1 day after Christmas!! Bet a lot of you guys still receiving nice present hor!!! The reason why the title for today is " School holiday " is cause i went to school today... YUP!! During the SCHOOL HOLIDAYS, i went to SCHOOL, to do WORK! How nice right...^^
Just only yesterday, Choon Wei got me to call him ( waste my precious credit ) so he could tell me to be in school by 9 to have breakfast with him... Got up at 8.15, did the all usual stuff everyone does ( if you don't, i think you need some major hygiene lessons ) I think the song we use to sing goes...
Bangun pagi,
Gosok gigi,
Cuci muka,
Pakai baju... and etc... ( thou shall forgive me for i forgot the song XD )
Poem of today...
Daily things we do,
Like going to the loo,
Has become such a habit,
We won't become dirty rabbits.
On my way to school,
I try to stay so cool,
To find a buddy missing,
Telling me McD is where we're meeting.
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tickety, TOCK,
Reading my book as still as a rock,
Here comes my buddy,
Ever so tardy.
A meal we call,
My money falls, ( belanja ma )
Chit, chat, eat, chit, chat, eat,
Doing it is like a beat.
Diabetes he longs to get, ( 2 creamer and 2 sugar packets )
While he worries to get fat, ( " Mayo very fattening " )
Jeanny comes in a while along,
While her phone plays a song.
Back to school,
We work in twos,
Hoping to finish,
The work the teacher banished??
Lunch, lunch, lunch,
2 subway sandwiches we munch,
Each taking 6 inches,
Then to buy some fishes, ( To feed Jean's big fish... sad right )
Basketball, basketball,
Lucky i did not fall,
Blisters i got from running without shoes,
I wonder which is worse, blisters or bitten by a goose...
Off to Jean's house we walk,
Along the way we talk,
After a short while,
I bid farewell and rode a mile.
Oookay, some parts are weird... well, i am writing this on the spot so how the heck can it be good right ^^ SEE YA!! I will be off to Ipoh for breakfast tomorrow then off the Taiping to spend the night... Next day, Langkawi HERE I COME!!! And on the 30th Ipoh beansprouts wait for me!! and 31st HOME SWEET HOME!!!
HAPPIE HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!
Lotsa love, :+: Su_mEi :+:

Blessed Cwishmasss!!
HoHoHo!! MEWWIE CWISHMAS!!
Got up today at like 7 in the morning as Ms Alliyza told me to be in church at 8 to help with F&B food packing... went to church to find her not there... she came bout 10-15 mins late... ^^ was packing and packing food until my stomach hurt like mad... why?? cause the very smart me decided to not eat breakfast before going. We finished packing at about 9.30 and by that time, the whole auditorium was full including Hall 3... We ( Alliyza, Michelle and I ) had to sit outside at the Cafe... And i was conviniently sitting facing the air-cond! I was freezing and on top of that my water was cold ( to fill my stomach )... Lydia soon came to join us and we talked and talked and well, listened a bit i guess ^^ I was also smsing Choon Wei because he was suppose to drop by in which he did not...
After a while, the clowns came out to Concourse 1 and 2... i called Daryll ( 1 of the clowns ) over as i wanted to ask him if it is even possible to find him later to give him his present... He came over and taunted me... I HATE CLOWNS!! They are freaky and scary... BRRRR!!!
Once celebration was over, People Hunt began! It was super hard to find certain people... and i felt so short at that very time when 2,000 over people was walking around me... The only head i could see popping out from the crowd was Daryll's as he was wearing ultra colourful wig and he is tall... So... hunt hunt hunt hunt hunt hunt hunt hunt!!!HUNT!!!
Finally knock down the numbers to find to 2 adults left, Uncle Jit ( just found out he is still in Singapore ) and A. Vivi!!! find them next time...
Either way it was enjoyable in some sorta way! XD... Plus, it is quite impossible to get angry and christmas day as it is one of the most joyous and giving day!! So....
BLESSED CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!

Continuation of " It was my birthday?? "
... As i promised i am continuing my post...
