"Will you do my eulogy?"
finally completed Have a Little Faith yesterday evening.
first time reading and completing a book at starbucks haha. with a grande white choc mocha~
as a free-thinker, i always find it hard to believe in god etc. i'm open to the teachings of religion but definitely not a devout believer.
just like Mitch, i always questioned, "if he was so sincere, why did that person face adversity all the time? how was He going to help mend the hole in the roof?"
i guess sometimes.. it's the mindset that these people have, together with their religion acting as a catalyst which empower them to become positive and optimistic individuals.
well, here are some takeaways:
1. Your god, our god - Faith tells people to do charitable acts and aid the poor, no matter who is the receiver.
2. What is there that forgiveness cannot achieve?
3. Anger - It churns you up inside. It does you more harm than the object of your anger.
4. Try again. (two simple words but we always find it so agonising to do)
5. When we miss them, look up. Know that they're watching over us.
this is not a post about religion, just a short reflection after reading the book.
i shall end with a quote from the book, "We who are born, are born to die."
sad fact, but very true.
however, it is up to us to decide the way we live, whether we want to live meaningfully or not. even if it's for a short time, be glad that we managed to come into this world, managed to touch others' lives.. :)
there's always enough time for procastination, but never enough for showing them your love.

perhaps a good hair day
"We want you for print advertisements, TV commercials, Editorials, Runways, Drama, Fashion Events, Corporate Videos and more..."
"We see people a little differently"
haha. and i thought it was the guy whose watch scratched against mine at ion.
good hair day? maybe.
or maybe i dressed weirdly (like what my friend suggested)
o wells, 顺其自然.. can a model be cultivated? i suppose anything's possible ;)
goodnite to all~

exams
opps i know i shouldn't b here. but, it's been so long since i last visited
my tiny shed.
time really flies. in the blink of an eye, it's already november! argh exam week too. lots of people say how lucky i am because i only have to sit for 2 papers - 15th & 18th Nov. (woots one down, one more to go) what they don't understand is, how difficult it is for me to familiarise myself with studying the nitty-gritty details of the language. what's more, sitting for 2.5 hour chinese papers. hahaha.
hmm, but no time to waste complaining. when life gives u lemons, SQUEEZE them! (o_o) lol. i'm very sure i wont b able to score an A in this sem. 不了解的实在太多了.. must mug hard for next sem!
certain unpleasant experiences happened to some people i know. just want to let them know, i'll always try my best to help in whatever way possible. it is always difficult to say goodbye, but what's most impt is keeping the pleasant memories in one's heart and think about them whenever one feels like. that was an advice which i received from my friend last time. i think it worked for me, over time.
finishing my chilli crab cup noodles. gotta finish it quickly n slp! prepare for friday's paper! sigh gotta apologise toT廖 for turning down her invitation to her house for gathering.. she sounded so sincere and nice..
“你有空吗？星期四有聚会，他们都会来我家。很难得的机会。”
after sending my "rejection sms", (sigh) she replied “没关系，考试重要。只是觉得有点遗憾，因为大家要安排一次聚会还真不容易。但你安心备考吧，考试只有一次。”my heart really sunk..
ah, oh my. getting late! g'nite everyone :)
cant wait for exams to end!

tired. enough.
how much more can we take?
fourth time already.
she even came over and started a drama. do u noe she labels u with a vulgarity? how dare she insult not only you, but us too. im nt sure if this has gt anythin to do wif her, or issit just ur lack of self-control.
pls, just stop this never-ending story. we're tired physically and even more so, emotionally.
i reali dont know how many more times before they totally give up.
i cant imagine how much pain they're feeling; how much tears have been shed.
is this worth it?
twenty plus years, all down the drain?
reflect on ur actions when you're sober. it seems no matter how much we say, it just cant get in. i can only hope that u'd gain a realisation someday. if we're not around, what would become of you?
-exhausted

捏
一个星期正式结束了。
知道我并不是孤军作战，感到非常欣慰。住在宿舍，人地生疏；希望我能够尽快适应。我想下星期渐渐认识更多新朋友，就不会有这种感觉了吧。
对，一定要对自己说：“我可以！” 哈.. 与其想那么多，不如做得更多。
嘿，我们还认识了丹麦和韩国的朋友呢。或许是同病相怜？哈哈 :b
ICT 功课，终于做完。啊，我的恶梦。*faints*
-明天会更好- 我每天都得这样想！

