真实.虚假

2010-11-08T06:04:00.000-08:00

最后一次和她说话的内容：“去看医生啦！”短短几行字的一句话，却能使自己感动无比。为何？你问。真实，至少在我的世界里已难以寻到。相信在很多人的世界里也同样难以找到。生活在这残酷无情的社会里，人们都往往比不得以地戴上一个又一个假面具。就如俗语说：“人在江湖，身不由己。”就因为这样，真实的友情再也“不存在”了。不存在吗？还是自己戴上无数的假面具，戴到连自己都分不清楚是非黑白，真真假假？
在我的世界里，尤其是在这几年里，我找到了真实无比的友情。实在是无价之宝啊！虽然只是简单的五个字，听起来的那几个字，反而让自己回想许多假不了的时刻。真实，到底是什么？在我们面前说着我们想听的话，却不实话实说吗？不！真实，是明明知道自己对对方说的话有可能伤到他们，但还是不留任何余地的说，即使是他们不想听的话。良药苦口嘛，不是吗？好话总不是最中听的。帮到对方，才是有用的话。
世上为何会有那么多戴着假面具的人？那是因为，真实地对待，总会招来许多人的厌烦，使很多人不喜欢自己。也是因为这个事实，稀少的真诚对待，则是最宝贵的财富。所以，我们都该睁大眼睛，看看周围的人，用心去感应他们的心意，分辨出坦诚相对与虚情假意的人，然后好好珍惜那些真心对自己的人。因为，今日不知明日事，真正找到对自己坦诚相对的人在这一生中也不会有很多。关心自己的人，才会费力气着急，甚至生气。因为彼此之间的爱护则是没有人可以夺走的。朋友，你说是不是？

你知道我在说你。

Death.Life

2010-09-07T05:44:00.000-07:00

Death. What is it? Can there be different perspectives of it? To have experienced death before, what does it really feel like? Death -- it can be part of life. Or at least, I've experienced it before.

To feel to have died for two hours. JUST two hours you may say, but it felt like eternity. It seemed like nothing else mattered anymore, it's just yourself and the world crashing down on you. The feeling of having a priceless asset that you could ever have in your entire life and thereafter, losing every ounce of it. Or rather, trying to hold on to that single faith that the two people that mattered there and then would not lose faith in the other. Seems complicated? It's really heart-wrenching to know everything, and i mean EVERYTHING, but not knowing what to do at all. How crappy can that even start to feel?

And then that trigger comes and you're dead. No life, no shadow of a soul is within you, and there you are floating. Literally. Tears sear in your sockets but it just wouldn't come out. Your heart feels the pain but there's nothing you can do. Feel helpless? Totally. That is death, part of life. The death of hope being held on for so long. The death of faith lingered by a thread.

But there is something else that is born with it. Like a phoenix emerging from the flame. The birth of friendship. A friendship stronger than before, even, starting stronger than any other before. The love of sisters that started like there's no other. What is that sweetness? In my dialect, 苦中一点甜. Leave it, as a voice of wisdom would say and you would get clear water even when the water was muddy before as the sediments settles down.

In life, we learn from the lessons that take us further each day. In death, we learn from the pain that makes us stronger each day. It is the love revealing from within that makes everything worthwhile. For me, the love of a beloved friend and a dear sister.

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. Love the people who treat you right, forgive the ones who don't and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it'd be easy. They just promised that it would be worth it.

生命.爱

2010-09-02T07:33:00.000-07:00

人生确实很无常。生命的脆弱，谁能够衡量？人生包含着许多点滴，在生命的过程中却被毫无意义的事情所蒙住。值得吗？人们常说：“爱，可以化解恨。因为爱是无私的。”话虽然这么说，但人往往都不会珍惜眼前所有对自己珍贵的事物。偏偏要等到失去，才懂得珍惜。未免太晚了吧？
要在短短的十几年里找到属于我们的知己实在是难上加难。若有一个特别的人能够让自己在十分钟内哭笑不得，是好事还是坏事呢？到了初级学院交上了无数的朋友，分出真假吗？或许有可能吧。但对我而言，有许多事是迷糊的。最清澈的还是那在身旁首着自己，知己明亮的心。
有着这种幸福，很简单。只要懂得去爱、打开心灵接受那朋友给予自己的爱，幸福不就找到了吗？
在初级学院找到的知己会是我一生中最难忘的。当然，我所拥有的一切会是我最珍惜的一切，拥有的会一直存在，除非自己狠心放弃。心灵的深处因害怕再次受到伤害，终于再次打开心肠，都感激着那些一直陪在身边的所有人。
生命太短了，人没有多余的时间去后悔昨天所犯的错。所以，我们应该去爱对我们好的人，原谅那些犯错的人。如果机会敲着们，就紧紧握着。如果它改变你的人生，就由它去改。没有人说人生很简单，只是答应这个路程会值得。

Life.Appreciate

2010-03-12T19:42:00.000-08:00

Life has been really up the hills this year.To find a new family that I never knew i had, to share the bonds that we never thought we would ever make, to appreciate each other that we never thought we would. This bond that I have found in this special place was amazing built in less than 3 months of a beginning of a new phase of everyone's life. The laughter shared, the tears shed. What can be more meaningful than a time that everyone can feel belonged to a family that lies within an even larger family?

