Happie tip 1: Do something to make someone else's day! You'll feel damn happy in a jiffy! ;D

~HaPp|nEss~

Was kinda depressed a few days ago over my (inexplicable) multiple aches (back, arm, waist, wrist, knee, and now, ankle) but i'm feeling happier nowadays. All because of that FISH video. I dunno what happened exactly but after watching that video, sth juz clicked and i felt that in actual fact (wait, is there sth called 'not-real fact'??!!), i have more to be grateful for than to complain abt.

It's really abt "choosing your attitude". I can either choose to be a) grumpy & angry abt my injuries & at the same time make everyone ard me sian diao, or, b) i can haf fun wif my frens in sch, make pple happy & make myself happy at the same time. So i chose the latter....And i really enjoyed myself on mon....Had lots of crazy moments wif wei wei during maths...realised that i've never actually sat down wif her & crapped so much b4 so i'm really glad i did that =D

Dun worry hui ling u still have a significant place in my heart...Oh and keep the suaning on yah!!! *heeZ*

Another attitude that i'm starting to adopt is to "live like there's no tomorrow". I really enjoyed myself on mon (i noe i sound damn long winded but it's true)...crapping wif wei wei, spoke to my juniors in interhse cheerleading...i dunno, it was just an enjoyable day, really...so much so that if there was no today, i wouldn't have regretted on yesterday...Anyway, the pt of this attitude is to do all the thgs that matter on that day. Like, what, gwee's tutorial??? Trash it. Last episode of America's next Top Model? *eyes light up* Oh, watch! ;P

One last tip to stay happy: don't expect anything. Jan gave me this advice like, in sec 3 (Jan, rmb our 'homework' & the anti-drugs package? those were the days of looooooooong but interesting letters, huh?) and i think it makes a lot of sense. By not expecting anything, if nothing happens, you won't feel sad and if sth happens then u'll feel ecstatic! =D

~Interhse Cheerleading~

Yay...i think the interhse cheerleaders made some progress on mon...the new bases r not bad, the girls bases r getting better too, and the whole squad turned up, i'm on better terms wif the pple in my jr class...which is good =D But the yr 1 maelstrom cheerleaders have training for some dumb performance on sat....They didn't want the job actually but Tay told them ytd that it cannot be cancelled so that have to train for it...wtf...f*** off lah tay! I think the jrs shud go on strike and let Tay screw himself... Dat asshole....Eating into our time only lor that TIBS driver...

~Shuai ge!~
Yay...seems like Johnny Depp has 3 films coming up: Pirates of the Carribean 2, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory and Neverland. Can't wait! *drOoLz*
~Missing~

No, i'm not going to tok abt the abalone King (i tink only hui ling will noe wat i'm tokking abt. If not, hui ling, pls refer to the title of this paragraph ;P). Rather, this chunk of words is dedicated to my anime bookmark that i lost today. Haiyah....felt kinda down cos i lost one of the 3 anime bookmarks that Stella bought for me. and the one i lost hapens to be the one i like the most. *pOuTs*

After sch, i tried tracing the path i took after i last saw the bkmark but i still couldn't find it...KNS...oh well...nvm i'm going to search for better pics of him and my my own bookmark...

To stella: "i don't want to drop anything that you passed to me." (does this line sound familiar to u? maybe a certain K. Domoto said it to a certain T. Domoto b4...)

To everyone else, if you see a laminated bookmark wif a pic of a cool-looking dude wif floppy hair and the bookmark has a purple tinge to it, PICK IT UP FOR ME IMMEDIATELY. Thank you.

~Deviation from the Norm?!~
oh no i tink i may be attracted to a certain someone. But that someone is a girl. *gAsp* I guess it started with me building a personality for her by just looking at her. i guess i'm not really in love with her, just with that impression, that identity i have for her in my mind. So when i finally got to interact with her recently, she's not what i imagined but i think the proximity sort of generated some feelings (?). i caught myself checking her out....and it's been a long time since i'd done that since i'd progressed from being an awe-struck sec 1 in RG. She's really lively, friendly, cute & confident & gets along well with Issac (i had dis crazy tot that she may like him but anyone & everyone can crap wif Issac so watever)...i dunno...today seh didn't seem so upbeat...i wonder wat happened.....

But my juniors are a damn nice bunch of pple. I'm really happy, seeing them so united & closely-knit...It's sth that my class prob can't achieve & my bunch of frens still fall short of that standard slightly (dun worry 03S13 folks i love ya k...harhar). It's probably cos their personalities are very similiar...seeing them havin fun just makes my day..That happiness just rubs off i guess. When i asked them who my angel was, they kept saying it's them & i had like 4 pple, proclaiming their identities as my angel.. i guess i liked the attention. But probably it was their readiness to fool ard with me & including me in their circle that makes me glad...well, this is how frens are formed rite? By letting down your gurad and being yourself. (Oops...i think i may haf let down my guard too much today, vaguely rmb saying lots of dumb stuff in class...harhar)

Oh yah i tink there's this guy in my jr class whom i tink is quite cute...harhar shan't say who.................(actually i don't even know his name - yet).

~Be Nice~
Had this interesting discussion wif wei wei abt Rg culture vs SN culture. SN culture is v warm & friendly. Like their principal will call them 'bao's (treasures) when she see them and talk to them...everyone will try to help each other kind of thing. But i think in RG, we aren't so caring. R-pple are more tsumetai. Yeah, pple care but there's some element of protectionism. Like, pple will still try to protect their own interests first. Like pple dun like sharing their study materials. pple will tend to keep thier guards up. Which brings me to my next pt. should you allow yourself to be bullied?

Today, some irritating pple took up my usual table in the oasis. So i sat at another table. My fren Tina pitied the pple whose table we took over and that we shift to the canteen instead and i was like, "No, ren2 bu2 wei4 ji3, tian1 zhu ding4 mie4". And she went,"We know that those pple took over table but these pple don't." Then, i felt very small for bullying the 'innocents'. Am i being selfish? But i hate being bullied. I guess when u get taken advantage of, the best way is to deal with those who took advantage of u instead of taking it out on someone else. Cos if u just suffer silently, everyone is happy w/o knowing the injustice they caused you and life just rolls on with you alone knowing & feeling that injustice. I hate that feeling. zhe4 zhong3 gan3 jue2 you3 ru2 gu3 geng3 zai4 hou2 - bu4 tu3 bu2 kuai4.

It's the question of, "why shud i have to be the victim if others can suffer instead of me?" Realistically, only pple who think "I wan to do things that way and i'm going screw anyone who gets in my way" will be 'happy'. But they are inflicting pain on others. (knowingly or unknowingly) and i cannot be truly happy if i this happiness were at the expense of others. I think we shud all learn to give and take lor....In this way, evryone is happy, except maybe urself but hey, happiness is a state of mind, truly. Anyway since when did sacrifice need loud hailers.....

(Just remembered that my childhood motto was to be nice to everyone; don't marginalise anyone; don't be overbearing; and respect everyone. Since when did those bitch traits find their way into me?)

Loving Nation, Caring Country! <---This should be our national motto instead.
