You know, before I came to America, I was super looking forward to it. And to be honest, I was looking forward to escaping Xmas for once because you know, the Xmas season means work for us. But now... Now I realize there's no place like home and I can't wait to get back. I'm counting down to my flight back... just 2 more days! I'll be touching down on Xmas day at Changi Airport around 12.55pm with no less than 3 heavy bags. -_-"' Prob going JW. So yay, I'll be back in time for the last round of Xmas drama! ;)

My laptop is so gone so I can't use the internet as and when I would like to which is absolutely horrible. I'm blogging from a computer at the front desk of the hotel reception now and the connection is cannot make it one... it gets disconnected every few minutes. -_-''' I'm trying to not be bitter over the fact that my mum refused to get me a new laptop? Well, she should try being me for a day, experience what it feels like to be halfway across the world having classes at where she has dreamt about coming to for the last 2.5 years and not being able to use the computer to do research; upload the photos taken on Facebook,and Skype+MSN with the pple she loves. That said, I should try being her for a day. And I bet I'll hate it to the core. Poverty is a curse and damn, I want to be rich. My children shall never have to face this kind of desperate situation. I shall be a generous and loving mother who will allow my children to live comfortably and happily.
Okay, enough of my blabbering. I shall remind myself of the good things that are happening to me. During lunch break in OCU today, I was queuing to go into the cafeteria when this tall, black lady right behind me complimented about my shades and when I was about to pay, she simply asked that the bill be on her and treated me lunch! I was very happy of course and thanked her. And she doesn't even know my name. Would this kind of thing happen in S'pore? I doubt so. Asians, or at least, myself growing up, are taught not to talk to strangers, blah blah blah, all that kind of nonsense. Treat a stranger whom you met for the first time to a meal? Never! I love the American culture. I love it for its generosity, I love it for its liberality, I love it for its creative power. Throw away all the immorality in it and American culture would be awesome. Wendy is Americanized in her outlook in life(if you haven already noticed)... I prize freedom and liberality like the Americans do. I love their music, I love their movies, I love their style, their language and so much more. It's America baby! Haha.
During lunch break, I also met this student, a black girl called Angelina who is working part-time in the PLUS (for oversea programs) office when she's not having classes. She was really nice, helping me to log onto my OCU email which I had trouble getting into initially and answering the questions that I had for her. Yeah, you know me, asking questions is like my middle name. Those who can't stand this learning habit of mine can't survive being friends with me and that's just too bad! I only managed to log onto my OCU email just now and finally, after 2.5 years of being a OCU student, I am in the OKCU network on Facebook, yayness. =P
After class this evening, we were brought to see the Chickasha Festival of Holiday Lights. I saw many ang moh children there and I said hi and took pictures of them! Heh. =D And no, I can't show you photos now, no thanks to my laptop. But soon, I hope... Might consider buying a laptop here with the money that my mum, grandma and da gu has blessed me with for this trip. Yes, I'm truly blessed... more than I even realize myself. After enjoying the display of lights, Professor Leo Weneke, the one who gave me an A+ for Philosophy class, treated all of us to ice cream at Braums. And mind you, that was 45 people at least. And he must have spent at least a hundred US dollars, just like that. This is how generous Americans are okay... stingy Singaporeans out there, GET A LIFE.
As you ought to know, I am taking my Environmental Science class now. Professor Louis Krutchwitz is probably in her 50s or 60s and she speaks rather slowly and monotonously and her teaching style is pretty haphazard, jumping from one topic to another without clear transitions in between... And a Science class is pretty mind-boggling for a pure Arts student like me. Oh well, only 2 more days of classes with her. And I'm so dead if she reads this, haha. In the morning later, we're going on a field trip to the Wichita mountain here in Oklahoma. It's already freezing cold here on the ground level, so man, it's gonna get interesting up there, lol. I'll probably be insulating myself with 4 layers and no less. The bus leaves at 7.30am, I have to wake up at 6am, it's 1.55am here now and it took me more than an hour to type this entry (see why I haven been blogging that often now? =P) . I haven't talked so much on my blog for a long time. I hope this entry has been a thought-provoking and interesting one for you! Till next time, adious. Pls keep me in prayers all my dear friends, one of my classmates has fallen ill and I can't afford to do so, what with the freezing cold weather here... Love ya all! =)

