道人世间最后就是走向虚空，尤其是那不可捉摸的爱情，一捉到机会，就要努力地为爱情留下一些铭记，你看，你看，铁证如山，我的男人是如此爱我。

所以整个结婚典礼， 女人最着重那本占了整个婚礼30%开销的结婚写真集。

女人要爱情的证据，结婚周年纪念，情人节，她们要看见一些确实的，摸得到的东西来见证大家真情不便。男人爱女人在心，口袋要舍得开。

爱我一点点：鲜花加烛光晚餐
爱我多一点点：鲜花加烛光晚餐加LV包包
爱我很多：鲜花加烛光晚餐加LV包包加JC高跟鞋
爱我很多很多：什么都不用说，3卡拉白金钻戒代表一切

男人变心比四川绝活变脸的速度还快。男人走后，夜阑人静时， 自己哭给自己看，然后摸摸那菱角分明的白金钻戒， 看它在暗夜里幽幽发光， 多美丽， 多灿烂。

有了这些爱情证据， 女人的心情踏实许多。

An excerpt from an interesting article I chanced upon. While most of it remains unfathomable at the moment, it surely contains some deep insights that touch women to different degree.

I need my everyday to be productive; I need to get busy. If I were to be left withering during this holiday, I would rather lie naked-assed along Orchard Road and be trampled by millions shoppers.

I dreamt of accepting a marriage proposal from Julian Hee, whom I barely know for a month. Oh no, I didn't dream of accepting it. The dream started off with him dragging me to all the wedding preparations that I didn't even know of. It was only then I recalled how he (jokingly, I thought) made the proposal that I playfully agreed at. In the end, I ran away.

Oh please, you know my heart is always with Dumbo Papa.

My dreams are damn ridiculous.

佛曰：看破是真学问，放下是真功夫。

可是，若我有一天看破红尘，很多事情就会变得毫无意义。 放下，虽然我尝试对许多批评和困难一笑置之，但也许是因为执著，心底里还是常常一片愁云。

思绪万千，许多往事像黑白电影无声地播放在脑里，我无法忘记它们，却已学会了麻木不仁。

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.

Proverbs 6:6

Recently, there are billions of ants in my room. I followed the trail (while killing them one by one, mercy) and found my Mentos.

It is really true that ants never quit. I tried stopping them but they always managed to look for another way; they would climb over, under, or around my fingers. What a neat philosophy, to never quit looking for a solution to reach your destination.

I know there are many stories that depict hardworking ants being busy all summer in view of the coming winter. So why are the ants in my room always busy creeping into my sweet boxes when there is no winter. Yes, ants think winter all summer - we can't be so naive as to assume summer will last forever. Perhaps, somehow, Singapore will enjoy (suffer from) winter one fine day.

According to a fortune teller, my distant eyes (don't laugh) imply that I'm an easy-going person who lives day-by-day and plays by ear. Good or bad, I would like to think that whatever unfavourable occurances I am facing won't last long. Ants think summer all winter, too.

孩子！

當你還很小的時候，
我花了很多時間，教你慢慢用湯匙、用筷子吃東西。
教你繫鞋帶、扣扣子、溜滑梯、教你穿衣服、梳頭髮、擰鼻涕。
這些和你在一起的點點滴滴，是多麼的令我懷念不已。
所以，當我想不起來，接不上話時，
請給我一點時間，等我一下，
讓我再想一想……極可能最後連要說什麼，我也一併忘記。

孩子！
你忘記我們練習了好幾百回，
才學會的第一首娃娃歌嗎？
是否還記得每天總要我絞盡腦汁，
去回答不知道你從哪裡冒出來的嗎？
所以，當我重覆又重覆說著老掉牙的故事，
哼著我孩提時代的兒歌時，體諒我。
讓我繼續沉醉在這些回憶中吧！
切望你，也能陪著我閒話家常吧！

孩子!
現在我常忘了扣扣子、繫鞋帶。
吃飯時，會弄髒衣服，梳頭髮時手還會不停的抖，
不要催促我，要對我多一點耐心和溫柔，
只要有你在一起，就會有很多的溫暖湧上心頭。

孩子！

如今，我的腳站也站不穩，走也走不動。
所以，請你緊緊的握著我的手，陪著我，慢慢的。
就像當年一樣，我帶著你一步一步地走。

I had a relaxing holiday at a place I've always been.

Happy 41st baby (:

Love is a strange little thing - there is no explanation to it.

While everything has an extent to it, so does love. How do you justify who do you love more?

Perhaps the person you've been sticking to is not the one you truly want to be with for the rest of your life - she merely came by when you wanted to settle down and so you decided to take her hand. But there is always someone else in your heart.

