Determination

Once a big fat Mouse and a lively little Mouse were hopping along together when they had the misfortune of jumping into a pail of fresh milk. They swam for hours and hours hoping to get out somehow; but the sides of the pail were steep and slippery and death seemed to be certain.

When the big Mouse was exhausted he lost courage. There seemed no hope of rescue. "Why keep struggling against the inevitable? I cannot swim any longer." He moaned.
"Keep on! Keep on!" urged the little Mouse, who was still circling the pail. So they went on for a while. But the big Mouse decided it was no use.
"Little brother, We may as well give up" he gasped. "I am going to quit struggling."Now only the little Mouse was left. He thought to himself. "Well, to give up is to be dead, so I will keep swimming."

Two more hours passed and the tiny legs of the determined little Mouse were almost paralysed with exhaustion. It seemed as if he could not keep moving for another minute. But he thought of his dead friend, and intoxicated with determination, the little Mouse kept on swimming around and around the pail, chopping the milk into white waves. After a while, just as he felt completely numb and thought he was about to drown, he suddenly felt something solid under him.

To his astonishment, he saw that he was resting on a lump of butter which he had churned by constant paddling! And so the successful little Mouse leaped out of the milk pail to freedom.

"Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try."

Neverrr Give up

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried disparately for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided that the animal was very old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just was not worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. Everyone grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing; he would shake it off and takes a step up.

As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on the top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off.

Life is going to shovel all kind of dirt on you, the trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone; we can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up, shake it off and take a step up.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved. You gain strength, experience and confidence by every experience where you really stop to look fear in the face.... You must do the thing you cannot do. And remember, the finest steel gets sent through the hottest furnace. A winner is not one who never fails, but one who NEVER QUITS! In LIFE, remember that you pass this way only once! Let’s live life to the fullest and give it our extreme best.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

Don't ever give up no matter what you do! Failure is the mother of success! Wish you will excel in everything you do! xD

Gained A Gain

2010-09-18T21:02:00.003+08:00

Have you ever thought,

about the consequences of our doings

and the unpredictable happenings?

Well I certainly did not at the start of the year.

But after many happenings that happened,

it suddenly all became clear.

I used to run, play and do things I've liked all day.

That was until one day during CCA,

My leg broke with a clear cut

And from then on I did not have my way.

It was a painful experience. Two months had passed.

My leg may not be strong as glass,

but it certainly improved in a speed so fast.

Right now, I look forward to the day I can walk again.

And while I do so, I'd feel no pain.

When that day comes, it really feels like I've gained a gain.

Insults

2010-09-17T23:54:00.002+08:00

From Yahoo Answers:

Is insulting people a human right?

For the sake of ethics and morality, insulting is not a human right but a firm degradation of dignity and an exposure of hypocrisy.

Through insulting, we can have wars. Through insulting, we can have defiance and rebellion. Through insulting, we can have violence.

First of all, what exactly is a "Human Right"?

"Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible."-http://www.ohchr.org/en/issues/Pages/Wha…

Also, nowhere in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, do you see the word "Insult". Insulting is a contrary subject to a human right.

I will give you an example: If you insult Kim Jong Il, you are dead. If you insult other people, you must face the consequences they give to you. It is so foolish. Would you insult aggressive people? I wouldn't. Would you insult people who dares to kill you? I wouldn't. This sacrifice is worthless and unwise.

If you are insulting people for the right cause and for the right objective, well, that is a fight for something worthy of possessing. Now, that's what's right in the act. However, if you are insulting people for the wrong cause, like insulting criminals. It is the road to something worse.

I wouldn't consider insulting as a right at all. I would instead consider it as an act of human morality. Human rights are absolute and definitely insulting is not something absolute. Don't be a sacrificial lamb just for insulting. That's not being great but being a fool.

As you can notice right now, I am insulting the fools to learn a lesson, not to destroy someone's reputation and dignity. There is a gigantic difference between the two. Insult for the good of development, not for the good of suicide or criminal tendencies.

