If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it. ~Mary Engelbreit
(if you're wondering, I got these quotes from http://www.quotegarden.com/attitude.html.)
[Class lunch gathering is tentatively on the 21st of June, Seoul Garden-somewhere in Singapore]
Today was a pretty short day, to me. hahaha. Had ICA today and I was the second one to be the counsellor. It was so scary. I mean not scary that kind of scary but yah, you know what I mean? I thought I didnt do very well because I was so unsure of what to say. I felt so relieved after it was over but I think I could have done better. At least we still have another one in the second half of the year (: Anyway, my grandma cooked today! I finally get to eat home cooked food. I just love to eat home cooked food. hahah maybe its because I dont get to eat them often. I always eat outside food (see how unhealthy I am) because my mum dont cook and I cant cook. I think the last time I ate home cooked food was during Chinese New Year. I think I might be able to have home cooked food for at least 2 weeks? well because my grandma doesnt need to go to school during the school holidays for secondary school. oh, shes works as a canteen vendor. Home cooked food is just so different from the outside food. They have an added ingredient of love. hahahah. And yes, SULING THE WOLS said she will teach me how to cook someday. For now, I will just settle with what I have (: I cant wait till Friday. I'll be meeting up with my primary school friends! We've been good friends for 6 years now and I've not seen them for about a month or so. We actually planned to meet on the first friday of every month but things didnt worked out so this friday would be our chance to catch up on each other's life. Actually, sometimes I feel different when I'm with them. Its like because they're all in Junior Colleges and I am the only one whose not. (in my group). So they usually have common topics to talk about such as their subjects, what chapter of this subject they are doing now and so on. And I cant possibly talk to them about such stuffs because I dont even have to do math or science anymore. But then again, I like the fact that I'm experiencing a different life from them. I'm doing practical stuffs which includes human interactions instead of working on math problems all day. But what matters most is that we're still able to communicate well with each other despite our differences. Just the other day, I was walking home from the mrt station and I saw another of my primary school friend inside the clinic that I walked past. We waved to each other and thats it. Its funny how we can still reconise each other when we've not seen each other for such a long time. ohoh, i also realised how small and connected this world is. I have many friends that are friends of my current classmates and also my classmate's friend is the friend of the ex-classmates. hahaah this sounds so confusing. I'm just trying to say how connected we all are to one another. How cool is that! Alright, tomorrow will be a long day. My group will be doing our presentation! :D

I love the world
The most wasted of all days is one without laughter. ~e.e. cummings
(ohoh, you dont actually have to read this post. Its just mere thoughts running through my mind. On the other hand, it keeps the blog alive. hahaha)
I like this quote :D Its been about 1 month and a week since school started. How time flies.. Anyway, heard from someone or somewhere that the world is going to end today. But why am I still here? Sigh. The world is just such a wonderful and amazing thing. How can it end so quickly? I've only spent 17 years here. The world would be a much better place were it not for the invasion of mankind. I mean not only did human do good to this world, they created harm to our mother earth as well. And I can probably conclude that the harm done was much more than the good. Being a Geography student is the past, I've learnt about the many natural disasters that occurred as well as global warming. Global warming is the released of greenhouse gases caused by human activities such as deforestation. And deforestation is the burning of forests to clear the land area. The consequences of deforestation is that it decreases the carbon sink and causes the greenhouse gases to be trapped in the atmosphere. But the thing is, deforestation is created to meet the high demands of human beings. But I guess its just the nature of human. We can never be satisfied with what we've got. We'll always want more. Am I being judgemental? Maybe. hahah. We always say we'll play our part to make the world a better place but things are easier said than done, right? Here, I dedicate this beautiful song to the world.
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD by Louis Armstrong.
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.

its 11.53pm now (:
I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else. ~Winston Churchill
4 more minutes to a brand new day. Every new day is a good day. Well, at least thats how I see it cause we choose how we want to start our day.
Anyway, since it was a public holiday today, my family went out for lunch together at Parkway, or Marine Parade. We went to the basement where there is a foodcourt to have lunch. Luckily for us, we found seats pretty quickly. When I sat down, the thing that I saw on the next table reminded me of the Singapore culture. Right, I saw 2 packets of tissues on the table. I suppose it was meant to 'chop' the place. I abhor such human behaviours. Maybe 'abhor' is too strong a word so..I dislike such human behaviours. Okay, I shan't elaborate least I bring about misunderstandings. I remember that there is a discussion question in our tutorial about how Singapore's culture affect my self-concept. Actually, I don't know how it affects my self-concept. Maybe it makes me want to be the best in everything? I don't know, but it doesn't really matter now. Last time, I used to think that results were everything. If you don't get a good grade, you're not smart. That's because since young, we were taught that we need to have good grades to have a bright future and blahblah. But I guess I've stepped out of it. Results dont determine your future.(or maybe it does affect to a certain extent) It is only mere numbers that shows you your academic level and not how you grow internally as a person. I am sure that everyone will have their opportunity to shine. Its only a matter of time. Why am I talking about this anyway. hahaha.
It'll be a long day tomorrow! We'll be having our guitar cca and this will be my first time learning to play a guitar. I am clueless about playing the guitar. But maybe I have a hidden talent? hahah I doubt so. Alright, its 12.26am, just realised how long I take to write a post. Wols. Goodnight!
yah, its by DB, as Uncle Aaron calls me. hahaha!