Okay, I haven't been blogging. Let's just say I've been focusing on other important areas of my life. Haha.
I am pleased to announce that I've finally travelled outside of Asia for the 1st time in the 21 years of my life! I pray that I will be in health the next 17 days while I'm here and have the time of my life. I just reached my hotel in Oklahoma City a few hrs ago. I had expected a skyscraper tall hotel like the ones in S'pore but no, there are no skyscapers in Oklahoma! All I saw were trees and short buildings while I was travelling in the cab from Will Rogers World Airport. OKC is clearly a countryside area! Urgh, next time I wanna visit New York City and LA for real! GO WITH ME PLS. =)
The adventure begins tmr with the orientation. We'll be brought to OKC Memorial and Museum for a tour, as well as shopping at Wal-Mart! Pictures tmr I promise!
Btw, it's 3 degrees celcius and 1.19am here now. Brrr.

It's so ungentlemanly for guys to make girls wait and they totally don't see it. Blurgh. I wonder how someone can be sensitive and yet so insensitive at times. I feel like I'm taken for granted and I want to minus marks - tick,tick, tick, tick,cross, cross! Haiz, no one is perfect. But the imperfections can sometimes really destroy things, don't they? Wake up, wake up! Or should I be the one waking up??
Talking about much happier stuff, Asia Conference has been nothing short of excellent, fantastic and life-changing so far. Daddy totally melt my heart and blew me away with what He told me today. What do I do now? Show me Your way!

Having 669 friends on Facebook means having relationship stories pop up on my newsfeed everryyy day. One primary school friend whom we dated in primary 5 for like a week (lol) has broken up with his cute gf, another of my ex-dance group mate went from being 'in a relationship ' with her bf of 2 years to 'single' and then to 'it's complicated'. And then a nice girl I got to know in the SIM/SMU cluster in POS 2007 is now attached to a guy I randomly met in church. Haha. And the guy is one year younger than the girl? Haha. Well, I can only pray that my relationship status will go from 'single' to 'in a relationship with' my prince charming, to 'engaged to' and then to 'married to' him, nothing more and nothing less! Heh.
13 November 2008
I felt like crying yesterday after I found out what I found out but I thank God for emotional support, for friends with whom I can share my burdens with and feel encouraged after talking to. Thank God for friends whom I know are praying for me too. =) All things work together for my good! I need faith to continue fighting for what I believe in and I shall not lose heart when things are not what I want them to be now!
Anyway, I watched Madagascar 2 already! Not as good as the first one!
Catching a acoustic concert at RP with Vann Vann later! =) We've got a task to do there. ;)

I Don't Love You - Originally by MCR, covered by Mia Rose
Well when you go
Don't ever think I'll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I'll be off to find another way
When after all this time that you still owe
You're still a good-for-nothing I don't know
So take your gloves and get out
Better get out
While you can
When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"
Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading
So sick and tired of all the needless beating
But baby when they knock you
Down and out
That's where you oughta stay
When after all the blood that you still owe
Another dollar's just another blow
So fix your eyes and get up
Better get up
While you can
Whoa, whooa
When you go
Would you even turn to say?
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday."
Well come on, come on
When you go
Would you have the guts to say?
"I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday."
I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday
I don't love you
Like I loved you

