Changes

Change is the very nature of life, welcome it. No glass ever became sand again; No bread ever became wheat; No ripened fruit ever became a flower. Welcome change, and choose what kind of glass you create, what kind of bread you bake, what kind of fruit you harvest.

Life is full of changes, recently I noticed so am I. They are so many reasons for the changes in me. Now I felt that I myself is very unpredictable. The question to 'Who Am I" is yet to be answered.
Changes in life may due to a lot of different reasons. However I cherished each of them.
Case 1: I used to like Chipsmore a lot when I was a kid and I hated Oreos. But now I like Oreos but no longer craves for Chipsmore. Now I realised our likings will change with time. Nothing is for certain always. There is no such thing as forever so never believe or make promises one can never keep.
Case 2: When I was Form 4, I was head over heels for TVXQ. I would spent hours downloading their albums and music videos, keep to date all their news and everything I do would relate to them somehow. Now that I had grown up, there is no more time and spirit for idolisation. I know I have more to accomplish rather than wasting all my time on five guys who no doubt can sing and perform greatly but have nothing to do in my life. I would not say that I have matured much, but at least I can think better and have better hold and vision of my life's purpose. Time will mold a person into better individual. So don't look back at things we cannot change, instead look into the future.
Case 3: Last time I would never listen to Jay Chou. However after listening to his music I found that they are indeed nice and meaningful. I learn that we must change our mindset so that we can accept new things and never let our thinking lingers the same old box. We must give ourselves the chance to think out of the box as well as accept and experienced new things in our life.

Nobody stays the same for their whole life. We would go through different stages in life where we meet different people and face different situations. Situations we had never encountered nor even imagined. We will learn about the dark sides people never showed. We learn to think differently and not trusting everything we see. We will also learn to be strong and less naive. We have to keep our true feelings in disguise and never show our weaknesses. This may be hard and tiring to hold on.
But remember, God is everything to us. He is the sole reason for us to keep hanging on and he will be with us through every sorrows and joy. So we must be the clay and allow God to mold us. After the shaping and burning of the fire, we will turn from the shapeless and soft clay into a strong, beautiful vase.

Lost And Found

Today is the day the result for second semester is unleashed. Early morning I woke up with no special feeling, neither anxious nor worried. Its like I am having no expectation for anything.
I signed in to Facebook, few posted regarding their result. Not really interested honestly. No one else would do worse than I did. So i proceed to check mine. Overall my result did improved. But still its not a graceful one. More hard work needed for next semester.
Suddenly a thought swept over. Life is all about give and take, lost and found. One can never own everything, yet nobody will not be left with nothing.
Last semester I had cut down my activities, though lots of time still lost doing unnecessary things, but the fact is I put more effort and I did reap what I sow. I spent less time enjoying, so my result improved.
Few year ago my teacher lost her husband due to cancer. This is no doubt a great lost to her. But through this, she felt God's undying love for her and her family and yearn for God. In the end she converted to being a Christian.
I believe that when a door is closed, God opens another one for us. Sometimes we thought that we know what we want in life, what we need, and we'll grumble when we don't get what we asked for. But its God that knows whats best for us and he will always give us what is best. His grace is sufficient for us.

