Inspiration

Inspiration, something that I really love to have. Be it a person or a thing that can be an inspiration to you , both can really push you to the limits and help you achieve goals that you might never even have set out to achieve.

The greatest victory is won without a battle
A winner says, "I have already made it."
The biggest failure in life is not failure itself, but the fact that we have allowed ourselves to fail
The light of success is within your heart
Do not let criticism affect your chances of success
The winner turns each complaint into nutrients for his success
Complaints help to lift the pressures from our minds, but if misdirected, they may turn into a killer which may take our lives away
Life can be happy or miserable. It's up to you what you want to make of it

I just love quotes and the time I spend trying to understand their true deep meanings of determination, success, tolerance, setting goals, being peaceful at heart, changing one to have positive mindsets and much more. I would rather have a big book of lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of quotes rather than having branded stuff or money because I believe inspiration and trying to change your mindset and attitude is more important than anything else. I prefer to enrich my mind rather than spoil myself with branded goods.( although some exceptions) Eunice just played with me the who do I love game. Haha, clues and more clues. This can at least give her something to think about.

I just added a new song to the blog. Heard it when Jamie played the song on the laptop. I just found the song to be very familiar. Well, its Elva's zhui4 shu2 xi1 de4 mo4 shen1 ren2. The song is very nice so enjoy. Thanks Jamie =)

Confusion

Yes or no, Yes or no. Well I dont even know the answer myself. But the overall person to make the decision lies with me. Well, maybe time can help me in finding what I seek for. Cant really sleep well these few days. Keep thinking of this and that. Go for it or not. That's the question. I still love Cheuk Yiu's quote, cherish those around you for you might never know what might happen tomorrow. I find that quite true and I am someone who strongly believes in fate because I believe that fate can bring two together and can create miracles. However on the other hand I trust that one can bring about his own future if he goes to achieve it. Like what my cousin Edmund said, your future is in your hands, what you do now is creating and shaping what your future will be, so work hard and attain what you want because this is your future, not anyone's else. Different people have different goals in their life, therefore they do things differently in order to obtain what they want. Well, as I mentioned earlier on too, fate does play a great part. If you are fated to be together, no matter what you do, where you are, who you are with, why you think differently and how long it takes, both will still meet and be together at the time of sunset and start a better life after sunrise. Now, I ocasionally think of the rhythm of the song Guardian Angel. Heard it once when the radio station aired it. It is sung by Superstar Hong Jun Yang. The song is terrific and I simply just love the tune.

Well, I shall do what I can now and the rest will depend on fate (sui2 yuan2)

Last Christmas

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I am giving to someone special

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I am giving to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby do you recognise me?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

(Happy Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I am giving to someone special

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Oooh Oooh
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I am giving to someone special

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
(Gave you my heart)
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Next year
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
special
someone
someone
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
who'll give me something in return
I'll give it to someone
hold my heart and watch it burn
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
I've got you here to stay
I can love you for a day
I thought you were someone special
gave you my heart
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone
last christmas I gave you my heart
you gave it away
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone

Christmas is here !

Wow Christmas is here soon. The presents are all coming in and the fun is here. Have been blogging quite a lot on Christmas recently.

Went for the road marshall today. Qutie a long one and some of us were quite bored as there was not much flow of cars in the later part of the day. At 12, knocked off and played some soccer beofre going to help out for a while in packing the room.

Might not be able to blog the next few days because I am not at home. So while I am away, please tag ok.

Talking about tagging, so sorry Jamie, forgot to tag at the NP noticeboard. Anyway,I have placed the presents in your bag. Thanks for yours too! :)

Enjoy your Christmas people!

Singing

Just realised that I have sang a lot during the past few days. Since dad and mum ordered a new cabinet for the television, they took out all the dvd players and hi-fi. So I brought all those to my room and started singing upstairs with the door closed. Sang a lot of oldies, so quite familiar with them now. Singing is so fun, but esp. when singing with my favourite chinese songs, those romantic and soothing types, wow that's my favourite.

These few days keep calling 1626 to ask the singtel staff about the mitsubishi phone. Quite a good deal, considering that it has so many features and it is $0. I hope that it is not the same Singtel customer officer taking my call, otherwise she would be quite familiar with my voice and my requests. So another 2 more days to dec 23. That's the day when I can finally upgrade my plan, 21 mths. Kept telling dad how good the phone was and he was like really ah, when go and where is the !hello shop and I am trying to force him to go to the !hello shop this fri to grab the phone. I told him that it would be the best Christmas present from him.

