smackaroos! alrite. first and foremost, thank you for helpin me out with the song. :) dont u ladakis love it. i adore it.it sure is yummy. ah sighs. i sure hate being a naggin capital B. but sorry my chicks. i want u to do well. i dont care even if it takes u to hate me. we will do it lar. we will. alrite. i have been havin some encouragin talks. principal talked to my class today. i was rackin my brains, thinkin wat she could possibly talk about. obviously, nothin positive came to mind. number of absentees, results, underperformance, disinterest.... hey but Lo & behold baby! she was to give us a motivational speech. and yes. it sure had some positive effects. she had a pop quiz. and damn the question i had to answer was wat year was my school founded in. and she was walkin ard, saw my answer and said my name and told me itwas wrong. u see, i and the principal are buddies. THEN i tried another try and she saw it again and said it was wrong. damn. point to learn: dont copy from ur useless partner alrite. some of my opinions and wat i have learnt. first and foremost....my own opinion, i would like to inform all of you peeps who think tellin ppl u study is not cool. or those who are embarrassed to study . or wat have u lar. well i have learnt that, those who study alot be proud of it. those of u who think u have done well. be proud of it. those of u who are gonna sit down and study and get mocked at by ur friends... Smile and say, I have got my priorities right. if u are an anjadi but u study, be proud of it. if u are the ang mo kio's trendiest ah lian, study THEN be a ah lian. get ur priorities right okies? alrite. that conveyed. i enjoy motivational talks. and advices. seriously. i m very thankful to god. he makes me meet all these experienced people and allows me to learn from them. from someone randomly on the bus who i gave up my seat to... to my neighbours and teachers..and ma cousins.. they have all said somethin and i have consciously thought abt it. and i may seem like it. but i m not the sort to ward away advice. i think alot( like u dint already know) and reflect upon the advice given. coz seriously , it would be so useful and someday, u will tell it to someone who needs it. anyway, how many of u have visions of what u want to become in 10 yrs. have u ever imagined of what u wear? what mannerisms u would have? where u would be workin? what u would be actually doing? have u all ever dreamed of such stuff? or do u guys jus seem content with what u already have and dream of what u would the week after on a friend's party? and laugh at those who dream and have everythin planned out? do u take for granted ur dreams ? ur smalll desires? well STOP. my dears, start dreaming. that is what is gonna make you focus and help u work towards it. seriously dont all of us hear the same blardy thing, 'have an aim and work towards it.' have u ever wondered how does this mentality work? obviously not, u must have been mockin the baldin dude who was talkin abt it. [i kid,i kid] Okay, a small experiment.to explain why we should 'have an aim and work towards it'. if in ur houses u have those peacock feathers take them and put them on ur finger tip. look at the bottom and try to balance it. u will find that u move alot.. according to the feather, to try to make it stable. then look at the pretty feathers right at the top and try to focus to balance it. see how different it was from the first experiment. u will see that it is so much easier to balance it . The moral of the story dears? Look at the bigger picture and work towards it. dont jus look at ur immediate actions(the tip) and blindly work towards it. u will find that u spend so much of energy tryin to manage the immediate challenges. have a bigger goal. dream of it. be specific of ur goals. jus dont say, after my diploma, i wana be a waiter. NO. be specific. and its okay, as u live ur life, ur goals become finer. ur goals are more shaped. And u will find that u will feel much better and u would know wat is irrelevant or doesnt matter to u and u wont spend uneccessary amounts of energy pursuing it. ahhh. yesh. wel i said it. i share advice . only coz i believe it has strength. well like all advice givers say, u have the choice to take it or leave it.
Start dreaming. Dream of the car. Dream of the Visa Card. Dream of the happiness. Dream of ur definitions of joy. Dream of YOUR life. Dream YOUR dreams..
