Hmm, so I've just mentioned about how fragile can life be in my previous post. I just wanna emphasize on the point that - life is fragile, very indeed. And I'm glad I'm beginning to realise what's my definition of happiness in my own intricate world.
Came across this reality programme on channel8 just last week, it's basically about poor families living in destitute in spore. I was appalled and utterly disgusted by their living conditions. Roaches, creepy crawlies, and layers after layers of dust everywhere. I can't help it but I just gotta lament on the fact that there are still so many unfortunate people in spore. Their house is in sucha mess that it's the worst and last place one would ever want to live in in a developing country like spore. But what really struck me hard was their courage and determination to live on in optimism despite the harsh living conditions. Can you imagine a family of 7 squeezing in a congested 2-room flat when the sole breadwinner is only earning about 1k per month and with a helpless mother that has been diagnosed with some illness and still has to pay her medical expenses? Can you imagine a young 9-year old girl who has to juggle both studies and family matters as she has to look after her bedridden mother and do all the household chores? Can you imagine some families are so poor that they don't even have the ability to lead a better life? I'm sure there are many other families who are facing the same predicament as those mentioned, just that they are unheard of. I'm just amazed by how these familes can remain in stoicism even when things are totally going against their will. I can ascertain that if they were given a chance to lead their lives once more they'd beg for a better one for sure, but do they even have the ability to do so? What justice has humanity done to this world where some people have to suffer in sucha situation that can't be ameliorated, while some are so fortunate to live in luxurious bungalows with big cars and yet they are still pursuing their materialistic needs? I wonder. Well, I've recently truly begun to notice how small things can impact life in extraordinary ways. And the most important thing is, I'm totally contented with my life right now. I have a lovely family, my doting boyf, caring friends, a nice house to live in and I don't even have to worry if I'm running out of cash or not. I used to think like, "Woah mummy! My friend's living in a big house, she has 2 maids, she's got the newest gadget in town, she goes overseas every year, and her parents are so freaking rich! Why cant I be like her mummy?" Well, not anymore. And there's only one reason behind this change in mindset, I'm contented with my life. (: "Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow." |

Hey guys, if you're free and have nothing better to do on the net, pls visit this website. I came across this blog through a friend's blog. Tears welled up my eyes as I was reading the entries. It's really disheartening. :( Hmm, I guess no one would ever understand the plight and agony that this brave mummy and daddy are facing. It's amazing how they managed to overcome the grief and sorrow, and continue to face the harsh reality of life. Learnt a valuable lesson though. (: I'm so gonna love and treasure my children if I were to have kids next time. . . . Just, how fragile can life be? |

It's funny how big of an impact you have on me. You don't even have to speak when I see you... All you can do is smile, and it can make my day, And then that's how I remember my reasons for loving you.  For the 6th time, HAPPY 6TH MONTH ANNIVERSARY DEAREST! But definitely not for the last time, I love you. (: <3
----------------------------------------------------------------- MANUTD THRASHED STOKE CITY 5-0! Okay frankly speaking I wasn't expecting that. A 2-0 win for manutd will be enough I thought. But well I'm just glad manutd played well today and the 5 goals were awesome! The good news is, arsenal lost to aston villa at home! ZHICONG! I really hope you're reading this man. Teeheehee :D Ah okay, weekends gonna be over soon and I really dread the next 2 weeks of school especially tuesdays when I have to get up as early as 6am. And gosh, I have an accounting test on EIGHT chapters next next week. I really need to get my butt glued to the seat and MUG soon. Anyway ALL THE BEST to all my friends out there who are currently mugging hard for their uni exams right now! And not forgetting those who are taking Alevels too. It's gonna be over real soon, so bear with it people! Alright I'm going to bed soon, I'm super tired today! Nights. (: |

LIZARDS ARE THE MOST MORONIC, IDIOTIC, IRRITATING INSECT ON EARTH!
ARGH. Stop stealing our food in the kitchen, or I'm gonna make sure I chop off your tail someday. Stop giving me heart attacks by jumping out out of nowhere and scare the wits out of me, or I'm gonna make sure I flush you down the toilet bowl and drown you with my SHIT someday. I HATEEEEEEE YOU! |

I had a nightmare,
So scary that I couldn't even have a gasp of air. It was a short one, But I was all alone. Tried to cry for help, Only a tinge of sadness emotionally felt. Once bitten twice shy, I wouldn't do it again for I know why. I love you. |

What a dramatic end to yesterday's F1 Brazilian Grand Prix! ARGH, HAMILTON SHOULDN'T HAVE WON IT MAN SERIOUSLY. I was ecstatic when Massa grabbed his pole position in the qualifying round which Hamilton came in 4th! I thought Massa stands a good chance in winning the championship if everything goes on well for him and IF Hamilton suffers from any mishap during the actual race. My bro and I were keeping our fingers crossed throughout the whole race yesterday, praying HARD that...... 1) His engine fails him, 2) His team members screw up at the pit stop, 3) His tyre punctures, 4) HAMILTON CRASHES. Hahaha I know this is evil, but had he not be sucha arrogant snob, I'd be okay with it if he wins the race! He has incurred the wrath of many with his comments and he's just one egoistic guy! Argh okay that's beside the point. Massa was 1st while Hamilton was 5th in the last lap, which was good enough for him to secure the title. But Sebestian Vettel did a heroic move by forcing his way past Hamilton at one of the last bends which caused him a crucial position and ended up in 6th! Vettel was still able to maintain the lead ahead of Hamilton and it was the LAST 30 SECONDS when the drama came. Timo Glock was in 4th position upon reaching the chequered flag when. . . . . . . HE SLOWED DOWN SUDDENLY FOR I DON'T KNOW WHY! HAMILTON DROVE PAST HIM AND THAT WAS HOW HE CAME IN 5TH!!!!! I was like &^%@$#*%^ as I thought Massa has already clinched the title when he reached the chequered flag 'cause I didn't expect that dumbass Timo Glock to slow down in the last few seconds! Stunned. Shocked. Speechless. I was like WHAT THE HELL?!?!! Even Massa's family was celebrating and jumping for joy at the pit but the confusion came when the tv showed Hamilton's family celebrating too at the pit. Man, it was an amusing sight I tell ya, especially when there was an abrupt change in the emotions and facial expressions among the Massa family when they were told that Hamilton came in 5th and not 6th. Poor Massa, he could have won it if not for dumbass Glock! Nicole Scherzinger must have seduced Glock before the race or something. Naughty pussycat. LOL. Oh well but apparently, they claimed that Glock slowed down because he didn't change to the wet weather tyres and so it got all wet and slippery. Nobody knows if that's the truth and who knows, it might be a conspiracy afterall. It's unbelievable how jubilation turned into disappointment in just 30 seconds. I really pity Massa! He kinda teared when he got out of the car after the race. And no, he isn't a wimp okay! I mean any big huge brave robust guy would have felt the same way too. Well oh well, there's always next year! Let's hope Massa wins next year though he deserved the win more than Hamilton does this season.   FELIPE MASSA! |

Had a great weekend! Met the boyf on friday and saturday, being able to see him for two consecutive days makes me a happy girl. (:
Sunday was my dearest niece Nicole's one year old birthday party at my sis's place. Man, I realised how much she has grown! She was a tiny weeny baby girl just a year ago. I remember she was born in the midst of my A'levels last year and if I'm not wrong it was on the day when I had my chemistry paper. I was overwhelmed with joy when I received a message from my bro that nicole was born! Heh, HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICOLE!    |