This small family has many branches that linked to the outside of the bigger picture, with different families that we belong to outside of this one. The love and bonds shared between are precious and worth treasuring no matter what happens. A home away from home. Life never been this meaningful and fufilling for me til I found the people that made my life whole again. Emotional roller-coasters everywhere are expected in everyway. However, the values to uphold the bonds, to stick together as one, to strive as a whole,will never be lost.

无乐.心灵

2009-11-30T02:26:00.000-08:00

人，是一种很奇怪的动物。除了身体之外，人还包含着自己的灵魂。一个人的快乐并不取决于他做的事，反而，一个人的快乐是由自己的选择而定。心灵里感受到的情绪并非是表面的感情。感情是可以形容，可以表达的。但情绪往往都很难形容，但却可发泄。人生有许多我们人类不明白的事，解释不了的事实。甚至，在某些时候，我们觉得自己很孤单，心情很乱，很复杂。连自己都不清楚自己要的是什么。前面的路总是看起来很艰难，很难走。看了那遥远又辛苦的路铺在眼前，实在觉得很累，真的不想再走下去了。在这时，我们都很想放弃，把自己的命给丢了，放弃自己，结束生命似乎是一种解脱。那则是最自私的选择。当然，也包括逃避。

爱，依然存在。身边的每一个人都没有想过要放弃我们，我们又怎能放弃自己呢？在生命的每个阶段里，总会有人陪着我们一起度过，我们也从来没有孤单过，只是我们太在意自己的烦恼与感受，使我们无法发现在我们身边爱护我们，关心我们的人。这些人可能是我们的家人，或是我们的朋友。他们也可能是我们刚认识的人，帮到我们，没有留下任何痕迹而离开。这些都是上帝赐给我们的守护天使，当上帝的两只手，在我们跌倒时，上前扶我们一把，让我们更有勇气地继续走我们各自的人生旅程。不管是属于哪个宗教的人，上天都是一视同仁，一样爱着我们，一直都留在我们身边，一步都没离开过。

凝聚着最多爱的地方就是家。家人总是会对我们不离不弃，在我们生命里最低落的时候站在我们身旁，以期面对困难。所以我深信，虽然我们生在世上是有着我们该完成的任务，但是排在第一位的是孝顺父母，疼爱兄妹。做个快乐的孩子并不难，只看自己愿不愿意去做。烦恼在我们成长的过程总会浮现，但做个好女儿或好儿子都是我们的本分。的确，有时我们真的在困境里很难开心起来，但只要是清楚知道家人的存在，爱的存在都会在自己的心灵里逗留着，那已经足够。把心门打开来，让在身边的人与上天给予我们的爱进来，生命就不会孤独，反而会温暖幸福。

Memories.Heartfelt

2009-11-28T22:07:00.000-08:00

Memories that stay within our soul.Memories that we ourselves may have forgotten somehow.Memories that resurface when we are deep in our sleep.Memories that make us feel belonged to where we are and rediscover ourselves.

It is indeed difficult to forget some things that may have happened to us and on the other hand, it is also easy to forget those that we may or may not choose to forget.Faces of people that we have seen before sometimes feel so close to our hearts as our soul recognises the people but not our brain.Confusing, we may say.However, it is the broken pieces of memories that come together in our dreams that we ourselves know that it is not as simple as a dream but rather, a part of our own past.There's that special something that allows us to differenciate the normal dreams to that of fragments of our own memories.

Memories are shy and have different characteristics.They sometimes hide deep inside us and never come back out.It is the believe in these momories that allows them to muster enough courage to resurface again.It is a choice that each and everyone of us can make, or not.

More than a year have passed since my last post and many things have happened in my absense of my blog.Both major and minor changes have taken place in this past year which made me realise that there are actually some people whom I have met or seen for the first time but felt like I've known them forever.

It's not about myself boasting about anything but sharing my experiences that I have found interesting and unable to decipher.

