Growing Up


A lot of fries? No? How about this?

I shall begin my story from start before reaching to these fries. So many form 5s I know has got their driving license already. Even though I don’t have my own car yet it feels really different being able to drive. It feels like I’ve reached another stage. The view and feeling as a passenger and as a driver is totally different. There are many things I’ve never understood about drivers I could today.

Today I can drive out myself, go to places at night and fetch people safely home. It feels like I’m almost reaching the grown up stage. Last Saturday I went 1u with the Leo gang. Me and Jun Hsien drove there. The week before me and Jun Hsien also drove people to the catholic campfire. We’ve been saying it really feels like we’re almost grown up, fetching people home and then drive home ourselves.

During our time at 1u and the curve we were enjoying our days before our adult stage. We went Carl’s Jr. for dinner and that explains the massive amount of fries. We parked at the curve walked to 1u and back to the curve. We spent the end of our night sharing dumb things.

Here comes a question, if you were in a mall. A girl sms you and ask you where are you and you happen to be in the same mall as her but she needs transport home. Plus, you drove to the mall and will be driving home. What would you do? As a guy, of course the only choice you can take is to fetch her home right? That’s what happened that night and it was like, finally I can do something responsible like that. It’s good to grow up, and it’s time to. It’s time to move on to the next stage.

Anticipate the next stage and step forward.

Poems

2 days back on Friday, we were asked to write poems by Mr.Mail. I don't actually need to write as I already have a few in my book at that time but I thought of a really good title to write about which is the title of my blog. Views and Feels. Basically it's about the whole theme of the blog. Change of view, change of feel.

Views and feels

Venturing forth on obvious roads,
Only on roads that’s seen up forward,
Walking on these same few roads,
Roads that’s always seen and heard,

Look left, look right,
Look up, look down,
Have a change of sight,
Look at the different things around,

A change of view, a change of feel,
Look around, so much can be found,
Look around, stop viewing straight,
You’ll see what you don’t see today,

A different sight to the eye,
A different thought to the mind,
A different feel to the heart,
Change your visions, look around.


As I was thinking of the poems I remembered I had to i liked pretty much from my old blog and here they are


16 Years of Life


Sitting quietly listening to a clock,
Listening as it goes tik tok tik tok,
Listening to the going by of every second,
Seconds that goes by every now and then,

Reminiscing the past I could never go back,
Events of the past that I can never reset
Regrets I have, satisfactions I had,
Many things happened in this life I led,

I begun with nothing turning to a baby,
Becoming a kid and changing to a teen,
Countless feelings in these 16 years,
Joy, Sorrows and not forgetting fears,

16 years and it’s the year of form 4,
Recent it may be but it’s the best of all,
A year of experience, a year of emotions,
Creating a man who could build up a nation,

Maybe all are destined by God,
But it doesn’t mean we can just sit and rot,
They're chances that are given by the Lord,
But it’s for us to choose to take it or not.

Things are gained, things are lost,
Many things changed including my thoughts,
It’s due to all the experience I had,
Experience that I will never forget,

Countless memories have flown away,
Some don’t even last for a day,
But these memories of age 16,
They will remain with me for eternity.


Rainbows

Rainbows in the night,
Rainbows in the day,
Rainbows are still at sight,
But their beauty is not the same,

When rainbows appear everyday,
It’s just multiple colors in the sky,
If rainbow appears never again,
It's magnificent beauty that just went by,

People dream of touching the rainbows,
People dream of walking on rainbows,
People dream of dancing in rainbows
But none dream of seeing a rainbow,

Rainbows are known as a magical beauty,
A beauty that appears all over the world,
Tales, stories, poems of this theme,
Very commonly written and told,

Rainbow Bridge a place for spirits,
Spirits of animals that lost their life,
A story that has gain popularity,
A story that might just be a lie,

Sunrays shining through water droplets,
An arc in the sky multicolored,
Magical stories are still created,
Where rainbows are the bridge to heaven.