Psychologically speaking, insulting is like fighting for justice. It is something like a defense mechanism. Insulting is a form of scapegoating. Aggression is frustration in action and it is a non-verbal form of insulting. Insulting exists in politics and in politics alone. I am referring to all kinds of politics.

Whenever there is cheating in a certain competition, there is insulting. Whenever there is miscommunication and misunderstandings, there is insulting.

Insulting is inevitable since it is one of the basic urges and instincts of the human psyche to level this psyche to others psyche. Conscience and wisdom however reviews and analyzes the act of insulting well, that it somehow needs controlling.

What I typed here, seemed to be a mixture of opinion and facts and that's how I see it, gained from other educational sources.

I therefore conclude that insulting is not a basic human right, but a basic human instinct mixed with the values of morality and ethics.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

So is insulting right? In my opinion, I seriously object to insulting people... and saying people are two-faced when they are not... Stop these insults please.

Belief

2010-09-16T20:28:00.002+08:00

Believe in Yourself

There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren't the way you had hoped they would be. That's when you have to tell yourself that things will get better. There are times when people disappoint you and let you down. But those are the times when you must remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself. There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to accept them. Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are. So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be. Because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.

Keep Believing in Yourself

___________________________________________________________________________

Hey girl, believe in yourself no matter what obstacles are afraid of you (: Jiayoush! I will always support you! :D

Value
A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up.
He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the air.
"Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. You are special - Don't ever forget it!

Fun Fun Fun (:

Success comes when preparation meets opportunity.

Success is often a matter of hanging on longer, when others have given up.

Success is never final.

Search for better ways to do things and you will find success.

Be what you are and become what you are capable of becoming.
Take charge of your life - become the person you would like to be.

Skills are not copyright - they are transferable.

Identify your strengths and weaknesses. Learn new skills to achieve your goals in life.

Your success will depend on your attitude to life.

Everybody lives by selling something.

To convince others, first convince yourself.

Unless you are prepared to take risks, you will do nothing, have nothing, and be nothing.

Nobody ever choked through swallowing pride.

Problems multiply when you take your eye off the goal.

All the skills to solve a problem won't help, if you don't have the will.

Discover the power of praise - it will make your world a better place.

Persistence prevails when all else fails.

Stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
when things go wrong you mustn't quit.

___________________________________________________________

The way to create happiness:
Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry.
Live simply, expect little, give much.
Fill your life with love, scatter sunshine.
Forget self, think of others.
Do as you would be done by.
Try this for a week and you will be surprised.

"Free!" shouted Rehman. "I am free! Do you hear me? ... Come on. I have work to do."

Pari trotted behind him, trying to keep up with his long strides. "Rehman..."

"Yes?"

She reached out and cupped his chin in her hands. His eyes were tiny mirrors that glittered like cold ice. "Rehman, trust me in this. I speak from experience. You don't have to be strong - it's OK to let go."

"Let go?" he said.

"Yes," she said, her hands falling to her sides. "Weep for what you have lost."

Rehman stared at her with an unseeing gaze for a long moment, then sank to the ground as if his knees had turned to sand; his head dropped to his chest and he started crying...

...

"How long does it take for a broken heart to heal?" he asked.

"I have some knowledge of these matters," she said.

'The sadness will always be there. But your heart will mend and happiness can find a home in it sooner than you imagine..."

Jose

2010-05-01T16:10:00.002+08:00

In Jose Mourinho, is someone I admire not only for his invincible tactics on the field, but also those off it.

His quotes:

“We are on top at the moment but not because of the club's financial power. We are in contention for a lot of trophies because of my hard work.”

“We had a solid defense and our midfield was very good. I am very happy. But for me it is not really being top.”

“There is no pressure at the top. The pressure's being second or third.”

“And if he's ready to play for Chelsea in the Champions League he's ready to play for England in international matches.”

"If I made a mistake then I apologise. I am happy that I'm not going to jail because of that."

"In five years I have never had a match where my team has had less possession than the opponents".

