ok quick one,gotta archive this memory.

conversations i had which give me the energy/boost needed during this crazy period.

“eh aku miss nary ah.and the times kita tinggal sebelah2.miss the feelings man!”

“yeah same.rodee!time2 kat hotel,lunch,dinner,supermarket,traffic yg gila,island semua uh”   

“and walking down the alley mlm2.haha aku miss milo!takde kat s’pore seh botol besar gitu,tuang air bleh dpt 2 botol.then hari2 kau nk check email haha.kena beli card internet tu semua..”

“yup aku miss the time aku send dia email and facebk comments kat lobby uh haha.then kau kat sebelah tlg aku apa nk tulis haha.kena gigit nyamuk semua.”

i miss Cambodia… and spoke to a cousin abt our future, goals, plans, cars, investments, uni, etc. reminisced our secondary sch days; track and field, funny moments, etc…

meanwhile, it’s June isn’t it? S’pore Arts Festival, sales, etc & tests+projs!

…II

im sitting near the verandah reading an article and trying to complete my sch projects,albeit the fact that it’s 2.30am.i got distracted/bored,hence the typing of these words.well,maybe i shall stop writing in this memorable/historical wordpad and withdraw into my shell,like a hermit. 

i scrolled from the first post to the last,i saw the product of my objective;to archive some things online lest it may fade away with age/time.of course,more things had happened and will happen but you’ll never know what the future holds.only God,the All-Knowing,knows and thus,to Him ill always ask for mercy and help.

im bewildered by certain issues.from social to political ones,etc.(in the bckground,93.8 is discussing abt marital issues,school,gambling,etc!).i ask,why do some tend to reach a conclusion/contribute an idea even w/o knowing anything abt that particular topic.or simply,an idea/stand shld be backed with evidence or rational reasons,only then the related parties could benefit and avoid unnecessary problems.besides,it doesnt require 1000KJ to ask or even think!

as usual,there’re trillions of issues circulating in both brilliant & curious inventions called brain and media respectively.but sadly,when a sleep/rest is in need due to a certain degree of fatigue,one just says,”a sleep is a sleep”.so here’s;

is it kismet?

Go to fullsize image there’s something special abt waking up early and watch the sun rise.and it’s really uplifting to watch a dawn break,thinking abt the chances and possibilities of a new day,with a tinge of optimism and energy.

sometimes when im out enjoying myself,be it in sports or with family/friends,thoughts of those kids ard my age who are less privileged creep into mind.some have to work multiple jobs to assist their family while some face anomalies such as poverty or struggle against chronic/deadly illnesses.honestly it scares me and i feel moved.so i think it’s very impt to always appreciate things in life and be thankful,for ive seen for myself how those ppl persevere to enjoy a normal life amidst such predicaments.such ppl give me inspiration & motivation in my pursuit for success/goals while teaching me exemplary values.

life’s never been free of trials,distractions,setbacks,etc.and sometimes you feel so dispirited that the mind goes blank,the heart turns heavy,hands tied up in the sky,feet wedged firmly into the ground and soul feels empty.well,that’s when patience and positivism become imperative.here’re some quotes to ponder-

‘it’s all in the mind’ -roger federer

‘champions take chances,pressures are privileges’ -some king who txt maria sharapova in the aus open final

‘the part can never be well unless the whole is well’ -plato

‘a little with quiet is the only diet’ -scottish proverb

‘the art of medicine’s generally a question of time’ -ovid

‘learning to be aware of feelings..is an essential lifetime skill’ -joan borysenko

‘imagination is the eye of the soul’ -joseph joubert

‘we must always change,renew,rejuvenate ourselves;otherwise we harden’ -goethe

‘try not become a man of success,but rather try become a man of value’ -albert einstein

ps:we can’t always get everything we want.