At Jeannette's House ( sleepover )
I reached her house and got my stuff into her room. Then i passed her and Mellisa ( sister ) their Christmas presents as i did not want to go hunting for them on Christmas day. WHEEE!! We took turns taking a bath as we reeked of BBQ and smoke smell... quite a heavenly smell if i may add... but smelling it makes me more hungry so no point if i cannot find food later... Jeannette passed me my present and told me not to open till 12 midnight... We chit chatted ( like what girls do )till midnight where i opened my present and found this cute phone chain if i would call it... it glows in the dark you know ( will get photos in soon )...and they both wished me happy bday!! i am finally 16 after 1 whole year... XD We continued the night by just talking and talking till Jeannette fell asleep... i did receive some sms in the morning at an unreasonable time though
Next day, we were suppose to get up at 9.30 but Mr Tan Choon Wei called and i got up so i was up... i day dreamed and turn and toss and fell to the floor but other than that i was up... at 11 Jeannette was still not up so i decided to wake her up... We got dressed and then cycled to Mellisa's school ( SK BU4 ). The ride there was so wonderful i managed to get my knee scraped and palms too... Imagine... I stopped the bike cause i was off balance and then I start laughing and in slow motion fall off the bike and ZOOOOM by goes a car... ( i haven't ridden one in like how many years!! ) That's the story of my first few injuries for my bday. How wonderful.
We reached the school and for those who know Mellisa Kuek, you know how tall she is ( still shorter than me )... The school guard refused to let her into the school thinking that no she cannot be 11 years old.. she has to be in secondary school which was so wrong... Bought her books after discussing with the PAK CIK and we cycled home.. i changed to a more high tech bike and reached home safely...
We took baths and then i was playing with my hair on how to tie it... Well... in the end Jean had her fun tying it... Thx girl! Man... she is so straight that i think she could even use a ruler to make sure that one plait was equally as far from the center parting as the other... and use a weighing machine or measuring tape to make sure the thickness was the same... PHEW! We got ready and called the taxi and went downstairs and saw... AARON LAU!
He was strumming the guitar in some song i could not recognise or did not take the effort to... I was cycling on the exercise bike while Jean told Aaron of how i fell off a bicycle. THX JEAN! Taxi reached and off we hopped to The Curve.
We walked a bit as we were early and then off to Marche for lunch with the cg members!! But no one there yet... Darn... so we went to go check out movie times as we wanted to watch... guess... YES... YES MAN!! no i mean the show YES MAN!! anyway... we checked the time and walked back to Marche... and found some other friends, so we decided to go in. After waiting awhile the rest came. We started to order our food. I took chicken chop with mashed potato and a glass of lemon juice. Costs RM23.30 all together... Imagine that... I warned Debbie and Eunice about not wanting to find a cake in front of me and guess what, i found CUPCAKES! They decided that cupcakes are not cakes... they are cupcakes... Well, i was shy but i loved the cupcakes... THX EUNICE ( Peh ) for the cupcakes!! love them!!
We ate, took photos, had gift exchange and went out separate ways. I went to watch movie with Aaron, Jean, Ian (BU) and his girlfriend... The show was super lame and funny... PEOPLE! if you don't laugh at the show... you gotta see a doctor man!! Once the show ended, i decided to spend the rest of the day with my family! So i went back and me and my family went for dinner at a place of my choice. So my dad suggested Secret Recipe! and DUH I WANT MY LASAGNA!!( forgive me if i spelled it wrongly )I ate the same thing last year though ^^ So we ate and i went home and spent the rest of the night in front of my lovely computer which i am at the moment using.
Thats about it for now... will type more later and yups!! SMELL YA!! ( oookay... thats too lame =.=" )

Dance dance dance~~~
It has been just a few months since I participated in my first dance competition and also 18 days since i participated in my second!! ^^
The first dance competition was really fun ^^ It was a lil competition among my classmates ( dance ) and I ^^
From left : Nicole, Johnston, Coco, Stanley, the two lil gurls ^^, Natalie,
Bernard, Joy, David, Me , and Kenneth.
