Happy Deepavali to all!!

Just came back from a wonderful chilling time at Bao's house, really got to thank her for inviting us to go and for everyone that came, u guys really made it fun! haha Well here are some pics of the place , mind the blurriness cause i was moving .

First two pics were us entering the huge mansion . haha Xiang Ting, Nurul, Aishah, Jer, Kel, Jiun Chyi, Jessie, Lynnette and i were able to make it.We actually hoped ju ju could go, but she had work,while we were visiting her shop, kel kept saying that he wanted to burn her shop down so she could go. haha so funny

The next two showed the Second floor of Espall's house, haha we spent most of the time there.

Lastly the coolest place in her house, haha ...its a secret room ....cant say much about it ...its a secret ( OMG,i can imagine kel shouting at me now " eh! don't act cute!")

Randomess at work

Currently in IBRC and we guys now are super bored.Yao wei is playing my i-touch, wan is playing this new game called spore ( u should play it , quite fun), kel is listening to music and jer is hard at work finishing his tutorial before the class start...oh not forgeting joey ....obviously.haha

But come to think of it this kind of boredness isnt so bad. Rather grateful that our class is very slack this year. Having a day off on wed, least 2hr break on both tues and thurs and ending really early the rest of the days is kinda good on people nerves cause we all have plenty of time to cut ourselves from the pressure.

Right, straight to the randomness. Currently the school has offered our course to study and work overseas at Disneyland and Universal studio. Now my question to you is , should i go? i'm now stuck in between this decision.Friends are telling me to take it, my parent are like " pls ! why dont u go ! its a great opportunity, we will support you!" so it seems that everything is in favor. hhmmm, But then why m'i so hestitanate to take up this chance ? ...

I thought about it for some time. Maybe i'm afraid to leave singapore for 6 months, maybe i feel that there is still alot going for me here in Singapore instead. haha,

Dont worry , i'm already decided to try and go for this overseas study trip. But i just want to know , is this how ppl left when they know they are leaving home for a long period of time?

haha

What photo mean to us in life

I just had a really good chat with esther, and during our chat she brought up a wonderful thing about how photo relate to us. She showed me her post and its so insightful and so to the heart of the issue, i had to copy it here.pls do read it and enjoy

Memories.

But I cannot make you happy.Photographs. Everybody likes to take photos everywhere we go, with whoever we meet, and whatever we see, so as to remember why we take these pictures, and the moments we used to have. The extent of taking photographs varies, such that some people would pose properly and purposely to appear pretty in the pictures, while some people would take any shot that last within a second, in which when you miss the shot, you miss it all.

Cameras implanted in handphones are getting so convenient, because we don't have to carry yet another camera with us just to take a few pictures which may not be as good as what the phone cameras can provide. For most phones, we can even add effects (night effect, some brown colour effect, etc.), frames, or even pictures when taking the photo, so as to add in more excitement and laughter when looking back at them.

But are we forgetting something?

I mentioned about the purpose of taking photos, where we go, who we are with, what we see, and why we take the photo shot... but how do we feel at the point when the photograph was being taken?

I personally don't take alot of photographs, but from what I see in the TV, from the people around me, I think that photographs are like contradictory items that we should just throw them away.

Take for instant, you just broke up with your girlfriend/boyfriend. But when you were looking through the photos taken with your other half, you either laugh over it because you had moved on, or cry bitterly because you are still struck with the break-up

.Let me ask you then, is this the purpose why you take the photo in the first place? To let you cry day and night because you predicted that both of you might not be together in the end? To let you get all so sad that once the picture is in your head, you'd act all so moody and dead all day long?

Nope. Of course those are not the reasons why you take the photos, right?

We take photos, because we want to remember the moments we share with the people, what we were doing at the very place and time, and how we felt at that time. This, my friend, is the actual and the correct meaning of what we call memories. To remember the happy times together, not to remind you of your break-up. If it is a reminder about your break-up, then you should, like what I said, just throw them all away. If that is the case, then there is certainly no point keeping those photos with you, isn't it?

I can only make you smile, but the way how you see things, will then allows you to be happy.

from esther

"Esther , teasure your views from your heart and soul, regardless the tides that crash in cause they may say you are a dreamer and all but dont forget they are dreamers out there too and i hope one day i'll be a dreamer just like you . haha "

hhmm ,sometimes really got to keep it as it is

Today was great, haha ,even though it was a simple outing with just nurul, wendy,wan, kel, jer, bao and eug. Thanks guys, for being there! really the simple things you all do really makes my day.

The first day of school was a little expected haha , filled with laughs and reunion.haha, thanks to wan ! Wah his joke today was damn funny! see , we were having our last class , which was Managing MICE. So like any first class ,we'd have ice breaker, ms Shirley Tee (the tutor) was running attendance until she read Wan's name. Since Ms Tee didn't know how to call wan ,she called Ridwan , " Johari" lol, the class laughed quite hard. But that not to funny part, it was what wan said after " oh , he went to work" ( keep in mind she still didn't know he was) hahahahaha

man the class couldn't stop laughing.

Oh! there was another funny incident, dunno why but it just crack me up thinking about it now. It about the end of our trip from Bugis and were getting infor about Eug's clubbing,it was his first time and the first time anyone grind himself while dancing. haha. The way he describe it ! haha

oh man i wish i could describe it here but , you have to really see it for yourself.

OH! by the way WAN REBORNED HIS HAIR!!

he looks really cool ! haha

love always win , so why arent we letting it ?

Here is a page of one of my fav books " tuesdays with morrie" , it talks about the two forces that act on us and what really matters to us .

"Have I told you about the tension of opposites?" Morrie says

Tension of opposites?

"Life if a series of pulls back amd forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even whent you know you should never take anything for granted.

A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle."

Sounds like a wrestling match, I say

"A wrestling match" he laughs. "Yes, you could describe life that way."

so which wins, i ask?

"which side wins?"

He smiles at me, the crinkle eyes, the crooked teeth.

"love wins. Love always wins."

I totally agree with what morrie says , who wouldnt like love to win in our life.But reflecting on this,i see 2 problems with our society that stops this from happening.... do you know what it is?

i blog about it the next time.

THE WINTER'S FALL

Can you remember the time when things seems just right , when you don't need the care in the world , everything is like a clock working just perfectly? Are you living like that now?

Well whether the answer is yes or no , do you always blame the ill situation which cause you your predicament? Well i do , almost all the time, actually in fact I'm guilty of blaming everything around me instead of myself when things don't seem to go well ( Bet you can relate) .But have i always known that what happens to me is up to how i see the things around me, have you ever given it a thought?

Life and its situation rarely has anything to play how we feeling in that moment.It all comes down to our mind.As the phrase goes " you get lemons make lemonades", so regardless what we can still think its just right if we think that it is. But what stem us to feel so unhappy at our current situation ? I personally think its our human nature to compare, to compare the past and the present , to compare our own situations with others. See , what is happiness if there is no base line to be happy? When you compare, you set a line/ a goal for yourself to be happy, that line is the your comparison and most of the time that line wont be met because you are experiencing something different. So if you have nothing to compare yourself with wouldn't it mean that there is nothing to stopping from controlling where the line should set ? haha wouldn't it mean that you will be happy just where you are?

I for one m trying very hard to set that goal to one day live a life free from comparing because whats a life if everything you see is going to upset you.All and all i hope this would make me a better person one day.

What do you think? do you too suffer from this problem?

Wait for me ...Michelle