Just came back from choir prac! Sat beside Vanessa, the Alto today cos Evan, my Soprano buddy didn't come. And one particularly interesting conversations b/n the many that Vann and I had goes like this:
Wen Wen: Wah, yr skin very smooth leh, I like!
Vann Vann: Hee hee.
Wen Wen: Uh, if I become lesbian how?
Vann Vann: (with serious look) No, that will never happen.
Wen Wen: Haha, ya lor, I like boys so much!
Vann Vann: Ya, haha.
Wen Wen: We love...
Wen & Vann in unison: Shoes, bags and BOYS(the slogan on one of her tees)! Hahahaha.
We were just kidding of course. We definitely live for so much more than just those things. Thanks to gf, I survived the boring X'mas carols prac! Well, I won't be singing those carols in Dec cos I'll be away in America so I practically have no reason to learn them and hence my boredom! Speaking of which, I still have my student Visa to apply, tour and domestic flights within US to book! Nov is gonna be a pretty busy mth! Got exam and assignment due on the 15th, followed by 5 days of Asia Conference from 19th to 23rd, pack luggages for trip and off I go on the 30th! =)
My life rocks, thank you Jesus! =)

Love is definitely in the air. Just this last week alone, I have 4 friends getting attached and 1 friend getting married!! Looks like pst has been praying really hard for us. LOL. Congratulations to Chloe & Zong Xing (both from SOT 2008), Eugene, Ivan and not forgetting Diana & Lawrence whom are now one! When will it my turn?? 2009! I prophecy! Muahaha.
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails . . . - 1 Cor 13: 4-8
Love is patient, Wendy. 'Wait' may not exactly be the fave word in your dictionary but learn to wait. Wait, wait, wait. Good things come to those who wait. I hope so at least.

Britney Spears' Birthday Bash On Television
Pop princess Britney Spears will celebrate her 27th birthday in style, blowing out candles on live television later this year.
The Sagittarius will usher in the special occasion by singing at Bryant Park in New York City on December 2. Britney's performance will be televised live on the US breakfast show, Good Morning America.
The singer's birthday bash has apparently sparked a feud amongst American TV networks because everyone wants a piece of her.

Okay, my no holds barred confession about me wanting to have a bf did conjure up different reactions from different people. But I remember the encouraging ones - that I'm just being normal (Sophia), that it's great that I know exactly what I want in life (Gajaen) and that my courage is admired for being so honest about it (Benedict). =) Of course, I got some unwanted attention here and there but may I say I realized that the older I get, the bolder I am! I'm just not afraid of anything anymore. Sometimes it's not good, because I get too liberal with the things I say (read: the recent entry that I took down), but I think most of the time, it's all good because I healthily voice out how I feel here and not keep things held up inside which can be really unhealthy. I just have to make sure that I offend no one at it. ;)
Less than 24 hrs to being officially 21! Looking forward to adult life!
It's hard to believe that it came to this
You paralyzed my body with the poisoned kiss
For 40 days and nights I was chained to your bed
You thought that was the end of the story
Something inside me called freedom came alive
Living in a world without you
You told me, my darling
Without me, you're nothing
You taught me to look in your eyes
And fed me your sweet lies
Suddenly someone was there in the window
Looking outside at the sky that had never been blue
Ah, there's a world without you
I see the light
Living in a world without you
Ah, there is hope to guide me
I will survive
Living in a world without you
It's hard to believe that it came to this
You paralyzed my body with the poisoned kiss
For 40 days and nights I was chained to your bed
You thought that was the end of the story
Something inside me called freedom came alive
Living in a world without you
You put me together
Then trashed me for pleasure
You used me again and again
Abused me, confused me
Suddenly naked I run through your garden
Right through the gates of the past and I'm finally free
Ah, there's a world without you
I see the light
Living in a world without you
Ah, there is hope to guide me
I will survive
Living in a world without you
Btw, The Rasmus' latest album, Black Roses, totally rocks and this is the first single from it:
Living In A World Without You
It's hard to believe that it came to this

