Thats wat Friends are for.

It is really hard to point out a friend's mistake for many will be displease about it especially if u remind them in a curt manner. Often a quarrel ensues after it but upon reflection your friend should be able to understand what u have done. True friends will not shy away to help corrects friends' behaviour. However when telling them their mistake a friend should be mindful of the circumstances.

One of the taboos about pointing out a friend mistake is to do it in in public. What u did will embarrass them. No one likes to be embarrass and because of this even if he know he is at fault, he will surely try to refute whatever u say. It is best to remind them of their wrong doings privately. Like what my father says " A true friend points out your mistake and prevent you from repeating it. Sometimes what he said might not be to your liking but that is the truth. Accept it and become a better person. Such friends are truly the ones u should treasure."

Just to add on, I feel that true friends are people who stick to their values, even if you disagree with these values. They are still better than people who are shifty. Shify ppl cant be trusted for shit.

Maybe I shouldnt have gone that far but I did that because I still regard you as my friend if not I wont even give a fuck.

Mirror, Mirror on the wall.

I usually dun buy such questionaires but to hell with that for now happy ?

Get to know yourself better

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education:
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Told ya its all bullshit! except for maybe " type of gf/bf", "most afraid of" & "success". Those few sounds pretty like me.

The Chill out zone

Holding anger is like poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves. At the end of day, its the person who harmed us who will have the last laugh.

So no point being angry with*/hate a person for more than 24hrs for a silly mistake that he/she may have committed. Always remember forgive & forget is one of the greatest virtue of the human race. The possesion of this quality shows alot about one's character indeed. Whether this guy is going to be your next good buddy or the asshole who is going to stab you hard at the back when you are down. All these boils down to this special quality that we all learn before primary school education.

To cut this short, I have learnt to control my emotions better after months as a NSF. I have learnt to "da shi hua xiao, xiao shi hua wu" a literal translation will mean big problem become small problem, small problem become no problem. Its all about making couple more frens, cooking up some fun and most importantly chiLL out during this 2 years of service. It has already made a happier person even though I'm not even at the halfway mark.

Just to add one abit more, I feel that there is no point worrying about things that has yet to happen. Things like posting order, guard duties, extras etc. I always believe if some is destined to happen on you, lan lan will kena you. 100% plus chop no escape one. So my point is Dun worry, be happy! smilee =)

My past, my side, no future.

The times we sat side by side.
Sharing about all that came & went.
I took her picture,
which remained for so long, even now.

Blinded by who I was,
I split the oak tree in two.
From there our world was destroyed.
You don't know how deep it went.

I need time to reflect.
Time to think about what was said.
About how those lies are truths.
About how I've felt all this while.

You don't know what it was like before.
The impact of those words penetrated deeply.
She told me everything I wanted to hear.
Now I'm at a loss of how I should feel.

So just give me one good reason.
Tell me how it's supposed to be.
Cuz I don't wanna spent another moment,
Saying things that was never meant to be said.

We both know the truths of our hearts.
Here's mine. I'm not over you.