"The only thing I would like is to have more control of the game in terms of possession."

"When I face the media, maybe I don't feel it now, here with you, because it's a different sort of interview, but when I face the media before or after the game, I feel it as part of the game."

"The only thing that we cannot control is our supporters."

“The style Inter play is the blood style not the skin style. When the moment of leave everything on the pitch comes, we don’t leave the skin, we leave the blood.” - Mourinho after beating Barca

Well, bravo mourinho, and good luck on the champions league

2010-04-17T19:03:00.000+08:00

On the opposite coast of sadness
is something called a smile
But before we can go there,
is there something we’re waiting for?

In order to chase our dreams, we can’t have a reason to run away
We’ve got to go, to that far away summer’s day

If we find it tomorrow, we can’t sigh
Because like a boat that opposes the stream
we have to walk straight on

In a place worn down by sadness
something called a miracle, is waiting
Yet we are still searching
for the sunflower that grows at the end of spring

The warrior who awaits the morning light
before he can clasp it with red nails, his tears glitter and fall

Even if we’ve grown used to loneliness
only relying on the light of the moon
We have to fly away with featherless wing
just go foward, just a little further

As the rainclouds break
the wet streets sparkling
Although it brings only darkness
A powerful, powerful light
helps push us to walk on

At the long road ahead, I kept thinking of you.

It feels like only yesterday, I won't forget how we met.

At the long road ahead, we can look at each other if you are here.

I'll protect this love that doesn't change.

I'll never forget about it,

even with this loneliness,

even if time were to stop flowing,

because every road continues to lead to you.

Here, we can throw away our sorrow immediately,

Even though it doesn't reflect the tear-coloured you.

I wish that at least the sight of me living will reach you.

If we were to look back, our footsteps would have covered a great distance.

Our intertwined fates will not be dissolved now.

At the long road ahead, I kept thinking of you.

Together with you, we can surely build a world without lies.

- Translated from the song: Tooi Michi no Saki de (Down the Distant Road) by Ai Takekawa

Can't focus.

My mind is still puzzled about what to do.

I'm trembling.

I can't stop even if I try to control myself.

Although neither the sun nor moon or on my side,

I've no choice but to try.

Those were the words I muttered to myself.

The odds aren't on my side,

but running away would be gutless.

Even if I can't see the future,

I'll just have to win it over with courage.

Need to keep the distance between from the target as I hold myself back.

All that's needed for victory is the pride to win.

Will we celebrate with the wine of victory,

Or we'll end up kissing their feet in defeat?

There are two outcomes to everything

I want to control destiny

I need to seize the golden opportunity with my hands.

I'll finish it up with my best poker face and drag them into a world of illusions.

I'll find my way out of this endless pressure game and leap over the border line of honour.

But what will I need to sacrifice to make it happen...?

OMGOMG

2010-01-24T15:58:00.002+08:00

2009 Year In Review

2009-12-30T21:35:00.010+08:00

And In the Blink of an Eye, another year is gone.
Another year of memories which have been so fond.
I wished I could just replay the memories on a tape,
Reminding me of everything which has been so great,
And wondering how I could've made them better,
And how it would've affected my future...

Well, chups, it's the end of another year.
So I will just end this year with this post.

GOODBYE, 2009!
WELCOME, 2010!

Things to look out for in 2010 :
- FIFA WORLD CUP of course! YUM :P
- Looking for the answers to my Doubts and Questions
- Having a Great Year Ahead!

Oh and here are some pics, laughable ones hopefully.

"Woof! Woof! Gimme A Fish and I'll Score Real Goals!"

Wanna hear Adam Lambert sing chipmunk style?

The Grand Battle! Yugi, Joey and Mai.... Or is it..?!

1st Annual Music Commendations 2009

2009-12-24T21:46:00.002+08:00

Okay I might be exaggerating a bit from the title of this post... but dudes and gals, this is not just any other post in the world from me! This post is specially for my commendation (or awards rather) for songs in each language I hear which are English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean (started this year). So without further ado, I shall start my presentation(okay whatever)!