Some people just makes me wanna take down the earlier post but I shall not care. I'm still very happy even though I'm single but I know that I'll be even happier if I'm with the right person. That was basically what I was trying to say, just that it was stated in a very extreme and expressive way. So I don't care if you get any wrong ideas!
Met Val dear for dinner at Pasta Waraku. She gave me a treat! I was on cloud nine! Sooo happy! Haha.
The rest of the photos are on FB! It's almost a ritual to upload pics there, do a nice description, come up with a creative title and tag all the pple. FB has become a way of life. That is how powerful one social networking website can be.
Yours truly,
The No. 1 FB fan (hur hur)
I ditched the heels and wore sneakers out today. Feels damn shiok! =)

I chanced upon this song on Youtube! Did you know that letting go is an art? I wonder how many people in this world can truly master it. . .
Art of Letting Go - Mikaila
Put away the pictures, put away the memories
I put over and over through my tears
I've held them 'till I'm blind, they kept my hope alive
As if somehow that I'd keep you here
Once you believe in a love forevermore
How do you leave it in a drawer?
Now here it comes, the hardest part of all
Unchain my heart that's holding on
How do I start to live my life alone?
Guess I'm just learning, learning the art of letting go
Try to say it's over, say the word goodbye
But each time it catches in my throat
You're still here in me and I can't set you free
So I hold on to what I wanted most
Maybe someday we'll be friends forevermore
Wish I could open up that door
Now here it comes the hardest part of all
Unchain my heart that's holding on
How do I start to live my life alone
Guess I'm just learning, learning the art of letting go
Watching us fade, what can I do
But try to make it through the pain
Of one more day without you
Where do I start to live my life alone
I guess I'm learning, only learning
Learning the art of letting go

I received a fantastic email from Phil Pringle today that completely wowed me over (my fave lines in bold!) :
Very well said indeed. Pst Phil is damn cool. =)
The final Youth' Em is just 11 days away and I'm really looking forward to it because I'm given the privilege to host the event, share my testimony and perform our PCDID (read: the much talked about Pussy Cat Dolls inspired dancing =D)! One day after is my 21st birthday and the opportunities given feel like a present from Daddy becos I've always asked to be used by Him and now, I'm receiving what I asked for. =) I am so thankful for and humbled by that . . . Many ideas went through my mind just now on what to share. I'm also starting to think of the photos and specific words that I want to use. It is very enjoyable to be able to craft my very own testimony. =) Come 26th October, my life shall never be the same again.
As some of you guys know, I started this telemarketing job last week at an independent mortgage advisory company. Even though the pay might not be as high as the fees I charge for tuition, I learnt a lot about mortgage, loans and interest rates and it's been really educating so far. I also made 2 new friends, Slyvia and Esther, whom are my fellow telemarketing colleagues. I invited them for Youth'Em just now and they said they'll be coming! Yay! =)
After work, I walked past Central Mall and saw that Club Marc is having the 'Really Huge Sale' (what a cute name for a sale!). I went in and saw that all the shoes are on sale for $19.90! I bought a pair of black heels which was originally priced at $79.90! Sooo happy. =D All the cheapo shoes that I bought in the past that had only cost between $10 - $25 each have all disappointingly spoilt after I wore them for a short period of time. Let's see how long this originally $80 pair of heels will last me! This is officially my first experiment on the durability of more expensive shoes! ;)
My life may not be perfect, but it indeed is very good and I am thankful for the all blessings and joy that I have. I'm glad my 15 October 2008 ended well! 12 more days to my 21st birthday! OH MY GOSH! =)
Past, Present and Future
'Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated' bullets' - George S.Patton Jr.
We all need to deal with three realms.
The past, the present and the future.
We can't escape the past by trying to live in the future.
We need to deal with the past first. Then the present, then the future.
Unresolved offences, unconfessed sins, unpaid bills, unsaid apologies, unwritten letters will torpedo both our present and future.
Then we need to secure our present - create patterns and systems to live by, organise work and play - establish priorities and commitments.
Our foundation is solid.
Now we can dream, pray, prepare, plan and strategize for the future.

I caught Stardust on dvd and the following parts pulled at my heartstrings. To put it simply, Yvaine is a fallen star that Tristan finds.
Yvaine: Are you tempted?
Tristan: Tempted, by what?
Yvaine: Immortality. Let's say it wasn't my heart. Not me. Just a star you didn't know.
Tristan: You seriously think I could kill anybody. Even if I could, I mean, everlasting life? I imagine it would be kind of lonely. Well, maybe if you had someone to share it with. Someone you loved. Then it might be different.
Yvaine: You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves... You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I'm trying to say, Tristan is... I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me anymore. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange - no gifts. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine.
Narrator: They ruled for 80 years. But no man can live forever, except he who possesses the heart of a star, and Yvaine gave hers to Tristan completely. When their children and grandchildren were grown, it was time to light the Babylon Candle.
[there is a flash of light from inside the royal quarters, the camera then pans up to the sky where two brighter stars have appeared]
Narrator: and they still live happily ever after. (say awwww....) =)
I loved the ending of course! I want my happily ever after too. I'm such a hopeless romantic . . .
Better In Time - Leona Lewis
It's been the longest winter without you
I didn't know where to turn to
See somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through
Going
Coming
Thought I heard a knock?
Who's there?
No one.
Thinking that, I deserve it
Now I realize that I really didn't know
If you didn't notice, you mean everything
Quickly I'm learning, to love again
All I know is I'ma be okay
[Chorus:]
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time
I couldn't turn on the TV
Without something there to remind me
Was it all that easy?
To just put aside your feelings
If I'm dreaming, don't wanna laugh
Hurt my feelings, but that's the past
I believe it
And I know that time will heal it
If you didn't notice, boy you meant everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'ma be okay
[Chorus:]
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time
Since there's no more you and me
It's time I let you go
So I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is I'll be fine without you
Yes I will

This morning I woke up a little weary, not feeling like wanting to do anything. I was also a little disappointed from what happened. But I prayed and lifted my burdens to God. Today, I wondered how someone you love so much can hurt you so badly... But you know, it's precisely the person whom you love the most that has the potential to hurt you in the deepest way. So, be very careful who you give your heart to. :)
Sat is my fave day of the week cos I get to meet my lovely friends and have so much fun tgt and most importantly, Sat is when I get to go to church and meet with God. When I feel down, I get to church and I feel less burdened and set free. I experience His love and presence that is all so real and tangible. And one of the best things is that I receive the knowledge and wisdom to live my life better.
Above every heartache here
My God reigns
His love will never fail me
My God reigns
He's ruling over all
In all my life
In every situation, I know
My God is greater,
My God is over all
If there is anything that I've learnt in my life, it is that people may fail and disappoint me but God will never. Giving my heart to Him and being loved by Him is the best thing in my life ever. =)

I can really fully appreciate Katy Perry's Hot N Cold:
You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Yeah you, PMS
Like a bitch
I would know
And you over think
Always speak
Crypticly
I should know
That you're no good for me
(CHORUS)
Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(you) You don't really want to stay, no
(but you) But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
We used to be
Just like twins
So in sync
The same energy
Now's a dead battery
Used to laugh bout nothing
Now you're plain boring
I should know that
You're not gonna change
(CHORUS)
Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bi-polar
Stuck on a roller coaster
Can't get off this ride
You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Kudos to the song writer! I went to Youtube the music video and it's really quite funny and cute. Check it out! LOL.

Hahaha, I'm really glad I can actually laugh about it now. God has such a sense of humour I tell you. =D More than half the battle is won. Like 80% is won. =)
I'm proud of you Wendy! =) Wendy is a happy, happy girl! =)
I used Photobucket for the first time today!

I'm gonna have a fantastic time on Sunday with my fabulous friends! =)
Thank you Daddy, because your timing is always right and I realized that you are so very gracious towards me. Little did I know that you were protecting me all this while. I'm touched. :) You top it all. You are amazing!! =)

I cried again last night and this time it wasn't PMS-induced but genuine sadness that swept over me. I thought I had successfully overcame but when only a few words triggered such a flood of emotions from me, I realized I have not fully done so. Well, at least half the battle has already been won and the other half should be fairly easy now.
Jia you Wendy! Sadness has a refining influence and the pain serves to remind you never to make the same mistakes again! 19 more days and you'll be 21 already, smile! You're gonna have a great and bright future ahead! =)
Vann, thanks for standing by me. You're a great friend to have. And you did a great job with the photo, loves! =)

I laid on my bed to sleep but I had so many thoughts about this topic that I got up to blog about it. Have you wondered what are the indirect messages you send to others? Though they may be unintentional, the impact can be huge. Take for example, if an angry parent blows up and shouts at their child, he or she is indirectly telling the child that it is okay to shout at others when one is angry. I think any saint parent would not think that is right but nonetheless their action has already left a lasting negative impact on the child. When the child gets angry, he starts shouting at someone. Why? Because he saw it being done in front of him and learnt the behavior.
You know, most things that we learnt in life are often not taught but caught. I once asked Justin how do people learn best and he told me that people learn best by example. And it's true. Leaders are people who lead by example, they can say an essay long of words and it doesn't get into their people but one action and bam! , the message is sent across. If a leader does something good, he or she is sending 2 messages across. First, this is how you do it and second, this can be done (within reach and possible). How does a follower receive confidence that something they thought difficult can be done? When they see their leader achieve the seemingly impossible right in front of their eyes. However, the reverse is true. When a leader fails to do that something good, the followers receive these messages - it is not important to do it/okay not to do it or that it cannot be done.
I always felt that leadership is a huge responsibility and that it is not for the fainthearted. It means others can and you cannot. Others can compromise, but you cannot. Others can do whatever they like, but you just cannot. You hold yourself to a higher standard and that requires discipline, commitment and sacrifice. A friend once said this to me and it has stuck with me since, '' There are average leaders and there are great leaders. I want to be a great one. ''

My students cancelled tuition today... yet again! I'm supposed to tutor them 8 times a week but last month we only have tuition like 3 times? This means much lesser $$ for me. (-_-) This is the prob when you have only one source of income (not taking my allowance into acc)! The other day, my uncle just taught me about increasing finances and it was really quite educational. Even though my uncle doesn't hold a office job, he still has money coming every month from rent from different tenants . . . I need to work towards having multiple sources of income... money that keeps coming in even when u're not working for it. So far I can only think of 3 possible ones: 1. Salary 2. Rental of houses 3. Investments in stocks. What other sources of income are there? The rich gets richer and it's true! Money will grow more money...
My SOT friends, Gabriel and Benedict just called to ask me out for supper cos they stay near me... but I said no because SUPPER = FATS. I'll avoid supper as much as I can since I'm not hungry anyway. Of course if I had a body like Jessica Alba's, it wouldn't matter if I did eat supper but no I don't! Haha. Ask me out for breakfast people. =D
Hmmm... it's been 7 years since 9/11! How time flies! It feels just like yesterday when I turned on the tv and saw the collapsing of the twin towers...