such a mundane day today.
"A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be" (Douglas Pagels)
Perhaps, we should start each day with a quote that will keep us going throughout.
I was just looking through a list of quotes and this quote that I've quoted caught my eye. Last Friday, I wasn't feeling very feel. I couldn't concentrate during the tutorial and I kept thinking to myself 'what if I faint'. It seems so ridiculous but I really felt that I was going to faint and I have absolutely no idea why. After the tutorial, we were suppose to have lunch but I didnt even have the energy to stand up and I just didnt feel like eating. The point is, my classmates were there for me. They kept asking if I was alright and like they talked to me about other stuffs that turned my attention away from being unwell. It felt like magic but I was feeling so much better afterwards. So much so that I could still go jogging after school. So yeah, a friend is indeed one of the nicest thing you can have and I think that the best way to be a friend is to accept all the flaws of the other individual and tell them truthfully about what you think about them. Of course, there are many other ways to be a friend but thats all that I can think of now.
Anyway, its Vesak Day tomorrow. But it'll just be another Tuesday for me. Got to be focus and finish up on the projects. Ah okay, I think I'll just blog another day. I dont have any inspiration to blog now. hahah.
P.S. I have this weird thing about adding colours to words. I dont like it when its all black. I think there is something wrong with me. oh well.
LOTS OF LOVE,
PRINCESS DB (:

Since nicole is updating this blog and i dont want to disturb her and i'm also very bored, i shall do a short post too!
Recently this thought has been lingering on my mind. Dont you find it very intriguing for the 25 of us to be in the same class? We are born in different years and live in different parts of singapore and come from different schools and family backgrounds yet we are gathered into one class in one poly. If we had not arrange the position of our choices at the JAE this jan will we still be in the same class? We may be in another course, another poly or maybe even JC.
The web of life is so interesting! If i had not go into express during sec1, i will be taking o level this year and not part of this class. It is like our chance to be in the same class is because of certain changes and decisions we made in life thus resulting in this.
I found out that everyone is intricately interlink to one another too! Because i enrol into social science, i get to meet wenting whom we have so many mutual friends between us but if i did not enter this course i may never even know her.
Last time i used to think my secondary school life will last for a long time but who knows 4 years pass by so quickly. I bet this 3 years in poly will pass by in a blink of an eye because almost a month had pass since school started. We should start cherishing each second and not let it get wasted because we are aging at an exponential rate! Okok before i join the aging population i should go and sleep!
and i really like this quote : By union the smallest states thrive. By discord the greatest are destroyed
Bye... btw i'm suling and omg i'm faster than nicole???

Leon Zernitsky: Large hand reaching out to business people at edge of cliff
May this piece of art be reminder to us. Although we do not only reach out to business people, we reach out to people whom are at the edge of the cliff, whom need our help. Our hand might not be big enough to save them, but we can work together as one, help one another and put our hands together, to help the people in need. Because we're the future Social Workers. ^,^

We had a long day today and tomorrow would be the worst.
Some of you have got CCAs even after the long day in school.
According to some of you, school is 9am to 9pm tomorrow. (Really tiring for you guys. Maybe you should quit CCA! Hahahaha! I was just kiddin')
Anyways, i shall keep this post short and sweet.
Therefore, i shall end of with honey!

SATURDAY.
I just clicked on the link of this blog and I was thinking that since I'm part of the IT and Communication comm, maybe I should take the initiative and make an effort to keep this blog going even though I am not a 'blog' person. Its been about 3 weeks since school started and i'm beginning to like my class more and more. Its quite rare to see majority of the class wanting to eat together during breaks after 3 weeks but thats exactly what my class is doing. I remember when i was in secondary school, my class never had recess together as a whole until it was the H1N1 period where we had to sit according to our classes during recesses. After that period, it was back to normal. We had recesses with our own cliques. No, I don't mean to say that we can't eat with our own group of friends and that we must eat as a class but yeah, its just my own opinion. Afterall, we are free to choose what we want, right? (: I think it was 1 or 2 weeks ago where some of us played badminton together. I must say that it is a really good idea for all of us to exercise and have fun after a long day of school. After that, Charmaine, Kenji and I went to have dinner together at 85 market. It was then that we managed to know more about one another. We were asking each other about their first impression of us. But I think that first impressions isn't much of a big deal since we didn't really knew each other then. As the saying goes "never judge a book by its cover." We were there till about 8 plus. It was as if we were old friends catching up on each other. Yesterday, we had lessons with Jim. I don't know why but I just found the lesson very meaningful. It made me think alot. I'm pretty sure this course will make me realise who I truly am inside and I'm glad that I am in this course. Somehow, I just feel special to be in this course. I wonder if anyone share the same sentiments as me. Okay, maybe I should end off this post here. I hope I did not bore you out. I must admit that I am not a very good blogger but I will be better. hahahaha!
On a side note, I hope that everyone is progressing well in their projects. we can do it!
