"work like you don't need the money,love like u've never been hurt, and dance like you do when nobody is watching"
"it was a dance lesson choreographed by death, inspired by fear and watched by love"
between us lies a secret only both of us have the key to...

just so i dont insult anyone,what i'm blogging about has no reference to anyone or any incident.it's just stuff i've been thinking about for some time and i have been keeping it to myself because i'm not sure if people would get offended.so even if it sounds like a scenario u've been in,it's NOT u,because these things PROB take place everyday,everywhere or sth.oh,esp the sick n injured part(2nd part)i used 'she' doesnt mean anything ok...
i was just thinking..u know sometimes when we dislike a person because he/she has insulted u or sth.how would u react?would you act as if nothing is wrong?or would you openly ignore n dao that person?if u act like nothing is wrong,then friendship becomes superficial.u're basically just preserving urself,just to put up a facade for the world,such that gossip is prevented?but if u ignore n dao dat person,you are being true to urself and others but people may think you're just being petty n should not be so sensitive to every single thing.also from then on,they'd prob think twice about what they're going to say because sometimes,their words may have unintended impact.then friendship becomes awkward and restrained.sigh.
n when someone doesnt feel well or has an injury n there are a lot of people around n u r one of them,what do u do?esp when the injured or sick is ald surrounded by people helping her?if u go away,she may think u dun care about her,but if u stick around,it's so extra..n sometimes it feels weird to ask,"are u feeling ok" because obviously she isnt,dats why she is sick right?n u dunno if u shld ask her because so many people have ald asked her n she's prob sick of saying "i'm ok la" with which u'd prob say "rest more k" or "take care".
n pple who are reading this are prob thinking im thinking too much and they had better watch their words from now on cos i dwell deeply on it n stuff but dats not my intention at all.n now,im having second thoughts about this blog post but then again,this is a blog.it's where thoughts pour out.so pls dont be too judgemental if u read this.
i just realise this is all so solemn.i cant help it.i think im pmsing.but im thinking straight-dat i can assure you.mayb even better than before...

ok,according to SOMEONE,i haven updated in ages.haha.anw,here are the other three stories...the fourth one is not as nice as the others,but read on to the fifth one..
3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those who serve
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less,a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.
"How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked.
"Fifty cents," replied the waitress.
The little boy pulled is hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it.By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient.
"how much is the plain ice cream?" he asked.
"Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied.
The little boy again counted his coins.
"I'll have the plain ice cream," he said.
The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish,
were two nickels and five pennies.
You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.
4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our Path.
In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the
King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the
peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand!
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.
5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts...
Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had
miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister.
I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will save her." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did,seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded.
He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away?"
Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most importantly... "Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like you do when nobody's watching."

my fren forwarded this email to me which i thought was rather touching because it made me think about life.wow.sounds so philosophical.anw,it's a chain mail n i hate sending chain mail to others because i hate receiving them(lol) unless they are meaningful then i guess i wun mind but STILL,it's irritating.haha.i've been blabbering(as usual) but the main pt is,i've decided to put it here for u guys to read..haha.
ok,ok i admit =) also cos i currently dun hav anything to blog about.
Five (5) lessons to make you think about the way we treat people
1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.
During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one:
"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"
Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name?
I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade.
"Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers,you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "hello."
I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.
2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain
One night, at11:30 p.m., an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car hadbroken down and she desperately needed a ride.
Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car.
A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance, and put her into a taxicab.
She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached..
It read:
"Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along.Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed
away... God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others."
Sincerely,=20(i have no idea what in the world is this.haha)
Mrs. Nat King Cole.
ok,i'll just post 2 first.it's so long anw.haha

haha.today was truly a day where i laughed and cried.im so proud of my class.i really am.cos all of us have feelings,esp towards this class.it just goes to show if u make an effort to keep the class spirit burning,it will never die out=)
i was really having mixed feelings.at first when siyun came,she seemed all right.but it was kinda weird when she laughed then cried,then laughed again,then cried.it freaked me out.really.and wei wei was trying not to seem sad at first so we wouldnt be too affected.i was really touched that she did this,but tears just welled i guess...
i have never been very good at holding back tears.it just seems to come SO easily.which can be rather irritating at times,cos pple may think u r too sensitive and get scared of u or sth but now i really appreciate that cos im not the only one like that.haha.
our class has shared so much laughter and so many tears in a mere 2 months..
im glad we're gonna stay like this=)
