Human.

Lovely people in my life.

On Thursday, we had a group presentation on Reader's Theatre

and I must say I really, really enjoyed it.

Bascially, the idea of Reader's Theatre is like you have a script in your hands

and you read aloud to the audience. Without stage settings or props,

it is through the variation of the tone of your voice and input of feelings

that will lead the audience to the world of imagination!

Wow. It was like relinquishing the primary school days,

with the exceptation that I've grown. I remember vividly during the primary school days, there was a girl named Joan, who was transferred to our school.

When Chinese lessons came, our teacher would often call upon her name

for her to stand up and read the passage aloud to the whole class and each time,

she can often read fluently and clearly. At that point in time,

I secretly wish that I could read like her and she became my epitome.

After more than a decade, my wish has been fulfilled!

To be able to read fluently, clearly and full of feelings in front of everybody.

I've always wanted to say that..

I really appreciate my group members Ai Hui, Serene and Hou Lin.

（We call ourselves 向日葵姐妹！Haha.）

Despite the friction that's inevitable during group work,

I seriously enjoy working together with them.

Sometimes, I'm just amazed at how understanding they can be.

There was once, i bought an extra sandwich to class for Serene (cos it's 830am lesson

and she lives in Bedok) and when I reached, in her hand was another sandwich for me!

Ai Hui will always be the one who'll churn out the powerpoint slides,

and beautiful ones, without a single word of complaint.

Hou Lin is like a general who'll correct and point us

to the right direction and put us on the right track. And right,

she'll always make sure we have enough rest and not overwork for the project!

As we tend to have group presentations on Thursday,

without fail, we will meet on Thursday morning at 830am

for a final rehearsal just to make things right before the final showdown in class!

It's simply heartening that all of us are usually punctual,

to be able to look beyond the comfort of our beds and to

come to school early in the morning with a bigger picture in mind-

the desire to put on a good show in the classroom, together.

Perhaps, this is what synergy is all about.

I love the SUNFLOWER SISTERS!! :D

On Friday at around 4pm in my hall,

I can't believe i actually let what i don't want to happen happen?!

One of my blondest moments EVER & EVER. @#$%^&* See no evil.

:'D

With TINA, we had Desserts&DrawSomething session at Clementi~

Wahahha. You're cold and I'm hot yeah. Remember that :)

Then it was Dinner&Decoder's Cafe with Elaine, Seow Ting & Xue Wei!

Ohmy we shared so much - _ - The intuition of the girls can be so accurate.

Seriously la, even I myself couldn't believe it. Anyway, when it came to playing games..

at first we were rather gentle but towards the end we started to turn violent,

especially during UglyDolls! Hahahaha. I think Ohana will love this game!!

Thanks for caring by reading until here man. Happy weekend! <3

As promised :) Make the connection and perhaps you'll know why.

p.s. I wanna be like Winnie The Pooh.

知足才会幸福。

My recess week totally feels like a recess week! I'm so thankful for that.

*bounces up & down in the room* So the story goes like this.

Monday & Tuesday: Study Days!

Studied at the library alone and boy,

I miss the days when we used to study in the library on weekends without fail!

Wow. Just look at how much we're grown up and not apart. #withgratitude

Wednesday-Thursday: Green Club Chalet!

We had so much fun shopping for snacks at NTUC! Wheee~

I realise the people around me are always really thoughtful.

Initially, they wanted to dine at The Manhattan Fish Market

but when they heard Mad Jack Cafe serves vegetarian dishes,

they actually changed location. Dinner time, we ordered Pastamania!

It was really kind of Shi Ze to order vegetarian pizza just to share with me.

Aww.. I'm simply touched by these tiny little acts of kindness by my friends.

At night came YY! Pity they all left already..

But still thanks again for coming all the way to Pasir Ris man.

There we spent the last hour of leap year watching teevee

& taking silly pictures of ourselves wahaha. Speaking about leap year,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FELICIA'S MUMMY! She's so special.

I'm sure she feels really blessed to have daughters who constantly appreciates her.

<3

Thursday-Friday: NIEpeeps Chalet!

Where we dance dance & sang to our hearts' content

and had homemade dishes for dinner! Woohoo~ It was wonderful.