English Songs

My Best English Song of 2009: Adam Lambert - Time For Miracles

Okay I might figure out what you guys are thinking. Adam Lambert is kinda gay I know that, but boy does he have a voice and song to be admired here. Used brilliantly in the movie 2012, those who watched it would probably regard this song as one of the best, as if one listens to its meaningful lyrics properly, the whole movie might just flash through your mind once again, bringing back all the scenes which swelled our hearts. Ha, okay so Adam Lambert makes it to my favourite English Song of the year, Time For Miracles.

Best Newbie of 2009: Dashboard Confessional - Belle of The Boulevard

Okay I know some of you might not even have heard of this song. But it sure is a sweet one and might just rock the streets next year!

Chinese Songs

My Best Chinese Song of 2009: 周杰伦 - 龙战骑士

This song is absolutely a rocker of a Chinese song. The starting tune starts to rock your whole feel already before Jay does the tricks with his perfect rapping and singing. Nevertheless, of all Jay Chou songs, this one is the one, which makes it to my top Chinese Song of 2009!

Best Newbie of 2009: 张韶涵 - 偶尔

This female singer sure has a troublesome name to write, but boy does she sing a great song in this single. I'm not quite sure when i heard it. But the moment I did, I know it would've been one of the best in the world.

Japanese Songs

My Best Japanese Song of 2009: Arashi - One Love

Okay here's the catch. I know many people don't even listen Japanese songs here, but I'm still gonna continue no matter how many rotten apples you are gonna throw at my face. Arashi's One Love makes it to the top of Japanese Songs for its meaningful lyrics and blissful tune. Prepare to catch more Arashi songs in near future! (Oh crap there's a giant boulder heading towards me!)

Korean Songs

My Best Korean Song of 2009: BigBang & 2NE1 - Lollipop

One word to describe my selection of Korean songs. Complicated. My knowledge of Korean songs has just begun and this song caught my eye immediately. 2NE1 making their so-called debut together with highly-experienced BigBang in this jovial song Lollipop. Well, you've gotta expect plenty more from these girls of 2NE1, because they might just set the town on FIRE next season! So watch out for these men and women!

SO congrats to ALL THESE songs of 2009! Remember to catch the next edition of this next year! Till then, Signing off here, is Mike (Actually I'm Henry's presenter) Bye! Wish You Guys/Gals/Gays/Less a MERRY X'MAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Inspirational Stories

2009-12-13T15:18:00.003+08:00

Here's a couple of inspirational stories I've gathered over the internet. If you find it idiotic, it probably means you are human on the outside but not humane on the inside.

1. Shibli entered a profound mystical state and was placed in an asylum as a madman. As soon as they heard, his shocked disciples came to visit him. Shibli asked, "Who are you?" "We are some of those who love and follow you." they replied. Shibli began throwing stones at his students. They began to run away, crying, "It's true. Shibli really has gone crazy." Then Shibli called out to them, "Didn't I hear you say that you loved me? You could not even bear a stone or two before running away. What became of that sincere love you claimed you had for me? Did your love fly away with a couple of stones? If you had really loved me, you would have patiently endured the little bit of discomfort I caused you."

2. An old Cherokee is telling his granddaughter about a fight that is going on inside himself. He said it is between two wolves. One is evil: Anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other is good: Joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith. The granddaughter thought about it for a minute and then asked her grandfather, "Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one I feed."

Which one did you guys think was the better one?

2009-12-04T14:27:00.000+08:00

Yo Guys. Remember the headbutt incident at the FIFA World Cup Final? :

"Hey, ref! What's a Palo di Lampada doin in ze middle of ze pitch!?"

"Superman!"

"World's best Doubles Acrobatic Sequence!"

Boredz..O.o

2009-11-26T15:17:00.000+08:00

Nvm... anyway...congratulations to that girl from Qifa Primary School who got top for PSLE.

brrr >.<...

Those words...

