" I believe there are 2 ways of writing a story. One is making a post of musical comedy and ignoring real life together; the other is going deep down into life and not caring a damn." wodehouse, author.
This, ladies and gentleman, is my new motto in life. Not that i have had prior mottos, but this one is one that i find can adequately express where i am. What this means, is that, we got to take everything with a pinch of salt, heartily with laugther and amusement. When we ask too much, we frown too much, we attempt to 'work at our lives' too much, it becomes one big misery and tragedy. Wodehouse is trying to say, some authors tend to dwell too deep into the melancholy of life and leave the reader there, helpless and hopeless.
So yes to comedies and hilarity. No to anger and bitterness.
A very meaningful period of time has passed. And a very exciting one ahead!
1) Major squabble at home over some minor misunderstanding! I blew it out of proportions for no legitimate reason. Bad of me. Good lesson learnt the hard way. Trust, forgiveness, love and humility.
2) Isolation in camp. Not my fault, but painful lesson. Lesson? To always talk. Communicate; silent is more often seen as a quiet surrender, than confidence. Any misunderstanding, must be communed. 2nd lesson- to find my independence & security with God. People will always put you down, and bring you misery- your job is to find peace and happiness.
3) Chat with Val. Not the happiest. But we do learn somehting dont we? Give and take. Let's all learn that how we see things, is how WE see it. Change the 'seeing', and you're a happier man.
4) Atec
! Crazy 3 missions. walk like crazy, and ran outta water! BUT managed to finish Imitation of Christ by Thomas Kempis (240806), and very very happy that i managed to complete the mission. Keep looking back from my 1st BMT days, how i loathed it, and then how i wanted to leave everything, how i decided to keep everything and pushed on. Everything's possible! From 'i cant run', to 'i managed to complete this distance without stopping' to 'i managed to finish this distance in that timing!' Wow, thank you God, but you made me a very happy person.
5) The 3 books i finished! Other than the 1 mentioned above(which took about 2-3 yeas to finish!) Before that, we have Dawn by Elie Wiesel (010806) about the deep remorseful thoughts about a freedom fighter about to execute a british hostage. Quite sad and is really absorbing. Very short read, but if i am not wrong, the author won a Nobel Prize for it la. So anyway, got to read the next 2. Then, there is Idenity by the-author-i-keep-bloggin-about Milan Kundera. As much as i enjoyed all his novels, this might be the last. Exploring other pastures, This story is quite simple and very very enjoyable. Its a typical Milan Kundera novel, but people, it is a fantastic read. Simply, 2 people who are in a relationship, question their very purposes in it and ask whats love all about? Loved it.
6) AHM on sunday with Alvin and whoever decided to go. I enjoy running and running
somewhere in town is quite an enjoyable experience! Dunno about going liquid room on satuday tho. And look like this! FUN & my 1st experience with the 'drunk' me.
7) Who wants to watch Snakes on a Plane starring Samuel L.JAckson, or Lucky number Slevin ( with a powerful cast of Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Josh Hartnett and Lucy Liu), or Devil Wears Prada. How exciting! 3 3-stars-or-more movies waiting for me to catch. Just gotta go borrow soemthing that says i am 21 years or older.
8)The Endless possibilities from today! Beginning with my new found motto! Then, because atec's over, i have certain goals from now till ORD. These endless possibilities give me time to fulfil these goals- because i have yet to decide which are the ones i wanna work on, simply because there are so many! HOnestly, i more or less know la. I just have to find the drive to work on them.
9) Da jie's birthday! Ok, though we went through a little rough time, i still really hope to make this a special one for her. Dunno la, just hope it works and she's happy.
10) ok, this has GOT TO BE IN CAPS. S A N F R A N C I S C O. with dad and jie. 2 weeks time. And im really praying for it to be a beautiful time. Im sure it will be and have been looking forward to it ever since the planning stages. even bought a book called 'san francisco for dummies' la. But, the book's probably be on the shelf for some time.:)
10 things to thank God for. The musical comedy begins today...the 25th of Aug 2006. Where cries end and smiles begin; where i will kill cynicism with humour, disappointment with hilarity, and anger with amusement! Yay to the arcade God just introduced me to.
