WOW! it's February already! how fast! heehee... can't wait for CNY. that will mean i can finally go home to JB for the first time in two months. yes, TWO months. longest i've stayed in Subang without going back... SO looking forward to going back to see my family and my two darling puppies! yippee! =]
anyway, i got an email from my aunt, and it contained an inspirational passage written by Lee Wei Ling (Lee Kuan Yew's daughter). here's the excerpt that stood out among the others:
"When the end approaches and we look back on
our lives, will we regret the latest mobile phone or luxury car that we
did not acquire? Or would we prefer to die at peace with ourselves,
knowing that we have lived lives filled with love, friendship and
goodwill, that we have helped some of our fellow voyagers along the way
and that we have tried our best to leave this world a slightly better
place than how we found it?"
- Lee Wei Ling
consider...think about it...

tiring day.....
it's already past midnight, so technically this post is for yesterday. but who cares? i was a bit late, that's all. haha! yesterday was the first four-course session for my batch (Batch 47). Saiful was the first to go, and he did a marvellous job. though we did have some miscommunication and teething problems, it is safe to say that everything went well 80%. haha! i was in group B, so that meant that i was the service staff (e.g. waiter). was tiring to deliver the food to the customers, wash dishes, but boy was it worth it after all was over. my feet are still sore from standing for over two hours washing dishes non-stop! ha! actually i was part of the waiters, but after an hour or so i decided to switch jobs, and ended up washing the dishes. at first i thought it was going to be quick, but the plates and bowls just kept coming! ended up standing there for two hours plus..... but so worth it. hehe...
my turn will be on the 16th of this month, which is roughly about two weeks away. to say i am nervous heading to that date would be a huge understatement... anyway i have decided...that i am going to face the big hurdle head-on. not going to shirk from my responsibilities. i had a tough time trying to be a good waiter for Saiful's session, so when my day to be the 'executive chef' comes i must be ready. i need to be on my best mood and behaviour. my frame of mind also needs to be clear and focused, something which i need to train for. i am not the kind of person who can be easily motivated. i am the type who needs to be pushed... HARD in order to achieve the maximum results. phew.....talk about pressure, i have got one more session after the one on the 16th... hooooo boy......!
well, i guess i have to get some rest now. tomorrow (actually, TODAY already!) is an off-day for us, but we have to get back on our feet soon, as Justin will have his four-course session on Saturday. goodnight (morning)! xoxo

problemsssssssss
2013 is dawning upon us......
i know...it's nothing special, but today is the last Sunday of 2012. and tomorrow is the last Monday of 2012. Tuesday will bring a new year: 2013. how time flies... i keep thinking back to those days when i moved to my final private school (way back in 2009). doesn't seem that long, but it actually is. i left the school around September/October 2011. seems like a long time ago already... *sigh* badly miss those (slightly more) carefree days. but they are just mere memories now....
sometimes i wonder...why does time go by quickly when we're having fun, but the complete opposite when we're working or doing strenuous stuff? who can i ask this question? will i ever find out why? LIFE IS CERTAINLY FULL OF MYSTERY. LIFE IS ALSO FULL OF UNANSWERED QUESTIONS. *sigh* again.
i have dreamt of this many a time...a dream that will never be fulfilled: to build a time machine and re-visit my past. i don't ask for much; i am content just to 'replay' the happy moments of past years. i won't change anything; i will be content just reliving my past whenever and wherever i want to. i know it sounds ridiculous: to want to go back to the past, but i sometimes get disillusioned about life and want to understand where i have gone wrong, or what i can do to change certain things. i always have dreams or often think back to those days past and wonder why it has all slipped away from me. isn't the future supposed to be better than days past? if so, then why do i feel like with each passing day i am becoming more and more antisocial? why am i becoming more lazy? why is my life feeling worse than before? i am confused sometimes. if i can talk to someone about all my problems that would be great; but i doubt anyone will have the time and patience to bear with me. i always have people telling me that they care about me, and that should i have any problems i can find them to talk about problems or anything, but honestly speaking...everyone has their own problems. why would anyone want to add on more problems to their already big pile of problems??? that's why i always say i'm fine. i don't want to tell sob stories to others to make them feel pitiful for me. i sometimes need a listening ear, but i fear i'll be a burden to the person listening. *sigh*.....

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
first Christmas i've spent alone for a long time. wait...maybe never before! i think this year would be the first. not something nice to remember... haha! but the sad fact remains that i have 'been through' Xmas eve and Xmas day alone...
been rather on the quiet side, without any 'special' treats or anything. guess sometimes the quietness and loneliness is a good thing. makes you appreciate the people around you that aren't by your side.
most importantly, i am thankful to God for having another day to live. be it any special day or an ordinary day, it is vital to be grateful for all the things in your life. i have had my fair share of personal problems and study problems, but in the end as long as you believe that there's a God above to help shoulder your burdens, life will be easier. THANKS BE TO GOD!
alrighty then. will not be sleeping anytime soon. gonna watch a few episodes of a Singapore mandarin drama series on YouTube. heehee
*to those who are reading this: GOODNIGHT and MERRY CHRISTMAS! xoxo