2009-11-21T14:05:00.000+08:00

“Excuse me, child. May it bother you if I join you on this bench? A comfortable one, it has to be said.”

I turned around, startled by the sudden disturbance of my thoughts. “Oh yeah, sure, po po.” It was an elderly woman, and she sat down on the bench she deemed comfortable. We endured a couple of minutes in silence, before she suddenly spoke up.

“Something’s zapping through your mind now. It’s troubling you, isn’t it? Mind if you tell me?” The old woman smiled serenely at me.

I stared at her. At first, I felt like I wanted to tell her it wasn’t her business. However, she resembled my late grandmother a lot, to whom, I had often confided.

I told her my worries. “I feel that I am the worse guy on earth. I feel that I have no special abilities to make me special. I think…” She looked at me and seemed to be deep in thought. Then, she asked me to do something no one had ever asked me to do.

“Look at your hand, boy.”

I was confused, but still looked at my hand, not knowing what she was talking about.

“Boy, observe all your fingers. All of them are of different length. Why is this so, you say?”

I was stuck at this sudden question. My brains couldn’t think of a sensible answer.

The old woman said, “You see, child. Different fingers have different abilities. You point your index finger to signal ‘one’, you point your thumb to tell others ‘good job’, you use your little finger to make promises with others… Don’t you find this all so interesting? It’s exactly the same in this wide world. Each and every person has his or her individual unique quality. And it takes time to find out what this quality is too. You just need to find out what this quality is.”

Those words have been etched in my mind since that moment. And it seems, until now, what the woman said has really come true.

Now when I look at my fingers, I’ll always think of those words she said. If we look hard enough, we’ll find something we’re really good at in the end.

Moments

2009-11-20T21:16:00.000+08:00

A momentary flash of light shines in the sky
A tiny star flashing by

How sad
Yet beautiful

Wanting to hear its story
Despite this and that
I want to grab it
To embrace it until it crumples
One day I wished upon a star and
Though you say it came true
In a dream
The two of us couldn't see each other for eternity

A momentary flash of light shines in the sky
A tiny star flashing by

The whole way home
I could not stop my tears
In the sky my memories floated up
And tears came too -
Overflowing

How sad
Yet beautiful

Challenge

2009-11-09T21:35:00.000+08:00

I have nothing to protect
Or anyone to protect me
I have nothing left

The echoes of yelling
Sounding hollowly deep in the forest

The reason to be able to hold back the tears
Being the warmth of out entwined hands

A future without you is a future without meaning
We will never part again

Together we shall face the world
A world we've never seen
Through time and space
We will travel far...

BOREDZ!!!!

2009-11-05T15:05:00.000+08:00

Emo

2009-10-03T21:56:00.001+08:00

Can someone out there just tell me the answer to this legendary question?:
Why do people love to emo when things don't go their way?

Okay forget about trying to find the answer for me. Let me just dig deeper into this amazing but crazy problem.

People (Yes, I am speaking of my friends obviously) love to emo when things don't go their way. Now, is this really the only say to settle your mood? I mean, when you emo, you tend to think about the happenings over and over again. Oh my word, doesn't that just make the problem worse? Okay, I think I'm getting a little biased towards my own views. Well, haha! I do emo too at times so I think I'll start speaking seriously.

When someone is emo, he or she tends to feel that they have been greatly misunderstood and that life isn't fair to them. It could be because of many reasons, whether it's about parents, friends, jobs and many more.

Here are some things you could do when you're emo:
Firstly, find a very close and trusted friend to express your feelings to. Emotions, both anger or sadness, must be expressed. The more your keep your feelings to yourself, you'll find that in time your emotions will worsen - you'll become more angry at the person, or more sad towards an incident. So you have to pour your heart out to someone to deal with emotions.

Secondly, comfort yourself. After you pour your heart out, you'll usually have very mixed feelings. So, comfort yourself in bed. Wrap yourself around a tight blanket to camouflage yourself from the outside world. Think about the happiest moments of your life. =)

Lastly, just enjoy a good laugh! Read the CRAZIEST JOKES ON THE PLANET!!!!!!!

