Let It BeShe is so CUTE!!! Alas, she has been my classmate for like the forth year, yet I never found out that she is so CUTE!!! Happy people are always cute!For the past few days, I was like totally out of place, totally no mood. It was like nothing in life seems to give me any inspirations! But after a short chat with her, surprisingly, I felt much better. Finally, I found out where went wrong.My expectations were too high.As we drive towards our goals, running the journey towards self-fulfillment and success. Putting 100% commitments to your deepest ambitions, dreams of achieving everything during your lifetime? Have you ever stop and look at the people around you? Although you are progressing towards your goals, make a comparison, are you the happiest?We often say we are not the best we are reinforcing to ourselves just how miserable the world is and how unfortunate we are. But are we?We often think that we are not good enough, we always want more, more materials, more money. Today, I have a short conversation with her (a classmate of mine), what she said, stunned me. She only got $12 pocket money a week. At first, I thought she was joking, because I was like spending four times of that amount a day. Out of curiosity, I asked more.I asked her how she spends her money. She said that she only eats Bee Hoon ($0.50) in school, and once in a blue moon, she would add some toppings - nuggets. Then for lunch, she eats the same thing too.WHAT??? I even throw away canteen food if I don't find them tasty. Even if I buy something in school canteen, it would be like costing $2 or more (because I order a lot).Although she has a simple life, eating simple food, but most of all, she was happy, always smiling.But me, I get to spend like $10 on a piece of cake, but I am not happy. I always complain that I have not enough money to spend, and what, even if I buy a pen, I will buy Dunhill or Parker.I am so guilty. Because money can be spent in a better way. There were hundreds of clothes in my wardrobe waiting for me to wear, and yet, I'm buying more. I have been wasting money.I have everything, yet I am still not happy. Are my expectations too high?Sometime, when we wanted something too much, can we ask ourselves are they necessary? If not, why are we competing and working so hard like a fool for it??But, this is life! Now, I think she has a better life. Every successful people knows that in order to win big in the end, you may have to lose big in the beginning too. She has done it, she has learnt to appreciate, working on it and never complain.High expectations set on a vision that is "unknown" or vaguely-defined can easily get you lost. We see where we want to go, want so badly to get there, but have no idea what it takes or what it is that we're really pursuing.Stop and think again. Are they necessary?

Love GraceHave been together with Grace for 1 month!I'm really busy lately! Have been busy studying and preparing for O level! Training for golf competitions too!No time! See ya! Blog again soon!

Look At The World
The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one! Sometimes 'world' refers to all humankind! Everything in the world-the desire of flesh and the desire of eyes and the showy display of one's means of life! Come into my world.........

Loudness from afar
I was out for tea with Grace at a new café. It was a decorated place, bright lights and fashionable. The quirky red armchair was comfortable. It was definitely a place where you want to spend your late afternoon there to take a breath from our locked daily routines. The dishes on the menu looked so impressive and everyone around seemed so tidy and civilized.
Sad to say, the meal wasn’t as pleasant as I hoped.
Are American generally thought of to be loud? The loudness of the Americans opposite my table in the café amazed me. They speak so loudly, just like children shouting and it was rather annoying and embarrassing as well.
Maybe I’ve seen a lot of the loud Chinese national. I don’t have anything against anyone. I’m sorry to put it this way, but Americans do have a reputation (among Singaporeans) for being aggressive as well as loudness.
SEEING RED? COOL IT! I’ll stop here.
In today's world, it seems that everyone is busier than ever, but less considerate than ever.
Our lives are like that. We sometimes get so busy that we don't take time to sharpen ourselves and to be considerate. But I think we should not get so busy that we neglect the truly important things in life, like to care for others.
We all need time to sharpen ourselves, rest and relax, to think and meditate, to learn and grow, to care and love. If we don't take time to commit to our inner selves, we will become dull and lose our effectiveness. How can the world be a better place this way?
I’ve been very busy with examinations, which is done now. Perhaps I’m not getting enough sleep and I’m being aggressive. Now I’m taking time for myself, I’m going to sleep at least six hours tonight.
Hopefully, like some loud people would take time and effort to learn manners.
