Life Is What We Make It
by Edgar A. Guest

Life is a jest;
Take the delight of it.
Laughter is best;
Sing through the night of it.
Swiftly the tear
And the hurt and the ache of it
Find us down here;
Life must be what we make of it.

Life is a song;
Dance to the thrill of it.
Grief's hours are long,
And cold is the chill of it.
Joy is man's need;
Let us smile for the sake of it.
This be our creed:
Life must be what we make of it.

Life is a soul;
The virtue and vice of it,
Strife for a goal,
And man's strength is the price of it.
Your life and mine,
The bare bread and the cake of it
End in this line:
Life must be what we make of it.

It's funny how a sad event can lead you to be more appreciative regarding the little things in life . Simple insignificant gestures that you used to take for granted can bring tears to your eyes thinking about it . People often say the phrase "live like you're dying" , but another nicer phrase would be "appreciate things/others like they wont exist again tomorrow" . Because in life , if you live as if youre going to die tomorrow , i think most of us would just do crazy stuff and enjoy ourselves . But if we live as if the things that we tend to take for granted , or the people close to us , are not gonna be there tomorrow , how much more meaningful would our lives be , and how much more we will not regret when the time comes ? I read an old blog of mine recently , a blog i started when i had just entered my rebellious early teen years . The "profound" language I used were "amazing" . How I critisized the world for being so terrible to me , how i sounded so pitiful when I posted emotional poems , one after another showing the world how pathetically psychotic i was .

I basically hated the world for throwing its obstacles at me . Now I can only appreciate the beauty that God has provided for us in the world . Because albeit all the trials and sufferings that are found in every corner - every page of newspapers , there is still beauty in the world . Instead of complaining and dwelling only in the darkness the world or all its inhabitants can offer , would'nt it be better for us to appreciate life's little blessings and turning them into blessings for others ? If I were to tell you I am 100% satisfied/happy with my life , I will be the most dishonest person in the world . But I can definitely say I am not dwelling on the tribulations that i have encountered / am encountering , either . I have learnt to hope that every obstacle will turn into a testimony , and that every step I take brings me closer to being a better person .

I'd like to apologise to every bit of hurt I've inflicted on anyone for the past years , and plead for a chance to improve on myself . =)

MONDAY

Had classes as usual , then mr joel was nice enough to pick me up and drive me to ss2 for chilli pan meee ! =P Mr joel eats much less than me , and I had to force him to eat wantons =(

He made me feel like a pig lah , seriously .

TUESDAY

It was green day/Ann's birthday ! The whole class turned up in green (cept for jeremiah the globule) We blindfolded her and made her circle the campus whilst waiting for keng yee and naomi to buy whipped cream etc. It was a really fun bonding time I guess , and I'm really glad i got into group C =)

WEDNESDAY

8 Hours of continuous class mannnnn . =( But my day was really brightened up by joel , awwwwwww =) He drove all the way to help (20 mins drive) even though he had no classes that day , just to hand me a cup of starbucks java chip that he got on the way =/ Hahahaha girls anyone interested ? =P

THURSDAY

Classes are really fun lah , lecturers at HELP are just plain awesome :D

FRIDAY

Had CF after biology class , mr Ronnie is just awesome what can i say =) Then went to san francisco for spaghetti/drinks with the flamingo , i miss her soooooooo much ! Talked about stuff then headed for futsal with some CF people =) Met new people , and although vania and i were just basically circling the court , we had a lot of fun =) PENGUIN came back from uniten , so we went to tropicana city with joel to watch LEGION after that . I was happy i finally got the meaning , but I would've preferred toothe fairy lahhh .

TODAY

Woke up early in the morning (9.30 is early for me on a saturday) headed to jalan telawi to do some CNY shopping ! Didn't shop much , but I'll count my blessings lah =) Mommy was a gem to walk up down up down without complaining - much . =) FINALLY bought the vintage brown structured bag i have been having my eyes on lately , and this had a little floral print in front ! Got a ring , skirt , the bag and two dresses for only 250 ! =) mommy must be proud of me . Headed to bangsar village for a drink in the chocolate lounge , super chun man american express can have 50% off , plus buy two drinks free one !

AND IM TELLING YOU , THE MISS COCO CHOCOLATE BLENDED - HEAVEN ! :)

Came home , changed , and went for reunion dinner (moms side) . I drank 3 bowls of sharks fin soup , few pieces of suckling pig , 5 big prawns , fish , 2 bowls of longan dessert , half a spring chicken , lo mai fan with taiwanese sausages and 10 cups of chinese tea . How not to get fat tell me ? hahahahha .
