*Celebrate Life as it is* 4.11am

why am i up so late? cuz todae i din went trekking. becuz of my own stupidity which i dun wan to mention le. so i ended up slping til late afternoon. so here i am again.

National Day Parade was alrite. not realli spectacular. sadds tt i cant go n see the fireworks. the last time i saw fireworks was during the new year. Nvms. 2008 is coming. :]

yahhs. received calls frm some frens todae. happy :]

very long since i last preached rites. todae will be the day. hehes

i just had lotsa time to myself just now. to tink.

many a time. ppl often only noticed the bads. seldom do ppl celebrate the little goods in their life. do ppl celebrate that they r able to wake up every morning to a brand new day? nopes. do ppl celebrate the food that fill their stomach everyday? nopes. do ppl celebrate the peace in their country? once again, nopes. only when ppl have no food to eat, n when war strikes, will we moan n groan on hw unlucky we are. humans, we dont count little blessings. we r too accustomed to the little goods that r happening to us everyday to take notice of them. the next time u tink that u r having a bad day, tink of the other 364 good days. :]

i once read a quote n tot tt being a pessimist aint tt bad:
the thing about being pessimistic is, you are either always proven right, or pleasantly surprised.

i like the quote above. it is juz tt being right isnt always a good thing. :]

also i have come to notice, humans tend to live in the present. an eg. A boy was very good-looking n popular when he was 18. he thought that he cld do anything. had an arguement with this fren. so wat? he still have lotsa other frens. broke up with this gf, so wat? he was sure he cld get another one in a short time. @ tt point in time, he thought he will be young n handsome forever. soon when age caught up with him, frens left n with no girls surrounding him anymore. did he began to rmb tt bespectacled, buck-toothed girl who sat in a corner, always stealing glances @ him in class.

not pin-pointing at guys. the eg goes vice versa. A girl was very pretty and popular when da da da da da... get the idea? if only we can see the whole big picture of wat our life wld be. hw will we live when we are 30? will we still be on Earth when we reach 40? maybe then, we wld not do some of the things tt we had done. we wldnt have behaved the way we did. but we cldnt cld we? we can only pray that the person we bullied back in primary school will not be our future boss.

ppl come n ppl go. u nvr noe whose turn is up next. my fren was telling me about how her mother was terribly ill n finally passed away. i was crying harder than her when she finished talking. the sad fact about life is, u have to accept bad things whether u like it or not. quoted frm The 5 People You Meet in Heaven, "Life has to end, but love doesn't".

once a person told me this: "the pain did not left me, i just got used to it." the pain here refers to emotional hurt. if it was a few years back, i wld have agreed. but nw i dont. i feel that once u r able to overcome urself, once u can let it go, u r healed.

If u tink u can forgive, but not forget. think again. wld all this really matter to you 10 years dwn the road? by tt time, you wun even be able to rmb the hurt u r feeling now. but also, by then, it may be too late to make up for anything tt u neglected nw. the person might nt be there anymore.

humans, we r bless with the 5 senses, logical thinking, emotions and feelings. make full use of them. :]
