Day 53 : Stutter perfection

Some stumble,

Some stutter.

Though they seem compose,

theirs heart are in a flutter.

They mutter shy 'hellos',

in hope for a reply.

But.

Even if you look their way,

They'd never look you in the eye.

Their voices crack when you come too close,

they start to constantly giggle.

And this can apply to most of the lads,

The young, the old, the middle.

Though their charms might fail at first,

please do not despair.

For lads like these are genuine at heart,

their heads aren't filled with air.

With patience,

with love.

Help their confidence grow.

And I promise you will find.

That same man,

who used to stutter and fall

Will grow to be divine.

Day 50 : Remembrance

Its been three days.

For some,

its been a year.

How do you go on when you lose someone?

A mother. A brother. A friend. A loved one.



You sit there.

Cry.

You question why things happen the way they do.

Hate.

Anger.

Pain.

You cry some more.






But there will come a time,

when you allow peace to return to you.

And realise.

That while this life we have may seem unfair at times,

it is also filled with compassion.

With kindness, with grace.

With love.





How do I know that?

Because at one point of time,

Life decided to bless us with you.

We've never deserved your kindness.

Your love.

So,

With that said.

Your blessings upon our lives,

was all 'unfair'

Life is unfair.







To the victims of the Lao airline crash,

I might not personally know you.

But I know you've been dear friends to my friends.

I pray for grace to be upon your families,

and I thank you for being a part of the many lives you have touched.




To aunty Gloria,

Its been a year that you have left.

Occasionally,

I still cant believe that you're not here anymore.

My greatest regret was that I was so far away.

But though you may be distant from us physically,

I know you never left.

Your presence,

Your guidance is what keeps your family going.

Your legacy is what we hold on to.

Its been a pleasure journeying with you,

though its a shame your journey ended sooner.

But thank you.

Thank you for showing the world how a little woman,

of barely five feet,

could be the pillar of strength for many.





In loving memories of Aunty Gloria.

and the victims of Lao Airline crash.

Day 46 : wishes

Maybe you'll hold the door.
Or even push my chair in.
Get dressed up.
Smile.
A charming one.
Not cheesy.
Make conversation.
Be really genuine.
Chatty.
Not overwhelmingly so.



You know what.


Does it really matter?

Day 45 : A good laugh

To be funny,

you must first learn to laugh at yourself.

I'm laughing very hard. 

Day 44 : Wise words

I'm sure I'm not the only one that has heard this.

"I've eaten more salt in my lifetime than you have eaten rice."

Considering the amount of rice I eat,

I highly doubt that the statement is true.

But.

Never ignore the advice given to you by the elderly.

Wise words.

Words they share with you,

May not seem to make sense now.

But as you get older,

You'll really appreciate it.

Just like how when I was younger,

I never understood why my mum told me not to wear my pants so high.

I thought she wasn't cool.

Looking back at my old photos...

I realised that I was the one that REALLY wasn't cool.

Day 43 : tribute

http://youtu.be/V7vQt6AoSc0

I wonder if you ever lost someone.

Watching this was truly heartbreaking.

I have always loved glee,

Never really followed.

But I've always enjoyed it.

This is probably the most emotional song I've heard in awhile.

She didn't have to belt out any crazily high pitch notes.

Her emotions echoed through it all.

R.I.P

Cory Monteith.

Day 42 : bad?

Clubbing.

Nothing is entirely bad.

Clubbing definitely has a reputation for being bad,

But honestly,

It depends on the individual.

How we choose to carry ourselves should not be solely dependent on our environment but our values.

Have fun.

But know your boundaries.

Day 41 : Unbreakable

I would never say this to you face to face.

Just because, we ain't the mushy mushy type...

But,

Yappie and Fishy.

Thank you for making this two years the best years of my life.

I would've never expected to make friends like you.