Opened all of the Christmas presents that i received. I cant wait till Christmas day to open them all, so decided to open them now. Let me see what I got. Mum's friends gave me some kind of mambo pencil box, then Mum and my aunties gave me a pair of nike shoe(lost mine at obs). I prefer this idea of my aunties giving me money as a whole so that I can use the money to buy what I want, instead of them guessing what do I want. Still waiting for presents from aunties on dad's side. That's why I said that I love Christmas, partly because of the presents and another reason is that the colourful decorations, people going shopping, gatherings, Christmas happenings do in one way or another make me happier. Actually wanted to go for an outing with the NP ppl to watch a movie, but seems like some of them cant make it. hmm.... try to make it ppl.

Got such a huge response about the Raffles wedding. Didnt know that NP girls love to attend wedding dinners. Like Jamie, want to go and have a look, Fiona, want to have the front seat. I mean the place is really nice. It is one of the most interesting wedding dinners I have been to. As I said, only be able to hold the wedding there if I have the financial capability. As the saying goes, Yi fen qian, yi fen huo. Why not the other way round, Jamie or Fiona when either 1 of you 2 have your wedding dinner there,then invite me too so that I can go again.Haha.

Ok shall blog again soon.

the Christmas season is here!

Wow, wow, wow, the Christmas season is here. Had great fun during the weekends doing some Christmas shopping.

The wedding dinner at Raffles did went well. Did not expect such a huge turnout.Got the front table.( Dad's some kind of close relative, seems to be like my cousin getting married ). The food was terrific and it was a shark-fin friendly wedding dinner. They gave keychains with a boy and girl in the shape of a ginger-breadman as a souviener. The place was so class, the lighting,sound effects,food,cutlery and of course the name. From there above Raffles Shoping Centre, could see a small part of the city area in the night. Just love that place. Hope to have more people getting married there. But of course, the hongbao would have to be heavier.

Just placed a new song into the blog. It is titled Last Christmas. Nice song for the Christmas season.

Dont have much to blog about soon. Anyway, I just love to roam about the streets of Orchard on Christmas eve. So many people and so much things. Really gives me the Christmas feeling.

Just got told by Jamie to update the blog. Haha, was actually planning to update it today. Hm, thanks for tagging at the tagboard those who tagged. Might blog over the next few days. Meanwhile, enjoy your pre-Christmas celebrations and preparations!

Day 3

Hmmm... Only Fiona knows what my title means.haha

Cleared the whole Love in Harvard series. Fantastic. I just love the show. It potrays the emotions when people are pushed to their limits and are forced to make decisions fast and giving up the other choice is a painful feeling. I seriously recommend this korean drama serial to those who love dramas. The shooting scenes and storyline is just so terrific and the end of the story just leaves one feeling touched. Still yearning for the show. Now, I hope that Starhub will place Love in Harvard in next year's most memorable drama contest. Seriously, Love in Harvard is so so so much better that Da Chang Jin. Da Chang Jin is so long and boring, always talking about going to exile, cooking some kind of funny food or whatever. Well, or at least I dont find it appealing to me. Love in Harvard is one of my favourite dramas, or I think my most favourite drama. Some other dramas just do that have the ideal ending that I want but hah, this one has.

Mum said that we will be going to Japan next year. Hmmm.. now after seeing so much korean drama, I think my next most desired destination will be Korea. the bbq meat there is super nice and the snow scene there is just so lovely. Would want to try skiing there again. And I think that korea is slightly cheaper than Japan. For me, I just love travelling.

While jogging yesterday, I just thought of something. Most of what we wear on our bodies start with the letter s. For example, spectacles, shirt, sweater, singlet, shorts, shoes, sandals, slippers, sneakers, socks, skirt, stockings.

Wonder which korean drama to start on next. Any good recommendations ?

Be back soon.

Wonderful weekend

Wow, what a wonderful weekend I had.

