"What we should compare, however,
is not ourselves against others.
We should compare who we are TODAY
against who we were yesterday,
who we are TODAY against
who we will be tomorrow."

Back to LYSS for SGC

Today, we had our last MYE paper - H1 Chinese Listening Comprehension. It lasted for 35 minutes. Hence we were released at 8.35am! =D I doubt that we will be free from next week onwards with all the lectures, tutorials, assignments, Project Work, CCA, college events and stuffs like that going on and on. Thus, Yan Fen, Priscilla, Clarence and I went back to LYSS to retrieve our School Graduation Certificate after our last paper this morning. (:

After that, we walked around the school, recalling our good old days, and had our lunch in the school canteen. New Principal, another new Vice-Principal, new school system, new teachers, new tables and benches for the canteen, and General Office is under renovation.

Also, we mananged to say "Hi" and give a smile to whomever we met, be it teachers, Discipline Master/Mistress, school staff, canteen vendors, security guards, and even school cleaners! Ms Tok, Mr Han, Mrs Oon, Mr Nathan, Mr Heng, Mr Koh, Mr Wee, Mr Mohammad, Mrs Chew and etc etc etc. Met with Germaine Guo, Amanda, and my LYSGuzheng juniors. I feel so happy and excited to see them once again. (: HUGS!

Mr Han, the Genius, explained to us how we should score in our studies especially General Paper. Mr Mohammad and Mr Koh are still as humorous as before. Both of them never fail to bring joy and laughters to us. And hah, I managed to learn bit of Graphing Techniques from Mr Koh, he even drew out the graphs! Much thanks, really.

Thereafter, Clarence and Priscilla left, Yan Fen and I stayed till around 2pm or so. All in all, though people and some of the things may have changed, yet we had a great and enjoyable trip in LYSS today. (:

Cheerios! :DD

Guidance June 24

"FLINT HAS the potential to produce fire,
and gems have intrinsic value.
We ordinary people can see neither
our own eyelashes, which are so close,
nor the heavens in the distance.
Likewise, we do not see that the
Buddha exists in our own hearts."

New fresh look (:

Woo ~ We did CIP today at a Old Folks' Home in Bedok North. The Home is rather unique with only less than 10 elderly and they are all females. And so I speak Cantonese to those elderly who are of the same dialect as me. Slowly, an elderly told me her story in the past. Strong. Revitalise. Those were her good old days. (:

After that, my PW group members discuss abit on our Project, and thereafter, my brother and I went to cut our hair. As you see, there are many salons opposite, so we walked from one block to another, and still, we went back to the usual salon where I had cut my hair months before.

I want a new fresh look, and tying my layered hair in the morning before school is a waste of too much time, I think. So my hair is short now, with abit of layers here and there at the back.


Cut + Wash = $15. I think it's quite worth it. (: The yan dao hairdresser seemed rather worried that I won't like the new hairstyle, so he explained to me why he preferred to cut my hair with this new style. Haha. Well, at least I feel refreshed with this new hair-cut. (:



Thanks for the bowling at Safra Tampines.
Thanks for the movie at Bugis.
Thanks for the new Nike bottle.
Even though you have sprained your leg,
still, thank you Mum for the wonderful day. LOVES. :D

I prefer things with a unique design, which are practical and not commonly used by others. HAHA I HAVE MY OWN SIMPLE, ORGINAL, YET UNIQUE CHARACTER! :D Thus, we decided on this red-black bottle cum thermal mug. <3


And I'm rather glad that I have learnt these 2 chinese music instruments. HEES. (:


And I feel rather proud with my innovative way of wrapping this gift. The 2 ribbons are from the actual object itself. I just made 2 holes, pulled the strings out from the present, and tada! RIBBONS! :D


Alright, I've to proceed with my revision and reciting the New Human Revolution for tomorrow's Discussion Meeting. See you! ((:

100% FOCUS

My neighbour, I mean the entire family, will leave for France this Wednesday night. Some information about my neighbour: Dad is a French, Mum is from Hong Kong, and so their 2 children are mixed! Lols. They will be back in about 1 month time, I think. Will miss them, definitely.

