Do you seriously think that it’s gonna work out?
I’m shocked, to say the very least.
I just received a news from two of my secondary school friends in regards to a matter and I’m at a loss for words- that don’t happen very often, mind you. I can’t even begin to fathom how he ever came to this decision: Is he going to be happy afterwards? Is it going to be worth it? These are just some of the questions that popped into my mind after the wave of shock has tide over.
Friends and Lover, which one is more important? And how do you define “important”? When one party forced asked you to make a decision, how do you go about doing it? How are you sure that the decision you’re gonna make is the correct one; one that you won’t regret? Is there even a right or wrong to this? Heck, do you think it’s even right when somebody asked you to stop contacting someone because of some reasons (which I won’t mention here)? Do you think that by adhereing to the other party’s wishes everything is going to work out?
Is this how you want your relationship to be build on? On insecurities, doubts and lack of fairness?
Some of us love to avoid conflicts; thus they accept whatever that’s thrown in their way and just suck it all up irregardless of how ridiculous it is. They fail to see the bigger picture and the reason. What they see is just the present, Ok, accept it, dont quarrel. Come what may. Bullshit, I say.
Relationships will only work out with effort and hard work put in by BOTH parties. By fairness (don’t give me crap like, oh love is never fair. then try to make it fair, honey!) , trust and genuine care&love for each other, then it’s gonna work out. There’s no easy way to it. Got a problem? Solve it- don’t use short term solutions. Crack your brains, pull out your hair, scream at each other, but eventually there will be that one solution that’s gonna solve your problem once and for all. If it still comes back, then try another! Falling back into the comfort zone by avoiding conflicts isn’t going to help.
To chose your bff whom you’ve known for 7 yrs over a lover for 2 yrs, that’s unfair. That’s harsh. I’m not a psychic, but I’m sure there will be this one fine day you’re going to regret this decision. Perhaps, you already are.
Useless Superpowers
It’s great to be part of Heroes or the Marvel gang, saving Earth from major catastrophe or people from a burning building. Doesn’t hurt that you get to kiss pretty ladies while hanging upside down too.
But ever wonder what if you’re stuck with such shitty powers?
HA HA HA!
This literally made me LOL.
Just for laughs. 
Have a good weekend people.
怨天尤人
There’re some people in this world who don’t try hard enough in whatever that they do, giving what I called half-assed efforts, and then blaming everyone in the whole wide world but themselves when the outcome is not the rosy one they expected.
I think: Blame no one but yourself honey. You should know better that you will reap what you sow. You want better results in whatever the hell you’re doing? Then give in your 101%, and make sure it’s the very best you can offer.
There’re some people in this world who will be happy and contented enough to mix with the same group of “friends”, “friends” who’re still stuck in their yesteryears glory; i.e I don’t know.. picking up a fight with a person and winning it? You know, stupid egoistic stuff like that, and thus, they’re unable to so call break free of the bad vibes and whatever shit.
I think: Move on. It’s your own choice. Stop giving excuses if you yourself don’t wish to instill some positive changes in your life.
“hey, you reaching soon?”
I don’t know about you, but when it comes to meeting my friends or basically just anyone, I’ll make sure that I’ll send an update to the person if I’m making him/her wait. I will send a super long sms at the start to apologise, to explain why I’m going to be late and every now and then, I’ll just drop another sms to let the person have a rough idea on how long more they have to wait.
Example,
“Boarding the train now, give me 15 more mins!”
“Just alight! Walking asfastaspossible. Give me another 3mins!”
I’m totally the kind that will just keep dropping updates even though they never asked for it, because I feel that’s basic courtesy, like hello, late already leh, still must let the people chase you for updates meh? Very rude right? But apparently it’s not the case for most people. I don’t know man, if I’m the one waiting, most of the time I have to send sms to them to chase them for the updates. Asking where they are, are they reaching soon? Because most of the time, they will not arrive within the time frame they’ve given.
“Give me another 15 minutes.”
And half an hour later, still no sign of them. Super sickening, no?
Manners
It irks me to the core when I encounter rude and irritating people. But then again, I am easily irritated BUT, I think in the present society, good manners is indeed lacking in many people, esp in the younger generation. And imagine the younger generation became parents? What will happen to the kids? *shudders*
Anyway, I’ve seen too many kids taking a lot of things for granted; no thank yous when you help them with something and demanding you to do things for them. One fine example is throwing rubbish for them. I’m sure some of you may encounter this in classroom also.
Other behaviour that irks me.
1. Not giving up seats for the fragile old people.
2. Thinking that it’s only right that people must give them things or treats or favors. Eg, asking people for treats (note: I know that people joke about this, everyone does. I do as well. But I think some people say it because they really mean it you know? Cause they just kept on harping on it.) Or, when people come back from overseas, first thing they do is to ask for presents. Hello, people owe you one huh?
3. I think point 2 boils down to just people taking things for granted, so yes, I think that behaviour is particularly irksome as well. Please remember, people don’t have to treat you in a nice manner, don’t take things for granted.
4. Not saying thank you.
5. Being demanding; don’t know how to ask properly? I’ve seen kids yelling and screaming at their maids for being “slow” , “stupid” etc. I’m serious. And lagi best, the parents are there and they do nothing about it.
6. Laughing at the less fortunate. Karma people, K A R M A.
Ok, I’m going to end this post adruptly here. Ta.
Glee!
