things i aspire to do for the new yr

- stay young (LOL)
- go slimmer -_-"
- be smarter
- be decisive
- be richer
- be less easily irritated
- change job?
- be nicer to all around me
^^
time pass so fast
had a great time

someone made me realise
alot of my short comings
glad tat i still have such truthful ppl around me
truth hurts
but its the fact of life and how i present to others..
i know ..
sometimes i dun mean it but how i present to others affect others alot great deal .. and it affects their relationship with me..

everyone's lives are diff

i shouldnt judge or assume things
or question why some ppl do things a certain way
cause i aint them
and i shouldnt judge them

i am just me
they are they

MUST start a new yr ahead of me with a clear mind
and clear motives
and like someone said
aint know the outcome if aint gonna try
gotta make decisions soon concernin a few issues
cause i cant keep draggin it around

i shall appreciate the ppl around me more
aint gonna take them for granted
i aint alone
i shouldnt keep things to myself
and wallow in depression or being negative abt stuff
cause i know
i am always welcome into arms of ppl who truly care abt me
i get triggered off easily
i need to learn to control my temper
and my lack of patience to certain things

my vengeance list aint gonna grow longer
u guys made me realise alot of things
i am thankful for all that

i really love u guys ^^



and thanks to u for sourcin out this song for me ^^

TINKERBELLS~

haircut

went to cut my fringe and trimmed my hair again
kinda boring to see myself in long straight hair all the time ..
hmm should i straighten it? cant stand the frizziness and the mess..

well hairdresser said i look younger than my actual age
hahahahaha
not bad for someone who's gonna be 24

there's no protocol to determine how one should behave or look at a certain age
at least i dun make myself sound cute or act like i'm 16 or somethin
know means know
dunno means dunno
and i dun believe ignorance is a bliss
i wun pretend i dunno to make guys shower attention on me hahahhaha
leo said i sound feminist
hmm maybe should tone down..
if not it lingers at being a bigot already LOL
for your information
(bigot= a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion)

how i behave depends on the crowd and ppl i am with .. and the kind of mood i am in .
but its all me

and i think i behave alright.. maybe a tad too serious or quiet at times
well if i'm too extreme for u
can just remind me
i'm on auto pilot mood sometimes need a nudge to relaz myself or open up more :P

LJ updated

hey ppl
updated and tidied my LF "BE CHARMED"

hmm i just sourced for more GEM STUDDEDbTINKERBELLS
wait for more new works ~

and i lost my bag charm .. my hardwork.. depress..

AIDS statistics

saw a few posters.. campaigning against AIDS
these statistics were brought up by a colleague..
*tsk tsk*
..
and sad to say
ALOT OF WOMEN WHO WERE INFECTED WERE MARRIED PERHAPS INFECTED BY THEIR HUSBANDS

so pls
before marriage
AGREE TO THE HIV TEST
its optional FOR ALL

dun care abt watever ego or "face"
your life and health is more important

and i cannot believe my eyes when i saw the first category in the AGE GROUP
there are boys being infected??
what has the world come to ..

so ..
watever you wan to do outside..
its better to be safe than sorry ..
we cant force ppl not to have sex
we can only advice ppl to protect themselves..

i believe in being open to all views..
i know government and alot of instituitions are preachin "abstinence" but what is the actual PERCENTAGE of ppl who will listen?
and if u know u know
do not pretend that u do not know
and have that thinkin that it CAN NEVER HAPPEN TO YOU
Ignorance is NOT A BLISS in this sense





i sound like a social activist again LOL

Life Is A Gift

Today before you think of saying an unkind word
Think of someone who can't speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food
Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife
Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion.

Today before you complain about life
Think of someone who went too early to heaven.

Before you complain about your children
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.

Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn't clean or sweep
Think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down
Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around.



Life is a gift

Live it

Enjoy it

Celebrate it

EMBRACE IT

And fulfill it

And while you are at it give love to someone today
Love someone with what you do and the words you say
Love is not meant to be kept locked inside of us and hidden
So give it away "Give Love to someone today!"

JUN's DAY

hope i wasnt too naggy
hope i had been a good friend, listener, buddy, advisor
hope u have a good day ahead
and hope your life's smooth sailing ..
hope u get wat u are aiming for

and relaz..!
its your day!

Lacrymosa

another genre i used to listen but lost touch in ..
darkness.. sometimes brings the respite i need
to calm my senses
which are often too intense
to bring my emotions to a level ground
to anchor me when i deviate

ROSENTHAL EFFECT

Rosenthal Effect: Teachers' expectations about intellectual performance can lead to an "actual change" in how the students do later.

in one of my earlier posts i said i do not believe in BOTH STREAMIN and subject base
this is one reason to back it up ..

if you do subject-based learning, you are allowing the student to be "branded" weaker or stronger in that particular subject, elitism is still alive..
only in another form and name

to me
they are not giving the student the chance to learn more .. about that particular subject he or she is weaker in.
its like "oh i am weaker, i do foundation studies, i do not need to care much about it anymore"
he or she will not see the NEED TO IMPROVE on that particular "weaker" subject

teachers should not be BIAS..
should have EXPECTATIONS for BOTH TYPES OF STUDENTS..
its like wat i said .. if u aim highER, even if you fall back, it will not be too far off..

the founder, ROBERT ROSENTHAL, said that he strongly believed that all his students can "learn more than they are learning" and does not prejudge a student's ability.
so HE SETS HIGH EXPECTATIONS OF ALL HIS STUDENTS...


conclusion is
"and if a teacher does not believe in a student's capacity to learn, he should not be that student's teacher"

Cooperate to put out fires

from REVIEW THE STRAITS TIMES MONDAY OCT 16

ultimate cause is the failure of the governance on many levels
- local government failed to prevent fires
- Central government unable to assert its authority
- unable to pin point culprits

i just find this amusing ..and i told alot of people about this phrase

the Indonesian forestry Minister has said, "Our forests produce oxygen but 'we' have never been grateful. Now there is a haze, they complain"


WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL.. for oxygen?
what good are they doin to themselves by burning their VERY OWN LIVELIHOOD?
most of them are farmers..
and this is not the first time it happen
and various countries had funded their "fire-fighting" efforts
but what has become of it?
still "lack of resources"
where has it been used on then?

even if they have the resources
will they do it the "proper" way of clearin forests?
they do not even care about the haze problems themselves..
they just want it to be FAST
one fire
GET OVER AND DONE WITH..

its a sad thing .. not like bush fires in australia whereby it was due to nature
australia really tried their best in sendin out those fire fightin teams.. engines..helicopters to stop it from spreadin ..
and here
we have a country
DELIBERATELY DESTROYIN THEIR OWN RESOURCES

last quote
"Others can help, but Indonesians must want to put out the fires"

in my mind

sometimes i talk and write faster than my mind can process..
and i get irritated easily ..
yes VERY
and i burst out.. with my words..
i'm sorry if i offend anyone..

maybe had been too selfish in my speech or behaviour..
i meant well .. but it aint showin results so was frustrated..
i just do not know the rationale behind the things that u do ..
i understand wat u are doin BUT wats the rationale behind it?

maybe i seem aloof again
not carin abt the ppl around me..
not wantin to know wats goin on around me..
i dunno
maybe i am carin abt the wrong stuff or somethin or being too "self" indulgin

lookin forward to this wed and i'm off next thu and fri
my dear jun's birthday

************************

in my mind..

i will GO FOR IT!
waitin for application to be open ..
