This beats getting full marks :)

I'm so happy that i have to share my happiness here :) Gave a speech about filial piety and why we should appreciate and not take our parents for granted in college today. It went ok, there were some technical glitches and a few stumbles, but overall, it was an ok job. I was satisfied with it. But what really made my day was when a guy I didn't know walked up to me after the speech, shook my hand and said:"Good job. I liked your speech. It was touching." That simple compliment touched my heart and made me so happy. Because it actually meant that someone listened and maybe got persuaded to treat their parents better :) I'm happy that my speech touched some hearts.

Reliving december =(

I know i'm feeling much better when i can go online. LOL. Hope it will be a 100% recovery by tomorrow and i will finish my speech in one day. Voice, please come back to me. Pretty please! I need you for Friday.

I realize that once you are contented with life, there is nothing much that can make you sad or give you worries.

Many little gestures touched my heart recently. They may seem small, but they certainly did brighten up my day and left a lasting impression on me. A classmate bought scar cream for me just because she saw it and thought of me. Course mates made a banner showing their support during music presentation. Honestly, these gestures touched my heart, put a smile on my face and made me real thankful and happy. 感恩。

I like life as it is now. Simple and uncomplicated. Living life with a heart. Laughter and joy is never far away if we understand and accept life as it comes our way.

Watched Lion King 3D today in the cinemas. Lion King was always one of my favourite Disney cartoons. But watching it again after so many years, i actually realized that it is a deep and meaningful movie. There's much that we can learn from the movie. Being all grown up, i appreciate and understand the movie much better this time around. Respect for all living things, learning from the past, not to be afraid of showing weaknesses are but a few of the valuable life lessons that can be reviewed from this classic cartoon.

I like to keep things simple.

Hakuna Matata, it means no worries =)

Mumblings of a female.

I feel flabbier but i'm actually lighter. I think i really need to exercise. My muscle mass is diminishing, which is not good. Ok! Jog!

Procrastinating again.

Watched ‘唐山大地震’again. Watched it with my mom because i wanted her to watch it. I typed nice, but nice is not exactly the correct word here. Yea, good would be more appropriate. It is a good movie. And this time around, one sentence remained in my head- “ 没了，才知道什么叫没了。” Nothing in life is constant except change. This i truly believe right now. I used to be afraid of change, maybe afraid isn't the right word, more like a part of me don't really like change. But now, i know that change is part and parcel of life. No matter how you try to avoid change, it will happen for sure. But change is not always bad i suppose. Things change for a reason. You might not know it now but just have faith that change is always for the better in the long run. =)


If all changes come with a warning sign like the one above, it would certainly make life a little easier.

A few quotes on change which i stumbled upon while procrastinating from studying. (Procrastinating is definitely something i should change. Lol.)

"All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another." - Anatole France

"When people are ready to, they change. They never do it before then, and sometimes they die before they get around to it. You can't make them change if they don't want to, just like when they do want to, you can't stop them." - Andy Warhol

"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude." - Maya Angelou

"People change and forget to tell each other." - Lillian Hellman

"Know what's weird? Day by day, nothing seems to change, but pretty soon...everything's different." - Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes

"If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got." - Anon

Ok. Enough procrastination. I should really start changing and not do last-minute work. Lol.

Blogging for procrastination

Just woke up from a nap and am supposed to either study or write my research methods project. But here i am blogging. It's just my way of procrastinating. I am a pig in that sense. Lazy. 3 things to do today. None done yet and it's already 4pm.

On another note. Went for my first tuition lesson as a tutor today. Yes, a tutor, not a tutee. Lol. It was pretty funny. I prepared 2 chapters for a 2 hour class. It wasn't sufficient, i had to read and teach for chapter 3. But overall, i should say that it was ok. I wonder whether i was much help to the two girls. Seems like all i did was explaining to them what was already in the book, which i'm sure they can read themselves. Hmm.. Shall set quizes and exercises for next week? Lol. I'm actually pretty enthutiastic about this!!! Hopefully i give them their money's worth!

I realized that i have not been doing anything else besides going to class recently. Not studying for tests, quizes. Lol. That shall stop today. And i should start preparing for uni apps again. There goes the whole tedious cycle once more.

Ok. Enough procrastination i suppose. Back to being a dilligent student. (yea, i wish!) Come on TCY!

Attitude is everything.

Why do i say that attitude is everything? Lol. Check this out:

Sometimes, it might seem hard to achieve what we want to achieve, but remember this:

Yes, we can do anything and everything, if only we want to. It depends on whether our heart is in it. It depends on how badly we want it. There's nothing that we cannot achieve, if it all depends just on ourself.

But still, there's always that thing called luck and fate that might interfere. Right? As long as you try your best, there will be no regrets.

Busy busy weekend, but i am still a lazy bum. I can do it! Lol.
