neil humphries talk in SIM

attended a talk yesterday in school by Neil Humphries from Britain. a real funny ang moh with good sense of humour and alot of wicked truth! indeed he has analysed this tiny island of Singapore really well. truth be told, cross-cultural is very facinating. there's just so much to discover about other pple den urself. then again, dat can be subjective. cos some pple mite tink its a waste of time to keep analysing pple and their behaviour. whereas there's another bunch of pple like myself who find pple so fascinating & interesting! :)
yup so i'm jus glad i attended his talk. good one there!

isnt it ironic

sometimes things aren't always the way it seems.
how true is this statement.
why is there such a thing as selfishness?
and
why must there be such a thing as emotions?
sometimes it's best to be ignorant because ignorance is bliss.
it's always better not to know too much.
somethings are just beyond your control.
so what happens then?
do we jus leave things as it is or continue to believe that you can make a difference?
sometimes family stinks.
sometimes friends stinks.
do u leave people once they become of no use to u?
or do u stick by ur frens no matter wad?
why do people bother sometimes?
when u are friends with someone, is it because u care for that someone or is it because that person is of use to u?
when u are in a family with those people, u didnt choose. it jus happened.
so what happens frm here?
does one make the most out of it?
or do we simply jus bitch and complain abt one another?

currently listening to Hoobastank's - The Reason.
how true, "i'm not a perfect person but i continue learning."
i guess the most impt is to nvr gif up on urself.
when u noe how to love urself, only then will u know how to love others.
i miss my innocence. i miss the days when nobody mattered to me (that wud probably refer to the days when I was still in my mum's stomach and when i was a baby)
but ya. ignorance is still bliss. when u have to depend on others and the world and wad was happening ard u cudnt bother/affect u. how nice huh?

i miss my grandpas. i hope they r well somewhere out there.
i miss them taking care of me. i wish they were still ard. perhaps things wudnt be the way it is now.

i need to concentrate my energy on things more worthy of my time. did i mention things? i think so. sometimes when u are concerned with people it jus isnt worth it. it jus eats u alive, slowly but surely.

positive thinking is wad gets me further.
perseverance is key.
focus is good.
i think i need a new toy.
i'm bored.
i need a holiday.
lets hope and pray i get to go on a holiday at the end of the yr.
visit my aunt! woohoo! go there and dun return! be a fugitive! haha.

well for nw there are more impt things for lydia to face such as her tutorial! so off she goes to do it.
take care all!

well yup. why worry so much huh?
if it doesnt concern me directly then better not to chap.
sometimes it's better to be ignorant then to know too much.
how true.......

inspirational

Here in the quiet you may speak to God
Here you may share your worries with Him
Here you may give time
Here you may find your strength for the present and courage for the future
Then you may go on your way refreshed
May God bless you and give you peace.

the caribbean 120806

thanks mei for bring us to ur place! :)
pix taken frm our saturday noon tanning activity at the caribbean. beautiful place i must say.
absolutely love the waterfall! (last pic)

movie: Click

after watching the movie Click starring Adam Sandler and Kate Beckinsale,
it makes me understand even more, the meaning of treasuring ur loved ones,
especially family.
wad r we willing to compromise in our world today?
money, our career, getting our dream car, going on a great holiday, credit cards for prestige or jus being happy spending time with loved ones?
they say money is the root of all evil.
but it's true, wad will we do without it?

life still has to be realistic and practical isnt it?
love may not really make the world go round after all.
but i believe with God all things are possible.
it is always important to keep it real.
never do anything to betray urself else ur conscience will prick u for life.
in short, dun regret anything choice u make.

it's a rat race out there, how many of us will hang on and keep going at it?
is it better to escape whilst u still can and migrate overseas?or jus go overseas to work where it is not so competitive in ALL aspects or bureaucratic!
life is filled with choices.
sometimes we make good ones, at times, not so good ones.
but hey, life must still go on! always look on the bright side of life!
one of lyd's motto in life: WHAT DOESN'T KILL US MAKES US STRONGER!

well, from the movie i also learnt the importance of treasuring ur life partner.
marriages arent obviously easy to maintain.
for God's sake. nowadays, simple r'ships such as frenships and boyfren/girlfren r'ships r already asking for our lives! all the quarrels, petty arguements, selfish desires/thinking etc. really strains r'ships. it gets tiring after a while keeping them going.
but wad's more impt? u being tired of maintaining r'ships/frenships? or keeping dat fren/bf/gf beside u? think abt it.

it seems to me dat r'ships between pple arent impt these days. why is dat so?
well, as i've mentioned. keeping it real is best.
jus be urself and love the pple ard u.
the pple in ur life are sent by God. and i believe it is up to u too keep dem or lose dem.
life is much more than pple, love, emotions, feelings, frenships or r'ships.
indeed.
but den, wad cud possibly be more impt then them? they r live pple standing in front of u, will u compromise dat?

in the movie, there are 2 scenes which touched me alot.
the first, when Adam Sandler didnt realise his dad had died.
so he had to use the remote control to go back to the time when he last saw his dad.
he failed to be there when his dad was at his last breath bcos of work.

2nd scene is when Adam Sandler himself was going to die from a heart attack.
his whole family was dere, Kate Beckinsale who acts as his wife, his son and daughter were present at his last breath.
he asked his wife, in a note which he had written on,
"Will you still love me in the morning?"
and Kate Beckinsale nodded in reply "forever and ever babe."

Adam Sandler's biggest regret was working his ass off his entire life.
it was precisely bcos of his big career dreams dat pushed his whole family away.
i'm gonna make sure dat wont happen to me.
as much as i wanna earn alot of money, i feel, money cannot buy time and it cannot buy my family's happiness.
i didnt grow up with a silver spoon in my mouth.
i will learn as i grow. God willing.

I extend my prayers for all my loved ones, family and frens alike.
May God keep all u guys safe and well always.
Be happy and peaceful bcos nthg can be more impt than those.
know contentment and humilty so dat u will be grounded.
in all things, thank and praise God for he has done marvelous things.

advice

i was told that "if it aint broken, dont fix it."
what to make out of this statement?
i think i need to have a hearty conversation with someone really soon before i go out of my mind.
but then agn, i dont think i even have a logical thot process to begin with.

which is better? to be indispensable to others or to be despensable to urself?
selfish based on self-protection or selflessness (put others b4 urself)?
to be indifferent or overly concerned?

one shud always learn to let go.
but the question is, how?!
live each day as if it is ur last? or live each day as u please (wadever makes u happy jus do only)?

the mind

sometimes the only living thing who can help u is urself.

Happy 41st National Day

It's NATIONAL DAY tmr!

Happy
41st
Birthday

i wonder...

i need a HUGE favour from u my fren,
PLS, PLS, PLS, if ANYONE spots APPLE JACKS by KELLOGG'S,
PLS tell me where i can find it!
i've been craving for it and searching high and low, but to no avail so far.

THANK YOU!

another quote frm the book

i quote a poem from the SQ book i've been reading.
a poem called 'Healing' by D.H Lawrence:

I am not a mechanism, an assembly of various sections.
And it is not because the mechanism is working wrongly that I am ill.
I am ill because of wounds to the soul, to the deep emotional self
and the wounds to the soul take a long, long time, only time can help
and patience, and a certain difficult repentance
long, difficult repentance, realisation of life's mistake,
and freeing oneself
from the endless repetition of this mistake
which mankind at large has chosen to sanctify.