2 Reasons why we joined this mini thingy :~
i) To gain a new experience
ii) To entertain the guest at the Lion's Club Dinner Gathering ^^
Oh yes, this whole competition was purely latin. Just Cha Cha and Jive. ^^ Belman had make us practice over and over again... it was breathtaking and i mean really breathtaking as by the time we finished we were totally gasping for air... ^^ Before leaving for the place, a few of us had our make up on already ( one of em ) We got to the place and WOW!! The dance floor was really ' BIG '.... =.="... i mean it sarcastically... The people there were so stingy they did not want to on the air conditioner so we had to practice in that small area of floor in such heat!
People started coming in... very slowly so we all had to go back to the waiting room. We had touched up our make up and changed. Due to our item being one of the last few, we had to wait quite a while with NO DINNER!! foooooddddd~~~ sobx.... The guys got bored and started to play ' chi-ku-pak '... ( i don't know how to spell but pronounce it as u see it ) the loser was dared by the winner at the end of every round. It was really funny to see the guys doing funny funny things. Later on they started to play volleyball using their palms and a bottle i think. =.=".. wasting all their energy but they managed to warm up playing that funny game. ^^
Fast foward!! It was time to go compete!!!!!! Alot of them were sweating like crazy. I as per usual was slightly nervous yet excited ^^ hehe ^^ so on the floor we went!! Oh NOOOO!! Bernard and Natalie took our spot!!! NOOO!!! sigh~~ guess we have to move a little... was a lil worried that we might bang into them. But we did not!! ^^ The whole dance thing was like over in a split second!!!
We got back to the room all exhausted... now we started to worry bout the results but overall we were glad everything was over!! WHEEEEEEE!!
An hour later~~~~ * heart beating like really fast * The time is here... the time is now... We were called on stage!! I was a little nervous though i think it did not really show... ^^... however... when the MC pronounced my name wrongly i was so tempted to correct that person... GRRRRRRRRRRR!!! On my way up i kinda decided that i gained alot of experience here and i think that satisfied me more than enough ( i am pretty easy to please in a way )... ^^ They announced the 6th place... 5th place...4th place... and just by that i was overjoyed!! I did not think i would make the top 3!! XD i was seriously very very very happy i nearly cried but of course i did not... 3rd place.... by that time i was shivering... not because i was nervous but with excitement and satisfaction!! Wow!! I got 2nd placing!! I was really happy!!!
After being released from the stage some problem aroused but it was well taken care of ^^ I was very thankful and i thank God the most!! ^^ I prayed everyday that he would help me improve and that He would be my pillar of support and He was... ^^ i could feel His presence around me and i could imagine already, the wide smile on His face congratulating me ^^ I really wanted to cry tears of happiness ^^ but i decided not too =P... We had photo sessions and then the floors were open~~ We danced and danced and when it was time to go back everyone was dead tired by then ^^
From left : Belman ( Latin teacher ) , C.Y. , A. Joanne ( Ballroom teacher )
Nicole, Johnston, Coco, Stanley, 2 lil kids, Natalie, Bernard, Joy, David,
Me and Kenneth.

All Alone...
Sitting at the corner alone,
With my feelings still unknown;
Children running all around,
While chains and locks I do they bound.
Laughter and giggles can I hear,
With nobody anywhere near;
How I wish to laugh along,
But I am left to sing alone a song.
Only colours and papers to be with me,
Where I can pour out my feelings you can't see;
Moody and unsociable I am you think,
But a fact in your head does not sink.
Envy and jealousy is my game,
But anger and unsociability is my fame;
To be understood is what I wish,
But it is like bare hands catching a fish.
We did not have A, B, C,
To choose our lives you see;
This is how we autistic feel,
With our feelings within a seal. ~ Su Mei
Hey, don't get the wrong idea here. I am so not autistic. I just decided to try out if i can write in another person's point of view that not many can see. The first stanza tells us about how autistic people or to be more specific autistic kids feel. They sometimes feel that they are bound to walls with chains and locks so tightly that there is no way to break free. The chains and locks represent the difficulty in expressing. The second stanza is very closely connected to this as the persona sees and hears people laughing and giggling. However, because he is bound by his difficulty in expressing he can't show any sign of laughter. It is as though you want to run to the other wall on the opposite side but because you are chained to the wall, you can't move not a single step. The persona says he is left to sing alone a song because people think he is unsociable so they leave him out of the group.
In stanza 3, it tells us of the ways these autistic people express their feelings. It is a stated fact in life that when you loose something, you gain something else. In this poem it tells us that the persona is talented in drawing and through his drawings will you experience his inner thoughts. Autistic people are mostly gifted in either music, art and so on. They do not have the ability to express inner thoughts but they have something else instead. Because they cannot use words to express, therefore they use music and art to express it. Amazing right. ^^
Stanza 4, I am not stating that these autistic children are devilish and only know how to be jealous of others. I am stating the feelings they have sometimes towards others. They are jealous of the other normals kids that are able to laugh, cry, show anger. They are jealous because they can't express it well. They want to but can't. They only wish to be understood by other people. But it is a fact that sometimes we think we understand an autistic person but in actual fact you don't.
Finally, the persona says that he and his fellow autistic people did not have any choice. They were brought into the world like that and there is nothing that can change that fact.

Finally, the persona says that he and his fellow autistic people did not have any choice. They were brought into the world like that and there is nothing that can change that fact.
Autism (say: aw-tih-zum) causes kids to experience the world differently from the way most other kids do. It's hard for kids with autism to talk with other people and express themselves using words. Kids who have autism usually keep to themselves and many can't communicate without special help.
They also may react to what's going on around them in unusual ways. Normal sounds may really bother someone with autism — so much so that the person covers his or her ears. Being touched, even in a gentle way, may feel uncomfortable.
Kids with autism often can't make connections that other kids make easily. For example, when someone smiles, you know the smiling person is happy or being friendly. But a kid with autism may have trouble connecting that smile with the person's happy feelings.
A kid who has autism also has trouble linking words to their meanings. Imagine trying to understand what your mom is saying if you didn't know what her words really mean. It is doubly frustrating then if a kid can't come up with the right words to express his or her own thoughts.
Autism causes kids to act in unusual ways. They might flap their hands, say certain words over and over, have temper tantrums, or play only with one particular toy. Most kids with autism don't like changes in routines. They like to stay on a schedule that is always the same. They also may insist that their toys or other objects be arranged a certain way and get upset if these items are moved or disturbed.
If someone has autism, his or her brain has trouble with an important job: making sense of the world. Every day, your brain interprets the sights, sounds, smells, and other sensations that you experience. If your brain couldn't help you understand these things, you would have trouble functioning, talking, going to school, and doing other everyday stuff. Kids can be mildly affected by autism, so that they only have a little trouble in life, or they can be very affected, so that they need a lot of help.
But, a person is still a person, no matter how insignificant or how different he can be, he has feelings. We as normal people shouldn't be cold to them but instead welcome them with warm arms. We get frustrated when we are not understood so imagine their pain.

My FIRST JOB at WWF in year '07! Was I lucky or unlucky?
Cool breeze from the air conditioners above me,
Oh, in the cold, shivering are my knees,
The rough surfaces of the tiles under me,
Dragging your feet, you will hear the sound of bees,
To my left, i see files and files,
The sight of them takes away the smiles,
Staring out the clear windows,
I see a busy car park down below,
I hear a bird chirping,
But overpowering it are the sounds of honking,
Busy, Busy, Buzzing employees,
Their fingers type with speed on the keyboard keys,
But worse of all, to my right, the stacks of shirts waiting to be packed,labeled and sent,
Oh, the pain felt from the 'dent' on my head.
"This will be a piece of cake, i will have no problems, that sounds very easy," these were some of the sentences i would say to myself when i was offered a job by WWF to help package their shirts to be sent all around Malaysia. You do know what WWF is don't you? Well, if you don't, i will tell you.It stands for World Wide Fund for Nature. Thats right! What i feel about nature is like what a mouse feels for CHEESE!
Anyway, back to the original topic for today. My cousin who is an employee at WWF came up to me one point in time recently to offer me a job at WWF. She said all i had to do was package all the shirts that were ordered from all around Malaysia. Hearing the sound of money, my ear immediately erased part of the sentence mentioning that the orders were from all around Malaysia. It is not that I just love money but I just enjoy getting as much as I can so that I won't have to always depend on my parents when i want something. Plus, i have never worked in that kind of office so i thought why not give it a shot. That was the beginning of my misfortune.
