the japanese trying their best to help each other in times like this.
their helpfulness is one of the virtue that i admire.
during our japan trip, even the passers-by were more than willing to show us the way, very patiently with a smile.
this time, it's really 患难见真情。
and this made me wonder.
will things be like this too if it were to happen to us?

things are changing.i'm changing/changed.
i miss the old me.
i don't wanna grow up.
the grown up world is too complicated.
the things i experienced/saw at work made me think a lot.
about the future.
cos i'm not one who has a bright future ahead.
so i'm supposed to start worrying?
i'm bothered by the dream i had last night too.
hopefully, it won't happen in real life.
it simply means i care if i'm bothered.
i'm thinking too much tonight.

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!happy 45th birthday singapore! (:
i don't have the national day mood.
i don't really have the yog mood either.
i wonder why.
was just thinking about choices and decision.
and the beatles' obladi oblada played on my itunes;
obladi oblada life goes on~
so i just decided to ignore all the shit and think about the happy things in my life.
things weren't that complicated last time.
and i miss secondary school days..
(it started with my bro's friends coming to my house this morning)
here's a contradicting line before i go off:
i want to chill out. but i want to save money.
anyone has suggestions on money-free activities?

after watching the 9pm show on xinmsn, emotions turned into a sudden emo pang.but the feeling just cannot be put into words.
it feels as if i'm not existing right now and whirled into my own world.
sidetracking, today's band practice cum tune-in.
disappointed with myself.
hate the fact that i'm not doing anything when i know what're the problems with myself.
the motivation disappeared, the passion froze.
i lost the feeling of what i used to feel years ago.
my mind is not strong enough to carry out actions in this current state.
sorry for delayed posts. (are there even more than 3 people reading this now?)
will try to update them asap.
shall give myself some reflection time tonight.
sleep when i'm tired of thinking.

today was my 2nd last day at work, mon's the last.it was my first time working in an office environment, learnt quite a bit.
and so the anti-climax, school's starting soooon. \:
was attempting to pack my table.
failed big time, ended up talking on msn.
i need to really sit down and pack my room for a new year of school.
i've decided to use this little daiso (bought in japan!) whiteboard to enhance my japanese learning. i can never remember the days of the week up till now!!
anyway, MERRY GOOD FRIDAY!
i bought japan taupok cup noodles just now to reward myself for working & celebrate the public holiday hahaha.
i've never looked forward to a public holiday so much in a long time.
probably cos i've been tired and need more rest.
(although i need to wake up early early tmr morning to bai my ahgong ahma, but there's still time for naps in the afternoon/evening)
been thinking really alot for the past month.
yes cos i'm alone most of the time at work so i think and think and think alot.
having a good talk with yaju now, feel much better now.
憋太久会有内伤哦~
i need to thank my friends who're there for me to rant to :D
talking to some people really makes me smile and sort my thoughts out.
it makes me feel peaceful.
changed.
i used to be more extroverted, i think i'm almost an introvert now.
or i may be an open-self extrovert but a hidden introvert - johari's window, ha.

i should try harder to tolerate irritating people more because no human being wants to be treated that way even though i'm already very tired of being nice.cos you also learn that sometimes being nice doesn't pay off, then the selfish and ugly side of mankind starts to emerge.
i'm also getting tired from trying to not offend anyone, it doesn't work anymore.
as you grow older and experience more, you begin to understand why people can be so selfish in this competitive society.
it's because you can only survive when you're selfish.
people start doing things to get what they want.
this is the real world, i'm starting to see it more clearly.
it's scary, it makes me don't wanna grow up.
i think more as the night gets deeper.

当所有人在关心你飞得高不高时，只有少数人在关心你飞得累不累。i received this message from bao a few days ago and smiled. (:
so who are the people who really care?
i'll feel very touched when people really do care.
along my life journey, thanks to all those who were there for me, supported and encouraged me in whatever way to make me go on.
even at work, i'll feel happy when someone talks to me, even the slightest conversation.
although a loner's life isn't that bad afterall, it's good to spend time alone.
but you end up thinking about everything like the above. hahaha.
okay enough of blogging.
i haven't practise my festivo and it's 2.30am, OMG.
i need to practise, i need to practise, i need to practise.
hope i won't have any major screw up(s) later!
byeee.

