in MYworld; @ 2:46 pm

yeah woohoo it's good that you know!
and you and you and you!
woo hoo. i'm free!!!!!!
ahahaha...haha
don't know why just feel like writing that!

yes that's right, go ahead believing that everything in this world revolves around you and that only YOUR perspective counts. Don't even care to look at things from the other sides. DOn't bother to find out why other people think like that, why they act like that towards you.

On the otherhand,

WHY CARE WHAT PPL THINK???

think of it: or maybe i'm just being sarcastic.

haha I feel like Joanne in that Zodiac race. Imagine her voice+ my words. Can totally shatter glass. Hey maybe that's good! Then all those hard glass hearts will shatter and become good ones. :)

on the verge of breaking a precious thing called R.E.S.P.E.C.T. @ 9:55 pm

oh gosh. haha
i don't believe it really.
how can one expect to be treated nice when they don't treat others nice?
isn't that the most basic equation in the world?

eg: b4 u even learn that 1+1=2, didn't you learn that ,treat people nice+wish that they treat you nice= they'll treat you nice?

haha, i get it now.
never have i met a person with SO many problems, being the cause of so many problems, unwilling to negotiate to solve the problem while being famously known for all these probloems.
how interesting the people of the world are.

it's so easy to lose respect for someone when they selectively choose, assume and blame.

So here's my respect to you. *POOF* it's officially gone.
And this matter is not closed. Even if you think it is.

Mixing Authority and Friendship

A listener once asked me to talk about the special challenges of mixing friendship with authority. The issue often comes up when parents want to be their children`s best friends, teachers invite students to treat them as equals, or managers are overly chummy with the people they supervise.

Clearly, there are benefits to enriching these relationships with the affection, trust, and loyalty that come with friendship. A casual atmosphere where you can call your parent, teacher, or boss "Bob" or "Debby" invites openness and is more pleasant than formal relationships where authority is continually emphasized by titles or other traditions that emphasize the power one person has over the other.
The problem is, sooner or later the expectations of friendship will conflict with the responsibilities of authority. Parents, teachers, and bosses can be friends only up to a point.

Friendships are voluntary. Friends are equals. And since the bonds of friendship are essentially formed by affection, friends have to be concerned with being liked. People in authority, on the other hand, have a job to do. They have to set boundaries, give instructions, and impose discipline, even if it engenders dislike or hostility.

Friends can accept each other without a need to change, improve, or judge, but people with authority have a duty to be more demanding. They have a responsibility to insist on character and competence.
Authority is much more complicated than friendship, and it takes character to be a good parent, teacher, or boss.

The Power of Responsibility

It`s been said that the line between childhood and adulthood is crossed when we move from saying "It got lost" to "I lost it." Indeed, being accountable -- and understanding and accepting the role our choices play in the things that happen -- are crucial signs of emotional and moral maturity. That`s why responsibility is one of the main pillars of good character.

Many people have been seduced by the Peter Pan philosophy of refusing to grow up and avoiding the burdens implied in being accountable. Yes, responsibility sometimes requires us to do things that are unpleasant or even frightening. It asks us to carry our own weight, prepare and set goals, and exercise the discipline to reach our aspirations.

But the benefits of accepting responsibility far outweigh the short-lived advantages of refusing to do so. No one makes his or her life better by avoiding responsibility. In fact, irresponsibility is a form of self-imposed servitude -- to circumstances and to other people.

Responsibility is about our ability to respond to circumstances and to choose the attitudes, actions, and reactions that shape our lives. It is a concept of power that puts us in the driver`s seat. The grand panorama of the potential of our lives can only be appreciated when we begin to be accountable and self-reliant.

Responsible people not only depend on themselves, but show others that they can be depended on. This breeds trust, and trust is a key that opens many doors.

If you want more control over your life and the pleasures, prerogatives, and power of freedom and independence, all you have to do is be responsible.

This is Michael Josephson reminding me that character counts.

EVENTS

1.
I think the most fake thing that a person can have is a fake smile.
A fake smile shows that that person has a fake heart.
And I hate people who are not genuine.

2.
When I say I want it later. You want it now.
When I want it now, you do it later.
Looks like you're getting everything done your way.
Oblivious.
Still you don't want to shoulder your own responsibilities.
Still I am not firm enough.
I am just so tired.
Events of the past? Don't think I don't know my actions were wrong.
Get over it. This is life.
The commentary was supposed to be done directly after an action has been done.
Hah.