爱就对了

SHE - 爱就对了

词:施人诚
曲:洪信杰

总是要留一些滚烫热泪
才能换来对爱的体会
你看 世界没有毁灭 心也没有碎
其他的就交给时间解决

你当然可以从新再爱
受过伤的更懂怎样爱与被爱
所以 别再沉溺有他的回忆
有空再回忆 离开你的只有他但是爱还在

我当然经历过你现在的感受
我想那是人必经的折磨
也许 每个人都该是某个人 成长的助手
受一点苦痛帮助他成熟

别探听他的线索 别等待他会回头
爱 不喜欢看人软弱
别继续把心封锁 别躲在伤心里头
爱 万一来了别错过

听我说 爱是对的 错的是我们
还没学会爱 就急着爱人 而爱错人
可是 爱就对了 遇到下一个
爱上就对了 痛苦或快乐 都是获得

听我说 爱是对的 错的是我们
自以为懂爱 才会又爱人 又伤害人
可是 爱就对了 爱了就值得
爱这门功课 艰深但快乐 爱就对了

爱 万一来了别错过

Books

Recently I am so into reading. My new hanging place, Borders. Hehe... Totally comfortable ambiance for reading and relaxing after days of cloudy mind. A place for me to take a breathe and stay far from the hustle and bustle at home.
After much consideration, I've bought two new books. What The Dog Saw by Malcolm Gladwell and Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely. Hope I can benefit and enjoy both books.

时间

夜深人静,我又失眠了。最近脑子想了好多好多的事情。

曾经有人告诉我,时间是最好的解药。我果真体会到了。它让我从以前的影子里走了出来。
突然觉得人的感情好脆弱。两个人的感情可以随着时间慢慢建立起来,但却会随着时间的流逝很快地转淡了。
有时我根本想不起,甚至不敢相信我们曾经那么爱着对方。原来我真的成了你生命中一个小小的角色,但你会是我人生中重要的过客。

那天朋友突然问我,想你了吗?我想了好久,竟然不知道答案是什么。
不知是你在避开我,还是真的很忙,又或许你真的跟我没什么好聊了,都不重要。这段期间的零交流真的把你变成了我最熟悉的陌生人。

才发现原来我是有复原能力的。
才发现原来我一点都不脆弱。
我的眼泪不会再流了。
我的心也不会再痛了。
我已经再次熟悉了一个人的感觉。
我又再回到那没有你的日子。

原来,时间真的是最好的忘情水。

Taken For Granted

So many things that happened lately makes me ponder. Why can some people live life happily and fruitfully though their life's condition is no better or even worse than mine. Why do some people living in a mansion with tonnes of cash but never really smile from their heart.
All these days I had been ruminating. I realised this one thing. I had been taking a lot of things for granted. I was given a lot and never really know to appreciate or show my appreciation.
Life is not all about accepting. It involves giving as well. To serve and not to be served.
I took my family for granted, especially my dad. He is not a man of words, but his action shows he loved me deeply, trying to please and fulfill my will. I took for granted because I knew he would love me the same always and I will not lose my dad.
I took God for granted. When I was lost and helpless, I seek God for comfort and advise. God is always there for me. Holding me tight, giving me comfort, loving me always. But now that I am getting better, I start to lose myself again, forgetting that God should be the first priority in life.
I took time for granted, wasted the time before doing nothing.
I've seen people who show no appreciation, in fact lack of gratitude towards people and life. All of a sudden, they are like a mirror, reflecting myself no different from them.
From this moment onwards I want to try my very best to change myself and blame no one for everything that happened to me. I wan to appreciate everything I am given in life. I don't want to wait till I miss them and regret then.
Don't wait till you lose it only to learn to appreciate. Take hold of all the opportunities you are presented now.
Life has no repetition.

Who Am I

It is a new month, with a new me. I wouldn't say I am a turned over person, but at least I have new vision, a new mind set, looking and hoping for the future in a brand new way.
Have you ever felt that the more you look into yourself, the more you realised you don't know yourself. This is what happens to me now. It's like I don't even understand what kind of a person I am. I don't really know what expectation I should set up for myself, whether I will be able to live it out. In a nutshell, I don't understand myself.
Whether time is going to tell, or do I have to go through more life experiences or I just simply change from time to time. I guess that's up to me to ponder.
This is a hillsong I liked a lot. About God's love for us no matter how weak or meek we are. We are strong not because of who we are or what we do. We are strong because we are God's children and he loves us.

Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

Not because of who I am
But because of what you've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who you are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapour in the wind
Still you hear me when I'm calling
Lord you catch me when I'm falling
And you told me who I am
I am yours

Whom shall I fear
I am yours...