Anyway, have been losing focus in my tasks these days.
I have to plan out my schedule and tasks.
GOOD TIME MANAGEMENT! 100% FOCUS!

HERE I COME!!! XD

Emotions

Hey there, I'm deeply apologetic to those who were affected by my nonsense attitude last few days, especially my family.
I AM VERY SORRY. =/

For the past 2 days, my life condition was at its lowest. Told myself that I must not affect those around me, wanted to put on a smile but just could not bring myself to it. I was annoyed by anything around me. Got easily irritated and agitated. I wasn't like this before. No idea why this time....
Thought of not working on my choreographing of the Youth Dance for the Friendship Gathering in September for the time-being; have been thinking the dancesteps all the time, as long as there are some inspirations, even in my dreams. No joke. Wanted to just escape from it; wanted not to think of it through devoting myself to my studies and wanted to go jogging, or rather, sprinting around the stadium.

NONETHELESS, THIS ISN'T WHAT A RESPONSIBLE LEADER SHOULD DO!

I chanted daimoku to cool myself down and thank you brother for his jokes and laughing out real loud with me late at night.

Some of Thomson Zone Youth Leaders had a heart-felt dialogue with GD Ong the other night, and I attended the SD Nationwide Meeting. It was real great, met many precious comrades-in-faith, and I've learnt alot!

I was deeply touched by some of my ASD Comrades for they still remember my name even when we have only last interact 4 months ago, in preparation for the February Institution Meeting! One still even remember that I'm from CO and plays the guzheng!
I'm really moved by them and guess that the May Institution Meeting has left a great impact on them, because they remember me acting as Ikeda's wife, Mineko. HEES. :D

At the meeting, I was appointed the ASD YWD Student-IC for TPJC. I was surprised that Glenn from TPJCO, who has helped me with the moving of my guzheng and same Duties-IC during one of our CO practices, is also a Gakkai member, and involving in NDP'08! And through him, I got to know that there are other 2 YMDs TPJC-ASD! (:

Below are the 4 TPJC-ASDs whom I know so far and I've to mention, and wanting to thank them. (:

1) Ming Yuan ~ Our J2 TPJC-ASD 大哥 who guides us in different aspects.
2) Joel Ang ~ We were involved in the same meetings back in Future Division; encouraging one another.
3) Xiaotong ~ Overcoming her illness; we don't really know her well but it was her that brought the TPJC-ASDs together for the first time.
4) Glenn ~ My newly-found TPJC-ASD member, as well as CO mate; share common goal in both Gakkai and CO.

I feel fortunate to have them in the same college. (:

Next, the testimonies are wonderful. I've seeked many guidances from these testimonies. (= Quoted from our ASD Song, "Cos' We Are":

With faith I can achieve
With faith I believe that we will be
The very best that we can be

It's my ASD Comrades who have kept me going;
It's my dearest family members who have given me the fullest support;
It's my determination and strong desire to encourage and motivate those around me that I'm holding on;

and this list continues...

And I'm honestly looking forward to the next upcoming ASD outdoor activity, Connexion, in July. At the moment, I must concentrate and score victories for my Mid-Year Exams when school reopens. Jiayou everyone! (:

Come to think about it, I'm glad that I've been assigned different positions and tasks in Gakkai. Although there are ups and downs, I've grown, and learnt how to be a more capable and responsible leader. And most importantly, I'm learning to juggle both my studies and commitment in Gakkai.

With faith, I will start afresh and move on. [:

FYI

Glad to know that Miss Soh has decided to study in faculty of Arts & Social Sciences in NUS, whereby she is going to major in Sociology and minor in Business. :D

This June has been a really busy holidays for me, studying for my Mid-years, as well as my committment in Gakkai. Choreographer, dancer etc. And JC pace is really fast man.. I could not find a word to describe its fast pace.

Hehe. Alright, this will be a very very short post.
Just to let you guys know that I'm still doing fine, and my blog's alive! HAHA.

I was lying back on my chair and realised the goodness of Physics:



Share with all of you out there! (:

GOODBYE! (:
