Random 3

i think the key to maintaining a relationship is not about how you are head over heels in love with the person, or how much time you spend with the person, or how much you sacrifice for that special one. because all these change over time. after a year or so, you hardly experience that 'madly-in-love' feeling anymore. and it's impossible to stick with your guy 24/7 because to the world we are still two separate entities. also, people change so much over time. a little event can cause a big change in a person's character, although it may be a gradual change.

therefore, i think the key is how well we accept our partner's change, and ALSO, how well we can adapt to our own change. many break-up reasons are like "he's changed", but we never realise that we ourselves change too, but because we don't see or feel our change, from our point of view, that person has changed. but in reality, because we've changed, so how we view the person changes.

randomly thought of this while coming home from piano class. i like taking the train at 10 or 11am, because it's usually very unpopulated, and it's quiet, so i can use that time to have some conversations with myself, because it's hard to find a time when my brain's not occupied by something else. haha.

anyway i forgot to post what i can look forward to next week!
  • d's off on monday!
  • STARWARS on wednesday
  • bak kut teh with T9 peeps that are not on GSS
  • pulau ubin trip with suboo, unglammer, sister, lekzai :D
starwars is something that i look forward too, but yet i'm nervous bcos i may end up losing the battle D: hopefully the peeps in hk will have good news for us on monday!

and i hope the bak kut teh dinner is still on. i realise i miss my T9 classmates. it does feel a bit weird not seeing them regularly.

dinner with lyn on tues was awesome :D we went to MOF, which i had been wanting to eat for long. and i miss the outlet at lot 1. got to eat my favourite seaweed tomato pasta, and my favourite mango kakigori! (:

and even though we don't meet up often, we always don't run out of things to say whenever we meetup. and when it's time to part, i always feel that we have so much to talk about we could talk the whole night (: that's what a real friendship is all about. although we don't meet up as regularly as we meet our bfs (haha), but we take the effort to stay in each others' lives. :D love you moo! and when lendl is being kidnapped by SAF i can be ur substitute boyfriend heh :D

i'm really glad i persevered so long with my piano practical. i had always wanted to take my diploma, but once i started on it i felt it was so tough and i started doubting whether i could really do it cos it was really a big jump from grade 8. finally all my effort has paid off and ms chng says i shouldn't wait any longer; just sign up for the end of yr exam, cos i should be ready. :D all my songs are in place right now, just need to polish them up and gain confidence.

anyone knows where i can air my pieces in public? like playing for a group of ppl for some event or anything.

-

also, d has been such a wonderful boyfriend. 4 yrs 10 mths ago, till now. :D and we will stay strong. (:

王璿 - 愛是唯一




她是一个护士。她把这首歌献给一个她在照顾的伯伯,让他有继续生活下去的动力。

其实做护士也是一个很有意义的工作,只是不知道有多少人能够有那种耐心,那种无限的关爱。

突然间超佩服那些医护人员。

BACK, but i left part of me there.

the past 2 weeks was such an enriching experience for me, i find it unable to pen them down into words. the purpose of penning them down into words is for me to have a concrete record, so i can keep it as a memory forever, but i think no matter what, this experience will forever etch a deep memory in my heart, and there's no need to write down anything for remembrance.

the children were amazing, and i learnt so much from them. i went there with the heart to educate them a little; to teach them basic english so they can communicate with the outside world if they ever get a chance to. but in the end, they taught me how life can be so simple. they taught me how to appreciate every single little thing, even if it's just a sweet. they never complained, never whined; only listened attentively to every word you say, and jotted down every single thing you wrote on the board. i'm touched by their passion for learning, and my only regret is that their education is not continuous. many thanks to the existing teachers from BFT over there, who are constantly teaching them mathematics - and i believe other relevant subjects as well.

through this trip, i gained muscles, got darker, but i truly enjoyed every single second of the experience. i really felt our teamwork at the construction site and during painting, and i am glad everyone poured their hearts out during sharing session. there were no major conflicts, everybody worked well with each other, and i think we're the best team ever. i've never felt so much bonding within the whole team. even in bp band, i only felt bonding within my section. but for a team of 21 people to have such amazing ties, i think it's something i feel really grateful for, and i'm glad i cherished the days we were together. (:

BEST OVERSEAS TRIP EVER. i really don't know what else to say to express my gratitude, my happiness and my joy at having gained so much from this ocip. i treasure the friendships made with each and every one, and i hope we can really keep in touch, just like what some of you have said. :D

MOVED

i may (or may not) be back.
