Everything that I am not, made me everything that I am.

The Little Things That Make Life Worth Living

Sometimes I emo so much, that I forget to appreciate the people and little things that make life worth living. This one's for the people who pick me up when I fall down, the people who are always there for me, the people who make me feel wanted, the country that makes me feel safe.

I was crushed when the C Maths results came back. I was nowhere near the top. Lucas hugged me, and told me everything's gonna be alright, and other stuff. That little thing meant a lot to me.

Throughout the worst moments of my life, there are always people there for me. Maybe its a phone call, maybe its just talking to each other in person, or just a message on this blog. Like "It wasn't so bad, cheer up". Thanks especially Nicholas and Joel Toi.

There are people who always seem happy to see me. Thanks, especially Joel Ong :)

I am wanted by a lot of people. Today Ms Ong Wei Ling came with an offer to learn from a commercial biotech company. I wanted to go, but was already with Daniel's electric fish project. She went out of her way to convince Mr Jason Chan (thanks for being understanding :) ) to let me quit that project for this one. I really appreciate that. (Left Jon Tang in the lurch alone with Daniel and ummm... someone else :) Muahahahaha)

I may be overbooked and extremely busy. But I realized that makes me feel wanted :) Its a good thing

Total Defence Day meant more to me than just missing some lessons. It reminded me of all the things that I remember the most about Singapore. The feeling of being safe. The streetlights that light my way home. Literally. Because I came back very late today, and it was really late when I was walking from bus stop. There were a lot of other things about Singapore that mean a lot to me. It gave me a reason to give my all in NS.

The noise of people talking on the train made me happy. People still care about one another.

I realize how lucky I am, comfortable home, fetched to school by mum every morning. 

Thank you everyone, there's too many people to list all here, for writing the happiest memories in the story of my life.

Finally he realises. Sorry, couldn't resist.

C Maths, as long as you believe you can achieve above that crucial mark, you will survive. There is nothing exceptionally difficult in C Math, just ask a friend to help.

Sometimes it helps to reflect, and look back. Something many people refuse to do. Although we should not wallow in the past, it is nevertheless important to understand previous scenarios.

Take a step back to look at your footprint, the people who you have affected. The people who have changed your thinking for the better, and how you will never return to past ways. It is important to understand. Forcing information on yourself (or others) never helps, reflection is best done voluntarily (hypocrisy!).

Also, Allister, another word - Skype.
