Possibilities.

Don't prepare for rainy days without enjoying today's sunshine. Let live; let's be ourselves.

Anything Is Possible

Believe in Yourself, and remember that, Anything Is Possible

Believe in what makes you feel good.
Believe in what makes you happy.
Believe in the dreams you've always wanted to come true, and give them every chance to.

Life holds no promises as to what will come your way.
You must search for your own ideals and work towards reaching them.

Life makes no guarantees as to what you'll have.
It just gives you time to make choices and to take chances and to discover whatever secrets might come your way.If you are willing to take the opportunities you are given and utilize the abilities you have, you will constantly fill your life with special moments and unforgettable times.

No one knows the mysteries of life or its ultimate meaning, but for those who are willing to believe in their dreams and in themselves, life is a precious gift in which anything is possible.

You and me.

It's a guy/girl thing.
It's guy, followed by girl. Hahahah to the person who had the time to think of all these stuff.


"Haven't I seen you someplace before?"
"Yeah, that's why I don't go there anymore."

"So what do you do for a living?"
"Female impersonator.

"Is this seat empty?"
"Yes, and this one will be too if you sit down."

"So, wanna go back to my place?"
"Well, I don't know. Will two people fit under a rock?"

"I'd like to call you. What's your number?"
"It's in the phone book."
"But I don't know your name."
"That's in the phone book too."

"What sign were you born under?"
"No Parking."

"I know how to please a woman."
"Then please leave me alone."

"Haven't we met before?"
"Yes, I'm the receptionist at the V.D. Clinic."

"I want to give myself to you."
"Sorry, I don't accept cheap gifts."

"I can tell that you want me."
"Ohhhh. You're so right. I want you... to leave."

"Hey, baby, What's your sign?"
"Stop."

"Hey cutie, how 'bout you and I hitting the hot spots?"
"Sorry, I don't date outside my species."

"May I see you pretty soon?"
"Why? Don't you think I'm pretty now?"

"Your body is like a temple."
"Sorry, there are no services today."

"I'd go through anything for you."
"Good! Let's start with your bank account."

"I would go to the end of the world for you."
"Yes, but would you stay there?"

"Your place or mine?"
"Both. You go to yours and I'll go to mine."

"Does beauty run in your family?"
"It obviously doesn't in yours!"

"What's your name sexy?"
"Taken!"

"Do you believe in love at first sight or do you want me to walk by again?"
"Yeah, but this time don't stop!"

"I think you're the best looking girl in here."
"Really? Well, I'd better go find the best looking guy then, hadn't I!"

"Your legs go clear up to your a**."
"Most peoples' do!"

"Can I buy you a drink?"
"Go ahead, but only if you buy my boyfriend one too!"

"You look like a dream."
"Go back to sleep."

"What`s it like being the most beautiful girl in the bar?"
"What`s it like being the biggest liar in the world?"

"I can see forever in your eyes."
"But all I can see is never in yours."

Finito.


Finito; finished, ended.

Formal educational institutions often place heavy emphasis on the assessment of the student performance following the delivery of a set curriculum, so as to ensure that students are effectively and adequately equipped with necessary knowledge and skills for future employment. On the other hand, the learning journey itself has often been perceived as a period of time interspersed with boundless learning opportunities, coupled with constant self-reflection and an open-mind, focusing on learning process seems to be more effective than focusing on earning a degree and gaining employment, in achieving the holistic development of an individual. However, while the unique learning process one experiences contributes to the development of character, the acquiring of soft skills and the gleaning of new insights, it would be myopic to perceive the final outcome of education as any less important and valuable than the process itself.

IN some ways, aren't we all tasked to be people we are not? Defined by societies' standard? Expected to fit the mold, thrust into our faces with the ever so pleasing tag-line: Do or die? It is of course, running away from it all should one choose to exclude oneself, but what could the individual do otherwise? Distort one's perceptions and values, in attempt to accommodate to the unjust stereotyped model one is expected to adhere to? Perhaps, perhaps not. It wouldn't be smart to go against the establishment, would it? Rather than taking camps and causing upheavals, why not take a step back, take yourself out of it? Better, no?

Tomorrow's a new mantra; let it be a new start.
Could it be able everyone settles with something, and move on ahead?
Is it possible, we cross ultimately, the final, finishing line, together?

Impasse.

 I wish I could do what I set out for, at times.
But if doing something warranted only negativity, why in the first place am I setting out for it?

