The extra mile.

Sorry I overheard the conversation. You know it's alright if you don't wanna go, cos I know it's probably a waste of time and effort. But I just felt like someone of no worth at all when I'm being pushed to others. It can be a little hurtful to hear lol :'(


I still rmb what Jolene posted before.
"别人对你好,那是情分。对你不好,那是本分。"这句话似乎反映了人的一生。也因为这样,我一直好感谢那些对我很好的人、一路帮助我的人。这么一说,心里好些了… (:

恩在心里口难开。

He's the one who saw me through my JPS journey. He's the one who always introduced me to almost everyone we meet with a glow in his eyes, saying "She's the one who won NIE Shine!", making me feel like i was his pride. He's the one who felt unjust for me over my proposed practicum result and even went out of his way to fight for my grade. 

Thinking that he'd lose the fight, he felt so upset that he didn't have the courage to call me. He eventually did and I got to know everything. 

My eyes blurred, not because of the outcome, but because of what he did for me. He didn't have to do it, but he still did. Pass/Credit no longer matter to me, for now I know there's a teacher in my life who believes in me, so strongly. I felt it. And that's more than enough already. 

邵老师,谢谢您。

Ohana.

I think i got to say this. Something i felt strongly. Yesterday I realized how much all of us treasure this decade long friendship. Everyone had prior dinner plans because it was Mother's Day. But it was also Max's birthday on the same day. It's like already near 11pm when everyone reached and we came from all parts of Singapore- Changi, Bugis, Redhill, Bukit Timah, Clementi, all the way to Yew Tee, just to celebrate this special day of his. Although we spent like only 1 hour together, I felt happy. Like really happy. Yes, new friends can be nice to have. But sometimes I can't help but feel that old friends are the best (:

Nuff said, just watch.

"WOW! A profound look at life, in 4 minutes. You have to watch this -- and share it. We literally welled up with tears -- very rarely does that happen.

The camera wanders and shows the inner lives of people around us as they do their daily tasks. Most of it is set in a hospital, where there is so much worry, sadness, some joy, bad news, good news, no news, anxiety, fear -- as in real life, but perhaps magnified.

We've all BEEN there - experienced at least one of these people's lives. Hence, the tears! It's so TRUE.

This short video is at once quiet, profound, powerful, true, simple -- and so supremely human. It was produced by the Cleveland Clinic, as an example of their regard for empathy.

It's a profound reminder: we ALL have our story. Others have theirs. We NEVER know. And to treat others with the benefit of the doubt, with courtesy, with compassion, with respect."


Nuff said, just watch.