Hope you can stop emo-ing now. blabla

Life - It's Really Like That

2009-10-02T22:27:00.000+08:00

For those who agree with me that Life is just like a chess game, you are quite right to agree with me.

For those who don’t agree with me on that matter, let’s just say you have a long, long way to go before you finally realize your full potential.

But I bet you must be asking, “Why is this ***hole speaking of such matters at this time.

It’s actually very simple.

We are already on the third part of out life journey.

Okay, make that four if you count the time when we were babies.

But now is probably the most important part of our lives.

We, 13-year-olds, fighting for a bright future, whichever way you interpret that word ‘future’.

Okay, back to the part where saying where Life is like a chess game.

In Life, we have to plan every move before talking it.

What’s it called? I think you can say it’s 三思而行 in Chinese terms.

Seriously, what’s Life without obstacles and difficulties?

Even if you say Life was a bed of roses, don’t forget that roses do have thorns.

Life was made interesting because of these obstacles that stand in our way.

Without them, you could say, we would just be some useless freaks doing the same, mundane things everyday, which is probably PLAY-EAT-SLEEP.

Yawns…boring stuff isn’t it?

在生活上，我们应该披荆斩棘，打倒困难，才会当个胜利者。

Just remember that for now. Apologies for being so long-winded.

Next post, I think I’ll probably talk about…well, look for yourselves next time.

--Darkness Looms--

2009-09-13T14:47:00.000+08:00

Darkness covered the sky,
Babies started to cry.
As the ominous sounds drew near,
their hearts were filled with fear.

They hid and ran and screamed,
they wished it was all a dream.
This dream was sure a painful one,
a dream they really didn't want.

Finally it was over,
they came out of their cower.
But their once beautiful city,
was now just crumbled debris...

(PS: I'm just writing poems for fun! Don't take it so seriously :P)

HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY

2009-09-01T16:37:00.000+08:00

Teachers
Paint their minds
and guide their thoughts
Share their achievements
and advise their faults

Inspire a Love
of knowledge and truth
As you light the path
Which leads our youth

For our future brightens
with each lesson you teach
Each smile you lengthen
Each goal you help reach

For the dawn of each poet
each philosopher and king
Begins with a Teacher
And the wisdom they bring

-Kevin William Huff

TO ALL TEACHERS OUT THERE,
I WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love-Sick Puppy

2009-08-28T22:21:00.000+08:00

Me so long never post.....blog almost dead liaoz........ Anyway in the past 4 months or so, I've really gone through many many activities which taught me valuable lessons in life.

I've learnt how to appreciate and treasure the ones I love and care for...I learnt how to not give up no matter what difficulties I face.

I don't know how it happened,
But my life suddenly brightened.
When I saw the bloom in her,
I developed a strong desire,
To stand by her side forever.
I hope that I'm the green grass,
Which provide her nutrients,
While she's the pretty flower,
Which provides me with her sweet presence...

磨刀不误砍柴功

2009-04-12T20:58:00.000+08:00

I forgot when, but I recently read an interesting article, or post, on the Chinese Newspaper. The title of the post is of course the heading of THIS post. I'm not going to dilly-dally so I'm going straight to the story. There are two woodcutters, let's just call them A and B respectively. They decided to have a competition between each other to see who could cut the most amount of wood. Woodcutter A, without thinking nor hesitating, went up to the hill and cut down any tree his eyes met. Woodcutter B just rested for the day.

On the first day of competition, Woodcutter A did managed to cut twice as much wood as Woodcutter B. However, no matter how hard he worked for the next few days, he still cut much lesser wood than Woodcutter B. How on earth did this happen? Haha! Woodcutter A's axe was already badly blunt as each day passed, and hence he had to use more strength to cut down each tree. Woodcutter B was a clever guy, no worries. While he wasn't cutting down trees, he would spend time sharpening his axe, and he also looked for trees which were easier to cut down. He used little effort to gain a huge amount of wood. In the end, of course, Woodcutter B was the winner.

