here's the "Optimist Creed" which my form tcher mentioned about today when she was giving one of her heart-to-heart talks... think it's really wise...the talk was on how EQ makes the world go round, and thus, i feel that i should self-reflect and improve my intrapersonal skills...
i know that i m often mean and sarcastic and thus can be quite hurtful...i'm sorry... i will try hard to be nicer.
i also know that i have a bad temper, so i'm working on reining it in... just sometimes though, when i feel that people are being internationally hurtful or extremely and unjustly mean, i will still get pissed off... i'm sorry for losing my temper...
though i confess that i'm still working hard to obtain those standards set in the optimist creed...like today, i felt quite sad that my sec 4 class forgot my bday yet rmbered another girl's bday which is on the same day as mine...though, after thinking abt it, i feel that it doesnt really matter if someone who is not close to u doesnt rmb...as long as those ppl who really matter show their care and concern in small actions everyday, i should be thankful and appreciate that i have ppl around me who care for me... oh dont get me wrong, i'm not sad cos i wont get presents, but i truely believe in "
it's the thoughts that count", so even if u dont get me a present, just give me a hug will do ;D
so yep, i should not be sad...
besides,
one minute of unhappiness or anger will deprive u of 60 seconds of happiness...it's not worth it!
ok ppl...that's the end to today's QY's reflective moment ;D
LIVE EACH DAY TO THE HAPPIEST! ;D
i'll leave u with one last phrase from a drama which, however, is extremely meangingful:笑一笑,没什么事情过不了!;D
cheers!

oh mine ;D super happy now coz i got into my first choice course for post-promos sabbats! woohoo ;D n in case u r wondering, it's wakeboarding...cool or what ;D haha, coz i was unlucky the first time round n didnt get any of my 3 choices, plus i was a good girl n did the post sabbats survey, so yep, got my first choice...though some lucky ppl got their first choices both times round...but hey, i'm not complaining now...unless (TOUCHWOOD!) they cancel the wakeboarding course...then i'll just cry...haha, coz the available sabbats left r like...blah...
cant seem to get myself to start mugging for promos, which is a SUPER bad thing cos my sept hols r gonna be filled up by lots of events, mainly prep for MAF (Mid-autumn Festival), coz i'm the eng emcee ;D (haha, i can just hear the gasps of surprise)...MAF is on sept 6, end of hols, so prep is going to be thruout the hols...so QY, START MUGGING NOW!
though there r some reasons y i havent already started mugging:
1) so many tests n quizzes n mock SPAs n SPAs in these few weeks that i got tired of studying aft studying for all those above, so havent started studying for promos
2) plain laziness
3) no sense of urgency (usually get this around one week before the first paper, by then, too late, gone case already...)
4) peer pressure, coz i dont see my frens mugging, so i have no competition to drive me on
5) other stuff going on like soccer stuff to prep as well as MAF script
6) busy trying to do tuts on time (n failing...)
7) having too much fun having fun (get me?)
Solutions:
1) i should aim to win the top scorers in my class for each subject so that i will have motivation to study.
2) convince myself that others r secretly mugging n i'm the only one who havent started yet
3) finish tuts, n miscellaneous stuff asap as they r not the main parts of JC life
4) priortise n do out a timetable
5) mug on weekends
6) tell myself 先苦后甜。。。
7) slap myself n deprive myself of fav stuff if i dont start
8) reward myself if i mug (that's y i always put on lots of weight during exam period as my rewards usually come in the form of food)
9) manage time better n STOP WASTING IT
10) sleep earlier n drink lots of water to remain healthy n energetic
ok QY, go sleep now!

yoyo! was National Day yesterday n my bro's bday too... so relatives on my mummy's side came over for dinner and to celebrate my bro's bday + National Day at the same time... so after the parade, most of us went to TM's GV to watch Jack Neo's newest film "Money No Enough 2"...
According to the newspapers, its like a 2 hour advertisement for lots of stuff...but for me, it was a touching and entertaining show... the first part was entertaining, with the ERP thingie... the mid n last parts were super touching...seriously, the actress who acted as the mother of the 3 brothers in the movie should get an Oscar...According to Google, she's 81-year-old Lai Meng from Malaysia...when i watched her face, i feel like crying coz her emotions are just so raw and painful...
there's was this one scene that specially touched me and inspired me...
“妈妈最穷的时候,不是在她从饼干盒里拿出所有的钱给我们。。。而是当所有的儿子都不要她的时候,她才是最穷的。。。”(Mother wasnt the poorest when she took out all her life savings from her cream crackers can to give us all...She was the poorest when all her sons didnt want her anymore) this line (ok it wasnt totally the exact line said during the movie, but this is the gist of it) made me cry even harder during the movie... until know, i still feel my eyes geting wet when i typed this 2 lines out, n when i think of the scene with her dying face...(she killed herself by pulling out the life support to save her granddaughter who didnt give a hoot about her before) super sad...
so i think everyone should go watch this movie, because it teaches u values...n that money is nothing without your loved ones...5 stars!
