dim. e rit.

原来到最后，我最爱的还是平底鞋。

Indebted to you.

"We each owe someone a debt of gratitude so great, that we scarcely have the means to even estimate the value, let alone repay it." 

I'm willing to spend forever, just doing this, just doing this.

Why is BKK beautiful?

It was my first trip to BKK. Honestly speaking,
I wasn't keen at all, yes you heard it, not at all.
Why? Because I could totally foresee the entire trip to be dominated by
shopping, eating, shopping, eating. And nothing else.
But i still went because of my friends.

My heart craved for something more. I love to learn.
Admiring the works of Mother Nature,
learning about the country's history,
visiting iconic historic sites or museums~

But, I was wrong. Instead of learning from all those I've mentioned above,
I have learnt so much, so much from my fellow friends.
They became my beautiful scenery of the trip.

Brandon, the selfless one who'd volunteer to carry every single thing for fear that it'd be too heavy for us to carry. The one who'd settle so many things for us silently. 对不起，害你背酸了。谢谢你！(:

Billy, the amazing one who'd tell me about so many things about the world that i never knew. The one who also always volunteered his physical strength to help all of us lighten our load. Thanks bro! (:

Elaine, the meticulous one who'd care about the well-being of everyone, and sometimes even neglecting her own. You know, before everyone returned to their seats, she'll make sure the food that was being shared is being divided equally, utensils are set properly so that everyone could start eating in ease when they returned. 你真的真的很细心。谢谢你！(:

Yuyuan, the caring one who'd offer hand cream to us so that they get moisturized in the scorching weather there. The one who exchanged position in the taxi with me so that we can both get some rest despite the squeezy conditions in there. 对不起啊，害你脚麻⋯⋯谢谢你！(:

Zimin, the thoughtful one who actually bought apples for everyone to eat in order for us to keep healthy during the trip. 吃在口，甜在心。 谢谢你！WE LOVE MANGO STICKY RICE (:

Happy highlights:
Yy and Brandon's birthday surprises, our unconventional birthday cakes,
Chocolate banana egg tarts, "Why is it raining?", "Holiday HECK LA!",
Luring Brandon away in Chatuchak, MANGO STICKY RICE, Tao Kae Noi Craze,
Sama Slippers Day, Sama Shirt Day, watching Nat Geo every night LOL.

To end off, you don't know how grateful am i when all of you were willing to search the menus for vegetarian food even when i said you guys can just go ahead. Truly touched by all your acts of kindness man :') Thanks.

Our first.

Our last.

And so, BKK is beautiful because of all of you. 

THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU (: 

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.

《给妈妈一个吻》

母爱是世界上最温和、最无私、最持久的爱。相对父爱的深沉，母爱显得更壮烈。为了你，她要经历十月怀胎的艰辛和分娩阵痛的痛苦。你出生以后，她还要十几年如一日的养育你，而且毫无怨言。

在母亲的身边，你觉得哭泣是天经地义的。你的母亲也许会微笑调侃你，也许会轻轻地安抚你，也许会陪你流眼泪⋯⋯不管她是如何表现的，她的爱总是柔暖、温馨。你在妈妈地长大，母亲却在漫漫衰老。你不在对她的唠叨不屑一顾，也不会再在日记里一次次嘲笑她的多事。每当你看见她头上的白发正在一根根地增多，你的心就隐隐作痛。

逐渐老去的母亲，却仍然挂念着你，她的爱随着你的成长漫漫增加。这是关于丽莎的一个小故事，她已经是两个孩子的母亲，直到现在，她才深刻体会到母爱的温暖、宽容。在她心中，一直隐藏着一件事 ⋯⋯


每一天晚上，母亲都会为我铺床，即使我已经不再是小孩。接下来，是他永恒不变的习惯：将我的头发拔开，然后亲吻我的额头。

我不记得从什么时候开始感到厌恶——她拔开我的头发的方式。她那双因为工作而变粗糙的手触碰我皮肤的感觉，真的让我感到厌恶，最后，一天晚上，我对她大声叫：“不要再碰我！你的手好粗糙！” 她没说任何话，但是从此以后，我的母亲再也没有用我熟悉的那种方式，结束我的一天。此后，我躺在床上，久久不能入睡，那些话萦绕着我的心。但是，骄傲取代我的良心，我从来没有向她道歉。

随着光阴逝去，我的思绪一次又一次回到那个晚上。有时候，这件事就像是刚发生，有时候却又像是很久以前的事情。但是，它总是在那里，萦绕着我的心。

很多年过去了。我再也不是小女孩。母亲现在已经七十几岁，她是我们的医生，她会在药箱里找药 ，为外孙女治疗胃病，或是为外孙跌倒的膝盖敷药。她会洗掉牛仔裤上的污渍，做世界上最好吃的炸鸡，无论白天还是晚上，总是坚持亲自下厨，准备饭菜。

多年以来，我母亲的手，完成无数的劳苦工作。

现在，我的孩子都已经长大，没有住在家里。在一个特别的节日，我跟母亲共度一个晚上。

那是感恩节的一天晚上，很晚的时候，我在小时候住的房间里睡着了，一双熟悉的手拂过我的脸，拔开我额头上的头发，然后，一个非常轻柔的吻，触到我的眉梢。

我回想那个晚上的抱怨已经几千、几万次。我握着母亲的双手，也轻轻地在她的额头上吻了一下，并为那天晚上的行为向她道歉。我以为她会记得，就像我一样，但是母亲不知道我在说什么。原来，在很久以前，她就已经忘了——而且，她已经原谅了。

为你有一个伟大的母亲而感到庆幸吧！无论有多忙，都不要忘记经常回家看看母亲。你要像小时候一样，不时的吻她，让她知道：她永远是你最爱的人。


你能听见妈妈的心声吗？



:')

It's been a long time we've did this.
For that, I am happy (:
