Midnight Oil... To save 3 others' Life.

Oh they sting, how they sting,

as they struggle to stay awake.

Oh they ache, how they ache,

as they long for a lay, in the nice warm bed.

Oh it sucks, how it sucks,

ao see the Chipster but not digesting it.

We don’t understand why she’s doing that. 

To stay awake to finish it off, even when time is still fresh.

To buy something she shouldn’t eat, then to resist it till thesis is done deed.

Haiz... because Thursday ,

Is Blood Donation Day.

So, she need enough sleep,

On Wednesday night indeed.

Start Opening Up to Others

Finding it hard to open to others, to me is a weakness but represents a sense of coolness and curiosity. But recently, I find it a real disadvantage, giving much chance for misunderstanding from others. Hard in opening to others also made me oversensitive and over-think about a lot of situations. Knowing this, but still not able to help continuing in this path. Having been told about this problem and reassured that situation is not as complicated as I tend to make of it, does not help nor improve the way I think.

To me, Courage. Need to dig up the courage and step up to the challenge. I've finally able to do that today and find that it really isn't how I think at all. I feel more reassured and lighter after opening up today.

I usually think twice about calling, or contacting people I would like to get to know better or befriend worrying that it will inconvenient them. Hence, only waiting for a reason or purpose to then only call. I realize now, because of this I am missing a lot.
Today, I finally brought up the courage to do just this. Telling a friend (one worth to be better friend with) how I really feel and think. I am very appreciative to her; for her positive comments and reassurance. Thanks!

When usually, longer time was needed for me to be really comfortable to openly share my thoughts and feelings, I believe I should start learning from her and not keep everything to myself only.

I realize more now than ever how insincere it is to just call my friends, especially best friends only when I needed something even if they already know and understand how my character is. I learn today, more than ever how my actions that meant well may not be obvious to others.

Starting Today, Right Now. I Vow~~

• I will say 'I Love You' to my family more often.
• I shall not keep everything to myself and over-think situations. Instead, find out and open up to others.
• I shall not be overly concern of what others think of me as this is very tiring and stressful. 
• I will call my family and friends more often, even when there aren't anything important I wish to tell them.
• I shall not think of my friends and those who care about me as Helplines but as the Sun*.

I promise I shall do this well and improve myself for the better. I would like to thank my lecturer for giving me this insight and all my friend who has been supporting me all this while. 

I would like to thank my family and especially cousin who supported and reassured me when I needed it most (not something he present usually). 

Last but not least, I thank 2 person today for helping me understand all these with positive mind. Thanks to you, I can start making this move towards a better Self.

*The Sun:-
Always Reliable; Rising every morning without fail.
Shining Brightly; Offering light when you need it most.
Never Gone; Even when it's not visible.
Beautiful at the Rise and Set.
Important for human survival.

Good friends are those that stays with us through our ups and downs. ^_^

Remind Me Again

Would you like it if someone can just listen to you? Someone to just pat your shoulder or hand when you aren’t happy? Someone to give you a hug when you need it. One to make you smile again after everything that has happened?

If you do, most probably others will like it too. Show some concern to people around you. Show them you still care, you are there for them.

Often, when a friend is down, we can always find ways to help them:

Ø  Listen to them

Ø  Advise them

Ø  Lend a shoulder to them, and even

Ø  Make them smile again.

But really, have we really been able to persuade ourselves in the same way?

Even when the issue faced are the same. Similar situation, similar problems.

I can’t. Can you?

This is really when we need another’s shoulder to cry on. Another presence to speak to. Another advice to take instead of our own.

We all know this. But sometimes, we just need to be reminded of.

So remember, there are always people around you that need your love and care. And in return, there are also others that will care for and love you. Always.

Don't Worry, Be Happy

I always worry that things I do aren't enough or not complete. Even sometimes thinks that there are more that I could have done compared to what has been prepared. Especially when I realised others has done more than I have and better too.

It made me feel useless and aimed to do better than others. But this in the sense put more pressure on me to perform. And whenever I could not as I expect to be, I feel stressed.

I have always been able to tell others how to face this problem but never to myself. I guess same goes to Tim. She will have to similar thoughts like me. And even though she performed much better than me but still faces this situation. However she said this to me when I pose her a question.

Grace: Would you feel wasted if what you have put so much effort into doing and preparing that actually, what are prepared aren't needed?

Tim: No. Because I feel however much effort you have put in, no matter if they are needed or not. There will be reward back. It may not be needed for now. But it will be useful in the future. It's all worth it. Nothing is wasted.

This is a good advise. Thanks Tim!! ^^