---

If we could let things slide, would we?
If reparations were made, due apologies given, would we let bygones be bygones, and stay friends through the episode, or drift apart, never to see together again?
Would there ever, be a chance for the sun to shine through those overhead, stormy clouds?
Would we hence forgo resplendent times for the cold impasse that lies ahead?
Would we?

It is definitely human to comment, talk, think, act like how our hearts tell us to.
Some people do it in a more provocative way, some do it in a more concealed manner, it is definitely up to the individual. And yes, although it is admittedly up to the individual to exercise their discretion, would it be unjust to say that 'it is human to err'? I wouldn't know, not that I would be right either, but hey, sometimes, most times, apologies should be taken graciously and matters of the past put behind, as hard as it is to do, though easy to mention? If it were me, definitely, I'll try. And my best at it, too.

"Save You"
Simple Plan.

Take a breath
I pull myself together
Just another step till I reach the door
You'll never know the way it tears me up inside to see you
I wish that I could tell you something
To take it all away

Sometimes I wish I could save you
And there 're so many things that I want you to know
I won't give up till it's over
If it takes you forever I want you to know

When I hear your voice
Its drowning in a whisper
It's just skin and bones
There's nothing left to take
And no matter what I do I can't make you feel better
If only I could find the answer
To help me understand

Sometimes I wish I could save you
And there're so many things that I want you to know
I wont give up till it's over
If it takes you forever I want you to know

That if you fall, stumble down
I'll pick you up off the ground
If you lose faith in you
I'll give you strength to pull through
Tell me you won't give up cause I'll be waiting if you fall
Oh you know I'll be there for you

B is for Blunders.

Because You Loved Me
Celine Dion

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right

For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful, baby

You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through
Through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me, ooh, baby

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach

You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love, I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me

Maybe, I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because
I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were always there for me, the tender wind that carried me
The light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

Thanks. For having faith even though.. Hahaa. (:

Fear.



(Y) ;D

Fear.
Of losing something, someone, somehow or another.
It's a slow, paralyzing poison, as you watch your goals slip out of reach, forever so far.
It's so far, yet so near. And as we grapple and flail around attempting to hold it in place we do realize that though somethings are salvageable, others aren't. Doubt, despair, they start to set it, don't they?
Of what the future holds, how the situation is to be alleviated or possibly, solved.

'If you don't lie down no one can walk on you.'

If it's got to start, it'd better had to be soon.
Whilst it's still not too late.

--

Courage

Courage is admitting that you're afraid and facing that fear directly. It's being strong enough to ask for help and humble enough to accept it.

Courage is standing up for what you believe in without worrying about the opinions of others. It's following your own heart, living your own life, and settling for nothing less than the best for yourself.

Courage is daring to take a first step, a big leap, or a different path. It's attempting to do something that no one has done before and all others thought impossible.

Courage is keeping heart in the face of disappointment and looking at defeat not as an end but as a new beginning. It's believing that things will ultimately get better even as they get worse.

Courage is being responsible for your own actions and admitting your own mistakes without placing blame on others. It's relying not on others for your success, but on your own skills and efforts.

Courage is refusing to quit even when you're intimidated by impossibility. It's choosing a goal, sticking with it, and finding solutions to the problems.

Courage is thinking big, aiming high, and shooting far. It's taking a dream and doing anything, risking everything, and stopping at nothing to it make it a reality.

变.




世事在变,一切一切都在变。不论是明显的锐变,还是丝毫不被发觉的缓变都是变。

有什么是不变的?最善变的莫过于人心了,感情更是说变就变,不需任何理由与借口。

两个人在一起久了,就会变。

或许是他变了,可能是她变了,更可能的是两人都变了。也许是时间不对,也许是地点不同,更可能的是心境变了。

一男一女在一起,感情最初会由谈变浓,再由浓转变回谈。这种变的过程是大多数的恋人所会经历的。

有些变会令你喜悦万分,如追求多年的异性忽然改变而接受你的爱;你那固执的父母突然变得开通。

有些变则令你感到心痛、心伤,如你爱着的伴侣突然舍你而去,不再爱你;你疼爱的人变得堕落。

世上有什么事是不会变的?

钞票会贬值、美女会变老妇、朋友会变敌人、深交会变成陌路人,一切在变!

面对这百变的社会,我们能怎样?

只能改变自己去适应它。

有时想想也觉得可悲。。

Excerpt

B^5
What's over and done with, would remain so.
Dwell not on the past, but face the future with strength and courage.
Take steps, regardless whether powerful strides or baby steps, but work towards your dreams.
Don't let up, don't give up, don't stop being yourself.
It takes alot of courage to face, and amend one's troubles and worries, more so to leave one's own comfort zone to do that. Many have attempted, many have succeeded; you will, too. For we all have faith in you.
Reluctance aside, emotions aside, really, from the bottom of my heart --- all the best in your future endeavors.

sevenE, (24)

Masquerade.