Saturday
Went down to TPY MRT station to wait for CZ. He was late by about half-an-hour because his tuition teacher did not release him on time.Then we proceeded to Orchard. I thought that Somerset would be a better place so I called Eunice, who was waiting outside the MRT control station at Orchard, to take the train down to Somerset. Costed her 90 cents for the trip. The 3 of us walked down from Somerset to Cineleisure to catch the 3.55 movie. It was 4.25 by the time we reached there. So? We had to catch the 5.45 movie. Haha. Meanwhile, we went down to KFC to eat our late lunch and went to the arcade. CZ and I played a game of Datona before moving out of the arcade. We walked around looking for the bowling centre but later realised that it was replaced by the pool centre. Not much time left, we walked around doing 15 mins of window shopping before going to the entrance. Guess what, for 3 people, I bought 3 packets of potato chips, 2 packets of regular popcorn and 2 cups of drinks. We walked into the cinema hall with our hands full of food and started eating all the way till the movie ended. The movie was great and we laughed at all the charactors, mainly the pig whom we named after someone.Haha.
After the movie, we were left with half a packet of popcorn. CZ finished 2 packets of potato chips, I finished 1 packet of popcorn and 3/4 packet of potato chips, and the rest you can guess ended up with who. The toilets on the 5th floor were faulty so we went down to the 4th floor ones, which were also faulty, and then down to the 3rd floor ones. CZ wanted to buy chicken little stuff so we went down to Paragon to look for it. We went in to all the sport shops and were like commenting on the goods they had. We found a few chicken little stuffed toys at Metro but went to compare the prices of the same product at Toys R Us. The price range were about the same. Like small kids, we walked around Toys R Us and looked at the new toys and played with some. Haha. CZ suggested we go to Plaza Singapura next and so the 3 of us went there. After walking for 15 mins, we finally reached Plaza Singapura. It was by then 9.35 pm. I had to go and so did Eunice. However, she was hungry ( even though she ate so much tidbits ). I rushed her to buy some bread and we went off to the MRT station to go home.

Sunday
We were staying at my cousin's place near Loyang. My family went off to the temple in the morning before going to Loyang Point. There, my aunt rented Love in Harvard's 9-18 episode. At her house, after watching the 10th episode, I felt bored and went upstairs to play with Justin. Wow, Bryan was crying in the room. Why? His younger brother did not let him have the XboX controller. lol. I was the "mediator". I told Justin to give me the controller and I started playing myself.Haha. Both brothers did not have the controller, Fair. In the evening, we went down to Tampines Mall to shop for Christmas presents. Again, Toys R Us. Walked around there with the 2 small kids to shop for their Christmas Presents before going for dinner. In the night, watched the Star awards before turning in.

Oh, placed the Love in Harvard song in the blog. The introduction may not be that appealing but the chorus is nice. The pronunciation of the English might not be that accurate too.

Jamie, its ok that you cant turn up. I just thought that you might be able to last minute. No apologies required. Fiona also could not make it too. Next time, I will book you in advanced ok?Haha.

Han Wei, the bbq was cancelled. I wanted to tell you about it but you were in camp. Dont worry, I did not wait at all. I knew of that matter only in the morning.

Changes

So many changes today. Firstly, YT cannot watch the movie and cant find a suitable substitute. Then YH told me that her piano lesson got brought forward and cant go to eat the ice-cream buffet. Later, called CZ to ask him to go. He said that his tuition teacher changed the timing to 12.45 so have to watch the movie at a later time. Next, I was told at the very last minute that the bbq was cancelled as not many people were going. Called Eunice and she said that she was able to go. Then remembered mich. Called her to see if she was going. She said that she will be eating the ice-cream buffet and go around Orchard shopping. ok so will be meeting later on. Wanted to call Jamie along but she has tuition until 4. Hmmm.... How many changes now, about 5. But I found out something from this. CZ was very appreciative. He went to sms me again to ask me if there is another timing when he told me earlier on that he could not make it as his tuition was at 12.45. Well, what I can see from this is that he is interested to go and has the what I call, "heart". Well, cant blame the rest too, except for the bbq. So angry with them, no one even bothered to tell me that it was cancelled until I went to ask. Oh and I have to apologise to Mich too, I did not went there at 1 when I was suppossed to. So sorry. Well, but I am still going watch the movie later and shop around. Remember my viewers, please inform your participants or friends should you have last minute changes and not be like the bbq people, able to inform but could not be bothered to do so.