I just came home from the funeral of Nicole, one of Annabelle's friends. I do not know her personally but I was there to lend our support with about 50 other choir members. Though celebrities like Sun Yanzi, Belinda and Utt were present at the service, it was of course not a time for any form of rejoicing about seeing them. Nicole had passed away after her battle with cancer and I guessed she was probably in her early 40s or late 30s, leaving behind a teenage daughter and her mother. Nicole was Sun Yanzi's vocal coach at one time and I guessed she must have been an extraordinary person and great friend because Sun Yanzi was clearly very sad at her departure.
What I took home tonight was really what Pst Ming said that sent tears welling up in my eyes, " At the end of the day, what is most important in life is relationships. So hug those people that you can hug now and spend time with those you can spend time with now... Tell them how much you love them. Tell them you want to have more coffees with them... ". It's no wonder that the bible says, 'Better to spend your time at funerals than at parties, after all, everyone dies - so the living should take this to heart. Sorrow is better than laughter, for sadness has a refining influence on us. A wise person thinks a lot about death, while a fool thinks only about having a good time.' (Ecc 7:2-4 NLT)
Even though I was attending a funeral of someone I do not know personally, I could feel the lost... Needless to say, I would be sorrowful if any of my friends were to pass away... I just pray that before anyone does, I would have the wisdom to treasure them with all my heart while I still can and let them know how much I love and appreciate having them in my life. Though I may be young and relatively healthy now, I know that life is unpredictable and it can be very fragile. I desire to travel around the world and to experience just what the big world out there is like but my mum would say that I can do that when I'm older and earning my own money... but the thing is what if I died tmr? And I wouldn't get to enjoy life in all it's fullness? And I don't get to fulfill my dreams while I'm still alive? How tragic would that be? So please, don't ask me to wait to be anything anymore. Allow me to experience life, experience what it means to be a human being, to see the world, to impact others, to love while I'm still alive and don't stop me, don't even ask me to wait because both you and I will never know how long more I have to wait.

And I wouldn't get to enjoy life in all it's fullness? And I don't get to fulfill my dreams while I'm still alive? How tragic would that be? So please, don't ask me to wait to be anything anymore. Allow me to experience life, experience what it means to be a human being, to see the world, to impact others, to love while I'm still alive and don't stop me, don't even ask me to wait because both you and I will never know how long more I have to wait.

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, Britney Spears won the Best Female Video, Best Pop Video and Best Video at the MTV Awards! And you know what the best part was? She finally thanked God again at receiving the Best Pop Video award! =) She used to always do that in the early years when she received awards at the start of her pop career but you know the story... then she turned to Kabbala at one time and her life just spiralled into a never-ending mess.Read divorce, breakdowns, drugs and more. BUT I think Britney Spears, the mama of 2 now, is finally coming back and righting the wrongs. Way to go girl! =) Miss American dream since she was 17! ;)
Britney Spears sweeps top honors at MTV video awards
AFP - Monday, September 8LOS ANGELES (AFP) - - Britney Spears enjoyed a triumphant return to the scene of one of her most humiliating public appearances here, scooping three top honors at the MTV Video Music Awards.
The pop icon suffered a critical mauling at the same awards show last year, when she stumbled and mimed her way through a performance that came amid turmoil in her private and professional life.
But a beaming Spears -- who appears to have got her career back on track in recent months after a seemingly endless series of lurid headlines -- cut a different figure as she accepted her honors here Sunday.
Spears won prizes for best female video, best pop video and video of the year for her single "Piece of Me" which took aim at the paparazzi who follow her every day.
It was the first time Spears had won a statuette at the MTV video awards despite 16 previous nominations.
"Thank God first and foremost for just blessing me like this, thank my beautiful family, my two beautiful boys for just inspiring me every day and my fans, this is for you. Thank you so much," Spears said after collecting her first award of the night.
Spears recently ended a custody dispute with ex-husband Kevin Federline regarding the couple's two young sons.
The Los Angeles-based singer lost custody of the children last year as her life unraveled in the full glare of a frenzied media.
She hit rock bottom in January when she was twice rushed to hospital for treatment in a psychiatric unit following fears for her mental health.
Spears shot to superstardom in late 1998 with her smash-hit debut album "Baby One More Time," which she followed with another chart-topping success the following year, "Oops! ... I Did It Again".
Gosh, when you're brutally honest with yourself . . . =X Yikes.