3.
Being in a sports team is the greatest thing that can happen to anyone.
Win as a team, against a school that you see has beat you since you were in sec one. (st margs)
Finally beating them is sweet success after screaming your hearts out.
Tearing together, that feeling that was felt by Khairul Amri when he scored the winning goal against Thailand, that feeling that was felt by Indra Shahdan when he scored a goal agaisnt Liverpool, that feeling is out of this world. That feeling can never be felt if you win a chess competition, a entrepenuer competition, an essay competititon. That feeling can only be felt after you sacrificed for your team.
And being in a sports team is the best because there are no complications.
Being in a sports team is the best especially when you're in CEDAR NETBALL. Luv ya loads ppl. MUACKS.

it feels good to hang on to this feeling. so good that everything else melts away

SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE MAKE DECISIONS @ 8:24 pm

You're in control of your life to the degree that you make decisions.
It's your life.
You decide what you're going to do with it.
If you don't run your own life, someone else will.
To control the outcome of anything,
you control the action at the point of decision making.
If you let others make decisions for you, you give up control.
When you control the decisions, you control the actions.
Take charge of your life,so there is no longer a need to ask permission of others.
When you ask permission,
you are giving someone veto power over your life.
Only you are responsible for your life.
Make your own decisions.

Goong 2 & Goong S @ 11:37 pm

YES YES YES!!! there an official announcement that there WILL be a SEQUEL to Goong!!! And there will be Chae Gyeong and Yul!!!

Before this there was a confusion as to if there will be a sequel to the HIT worldwide korean drama.

This is because, NOW, in Korea, they are airing Goong-S which is a spin off from the original. And it's owned by this production company called Group 8.

Because the original was so popular, many production companies wanted to participate in producing the sequel with the original company, Eight Peak.

Eight Peak who owns all rights to Goong will be taking legal action to Group 8.

Now everyone is waiting for Goong 2.

And Goong S has low ratings. Haha!

OOOH can't WAITTT!!! but it'll only come out late 2007-early 08.

If II
By Michael Josephson

If you can feel sorrow and grief without surrendering to despair
And be kind even to those who seem unworthy of your care,

If you can let go of grudges being the very first to forgive
And be afraid of being hurt yet fearless the way you live,

If you can see others succeed without feeling envy or disdain
And drink the heady wine of praise and not become too vain,

If you can weep at the joy or sadness of those you do not know
And draw comfort from the love around you in your time of deepest woe,

If you can fill your heart with gratitude when others curse their fate
And struggle through impatience when you know you have to wait,

If you can find something that makes you smile on a dark and gloomy day
And, however lost you feel, persist until you find your way,

If you can want something so badly it feels like a need
And pursue what gives you pleasure and not fall prey to greed,

If you can do a lot of what you want but everything you must
And be faithful to your friends and worthy of a stranger’s trust,

If you can bear criticism without bitterness and from it find a gain
And be honest even when you know the truth will cause you pain,

If you can do what’s right regardless of the cost
And find a strengthening lesson in the most disappointing loss,

If you can dance with temptation and neither stumble or fall
And listen to your conscience, putting honor above all,

If you can do all this, my friend, you’ll bask in wisdom’s light
And happiness will find its way to make your future bright.

The Eagle and The Wolf @ 4:42 pm

There is a great battle
That rages inside me.

One side is a soaring eagle.
Everything the eagle stands for
Is good and true and beautiful.

It soars above the clouds.
Even though it dips down into the valleys,
It lays its eggs on the mountaintops.

The other side of me is a howling wolf.
And that raging, howling wolf
Represents the worst that is in me.

He eats upon my downfalls
And justifies himself
byhis presence in the pack.

Who wins this great battle?
The one I feed.

aura @ 8:26 pm

I LOVE this WORD: aura

I LOVE the words "blissful" and "glow" and "radiant". And if you want to compliment me, saying these words would make me smile and bubble up. I love that word "bubble". Haha.

Today, Geraldine said I looked very blissful. Shahini said I had a GLOW about me when she saw me after morning assembly. Varruna said I looked different. I asked her how. She said my eyes looked bigger. And this morning, I didn't even look at myself in the mirror so carefully. All I know is that for Subuh, I doa to Allah to make today a happy one for me.

Of course, it did help that the first period, was a very fun one. Social Emotional Learning, where we had to visualise our future wedding and husband. Also to list down the qualities and specific features we want from him. At first when Ms Lizah asked us to close our eyes and started to say "Imagine it is you wedding day," Ah this point everyone starts to laugh even though Ms Lizah asked us to take it seriously. "Imagine where it is. Inside? Outside? In a garden? Beach? Hotel? Now imagine your husband. What does he look like? What is he wearing?"

I was imagining something like Mr Ashraf Safdar with a mix of Taufik Batisah. HAHAHA. I KNOW Renuka was thinking of HADY. Of course, this made me look blissful the whole day, unknowingly. hahaha.

Can you imagine what I would look like on my wedding day? A LIGHTBULB!!! So much GLOW...haha.