All the games and forfeits made everything memorable :'D

More importantly, I actually got to know some of my friends better.

Really appreciate these kinda in-depth communication. All the time!

Friday: The Boy Who Made My Day & Felicia's Birthday Celebration!

We went to Marina Square to have a simple dinner at Sakae

before catching a movie This Is War! Hahah.

After movie, we were like "OMG where to find cake?!"

Hahahha. Thankfully, MusicDreamer Cafe was opened :D

Felicia, your present is in the making & we're sure you will love it a lot,

like a lot. Wahahahaha :P Please anticipate it okay?

Hope you had a happy birthday Felfel! You're Ohana's sunshine.

Saturday: OHANA SUPPER CLUB SUCCESS!

Went to Decoder's Cafe and we played games such as

No Merci, Spot It and Pass The Bomb! I thought it was rather fun,

BUT not as fun as the crazy photo-taking session we had! Hahahha.

Seriously our jaws nearly dropped due to excessive laughter :'D

After that was supper near Beauty World! Wheeee~

Yay. i sat in the car Zirui was driving, for the first time!

Not bad ah, quite stable mah. Next time drive your family car to pick up Ohana!!

I guess we reached home at around 4pm? Ohmy.. We're so happening.

SUNDAY: REJUVENATION DAY! INSIDE OUT <3

And so, my recess week ended on a beautiful note.

where I experienced random acts of kindness from strangers

to the people I love. I think I'm really lucky!

Thank you for all-things-good that happened to me.

For those who are reading this,

have a happy week ahead! Love you la :)

Something to share from NIE Starlite 2012. Simply sweet!

On replay.

In love with this.

More Than Words.

"A man who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it, is committing another mistake."- Confucius

Sometimes, I really hate myself.

I always ask these questions:

Do I even have the right to do so? No.

Do I have to be so affected by what you say or do? No.

I do wish we can communicate clearly, perhaps our thoughts and feelings..

Please forgive me, for I can't differentiate what's true and what's not.

I'm not clever. I need you to help me to stop being so sensitive, really.

And then perhaps, we can be truly happy.

感情越深厚, 心就越难受 :'(

A Self-Reminder.

"How do I stop my negative thoughts?" - is a question that I have been asked many times. If you have ever asked this question then you will feel such enormous relief in knowing the answer, because it is so simple. How do you stop negative thoughts? You plant good thoughts!

When you try to stop negative thoughts, you are focusing on what you don't want - negative thoughts - and you will attract an abundance of them. They can never disappear if you are focused on them. The "stop" part is irrelevant - the negative thoughts are your focus. It doesn't matter if you are trying to stop negative thoughts or control them or push them away, the result is the same. Your focus is on negative thoughts, and by the law of attraction you are inviting more of them to you.

The truth is always simple and it is always easy. To stop negative thoughts, just plant good thoughts! Deliberately plant good thoughts! You plant good thoughts by making it a daily practice to appreciate all the things in your day. Appreciate your health, your car, your home, your family, your job, your friends, your surroundings, your meals, your pets, and the magnificent beauty of the day. Compliment, praise, and give thanks to all things. Every time you say "Thank you" it is a good thought! As you plant more and more good thoughts, the negative thoughts will be wiped out. Why? Because your focus is on good thoughts, and what you focus on you attract.

So don't give any attention to negative thoughts. Don't worry about them. If any come, make light of them, shrug them off, and let them be your reminder to deliberately think more good thoughts now.

The more good thoughts you can plant in a day, the faster your life will be utterly transformed into all good. If you spend only one day speaking of good things and saying "Thank you" at every single opportunity, you will not believe your tomorrow. Deliberately thinking good thoughts is exactly like planting seeds. As you think good thoughts you are planting good seeds inside you, and the Universe will transform those seeds into a garden of paradise. How will the garden of paradise appear? As your life!

