Views

People’s views change many times as time passes as people grow though how much it changes and how many times it does differ among people. Many things I see, many things I thought, many things within me has differ. When we were still young kids almost all the guys will have a ‘policemen’ as their top 3 ambition but as they grow up and see things differently, the number of those people who plan to have their profession as a policemen will be only a few.

Many times there are a lot of things I tend to not see in other views due to my stubbornness of believing my 1^st view is right even when it is not. Different people look at things in different views as well. To judge people in 1 view is quite a stupid thing to do. Every time I try to judge people I will like into every view that I can think of before judging that person.

Stepping into this year there’s a few views that I managed to see in a few things as well. A few things I realized as I was able to see these views. About love itself I realized a few things. That it is really not necessary to have the person love you back and it is most important that they’re happy. The other thing I guess I wouldn’t write it out here.

Direction

The use of a compass is to tell you directions but if you do not know which direction to head, a compass is more or less useless. It’s like in life, even if we know which paths are good for career opportunity but if we don’t know what we want then it’s basically useless. I never support people to think about what they can work as to get rich or have a stable job with good pay. To have your interest as your job is always what I want and advice others to do.

I’m actually a bit lost now. I don’t really know what I actually want now. I feel discomfort of wanting to do something but I don’t know what. The only thing I know I want to do now is to achieve something special. To be recognized, acknowledged as someone special. But what can I do that's special?

Return

I won’t be able to post whenever I want anymore. I have to write privately now not letting anyone know I’m still doing it and I might be busy sometimes. So basically I’ll be late writing about any events.

Firstly the resuming of school life, well it’s not much difference. People didn’t really change and the class is still divided into and island, mainland, ocean, sea and boats. I’ve always dreamed of uniting the class into just 1 land but I realize I’m just a small raft. I can’t go to the ocean or the sea always, when there’s wave I’ll drown. Hope I can turn into a ship soon.

Now, I went Shanghai on the 2^nd day of school and skipped 3 days of school just for the trip. The trip was 5 days by the way. It was for my cousin’s wedding mainly. He’s an Australian guy marrying a Shanghai girl. In Shanghai it’s a bit hard for me to communicate. You can hardly find people who can speak English. Oh, and their England is so POWDERFUL! Check this out.

Ok now, a picture speaks a thousand words. Pictures.

Too bad it was too misty I couldn't take any picture of the view up there.

My cousin sister, Kimberly
Quite a good view but camera ran out of battery. Had to use my brother's phone to take.

The leaving day there was nothing to do. Therefore I took picture of myself through the mirror and together with me taking the room as well.

Back to reality now. No more holidays and all. Time to start working on the many stuff I need to or want to work on. An escape from reality once in a while is great. Refreshes your mind and gives you different views on things. But then again, if the time isn't that right when you come back many things you'll be blur. Alright, that's it.

A New Year

2008, I’m a day late to talk about New Year aren’t I? Well, no matter late is better than never. 2007 was a great year for me I’ll say. For one who has lived the past 15 years in peaceful uneventful land, 2007 was like going to the rough ocean. Now, it’s the year 2008 already.

Before 2007 I was basically a nobody. I was practically just a normal quiet student who does nothing but play and study (not to say I study much though). Until 2007 I start to be more noticeable. I was back into scouts then getting a QM post, going for interact meetings then getting a membership director post, somehow got to be an assistant monitor although quite a useless one, realizing my interests thus planning future becomes possible and change due to certain reasons. Certain reasons not just a few though.

Those are basically the main things for me in 2007. Now in 2008 I just wish change in the way I want. I can’t see myself being successful yet but I’ll definitely keep trying. Being form 5 next year many of my same age friends are planning to put priority on SPM. I’m really sick of hearing people saying about SPM. My priority is on changing to be able to lead and not be a wimp. I won’t neglect my studies till I fail my subject but it’s not my priority to get straight A. It’s not even in my list.

There are certain things I realized in this New Year though I will not write out what is it. If asked I might tell but it’s only a ‘might’. Ahh, getting a bit too long. Wasn’t planning to write so long, sorry.