I know I never tell you both this,

But despite your unglamorous-ness,

Your constant farting and burping,

Your 'louder than a jet plane' voice,

Your OCD,

Your love for neon coloured clothes,

Your super weird funny faces,

you two are the most insanely beautiful people I could ever meet.

Not only because of the way you look,

But because you don't let your physical beauty outshine what you have on the inside.

So,

Please read this.

Screenshot it.

Print it.

Stick it on your fridge.

Because I'm not going to say this again anytime soon.

I love you two.

You've made me feel special even when I didn't.

Day 40 : Finale

This is it! 

I'm so glad to have made it through this 40 days.

Everything I have learnt and put into my blog,

Was inspired by you.

You.

All the readers.

The people that encouraged me.

Even just liking the blog on Facebook.

Thank you.

Your encouragement has been the reason I could keep this going.

Thank you for journeying with me.

Thank you for learning with me.

Thank you for giving me a voice.

Day 39 : Feelings

You think what you do has no effect.

Most of the time,

I agree.

But occasionally,

that look...

that stare...

those harsh few words.

It hurts.

But despite the pain,

I'm not going to give you the pleasure of watching me hurt.

Because you know what,

You're not worth my time,

my effort..

and

You're especially not worth my pain.

Day 38 : source

When the world looks at you, 

They see your success.

They judge you by your achievements.

You worth is determined by how 'bright' that light of yours can shine.

But the truth is,

For all those out there who have succeeded.

They know,

It is not the brightness of the light that is important..

It's the source.

You are just a vessel.

If your source,

Your goals,

Is to be successful just for the sake of it...

To shine as bright as you can to show off...

How long can a source like that fuel you?

After all,

Light was created to give the blind sight.

But glaring light...

Is blinding. 

Day 37 : stronger

Your ability to succeed,

Is directly proportional to your desire to succeed.

Nothing worth having ever comes easy.

Day 36: faith

Don't you worry child.

Heaven has a plan for you. 

Do not let your heart be troubled.

I say to you.

There is nothing more you should guard,

Than your heart. 

Guard not your money,

Your possessions,

Or your material wealth.

But if you guard your heart,

There is no power that can shake you.

Remember,

You are too blessed to be stressed.

Day 35 : uncertainty

If the decisions I make are too hard to follow through...

Do I give up?

Or..

Ask for help.

Time and time again,

After all the mind-boggling battles...

God.

Help me.

I can only do so much.

But I know You can.

So,

I'm going to let it be.

Day 34 : beauty

美丽的姑娘

Beauty.

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.

Day 33 : Big Question Night

Tonight was big question night.

Another amazing session.

I am going to summarize three hours into a mini blog.

JUDGE NOTHING UNTIL ITS APPOINTED TIME. 

Judging people is not our job.

Look at a person and see their actual value without judging them according to relativity or comparison.

MEN AND WOMEN ARE EQUAL.

They just have different roles,

It doesn't make them any greater than the other.

ABORTION. ( EVEN FOR A CHILD THAT IS MEDICALLY UNSTABLE)

Shouldn't a child be allowed to live,

Even if it was only for a day.

I know I have not done the questions any justice,

But maybe one of these days.

I'll try to cover them better.

As for now,

Despite the confusion of the world...

And the evil that is ever increasing...

Words of wisdom from Vong.

"Just hang in there"

Day 32 : Worry not

See these beautiful flowers.

They do not worry about what they have to wear.

They do not worry about how they look.

Why worry.

It doesn't help...

In fact,

It makes things worst. 

The next time you start to worry,

Give thanks instead.

You'll be surprised how things change when you change your perspective. 

Day 31 : you are what you make yourself

By nature, men are very similar.

But by practice, they can be miles apart.

So the only way to be different,

Is to make a decision to be different.

To be aware of your actions.

To be different,

Is a discipline.

Thank you Confucius.

And thank you all my Chinese teachers since primary school.

Teaching me Chinese is a challenge.