Knowing the truth but unable to explain the logic behind it is not scientific in any possible way. However, understanding that the truth lies within ourselves from everyday happenings linking up to the memories that one had dreamt about. That particular dream that had felt so real with the emotions that actually touched our heart even when we awake. The hurt that we felt and emphatise with the person in our dream that our heart had identified as someone our soul knows but a pity not our brain.

Heartfelt emotions that make us feel connected to the special one in our mind's eye through our heart.

Friends.Love

2008-07-25T06:35:00.000-07:00

There are times when i envy some of my friends a lot! They are just so loved by so many people naturally, without doing much. I guess, being loved is such a beautiful thing. However, do people really know what they really have and try all ways and means to keep it safe and never let go?
I don't think so! Many people take things for granted but what is their blessing is that they have friends whom they don't know of, trying their best to make them feel happy and loved always. These people may have overlooked the "oblivious" friends around them as they are already so loved that they do not even realise that there was actually that another person who loves them.

Perhaps, the people who are loved may one day realise that one person that had been trying to reach out to them. Would it be too late then? No one knows for sure. Trying to make others trust you sure is difficult. But, to me, the most important thing is to perservere and never give up! I believe that it is indeed easier to give up rather than to hold on so tightly. However, if you would give up so early, ask yourself, why in the first place, you had wanted to grab hold of it? Friends are hard to find and it is indeed encouraging that when you are down, they are always there to pull you up.

Being that category of friends is what i aspire to be. Be it being the darlings of your friends or your friends are the dears of you deep inside. What's inside might not need to be make known and it shall be satisfying when you've found someone who can feel it without you trying so hard to make them understand.

There are many times when sometimes we ourselves feel that we can't trust our own family anymore. You trusted them enough but when you least expected, they would tell others that we might not want to be let known. News spread fast and in my experience, i feel that i can only tell both the things that make me happy as well as unhappy to my friends in school. It's disappointing when someone mistakes you for something you didn't do and at the same time, doesn't give you the chance to explain yourself, assuming that you are doing the wrong thing and that they are always right. Don't people ever try to tell right from wrong even if they are not in a very good mood?

Fortunately for me, i have friends who cares for me and that i can tell them about anything under the sun. I never had to worry whether they would brush my problems aside but in any situation, still want to hear me shout my heart out. It may seem childish to think this way but for me, it's really heart-wrenching if you can't even trust your own family.

To me, friends are the most important people that are in my life even though they are not really part of my real family. They are the people who let you cry your hearts out and not make you feel alone when you are. Just to hear their voice and know that they're there for you is good enough no matter what happens. That's why, they are always the ones who pick me up from my fall and make me feel happy and full of confidence again. Their sincere smiles are the best things that they have ever given me.

Thank you to all my beloved friends out there who know that you've helped me in one way or the other. I've never forgotten who you guys are and i never will. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

Things may not turn out how we want things to be everytime but when they do, most people take them for granted and when they don't, most people blame everyone else but not themselves. Building trust among the people around us is practically the most important thing that we can do no matter when or where, as long as we're in this world. Things that are able to be seen may not always be true and sincere. Therefore, when we have the chance to be able to treasure things that we have aound us, i guess we should treasure them so that we would not regret things that were done before in future.

Love, in every aspect, can be hurtful as well as give people happiness. There are also many types of love that we live among that we usually don't realise unless people tells us or when we find that we are about to lose it. Some examples are the love of our family, our friends and not only the love between couples that are common these days. Not that i do not agree with dating at this time, but there are the love that we have around us that we need to treasure other than the love between couples. Love is strong and can change lives. However, the love of our family and friends are unbreakable and even if relationships are strained, the special bond between our loved ones will never be lost. Find that special bond and it's best that we grab it tightly and not let it have the chance to slip past us!

The first day of school was just too tiring. I actually had to run 2.4km early in the morning!However, i was glad i did.Reason being that I had learnt an important lesson along the way.As I had company to run with me, she was frequently stopping saying that she was already very tired and could not run anymore.The thing that i wanted to do straight away was to hold her hand and make her follow me,be it jogging or brisk-walking. I couldn't care less. I was actually not a very good runner myself as my stamina has always been dragging me down. However, today was totally different.Although i had felt tired at different points of time during the run,what i was focusing on was more on encouraging my tired friend to push herself to harder and to her limits.Perhaps that's why i wasn't feeling THAT tired during the run.But, after the run, i was extremely lethagic!I couldn't even stand stabily on my two feet. It really felt good to complete the run and passed it the first time. It was even more satisfying when you know you have helped someone achieved their targets.