 

 

天命无常终有常 时运当转自可转

 

很多时候, 我们都得做出不要做的选择.

自由选择.. 谁真正的拥有?

 

人类是命运中无妨, 悲哀的玩偶?  

真的吗?


 

'这一个世界, 是个绝望的深渊,

太多, 太多的陷阱, 一旦掉进去就出不来.'


也许吧. 

或也许, 这时是我们选择逃避现实的其中一个方式.


叫人难以了解的是, 大多数人为什么总是要用污浊的眼神看待生命?

各人有着各人的包袱, 各自的困难, 但怎么一些人总能屈服种种困难, 而另一般, 在挣扎中, 迷失自我?

人生道路, 无论如何, 一定要走, 但是方向, 终点, 是已自己决定.

虽然不知大雨何时停止, 乌云何时分散, 但也了解, 天, 总是会晴朗.


--


如果说,

 一切都是天意

一切都是命运

终究已注定


有谁会因而放弃

又有谁坚持到底

 

一个梦想

一个目标

我们一同前进

Masquerade.


In all forms of the word, going about under false pretenses, going about with false character.
Falsities, untruths, guises and pretenses, what more can we still expect?
People often say we're often living not for ourselves, but for others.
That our actions are pre-determined by social norms, peer and societal influence, that sovereignty over self is somewhat nonexistent. Juxtapose it with the age old streak of pugilistic values, where are we standing today?

生.

 Fight, or flight.

生.

有这么一句话:“好死不如歹活”,可见生比死好。很多人(特别是一些年轻人)只为了一点芝麻绿豆的小事便嚷着不想活了。

更 有很多人只吃了一点小苦头,便四处哭诉自己的命有多么的苦。

受一点小挫折、吃那么一点苦,算得了什么?

人根本无从选择自 己的命:既然已被父母生了下来,就该好好地生活下去。

其实想一想,生活在新加坡不好吗?

一不小心,命运作弄你,把你生在 非洲,你就是一个被鄙视的黑人;若在科威特,你现在或许还是无家可归;

更糟的是,如果生活在以前的年代,搞不好还落在中国某个暴君的统治 下;或者在德国希特勒的统治下;你说你现在是不是身在福中不知福?

有人这么说过:“我爱我的孩子,所以我不把他们生出来,到这个世界上受 苦。”

真不明白说这话的人,把孩子生下来,命运好坏由得他们自己去闯,至少他们曾来过这世上一趟。若根本没生下来,怎么去爱他们?

既然已被生了下来,何必再怨天怨地?这个世界是公平的。只要你肯闯,肯打拼,总会有收获。

去闯一闯吧,你不难发现这 世上还是美好的。

No, this isn't from myself. But from someone whom I find inspiring, yet close. On this dreary Saturday night/Sunday morning, it's these kind of things that keep me going on. More of what the world needs, over false fronted faces and unscrupulous intents. Really.

Soliloquy.

 Fly, my child, be with the wind.
 Fly, and leave your problems behind
 ---

High achievers, winners, so to speak.
Don't we all want to take after them, model after their successes, be in their shoes?

Well, it'll be good, for a change. But the thing is perhaps, whilst we think that our life is nothing but a trashy tabloid paper with uninteresting, nonsensical print, whilst we whine, moan and grumble all day our problems and do nothing about it, wouldn't others have their share of worries and troubles as well? I don't know, comparisons are made so often by so many people, I guess we don't see that particular fact anymore. Is it?

On a side note, I'd seen this from a friend, and well, it was really nice.


1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return.
But what is more painful is to love someone and never
find the courage to let that person know how you feel.

2. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who
means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was
never meant to be and you just have to let go.

3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a
porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away
feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

4. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose
it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been
missing until it arrives.

5. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an
hour to like someone, and a day to love someone-but it
takes a lifetime to forget someone.

6. Don't go for looks, they can deceive. Don't go for wealth,
even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you
smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day
seem bright.

7. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go,
be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and
one chance to do all the things you want to do.

8. Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it
hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.

9. A careless word may kindle strife. A cruel word may wreck
a life. A timely word may level stress. But a loving word may
heal and bless.

10. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best
of everything they just make the most of everything that comes
along their way.

11. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with
a tear. When you were born, you were crying and everyone
around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die,
you're the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.



Liked the last one especially.