最后一课
P2/4
“喂。。安静啦！最后一课了。Shhh! ”
“我明天就去烧掉那间大学！” *嘻嘻*
哈，实在太可爱了。幸好我一开始便跟他们说那四个字。以前多（废）话、动作慢的学生都变乖了，异常地乖哈哈！希望他们永远记得 “遇到困难，不要轻易放弃，要坚持到底” 这句话。:)
P3/2
每当一开口说：“今天是我最后一天在 __ 因为我要到 __ 读书了” 就会觉得时间突然停止了。能够感受到他们的专注、认真。真希望我能够多留在这班，辅助3131来督促那几个学生。从他们的画、手工等，我见到他们的天分。
虽然不是读书的天才，但我相信他们都是可造之才！
P3/5
重踏进课室，发觉他们位置改变了，但他们的热情、笑容，是永不变的。:) 通知了以后，令我惊讶的是：平常不多话的宇腾突然走到我面前问我为什么不早点儿通知，要不然他还能够买份礼物送给我。哈.. 真的被感动到了。
希望每一只 “瓢虫夹子” 能带给他们我心里无限的祝福。学业进步，健康成长！
母语部门
哇.. T吴还用照相机的闪光来引我转头看他们。他们一大群走进来，脸上带着美丽的微笑。之后，校长还上来颁发纪念品给我。林老师便送我一个很贵的手提电话皮套。礼尚往来，我便给他们巧克力（当然T林与T杨另外各有一张卡片）。
“All the best!”
“恭喜你，要努力啊！”
“祝你一切顺利！”
Going back on the 25th. Must support my 深广班 “讲故事比赛”, esp when T杨 is nt arnd (off to her honeymoon woots)! Qi Nan, Qi Yun 加油！Hope i can inform her the GOOD news. A last parting gift to the class. 你们都是冠军 :)
Looking forward to tmw's Au Petit Salut! Finally!

他不在家
3rd day of the week without DADDY.. 撑住! haha. been wakin up at 0530hrs these few days just to catch bus 173 - mrt to JE - change - mrt to yishun. woots. hope he sees the "welcome back" fish cracker packet in his basket! lol. mum gt a shock when she saw food in dad's work basket. :b
i guess it's nt exactly a bad thing. managed to walk leisurely to sch. i kept remindin myself : i'm still early! y r u walkin so fast?! hahaha. i can even recognise a few familiar faces tt always take the same 173 as me lol. young n old ones. :)
自从加入3/2家族，发现有些现代孩子的生活真的很不幸。他们的家庭就好像电视剧常看到的，父母离婚、后父对孩子施不妥举动、孩子遭到原本应保护他们的哥哥姐姐的虐待。其实，他们是有无限的天资。他们只需要一个大人的耐心教导。还记得7月8日部门会议，办公室的员工突然进来跟主任说一个孩子吐血了，已通知父母亲但他们却说没空来看他。太离谱了...
3131说：“真的很谢谢你！幸好有你在，能够帮助这些比较慢的孩子。要不然，不知道他们几时才能跟上其他同学。” 其实，我应该谢谢 “缘分” 让我有机会与他们接触，让我至少在这一个月里能尽我能力来帮助他们。
white iphone4, cant wait!

傻瓜
你这样做，值得吗？
凌晨4点20分，我还以为自己踏入一场恶梦。你躺在那儿，一动也不动。身旁的她只顾着呼唤你起来。当时的我，忍着肚子的剧痛，边冒着冷汗、边为你擦掉从你嘴巴喷出的呕吐物。我都没察觉你的脚被玻璃碎割伤了。
我最后只能坐在那儿、看着你，确保你不再呕吐了。大人们发现后，心如刀割。隔天，还被年长的他看到我眼眶泛泪的一幕。:'(
请你忘了她吧。我们都很爱你、珍惜你。她呢？真不知大人们还能够再承受多少次打击。这已经是第三次了。你答应再也不会有下一次，希望你能遵守这个诺言。拜托。
我想，2011年的6月将会深深地刻印在我脑海里。感觉 ... ... 仿佛尝尽了生活的酸甜苦辣。如果这就是所谓当成人的代价，我索性不要长大。