They aren't amazing works of art but they consists of a great amount of my feeling. I think it's pretty well done for myself.

Your feels, your thoughts, just express them all out.

The Law of Attraction

Ever heard of the law of attraction? It’s actually quite true but to what extent I do not know. It basically means your thoughts, beliefs and emotions will create a change in the physical world based on the ‘like attracts like’ principal. Not everyone believes in this law. It’s not scientifically proven but it is known to many that it’s true. Of course it’s your choice whether to believe it or not

Negative and positive things don’t usually just come in one if you notice. Try thinking back your past, does it usually come in one? Well, for me it never did. When something positive or something negative happens it affects your emotion as well as your thoughts and that will bring forth another of the same type of thing.

Maybe you would wonder, why is that when things goes until a certain extent things usually goes the opposite way. The reason this always happen is when things goes too good or too bad people will think about the opposite side of things and thus the magic happens. So no matter what, think positive.

Good or bad, look on the bright side.

Change, Again

Here it is, the change in my blog. Does it look familiar? Well, it’s basically the same as my old blog except the header. It took me a few days to take a picture to put as the header. I didn’t have a theme before I took the picture. I looked everywhere as I walked and just took anything that gave me a feeling. If I wasn’t looking for a picture I wouldn’t have taken that picture.

The caption in the header, “Change of view, change of feel” is something I felt as I searched for the picture. My views were usually on the roads, shops, houses, cars or maybe people around when I walk around. As I change my view and just look up at the vast blue sky I realize there are actually many things you can see you can feel but you just don’t look there.

Just a change of view can change what you feel. How you look, where you look, that’s the thing that determines what you feel. A same thing viewed in a different view can give you a completely different feel. That is the theme of my blog. It’s of the change of views and change of feels I encounter and also a blog that might change your view.


Change of view, change of feel

Looking Back, Again

Somehow I can never get over my past. Recently I kept dwelling on my past memories. Always hoping that the good things could be the same now and the bad things could be different. Wondering what if the choices I made were different, what would happen to me this day? One single decision can affect the outcome of many things whether the decision is considered big or small.

It’s not always big things that affect our life. Small decisions determine many outcomes in our lives as well. But then there’s still no use to dwell on the past as nothing from the past could be changed. Even if there’s such thing as time machine, I still do not believe anything from the past could be changed. I believe that if you were to interfere, you already did.

Stop looking back, look forward to the future. Many people would tell others to do so but it’s not easy to actually do it sometimes. There are just some things that are very hard for us to let go. It’s actually fine to dwell in the past in my opinion. As long as you don’t let go of the future and the present, it’s alright.

It is okay to look back, just don’t forget the front

Desire

I’ve been pretty troubled lately. I kept thinking about one main thing. In general it’s explained in just one word, and the word is the topic of this post, desire. It’s not that I have too many desire I can’t get but instead it’s I start to lose track of what I actually desire. What is it that I actually want? What do I want to achieve, what do I want to get? I actually lost track of it.

I’ve been thinking a lot on what is it that I want to achieve in this school because I’ve been thinking too much about my future. Recently I realized, I don’t actually know what exactly I want to achieve. I’ve changed my plan for the future many times in these few years. I grew true every experience and every experience actually opened up a different view for me. The new view actually make me realized what I chose every time was wrong including this time.

To plan for your future is definitely a good thing. It’s a very advisable act among the secondary students but even though you seem to have decided, sit down and think. Is it really what you want, could it really work the way you want it to, what if it doesn’t go as you want it to. These are all considerations you should make before truly setting it as an aim. I missed these steps myself and now here I am confused after being seemingly confident with my future.


It's great to plan but plan with utter consideration


This blog will have a big makeover soon. Stay tuned for a new phase of the blog. As the current title of the blog says, 17- the age of change it’s time for the blog to go through a change.