May the joy be with you,


Rhonda Byrne

学会勇敢。

雨天。

回家途中，看到一团东西在地上。

我以为是蜗牛。仔细一看，原来是一只刚出生的小鸟！

每次只有在故事里出现的情节居然呈现在我眼前。

它应该是从鸟窝掉了出来。

顿时，心里涌出好多个“万一”。

“万一我拿回家后它死在我手里怎么办？”

“万一我把它的身体弄伤怎么办？”

“万一它的妈妈想找它怎么办？”

一切的“万一”都是借口，缺乏勇气的烂借口。

我犹豫了。有那么一刻，我想掉头走掉。

因为我怕。我害怕看到死亡。刹那间，当我踏出那第一步，要回家的第一步，

我感受到一股罪恶感，掐着我。我怎么可以这样走掉而不救那条小生命？

那一刻，我痛恨自己，怎么会这么自私？！

“万一它被人踩死怎么办？”

“万一它被猫吃掉怎么办？”

“万一它冷死怎么办？”

我赶快打给妹子，她不在家，在朋友家！

每次我感到无助的时候，总是有她在那里撑着，但现在却只是我一个人。

此刻我感受到什么叫彷徨。

蹲在那里观察这小鸟。它的嘴一会儿开，一会儿关，正在呼吸。

我多么害怕它一合上嘴，就永远不开了。

幸好，她的BFF住在我们家附近，她叫他赶过来。

他到后，我回家拿楼梯。回来时，我看到他赤手抱着小鸟。

我的天。他居然把它从地上抱了起来，还找来一个盒子和塑料袋，帮它取暖。

而我呢？遇到问题时，只会向人别人求救，自己又不思考当下可以做些什么。

想到这里，我好惭愧。

他黑黝黝的身躯，闪耀着人性的光辉。

他是多么勇敢多么自然多么善良。

谁会愿意冒着雨从家里跑来，为的就是救一只小鸟？

妹子："He's the greatest guy I've ever met."

我终于目睹妹子所说的一切，都是千真万确。

真希望他们能够在一起。一直到今天，彼此喜欢着，但却错过了。

我心中难免有点惋惜。我想爱真的需要好多好多勇气。

从这件事情中，我也看到了自己。

很多时候在日常生活里，心里明明是想要做某些事情。

但，总是因为自己少了一股勇气，少了一股力量，

害怕犯错，害怕别人的眼光，结果变得胆怯，频频退缩。

“万一”似乎代表着“三思而后行”。但如果我每次“万一这个万一那个”，

实际上我什么东西都不用做了。心，总是充满疑问与猜忌，是否会开心？

如果真心想要做，就算有1千个“万一”也阻挡不了我。

何不往心里缝上一线信心，一线肯定？至少我得试试看。

我想学会再勇敢一点。

原来我也是人。

I don't expect you to give me something in return.

But sometimes, all i ever wanted is to feel appreciated..

I think I'm a selfish person. Ohmy, can't believe I teared.

The One That Got Away.

So sad, yet so sweet.

我多么幸运。

在新的一年结束之前，

终于能够对自己坦诚。

因为你们的聆听，我的心轻盈许多。

这么多年来的感情包袱都卸了下来。

我的心增经因为这件事碎过，痛过。

但也就是因为这件事，我的心变得更加坚强。

不管风吹雨打，我想我都能够渡过它。

这些年来，我很庆幸有你们。一直都在。

包容我的脾气毛病，包容我的任性，包容我的不完美。

没有你们，我真的，真的不知道日子应该怎么过。

你知道吗？你们可算是我成长过程中的精神支柱。

我想对你们说声对不起，一直都没有勇气对你们坦白。

可是终于我鼓起了一辈子的勇气，把它说了出口。

我看到了你们为我流的泪。谢谢你们为我开心，也为我伤心。

希望我的故事能够让我们更懂得珍惜，更懂得感恩。

但由始至终，我相信一切还是你自己的选择。

不说别人，我要先来看看自己。我是否真正做到了？

抛开这过去，我向往着未来。

2012 年，我要努力做好自己的本分－

学生，女儿，姐姐，朋友。

我相信我可以的，你呢？

新的一年里，我希望我们能开开心心，

每天都能过得很充实，有意义。

不管遇到好的坏的，顺境或逆境，希望我们都能心存感激。

因为正是通过这些生活中的点点滴滴，我们才会学习，才会成长。

突破它，我们的人格才会有所升华。当然，说的比做的容易，我们就一起来学习吧！

这首歌献给我们的友谊。 这些日子因为你们，我很快乐 ：）真的。

里头的歌词正表达我现在的感受。请你用心聆听。谢谢你们的爱。
