Why does money matter so much to everyone? Sometimes I wonder whether its money controlling us or the other way round. I mean its good to be thrifty and save for a rainy day. However it seems that we're never satisfied with what we have. We always want more, we want it better and we always want it immediately... Impatient ain't we? Thats perhaps the reason why most pple fight everyday... money money money...
I have the most exciting life in the whole world man... ( note of sarcasm) Here it goes... Everyday I wake up to my stupid alarm clock. I wake up, grumble to myself, get changed brush my teeth. i pick up my bag... stone a bit more then go to school. In school, I drag my body around, smiling and waving at pple i noe... and wondering y am i smiling in the first place... I go for lessons. then i study till 8.50 in school then i realise i have to rush to catch my bus.. then when i reach home with no strength or motivation to do anything else... repeat this 5 times a week and u get my life... i hate studying... i really do... there's no fire in me like the one mr lau mentioned... i dun wanna care anymore.. i leave it to God..lala
This is the blackforest cake that i baked for my mum... Nice eh? Haha it tastes a little too sweet so I shall go easy on the chocolate fudge the next time round.
Mum was touched, no doubt. I love my family!
Life's kinda boring nowadays, there's like zero excitement in my life. Everyday is just school and study. Perhaps ever so occasionally I would be able to play a little bit of pool with my classmates or maybe a game of basketball with my old buddies.( I have to state that I do stink at it).
I read the newspaper and they mentioned that all or most blogs featured are only people talking about themselves and nothing else. I guessed its true and we are all trapped in our own world obsessed and concerned only about the things that revolve around us.
Hope and love in the world are perhaps what the world needs the most. There's increasing suffering in this world, more disasters, more wars. When is it all going to end? In the light of so much troubles, I guess that there is perhaps still hope in the world. The light at the end of the tunnel may seen dim, but it is evidently still there. I read somewhere, "never laugh at someone's dreams. Cause without dreams, we don't have much". And sadly most of the time, the ones would put down our dreams are usually the ones closest to us. Childish as any dream may sound. If there is hope and hard work, it maybe fulfilledl, so dun be in a rush to put other people's dreams down.
Have you ever looked at a guy and wondered how much courage he possessed to actually pursue their dreams. They left their comfort zone to head on the road less travelled. Despite the challenges and the overwhelming odds. They stuck with what they loved to do and went ahead with it regardless of how the world looked at them or how life stuck them down.
I'm currently at a crossroad. Simply couldn't make up my mind on what I want to do? My heart screams for me to follow my passion, but of course the brain screams another. Could I really give up everything for my passion? Would it turn out horribly, or would I end as one of those stories where people point out and say what a waste.
Perhaps the views of a biased society has led me to think that being a chef would be a lower job than others? Although I love to cook, worries start to sink in again... Would I be a good enough Chef? And I really suited for such an area of work?
Choked by my thoughts... Although it may seem that I don't think a lot,(probably because I don't think of the proper things at the appropiate time) I actually do think... In fact, the thoughts overwhelm me. I Have a BIGGGGG EGO, and seriously I need to do something about it. Thats probably the greatest hindrance in the pursue of my dreams. Following my dream, ain't going to be a walk in the park. But I know this is what I've got to do, I'm not going to spent the rest of my life wondering how my life would turn out to be if I had taken another path. No Way... So this is My Life... and I'm not going to let go of my dream. No MATTER what... Go my journey begins... Its going to be tough, but that makes it all the more sweet if you attain it...Whats life without a little challenge?
I love blogging to myself and perhaps God? It somehows allows me to find the answers by putting the questions out.
People say... Success is built on hard work... People say... Don't regret, work hard now... People say... Time is running out People say... Don't cry over spilled milk... Its ironic ain't it, we spend all of our youth trying to be successful and working hard. Yet we slave away our best years, and choose to try to enjoy our older years. Old and balding, toothless and have limited mobility... how then would you then enjoy your life? To climb all those mountains, when your back hurts with every step you take? To see all the sights, when your eyesight is starting to fail you? It certainly sounds like great fun isn't it?
Doesn't hard work bring success? I'm starting to doubt it... This month has been the hardest I studied, but yet the results would tell a different story. Then along come the people would would come and tell you that you haven't been working hard enough. A tight slap across your face right?
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self- seeking, it is not easily angere, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love NEVER fails....
I guess the world focus on lust more than love.
What this world truly needs is more love. Somehow men don't always focus on what we need, but only on what we want. We don't need more time, more money, more material possessions than we already have. All we actually need is to actually spread some love.
Love is not lust, when your intentions and actions are pure of heart, then I guess that would be true love. Where then can we find such true love? Perhaps the way a mother loves her child? The way that God loves the world?
I think everyone has the capacity and the ability to love, but what then is holding us back?
When can we totally grasp the concept of love without a single thought of self?
I think the one thing that stops us from loving others is self love... Simply said, we love ourselves too much that we are then incapable of loving others. In everything we do, we consider the benefits to us before we do something. Somehow or another, all our thoughts and actions have reflected that we want to gain something out of it.
Perhaps it is time that we stopped focusing on ourselves and learnt to love others...
It won't be easy.... but the things that aren't easy that it is worth doing I guess...
I wonder when was the last time... I actually just sat down to enjoy my food... Its always schedules to meet Things to do... There never seems to be enough time anymore...
I seriously can't think of what makes me happy any longer? Playing a game? Watching a nice movie? Chatting with a friend? It just doesn't feel the same any longer... There is no pure joy, no more simple fun... I'm afraid that it would overwhelm me, and when the work stops coming, I would be so lost... Thats just the singaporean lifestyle ain't it?
