Wednesday, 29/06/2005 - Don't go around in circles, change the way things are being done! Hw many times do we kip thinking in circles abt hw to solve a particular problem? If it had been unsolved for a long time, shldn't u realized tt it maybe due to the way, we try to solve it? Y nt c things frm a diff angle or try asking diff persons for help? No pt using the same proven 2b failed method, rite?

Tuesday, 28/06/2005 - Never gossip about people! Alot of ppl like to gossip abt others. I dun deny I like to share gossips abt celebraties & such wif my frenz. Bt it's time we sit dw & tink. Wat's the pt of wasting time gossiping abt others? And tink, wld u like 2b the topic of other ppl's gossips? Yes, we dun gossip abt ourselves & we can't stop others frm gossiping abt us. Bt it doesn't mean we hafta do the same to them. Only a fool follows wat a fool does.

Monday, 27/06/2005 - Never be afraid to ask questions, because everyday is a learning day! Often, we're afraid to ask qns. Especially for us asians, we're scared of being paiseh. Bt, we're nt gona lose a piece of meat or hafta give a dollar for asking. Only by asking, we can learn more things. No1 is born a genius. There's alot of things we duno, we learn as we grow. Every1 of us noe sth, some1 else dun. So y shld u be afraid of asking wat u duno? There wld comes a time when ppl will ask u sth u noe bt they duno in return. And by asking & learning, u gain more knowledge & noe more things, isn't it? Den the next time, u wld be telling some1 wat u've learnt 2day because u asked a qns 2day. Nv stop learning!

Sunday, 26/06/2005 - 没有占有的爱也能很幸福！ Often, we tell others or hear ppl telling us if we love some1, we dun hafta possess tt person. To do tt, it's hard, v.hard indeed. And afew of us can really do tt. Some of us struggled to do juz tt. Bt out of those who managed to get the mindset of to love some1 is nt possessing her, hw many of them are truly happy? Very few...I'm nt the 1 who's very happy abt being nt able to possess the 1 I love either. Bt when I c her being happy, whether being attached wif some1 else or single if she choose 2b, I really feel true happiness for her. I love her, bt it doesn't mean she haf to love me in return, she's nt obliged to. Neither does she hafta tink abt hw I wld feel wif her rejection. It wld be gd for us to hear her console. (Sometimes) Bt it doesn't means she has to. If u're tinking of getting sth in return, be it her love, her console or watsoever, u dun really love her at all in the 1st place. B'coz I truly believe love is...

Part 83 - "From that day onwards, I never get to see my dad again. He was charged with child abuse and sentenced to 25 years of jail. I went to visit him afew times, but he told the prison officer that he want to see no visitor. Soon, I decided that he really hates me and never ever treated me like his son. He would never want to take a look at me anymore. I'm supposed to be happy about not living in fear anymore. But I have no other kin and I felt so lost back then. However, it was 7 years ago. I managed to let everything stay where they were. I no longer remember how my dad looks like, neither did I try my luck to visit him anymore. Beside work, it's only baseball for me. I do feel lonely too, but what can I do? My mum passed away when I was born and my grandma left me too, I have a dad who don't acknowledge me and is put off in prison. Be it happiness or sadness, I have no one to share with. It's such a miserable I got to live with. Which is why I blew my top at...

Saturday, 25/06/2005 - Never be who you are not! I duno abt others, bt for myself, many atimes, I wish I was some1 else. Mb some1 taller, more yandao, more cool, more sociable & the list goes on & on... Hwever, I'd never realized tt each & every1 of us is a gem on our own. We're precious & special coz there's no1 who is totally the same as who we are. And whoever we compared ourselves to, u'll certainly find 1 positive thing u haf tt the other party doesn't. If only u looks deeper into ur heart, there lies a hero u nv noe of. Be proud of urself! U're the best u ever could get!

Friday, 24/06/2005 - Be tactful with your words! When u noe something when said will provoke others or start an arguement, den try ur best nt to say. If u really muz tok abt it, be tactful (use the correct words, nicer ones) to avoid hurting others or pick up a quarrel. Let me gif u an example, a common one. When ur frenz accidentally knock over a glass of water & splash onto u, dun start saying, "Y r u so dumb/stupid/careless?!" Mb u cld say, "It's okay, but do be careful next time. It would be quite bad if it was hot water." Coz u didn't gave them -ve remarks, bt remind them 2b careful & the seriousness if the same situation were to happen again. It might nt be a v.gd e.g, bt u ppl noe wat I meant 2 say. So dun start shooting ur mouth off the next time. We haf a brain 2 tink, dun we?

Thursday, 23/06/2005 - Take things slow when it's time to do so! Nt all things on earth nid 2b fast. Juz take love for e.g, rushing into a r/s juz after u get to noe the other party for a short while normally dun end well. And as the chinese saying goes, slow work produces good quailty. So for some things, u juz hafta take it slow or u'll regret in the future. Ctrl ur speed!

Wednesday, 22/06/2005 - Behind the clouds, the sun is still shinning! U dun c the sun when the clouds covered it, bt it's still dere. So when u tink all hope is lost, it's nt actually lost, it's waiting for u to find it. Never ever give up. Hope is only lost when u give up or it'll alwiz be dere for u like the sun does. *Really paiseh for nt updating my story as frequent as I wish to. Coz I'm really v.tired e'day after wk. And as I'm starting sch soon, I'm spending more time wif my family & frenz b4 I get real bz. Pls try 2 understand my situation, readers! Thx alot!*

Tuesday, 21/06/2005 - 害人之心不可有，防人之心不可无！ Direct translation: Nv haf a heart thinking of bringing harm to others, bt u can't put dw ur guard against ppl. We shld strive nt to hurt others at the same time learn to protect ourselves frm being hurt by others too.