The story was trying to teach us a very basic principle of life : Work Smart, not Work Hard. Someone may be the most hardworking person on the planet, but why is it that others have accomplished things which he haven't? That is because they think of easier ways to solve problems, while the hardworking one just works hard and deals with challenges without thinking. That is how the proverb "磨刀不误砍柴功"came about!

"努力是一般蛮力，聪明的策划与适当的准备工作绝对比傻傻地用力来的有成绩。"

Launch of YOG & a Special Day

2009-04-09T23:04:00.001+08:00

On April 8, RV held the launch of the Youth Olympic Games. On that special day, we came to school in our house T-shirts. My house was Minotaur, and the four others were Centaur, Gryphon, Unicorn and Pegasus. The first activity was the march past. We ( the five houses) had to march past the VIP and wave at them just like any other march past in the Games. However the next part was the torch relay, and I was part of it! I had to get the torch(not the real one) from Ms Ek and pass it on the the SCs. I accidentally spilled dry ice along the way!! Hope it didn't affect the whole process!!

Then during CHAMPS lesson, we had PE instead and could choose our own games to play. Clinton and the others went to play soccer. But I suggested we play a Boys vs Girls Captain's Ball game. What's more, we had had five boys - Jeryl, Sammy, Jiang Xu, Tze Kiat and I!! We got off to a bad start, which was expected, and fel 2-0 behind the overwhelming girls. Funny, you might say, but we didn't give up. The four boys on the ground (Sammy was captain) was enough to threaten the girls. But you could say that we were actually outclassed and dominated by the girls. especially Jing wen, who kept marking me all the way and I had to distract her in order to get unmarked. However, we did come back to lead 7-5. Then, the girls pulled one back with seconds to play. And, they did eventually get their late equaliser... 7-7!! But we won on handicap... hehe

Volleyball Practice

2009-02-22T15:58:00.000+08:00

Argh...! My first two volleyball training sessions started this week and it was awesome but tiring!!! I learned how to dig, set, serve and spike but still not good at it yet. AND MY SETTING SUX T_T!!! Anyway, forget about that, I also managed to make new friends, like Rui Yang, Jian Hao and Cruise(if that's his name). We had fun and enjoyable moments in the first two sessions. On Tuesday, we had a so-called orientation. Getting to know our seniors and team-mates were fun. We had to do warm-up too, running around the track once.

At the end, we had to do a PT (Physical Training), On Tuesday, we had to do 50 push-ups, 50 leg pushes and 100 touch jumps. On Friday, we had to jump up the BIG steps of the Grandstand 20 rounds. Interesting and I'kk be looking forward to more!!

The First B-ball experience

2009-02-02T21:56:00.000+08:00

During recess today, Xue Wei, Jovi, Clinton and I went to play besketball. Jovi and I were eating lunch together at first, then he told me they were playing so I just tagged along to have some fun. Fun... not really the word to use though. When we got there there was a Sec 2 boy playing. He challenged us 1 vs 4. First to seven won. Well he got it and thrashed us 7-2. Fortunately Xue Wei saved face for us. He scored a sweet three-pointer and the other was just an easy shot.

The REAL test began though. The Sec 2's friends came and we dicided to play a match. Two of his friends joined our team. So it was 6 vs 3. They got straight to us right from the start and took a deserved lead. The tall guy was a strong man. He did so many turns and even bounced the ball under my legs... and I was left stunned there.

However, we sooned grew our momentum and started to follow the speed of the game. I left Xue Wei and the others to attack as they mede me the last man but i made a shot or two. But i missed all those shots. Defence was, I found out later, my one and only strength in the game. I had to run and try to grab any loose ball and rebound or even snatch the ball. I did managed to do that on some occasions. Imitating someone's(I'm not mentioning) strategy, I managed to cause the older ones a little trouble. They even praised me for having a good defence!

After a tough battle of about 25 minutes, my team emerged 7-6 winners. For me, my confidence in Basketball Defending increased slightly!
