Anyway

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

couch potato...

i am a couch potato...

think my fave past time has evolved fr writing my diary to slumping down on my sofa, snacking while watching dvds ( i've a huge dvd collection thanx to my didi)...it's e lazy bug!...

one of e movies dat left a realli deep impression on me was Hotel Rwanda...watched it before I went to Stockholm..[my didi realli makes rather good recommendations cos he told me this movie is a "must-watch"...] it's a movie which depicts love, frenship, courage, survival, humanity...wat can i say?...some movies realli leave such a strong impact on u, and u can't help feeling overwhelmed by e message that was sent across within e span of a short 2 hrs...

another 5 popocorns for Crash...i realize i alwiz feel very strongly towards issues regarding racism...[perhaps it's becos of e book To Kill A Mockingbird tat we had to read in Sec 1/2...and i have even watched e movie To Kill A Mockingbird before...it's in my didi's dvd collection too...]

and in Stockholm, i was moved by e movie Patch Adams...realli like Robbin Williams....e first movie i watched in a cinema was Jack, in which Robbin Williams acted as an adult with a child-like mentality...rem i was in Primary 6, and i was so touched by e show dat i cried in e cinema together with my pri sch frens... of cos, who can forget his heartwarming movie, Mrs Doubtfire? think i have watched it more than 30 times, no kidding...

n recently last week, i watched The Island with my didi...sent me thinking abt how scary Man is...still remember learning about cloning in my Genes and Society + General Bio modules [so i did learn something useful in uni]...sometimes i realli wonder where's e boundary between science and Man trying to play God...

dis saturday afternoon, i watched Shawshank Redemption w Melon...[another excellent recommendation by my didi yet again; he shud realli be a movie reviewer...] e twists and turns resembled Catch me if u can [my all time favourite], but what was truly moving was e relationships e inmates had with each other...i was overwhelmed w sadness at e Brooks part...it was one of e few times i felt like i realli wanted to cry, but i couldn't...

one meaningful thing i learnt from Shawshank Redemption:
Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.

thanx to my swollen left cheek

had a row with my mum last friday....over a small small incident....a cab ride which cost $14.50...which resulted in a cold war till now...

i suspect i got my stubborn genes fr her...i will alwiz be realli upset & angry whenever i get scolded (usually for e smallest things...) and it's hard to say i'm sorry, even though i know dat it's my fault...i will feel sorry, but to say sorry?...my mum once told me dat's e way she is to, esp when my grandma reprimands her...she saes dis stubborn streak runs in her family too, her own mum, her sisters...

but finally, she spoke to me just now, breaking one week's of silence...she asked me whether i wanted century egg porridge for breakfast, and in e end I settled for tauhuay...

so perhaps my swollen left cheek did e trick. =)

wisdom tooth extraction part 2

wanted to post a pic of my 2 wisdom teeth tat were extracted yesterdae but decided not to...haha...was in giggles when i showed my dad e teeth and he gave me a scared look +commented dat it must have been painful....lol...

dis time round, e extraction realli hurts a lot more...my left cheek's so swollen dat my face is tilted to e left... yesterday afternoon, my left cheek felt like it had a gaping hole...but still, i kept telling myself e pain is BEARABLE....i wrote e word "Endurance" in my diary...and at dat moment, my dad came in with e post, and handed me e devotional "My Journey" dat Kelly told me to subscribe to...e first page I flipped to was a verse from e bible...it read, " More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope"...amazing rite...

so i endured...without eating any more painkillers...and watched 5+hrs of tv to distract myself fr e pain...i was eating bread dipped in milo, porridge, all soft food...was realli so hungry...

ended off e nite in giggles again...cos was trying to tell melon dat "my mouth is very painful" over e phone, and i repeated it so many times, but he still couldn't understand wat i was trying to say...so he told me to sms him?! hahaha

today my left cheek is even more swollen...faint*
