GivesMeHope
A long time ago, I was on the verge of committing suicide when a guy came to the roof to have lunch. He saw me climbing over the railing and asked me to share his lunch with him. After receiving my puzzled look, he explained, "everyone should die happy. or at least with a full stomach." We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary last month. GMH.
I was recently working at a nursery school where I saw a 3 year old girl wearing tights on her head. One of my colleagues told me it was because some of the children had been making fun of her bald head. She had had chemotherapy. I later saw one young boy of about 4 go over to her, tell her she was beautiful and remove the tights. GMH
I'm 16 and am about to have a baby. I work a minimum wage job with about 15 other people who are just barely making it. My boss told me that me being pregnant was making him look bad and that I need to quit. I did. So did everyone else working there.
I was sitting on the bench outside of work one day trying to fix my make up. An elderly man walked passed me with his groceries heading towards his car in the huge Walmart parking lot. He then returned back a minute or so later to tell me "you're beautiful without all that stuff, and you don't need it." Groceries still in hand. GMH
awesome.

lixin! haha, youre like the dad in our group, always dishing out your theories on women and men issues, nagging at us about going home late, giving advice about every single thing, listening to us rant. ohhhhh, will miss you when you go to botak camp. no more refreshments after cg, no more free cab rides home, no one to rant to. HAHHA, but more than just that, i'll have one less to have intellectual debates with, one less to laugh with, one less to fight with. thank you for everything today and have fun! (:
jonah nah nah. it amazes me still how we've known each other for almost 4 years yet we've only been close this year. even though i know how you dont mean it when you call me hot babe, but it still makes me happy nevertheless. and no, i do not wanna be cute. heeeee, but i still wanna thank you for being a part of my life with your cheeky smiles and crazy impersonations of me. though i may always smack you, you know i dont mean it! HAHAHHAHAHA, okay, maybe sometimes i do. BUT youre an awesomeeeee friend i really treasure! (:
chinssssss! stop bugging me to blog faster. these are my heartfelt thoughts okay. and thank you for sacrificing your image to be my present (though a Chanel might be better). hahah, i do not like how you always call me hot pig, but that may be a smokescreen to disguise your great appreciation of my beauty. i know that deep down, you think i'm cute but i'm sorry i have to reject your kindness. anyways, youve been one great friend and i do treasure our times together! (:
jedi! my bridge and studying partner. i tell you, we are the ultimate contract bridge partners. brain text do work! and though you constantly make fun of me, i shall be magnanimous to forgive you. thank you for sharing your food during study sessions and bringing your card for our bridge. heeeee, i do hope we keep our bridge sessions. and yes, thank you for making my day such an awesome one. i must say, i am touched, from the bottomest of my heart.
and yes, though i may not say it, i love all of you and really appreciate all the effort. this cancels out all the teasing youve ever done. (((((:

At this moment, there are 6 billion people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just facing the truth. Some are evil men at war with good. Some are good struggling with evil. Six billion people, six billion souls and sometimes,

I hate the way you talk to me.
And the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car.
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots.
And the way your read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick -
It even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right.
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh -
Even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it that you're not around.
And the fact that you didnt call.
But mostly I hate the way I dont hate you -
Not even close
Not even a little bit
Not even at all.

my mum is a perfectionist. to her, if you wanna do smth, you have to do it to the best of your ability. she always expects nothing less than the best from me and my siblings. many times when she admonishes me, i argue back silently in my heart knowing it is not right. most of the worst scoldings ive endured through came from my mum. yet i know at the bottomest of her heart, nothing pains her more than to not see me mature. and as today is mother's day, i remember the many special daughter-mom moments that made my life seem complete.
the times she used to bring my brothers and i to her office to play when we were little while she worked through the night. the times she brought us on our annual christmas shopping. the times she would hold our tiny hands and walked through orchard road to see the pretty christmas lights. the time my little pet hamster died and she told me it went to heaven and now God will look after it. the times when we had such severe asthma we had to be admitted to the hospital and she kept vigil by our bedside. the times when she, as the sole breadwinner of our family, had to make painful decisions between us and work. the times she would worry when i came home late even when i am turnng 19. the times she would sleep at the office so i could rush my project. the times she would say 'NO!' but relent at the end.
it must have been tough on her raising 3 kids single-handedly, juggling work and family, playing the role of mum and dad. she's not superwoman, but simply a loving mother and my greatest friend on earth.