When we were walking back to school, my P.E teacher told me that the joy in life is to make the best of what you have rather than what you don't have.It really makes people a happier person to be grateful for what you already have than being unhappy that you yourself don't have what others have.That'll probably make us very sad people! It's also just as important to stay optimistic no matter what the problems in front of us lies and just go for it rather than just being scared that you will fail. It's also great sharing experiences to others so that they will also learn from my experiences and make the best of what they have.

For these past 3 days, i had the most enjoyable workshop in my life!! The coaches that were holding the worshop were just fantastic!From the past three days, i have learnt that there are many different types of people that are around us that we ourselves may not know of. Friends are always there beside us but do we really know what kind of a person they are behind closed doors? I've seen, through the games that we've played together that conflicts do arise most of the time when people wants to win. To me, the best way to resolve the conflict, or even avoid starting one, is to opt for a win-win situation where everybody wins in some way or the other. One party may win more than the other but this is unavoidable. At least, you know that you have won and still have people's trust at the end of the day.

Everyday, everyone have many different types of stress to deal with, be it physically or emotionally. Something i learnt from this 3-day workshop is to have more motivation and make more proactive action to lift our loads to reach the highest potential fufilment easier. In general, i have learnt many important values that we have to have within our team now or the future. Teamwork.Communication.Motivation.Coordination.and most importantly, TRUST! This value of trust was the most memorable. We played a game called X+Y. We had to earn as much money through flashing placards to get the sum of money written on the board. We had to trust each group that they would not betray us in putting the card instead of the one that we agreed upon.

The other game that we played was to sit on the lap of the person behind us and form a a stable circle. All we had to do was to trust that the person behind us can take our weight and sit on them. That was the only way to make the circle stable. I hope that everyone out there would also have the oportunity to try the games i played with my friends and learn the lessons from it. I'll continue to write more about what i leant during the workshop soon as this was not all the fun ended. Til then, all the best!

Friends.Treasure

2008-05-16T02:22:00.000-07:00

Real friends are hard to come by and i think that the least that i can do is to treasure all the times spent with them. I feel that my life is almost always perfect when my precious friends are with me.They are the ones who particularly make me feel special. There are maybe times that we don't agree with each other but i believe that between friends who understands us more than we sometimes do, it's possible to clear any misunderstangings or disagreements with them.

Real friends are the ones who walk in when the whole world walks out. I've seen many different types of people in my schooling years up til now and have also grown to judge a person's good and bad points(generally) by seeing how they act and the way they talk. It's really important to choose the friends to be with and also to treasure them in any way you can. Regrets are just not acceptable when a friendship ends. Friendship is a special bond and i really want everyone to realise that the special bonds that you have developed with your friends should not be broken easily and we should all do our best to keep the flame of friendship alive!

There are times when we see things from a different perspective than others. However, to improve relationships between the people that we love, i believe that we should look at things from their point of view and try to understand them. This was actually a lesson that i learnt from a book that i had just read. It made me realise that if i try to understand others more, there would not be so many misunderstandings happening in this world.

Some people may agree with me but others may not. But, the point i'm trying to put across today to all those who bothers to read this post is that things may not happen the way you want but always make the best about what you have and try to understand the people around you as they are also trying their best to go on with their lives and at the same time help you whenever thay can. So, the best thing you could do for all these people is to appreciate the love that they have for the special you and not take them for granted. Reason being, you never really treasure until the thing's lost and then regret it!

I wouldn't want the people that have appeared in my life at any point of time to be hurt in any way and if i can, i would do eveything i can to protect them. ;
To everyone out there, treasure all that you have and live your life with no regrets!

It's kind of funny that we usually have thoughts about the people that were always by your side ----friends.There are times when i just couldn't think of anything do and that's when they pop up as i on my MP3 and blast my mind with the music that i love.These so-called "inpirations"about what i think about them usually come from the songs that i listen to.

Recently, i bought a new album that i liked all the songs in it. There were particularly two songs that i could express my feelings about. The lyrics in it were spot-on about the things i want to do for my precious friends that were always there for me. The songs are Here I Am and Footprints in The Sand by Leona Lewis. There are many things that i want to do for the people around me but sometimes, i just can't think of what to do for them. In any case, everything that i ever try to do for them has only one goal----to see the smiles on their faces. That would be the best present i can ever get cuz' when i see their beautiful smiles that is coming from the bottom from their little hearts, i feel that whatever i had dome would be worth everything, just in change for their smiles. They are what truly make my world and what makes me happy!

I really appreciate everything that my wonderful friends have given me and the times that they have spent with me, whether in studying together or playing together. Thanks Everyone! Expect a little surprise coming up from me, Ji Jia Zu;)