I’ve just finished watching Glee Season 1 yesterday night with Joey and am now suffering some withdrawal symptoms.
=_=
Innocence
I stepped out of the toilet, all clad in my gym uniform and walked towards the classroom, intending to get ready for my gymkidz class later on. I walked past my boys and was a few steps ahead of them.
I turned around, greeted the kids, when someone at the bottom far left corner caught my eye.
I looked down, and with his dark wavy cropped hair, mesmerizing eyes and cute button nose, he’s perfect.. if let’s say I am 17 years younger. HAHA! He asked me a question, which I didn’t catch and I bend down so I can catch his question this time round when he asked.
And in the most gentle voice ever,
“Aunty W, can I smell you?”
Now now now, I know what you’re thinking, you must be thinking what sort of a question or request is that?! BUT! This is a 5 year old boy we’re talking about here, it’s really something that he just wish to do and he is really just popping a really innocent question; he wants my permission.
Me: “Okay… but why?”
“Cause you smell very nice..”
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Someone noticed my bodymist huh. Cute much?! The joy of working with kids, something you will grow to love once you’ve experienced it.
Somewhere up there, they use PS too.
Sunset at Koh Phi Phi’s Summit View Point.
It’s so picture purrrfect that Joey mentioned, whoever is up there is using Photoshop to create many different layers, playing with the gradient and colours to come up with this absolutely breathtaking gorgeous view.
And I have to agree on that.
Mother Nature at its best, I say.
Now tell me, you aren’t falling in love with it already?
ps: it’s totally worth the 20mins steep climb up and back down, but just don’t go down after the sun sets (which we did, scary shit!) because the climb down is really pitch dark, with uneven steps, roots poking under the concrete path, holes at unpredictable places, not exactly the most enjoyable workout I’ve had.
Munchkins
Banana Nutella Crepe.
This is like one helluva of a snack. The vendors are absolutely generous with the serving- 1 whole banana sliced into strips then added into the inside of the crepe. When it’s done, 1 huge dollop of nutella will be spreaded out evenly on top of the surface area, covering every inch of it.
End result?
Warm and mushy fruits kiap in between piping hot crisp crepe soaked with chocolate. Life couldn’t be any better.
Do you know where can I find this in Singapore?!?!?!
Too much Ben 10
So.. I was doing some exercise with my older age group today and I appointed J as my assistant leader. I can’t leave him amongst his friends, he will either disturb his friends, disturb his friends or disturb his friends. So yeap, I tried using this method before and it was quite useful, he isn’t a naughty kid or whatever, he’s just a very intelligent boy and is always constantly on the move, be it his mouth or his limbs.
So the class was rowdy halfway so I just looked at him and said,
“Hey assistant leader! Look at your friends. How am I supposed to continue on with my class?”
And do you know what he did? He walked in front to one of his friend who is the nearest to him, and one of the loudest noise generator and went,
“Keep quiet. You want me to torture you?”
O_O”
WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I STUNNED OKAY.
He then walked over to another boy and said,
“Keep quiet! You want me to slice you into half? *inserts slicing action*”
Thereafter I stopped him, said the necessary things (that’s not the right thing to say etcetcetc) and proceed on with my class. I have to admit, the way he said it was actually very funny, but NO! the things he’s saying is too violent for a kid at his age!
See? Let your kids watch more of the violent cartoons la.
Heartache
It’s been quite some time since I last experienced a really intense heartache. Those kind that really saddens you with the thought of it and if you do think more about it, you will feel like you’re about to cry. And sadly, I was reminded of the feeling yesterday at work, when I get to know that one of my fav boy in the class isn’t going to continue on with gym anymore, whats worse, he will be transferring school! So I can’t even get to see him in the centre anymore! 
Imagine when he walked into the classroom as per normal with his friends, like what he had done for the past 1 year, and I have to actually tell him that he is no longer in gym class? Awwwwww. He turned his huge eyes at me and was quiet for a while before saying “Ok..”
The class is always filled with laughter because of him, he is like our laughing bean.
I mean, I practically watch him grow from this timid lil boy who refused to do a forward roll, and even learnt how to hide behind my gym equipments and poked his head out and negotiate with us, “I d-d-d-don’t want do r-r-roll..” till able to execute a roll on his own so confidently. Awwww.
When I asked for a goodbye hug from him, he hugged me, with his small hands on my arms, and was very quiet. I held on a little bit longer than usual and he allowed me to.
Awww, JL, Aunty W is going to miss you. Very, very, very much.
In, Out
I am back!
This is me in Ao Nang, Krabi. Otw to the hustle and bustle of the main road to get our late breakfast. We missed the free breakfast time.. so yeah. I rmb we had phad thai, grilled chicken and a banana nutella pancake from those motorbikes carts. Sinful but its like magic for my tummy.
I really miss the times there.
And we’re planning to go back there someday- not so soon la.
Will be back with more detailed posts if I am free. But considering Hong Kong, Macau, Langkawi posts are so back logged, I think very slim chance la huh. Haha!
Bye.
They can be the same too.
There are many successful people out there. But honestly, I bet more than 90% of them are successful because of their good/comfortable family background, therefore giving them the many opportunities other people fought so hard for their lifes for, and still not getting it.
When you’re up there, armed with riches and degrees or masters or whats not, don’t talk with your nose pointing up to the ceiling. What makes you think that given the same opportunity and privilege, they won’t be as good as you? Or even better than you?
Go think about it.
