You're beautiful.

Last Friday, I volunteered to help in bringing BRPS students to NTPS!!
NTPS was where I did my contract teaching for 1.5 years,
where much of my fondest teaching memories linger.
I miss the people, I miss my students. How could i not go you tell me?! (:

After 3 years, I set foot on the familiar school compound and i saw many familiar faces around.
Heart smiled. But alas, few students recognized me, but i felt it was okay.
One girl even commented that I went for plastic surgery >_<
Tapped on a student and he turned around,
the first reaction he had was "Ehh? Hello." in a calm tone with a surprised look on his face.
Martin was the first student who could actually recognize me. I was so happy.

I have a soft spot for this student particularly. Once during Meet-The-Parents session,
I got to know that his mother has passed away due to cancer. He was only Primary 2.
I teared, for i know there will always be an eternal empty space in his life that will never be filled up.
Has he ever experienced love from his mother?
Those delicious home-cooked dishes, those never-ending nagging,
those hugs & kisses. A mother's list of love goes on forever...

He wanted my number, because he said he lost it 3 years ago.
He didn't have a pen and that his handphone was going flat.
So he thought of an idea. Later he will buy a pen and I will write on his arm.
And so I did. I was so touched by him.

Before I left, managed to snap of photo of us WHEEE!! (:
Though it was blurry, I'm really really happy.
Martin, thanks for remembering me.
I'm so heartened that you've found your passion- Soccer.
Can't wait to see you shine in life next time.

Last Saturday, went for an audition together with Yy!
Zirui went too, even though he did not take part.
His presence was a moral pillar for the both us.
A tangible one. I didn't feel nervous anymore.

Even though we may not get in,
I'm still grateful that the we went through it.
We'll get more and more confident with experience!

Singing will be always be my passion.
I will always remember last Friday and Saturday.
Thanks Yy and Zhangzirui!! (:

不抱怨的世界。

你是个爱抱怨的人吗？
最长对何事产生抱怨？

抱怨的坏处：
1）变得十分弱势 （无能为力）
2）放弃自我成长 （不愿负责）
3）永远无法变强 （降低能力）
4）产生消极思维 （极度悲观）
5）破坏人际关系 （让人反感）
6）成为悲剧人物 （心想事成）
7）吸引抱怨的人  （效果放大）

“生命像一把盐。该承受多少痛苦，这些盐不多不少。
人总是抱怨，痛苦太多，快乐太少。
可是抱怨时，忽略自己的选择。
你可选择将盐放入装水的杯子。
你可选择将盐放入湖泊。
这些盐在湖泊中稀释，
还会令人难受吗？”


从今天开始，养成正向思考、积极行动的［勤感恩］习惯，让幸福快乐长相左右！(:

杯子或是湖泊，由你自己选择。

To forgive is to be forgiven.

"Rather get hurt in loving, than to have never loved at all." 

懂得原谅别人的人，才是真正懂得爱自己的人。

坦诚相对的心愿，今天终于实现.. (: 

真的好开心，你让我看清自己。

感谢生命中有你 ❤

Mesto.

Ouch, but only for a while.

Sometimes I can't help but feel that our friendship is a joke. And a big one LOL >_<

But then, i manage to confirm one thing, 

it's words of affirmation. Anyone? Haha.

:)

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。