为什么老天爷那么喜欢作弄人？i feel so sad after watching the drama although there're 2 more episodes.
i'm a sadist, i like to watch sad dramas.
but it makes me think and taught me some values in life too.
i hate the feeling of parting especially when it's for good, it's too cruel.
那种依依不舍的心情和放不下的感受太残忍了。
悲しいです。
[oh wow, i have english chinese and jap in this post/paragraph]
anyway just an update, work has been good so far. (:
will update again this weekend.
i'm getting tired and i need to prepare for kanji and kata test later first.
i'd better don't be late for lesson too or i'd miss both. HAHA.
oyasumi.

i felt like typing in chinese.and i planned to type a full post in chinese last time so here it is.
我的心好重，整天想的东西太多了，好累啊。
政治的东西我不喜欢，总是搞不懂，也不想懂。
最近一直碰到他们，而以旁观者的角度来观察，它是永远会存在着的。
对自己的表现还是不满意，还是不能搞好音调。
想了想，我很后悔当初没有把它的基础和技巧学好来。
有人教，人没学好。没人教，人要学。
当时真是生在福中不知福！
等到失去了才来后悔已经后悔莫及了。
但是我还是想念那些美好时光，还有他的耐心教导。
好了，该去冲个凉准备睡觉了。
明天还要上班。
晚安！

while thinking of ob concepts this morning, i thought of an example for power.what happens when you want to make something happen but don't have the power?
i don't have the legitimate power.
i don't think i have referent or expert power in a way.
so i just sit and wait for things to happen.
but i don't like to do that.
the person is willing but the situation is not, how?

hello all my blog stalkers/readers,新年快乐！HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! :D
may it be a prosperous year ahead for all.
watched one episode of a taiwan drama, 比赛开始, on some mio channel.
nice nice, shall add it to my to-watch-drama-list haha.
even my papa also say it's nice! :D
i think dramas make me think alot.
was thinking about how people change as they grow up.
i guess i'd be the one hoping that one day everything can happen all over again.
dreams vs reality.
having dreams is good, but reality is always there to go against you.
that's why i dislike (/hate) the feeling of unaccomplished goals.
i don't like doing things halfway.
you need the determination and perseverance.
okay my brain finally stopped thinking.
bathing time then off to study!
i didn't go with my mum and bro to watch movie cos i was feeling guilty for not studying last night and this afternoon.
so i'd better study!
the feeling of making a worthless sacrifice sucks too.
i hope tmr's a more exciting visiting day.
am looking forward to tuesday too. (:
byebye!

the something i found to do was future-planning/thinking.why does it seem so bleak as usual?
seriously i'm lost and undecided, although there's still a long way to go.
i hate it when i start to do some thinking on this issue.
where's the light of guidance?
i told myself it's alright and moved on.
but there're still times i blame myself.
there're still times i hate myself.

i had a dream last night.i actually thought about it for the whole day.
or rather trying to remember how i felt and what else happened.
don't remember having any conversations in the dream but it was a pleasant scene.
but it felt distant. different from the how it used to be.
i hope it won't be the same feeling in real life.
sometimes i wonder if the people around me will change.
especially for the worst, cos i haven't really seen people change for the better before.
it's scary.
but who doesn't?
i admit i changed, no matter how much or little it is.
i thought about this recently, it's the external environment that changes people.
eg. less tolerant with people who irritate me cos there're more and more doing so.
(maybe with a mixture of internal factor too)
humans and their brains are too complicated to be fully understood.
that's why i want to be a carefree living-thing, which i haven't thought of what yet.
or maybe just be a non-living thing?

bloghopped a bit.everything was too coincidental i had to blog.
my mum told me about my bro's conductor leaving his school last night.
saw it at weng's blog and uhm, hopped to someone random's blog and saw it too.
and the music playing on my itunes was star of dreams, 2005 syf piece.
just like how sir left cedar exactly a month after syf.
that was just a part of the achievement-oriented system of schools.
the cruel system, and it continues.
goodnight.
this time for real.

i'm thinking.i don't really care anymore, not as stressed up this time round.
maybe because alfri's back?
it's more or less our own responsibility.
sigh but still feel kinda disappointed.
and up till now we didn't even had any sectionals.
having full attendance is already hard enough, it only happened once.
for now, i can only just hope for the better.
today, i thought tam o'shanter sounded more decent than noah's ark.
i don't dare to think anymore..
sheesh bad mood again.
and i hope i don't fall sick anytime soon, my nose had been itching for the whole day.
having opinions but not voicing them out = letting yourself down.
having opinions but voicing them out = too direct.
having opinions but don't dare to voice out and vent elsewhere = backstabbing and gossip.
none of the above seems morally right.
my human/interpersonal skills have not reached the standard to handle stuff like this.

once i commit myself, i find it hard to let go.this is just one of my (newly discovered) characteristic i guess.
and i have no idea whether it's a good or bad trait to have.
good to commit, bad to not let go and make me want to live in the past forever?
so i saw many people who came and went..
no matter where i was, this happens all the time.
it's just part and parcel of life for people to leave.
but from what i observed, things do change after that.
i can't help but feel disappointed at times.
but again, things happen for a reason.
without changes life may get dull?
i take it that it's for us to experience new things.
i won't consider this as emo-ing, but doing some thinking here.
been thinking quite alot recently.. must be too free already.
my table is under packing now and the floor is in an even messier mess.
should take more time to finish packing it asap rather than thinking too much..
goodnight.