什么叫断章取义，什么叫曲解？
今日，本本同学看了“什么叫断章取义，什么叫曲解——你被骗了多少年？”一文，并大发感慨。
原文中有这样一段话：
书山有路勤为径，学海无涯苦作舟
这句话出自庄子的“吾生有崖，而知无崖。”一向被尊为金科玉律。
但原句：“吾生有崖，而知无崖，以有崖求无崖，殆哉矣 (dai4 zai1 yi3)。”- 矣指的是‘已经’，是一种助词。意思是：人的生命是有限的,知识是无限的,用有限的生命去追求无限的知识,那是很危险的。也就是说，庄子真正想表达的是：生命有限，不该没完没了地去追无限的知识。
本本同学大喜，于是开始抨击中国的教育体制，原话的大意是：你看中国的教育就是断章取义，然后曲解加洗脑；学校里教条主义的教育，步入社会就被大染缸所污染。
不否认本本同学的话有一点道理，但更多的只是一副愤世嫉俗的洒脱。
其实“书山有路勤为径，学海无涯苦作舟”是出自韩愈的。对于“吾生有崖，而知无崖，以有崖求无崖，殆哉矣。”这句话，我在网上还看到有这样的解释：
我的生命是有限的，但是知识是无穷无尽的。我要以我有限的生命去寻求无限的知识，即使死了也知足了。
到底哪种解释更贴切呢？不好说，因为仅仅就这句话是不够的，应该再看看原文
“吾生也有涯，而知也无涯，以有涯随无涯，殆己！已而为知者，殆而已矣。为善无近名，为恶无近刑，缘督以为经，可以保身，可以余生，可以养亲，可以尽年。” 出自《庄子·养生主》，其含义为：
人的生命是有限的，而知识是无穷的，以有限的生命去追求无穷的知识，就会搞得精疲力竭。养生的人不会为了追求名声而刻意去做好事，更不会为了触犯刑律而去做坏事，把顺着自然规律，做为处事的法则，就可以保护生命，保全天性，可以养护精神，享尽天年的。
可以看出庄子是一个追崇顺其自然，清净无为的洒脱人物，他认为人吃个饭，饱了就行，没什么必要追求奢华，穿个衣，别冻着就行，实在不需与什么人攀比。他这句话的含义不是求学而是养生，所以我个人认为句里的“知”，不应该理解为知识，而是更广的事物，当然我不是学史的，无法考证。不过本本同学自己也断章取义了一会，搬起石头砸自己的脚。

maybe not so 夸张吧.

virgin post
Hello there. :)
Can't believe i finally started a blog after.. decades? lol! i always felt it's reali tedious to create one (which is true to a certain extent. tried changing e blogskin but to no avail. -.-) hence i jus refused to start one. hmm.. after much coaxing from friends, finally decided to create my own { tiny shed }
I guess this would be a more private and enclosed space as compared to facebook, and i hope it'd b an avenue for us to learn from each others' life experiences. wanted to name my blog 'my tiny world' but decided shed would signify a place for rest n rejuvenation. <3
Mentoring at Evergreen Bees, 9Mar 2011 was an enriching experience for me, esp since i'm gonna b a chinese teacher soon! ohmygawd~ haha. gave english tuition to a mentee named David. realised he had much difficulty reading eng words although he understood wad i was sayin. sigh. he knew his weakness was recognising long words and tried v hard by reading comprehension passages n qns aloud, w/o me requesting him to. :) Play session allowed me to understand more about this child, who has deep interest in cooking and drawing. i guess everyone is indeed talented in a way or another.
Reflection session for mentors allowed us to share w ea other the various methods we used, probs faced, n even ways to improve the childrens' learning. i raised e issue of children like David needing someone to be beside to prompt n guide e individual esp when it comes to reading texts, underlining each syllable of a word would greatly improve their reading skills. I wish him all e best be it in his academic studies, his burning passion for cooking, or his talent in art. :)
Went shopping for awhile wif Maxie at Orchard Central. ohmy. $96 cufflinks?! haha tt's reali generous of him, as always. :) i simply adored 'the black market' . designs were reali unique thr. guess i do miss e blue singlet afterall :b
Met mum at 313 for dinner~ yummy 肉搓面 frm food republic~ managed to get belt n socks frm taka (vouchers, yay!).
Ohman. my butt hurts aft sitting so long in front of lappy. HAHA!
Till we meet agn. :)
p.s. sigh.. my bracket broke last nite (mus b the crab daddy daobao-ed frm Jumbo at Dempsey). dr Ho only in office tmw morning. :c