There is always someone else in your heart.

Make a decision.

When we go back to Malaysia...

I began to treasure everybody around me after losing Ricky. 'Cherish the people around you when they are still around' is a trite saying yet only people who have experienced it can voice this whole-heartedly.

I'm afraid, very afraid, of the unknown. I prayed for mother at the temple today and I realised how much I love her; I did my maths and I realised how long I haven't seen my grandparents; I looked at him and I realised how concerned I am with his health.

It occurred to me that I could have sent letters and cards to my grandparents for the past 6 years. Now that I have decided to do it, I'm afraid that they will not see it. I am not a pessimistic person but Ricky let me know that anything can happen in a week, lest to say a period of 6 years. And so I hesistate.

can we go back to Kulai?

First resolution - to save one hundred dollar per month

I know very well who I am in their eyes. I've changed; things have changed. Perception hasn't. I've never regretted making the choices I've made. The only regret is they have accentuated our differences. I'm very unhappy.

But even I despise that me.

Maybe it really doesn't matter that I'm a new leaf. Maybe being a new leaf, I should lead a new life; a completely new life - away from the old people, old environment, old perception. I am determined to pursue my dream through my own path, however untrodded it is. I want to prove them wrong. I may turn spiteful; but I will never bite.

Because I am loving myself like I've never been.

The scrambled egg was heavenly (:

甜在心头

Personal needs, expectation from partner/friends and relationships go in a
cycle. The way to keep it strong is to realise that there is a limit to
expecting satisfaction of personal needs from a relationship.

According to the definition in FOI, risk is the probability that the actual realised return on that investment will be less than the expected rate of return; the underlying risk of relationship is the probability that all the promises will not be fulfilled.

Change, so many things have changed in less than a month - triple date to double date, double date to just a date.

I lost a friend I never thought I would care as much to God; outing will no longer be the same when another couple broke up.

Lonely, who is not lonely. Sometimes, it seems to me that the louder you laugh and the wilder you are, the lonelier you are. At least that happens to me at times. Loneliness doesn't happen merely because we have no friends, but because we are unsure about who our friends are.

I believe friendship and relationship are transient. I believe it is a myth that some people are meant for each other and they make a picture like puzzle when put together. I believe in give-and-take in order to draw a picture that satisfy all parties.

In memories of Ricky Liu Jun Hong, 19 October 1987 - 24 November 2007

Denson: very fragile

The gift of life is never more or less; more memories do not increase remembrance. However little time I spent with him, we had all the good time. For that, I am thankful.

Everytime he smiled, I would laugh at his little crescent eyes. Like a Laughing Buddha, I would say.

I looked up at the sky and wondered where is he. He isn't gone, of course. I have him here with me, within my heart, as I do always.

Heart of Greed.

The truth makes us happy and lies hurt. There are times when we lie to get out of trouble. There are times when a lie seems to help. But while you can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, you cannot fool all of the people all of the time. So always tell the truth. That way, you don't have to remember what you said.

All well said. I'm the Pinochio.

Life is like a marathon. Like the competing marathoners, we all begin our race together at the starting line.

Soon, however, the runners slowly split apart and go their own paths, moving at their own rhythm. Some marathoners make like a short track runner, and run so breathlessly in the beginning that they soon lose their pace and drop out of the race.

Others keep running, following the solitary, winding roads that endlessly bend and curve. Sometimes, you might be cheered on and your supporters will kindly offer you a glass of water that quenches your thirst. Other times, the scorching heat, the foul dust on the road, or the seemingly never-ending race that makes you dead tired might discourage you from your path.

Dragging your weary, heavy body along the road, you keep your motivation. While running, you look around you and come to realize that you are all alone in this long distance race. All the others you knew are now either far away or gone.

As you finally approach the finish line, you are overcome with exhaustion. At the end, you can either break triumphantly through the tape amidst the audience's applause, or silently disappear into oblivion. Either way, you become lonesome at the end of the race. That is an inevitable part of life.

I have come to the culmination that it doesn't help to rebuild the trust with the absence of mutual understanding. Nothing can stop the bombardment.

If only releasing my pent-up ire is as simple as pouring water out of a bottle.

Frustration is not having anyone to blame but yourself.

Gameplan was heart-warming. The majestic sound and the graceful double pirouette reminded me, again, of my passions. I know very well that these are what I want to do; the surge of excitement together with a tinge of bitter regret wouldn't lie. Well, we don't always get what we want and it is a fact that these are not within my capability, at least not now. But I am afraid that limitations increase as I grow older.

I am signing up for DanceSports. With Claire, or alone, I'm going (:

Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without
passion

I'm irresponsible.

I will be responsible.