Monday, 20/06/2005 - Don't just think about yourself, spare a thought for others! This is from the 9pm show. I find it quite meaningful. Human beings are selfish, that's an undeniable fact. We're selfish in different areas & to different extends for different ppl. I tink we really ought to put ourselves in other ppl's shoes at times and think for them. A self-less world would be a better world to live in. Juz take my accident case 2day, if I didn't tink of reaching my destination faster & assume the ambulance driver would give way to me, the accident would had been avoided. I shall try my best to think for others more often. (^^.)

Wanted to go Tiong Baru Plaza for lunch. But who noes, when I drive out of the carpark, there was an ambulance reversing and it hit me. Yes, I'm okay, bt my car is badly damaged. Guez my 1st mth pay is gone. U can't said for sure whose fault it was. I tink it's both parties fault. As there was a civil defence post there & he assumes every1 driving dere noe he will be parking dere. And for me, I didn't slow dw as me too assume he wun be reversing so fast. So I guez assumption really make an ass out of u & me for us. Haiz..will learn my lesson well. I'll be a very very very safe driver frm nw on. Yes, I admit I was a very very very reckless driver b4. So ppl, dun be afraid to sit in my car. I really learnt a very expensive and heartpain lesson.

Sunday, 19/06/2005 - Life's not so bad after all! Tell urself tis when bad things happened to 1 by 1 & they seem nv ending. Coz even at the end of the tunnel, there would alwiz be light & when dark is at its darkest, dawn is coming. For everything, when nth seems to goes rite, there wld still be a glimmer of hope. Trust me! Juz rem to tell urself when things goes wrong, "LIFE'S NOT SO BAD AFTER ALL!" There wld alwiz be sth for u to look 4ward to. For me, I look 4ward to going hm & c my family members all well & my hammies at play. They simply cheer me up no matter hw bad my day was. Find sth to look 4ward in life!

Part 82 - "So, you are awake, Storm? It was really lucky of you to survive. Your dad is locked up for the court hearing next week. He's being charged with child abuse. You won't be suffering with him again. And I had helped to settle Granny Yun's funeral." It was Storm's neighbour, Uncle Sun. Uncle Sun saw Storm's dad back home on Granny Yun's death. It was obvious that he was drunk and Uncle Sun had seen and heard him beating the hell out of Storm. So, Uncle Yun followed behind him. He was determined to stop him from torturing Storm anymore. "He's being charged? But he's my dad. I'm really a jinx! I caused my mum to die, my granny also left me and now my dad is being charged because of me! Why am I not the one to die on that dreadful stormy night?!" Storm break down in tears. *The story is back due to strong resquest by Roan. I felt so threaten. I guess I hafta continue the story whenever I can..haha XD"

Saturday, 18/06/2005 - Find a job you like and you won't be working for the rest of your life! I nv understand the real meaning of this until I found my current job. I nv knew the importance of finding a job u like b4 tis. It's really great when u look 4ward wk e'day you wakes up in the morning, take pride in ur job & feel a great sense of satisfaction when u get a gd job done! So ppl, tink carefully of whr ur interests really lies & pursue ur career well! All the best!

Friday, 17/06/2005 - Hugs warm the hearts! When some1 close to u hug u, it really makes u feel so gd. Especially when u're dw. A hug is the best gift when u can't find the words to say. When ur family member, frenz is sad, u gif them a hug. When they're happy, and calls for a celebration, u hug them. Go hug ur closed ones u haven been hugging or had nv hug them b4. It really warms each other hearts. Dun be shy!

Thursday, 16/06/2005 - Chances are created, not given! Frm 2day incident, I really agree wif tis 语录 of mine. Bt as to wat happened, it hafta be a secret. In the past, alot of ppl had been telling me tis, bt I nv tink much of it. Afew gals whom I love, like, had crushes on had told me tt chances are created by oneself & nt given by others. I nv stop to tink of the real meaning behind it. But nw I noe, I'll create chances for myself & will treasure them. Ppl out dere, be it for love, sch, wk or wat, create ur own chances, dun wait for others to gif u, they(chances) will nv come tt way!

As I have started wking nw & wld be starting sch in 4/7/2005, I haf less time on hand. Leave hm at 7.30am & reached hm at ard 7pm each day. My time spent wif my mum is getting lesser. Therefore, unless she's wking 2 shifts, I wld be watching 7pm & 9pm show wif her everyday. Or she'll start imagining things & tink I'm drifting away frm her. So frenz, contact me thru email/hp if u want. I'll still be updating my blog e'day for the 语录, as for the story, I wld only update it when I'm free & haf ideas on wat to write. Bear wif me, k? It's juz the start, I nid to settle afew things 1st. Mb in the future, I'll squeeze out abit more time to tok crap wif u ppl on MSN again! Dun worry, I'll be back! Bt u muz be back for my 语录 & story! It'll be more & more exciting wif each passing day, tis is my promise to u readers! Still the same old thing, gif me time & I'll show u the best Ivan can produce! Thx for all ur support all...

Wednesday, 15/06/2005 - Leave some time for yourself each day! We're alwiz bz wif alot of stuff. Family, frenz, leisure, sch, wk & the list goes on & on. I believe alot of us dun haf the habit of spending some time alone. Therefore, I strongly advise u to try putting juz 5 mins aside to urself. Tink of anything, juz abt urself. Be it wat had happened 2day, ur dreams, wat u gona get for urself when it's pay day. Yeah, anything under the sun, as long as it's abt urself! Most impt ting is, make urself feel gd abt it! I does tt everyday & the kind of feeling is really hard to describe, u juz gota go try it for urself to find out! (^^,)