I went to work on the first day, i saw the Pyramids of Giza when i looked to my right and saw the stack of shirts to be packed. My mouth had already fallen to the ground, but i decided that maybe i should not judge the toughness of this job by just looking at the pile of shirts i have to pack, so i just picked up my mouth and started working. At the end of my first day, being a 'slightly' hot headed person, i started complaining. I complained about the List of orders not being in alphabetical order, i complained about the fact that no one was helping me, i complained about nearly everything i could think of. My head felt as though an arrow just shot straight through my head. I was tired and i could not do anything so i just went to sleep. The following day, the same thing repeated, and repeated, and repeated. By the fourth day, i finished the pile of shirts i first saw on my first day. I was so happy i 'hit the ceiling' but i knocked my head on the ground when they told me i had to type more air way bills for more packages and a this time i saw the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
After about a week of working there i finally finished all my work and i would get my pay check soon. From then on i knew that i was not the type to work in such places as it is a pain in the neck. I decided that i would hopefully work in a more 'peaceful' environment.
I read it from another place but this is the only picture i can get to show.
When i an assignment to read on the story Moon by Chaim Potok and Iqbal Masih by David L. Parker from stolen Dreams : Portraits of Working Children, i thought that this will be just a story. However, tears started to flow from my eyes down my cheek, wetting my shirt as i read the story. Admitting it, i am a lachrymose whenever i watch,see,read or hear sad things and even touching something that has a sad memory. This story just moved me as i read on how children at the mere age of 4 are sold away to work at carpet factories. Imagine being sold away by you own family. How painful it is to part with your only blood relative, but i also admire these people that they are tough. Their problems are like a tsunami compared to my little wave yet they do not complain as much as i do.
I knew all along that i was lucky to be born in a loving family, to be able to be educated well, to have to opportunity to join anything i please and to have to say in what i do, but, maybe i have not been thankful enough yet. I compare my situation to the Pakistani children. They get so much less than i do yet they smile and they are so joyful. They neither have the education i have, not a loving family, or a say in what they do, yet they are so thankful for what they have.
Thinking back, my experience working with WWF may actually be a good experience. I got to experience working in an office that not everyone can get, i learnt how to use a typewriter, i learnt to work fast, but most of all, i learnt a lesson that will change me. I learnt that i should be patient, be happy when i am able to help others, and most of all, i should be thankful.
I was brought to this Earth for a reason. I was given a goal in life when i took my first breath. My experience working is just one of the hardships i will have to face in life. I cannot rush to reach my goal as i can only see so much of my future. This is just a stepping stone and i am glad i have passed it. The hardships i will face in the future will be much worse than this so i will have to take it slowly and PATIENTLY.
When running a marathon, we...
Pant, pant, run, run, pant, pant, run, run
When we study, we...
Study,study,stress,stress,study, study, stress, stress
All we're doing is all wrong
No wonder we always sing a sad song
We always over do all things
Doing this is right, we think
Chill,chill, do not rush,
it is not the end you know
sprint, jog, sprint,jog
study, rest, study, rest
And at the end, push with all you have left,
don't look right, don't look left,
focus on your goal,
to satisfy your soul
Do this and you'll be at the top
in 1 piece
1 breath
but with a 1000 smiles!
If everyone in the world started becoming more thankful, this world would change for the better. No more wars, no more torture. Just peace and harmony.
I may not get many opportunities to work for money at the moment, but i have all the time to help the needy.I do quite a lot of voluntary work often but maybe i can still do more. By decreasing the time i use to play computer games and watch Japanese Animations, i can spend more time helping others who need my help. Packaging is definitely not one of my strengths. But i was born with gifts and these gifts are to create a better future of others as well as myself. I will use them to the MAX to create a better future for everyone and i will try to make a difference in the world. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE! Never give up on something, miracles happen everyday.
( This was one of my journal entries at the start of year 2008 As for the two stories. I advise everyone to read it. I don't usually like these type of stories but it was really touching. ^^)

CLEAN UP YER DECK!
Clean up Yer' deck or ya'll be walking the PLANK!
Hand in your homework or you'll be getting a SPANK!
Orders, orders, orders,
Such annoying orders,
Getting us to do more work everyday,
NO! we just wish to say.
We never get to rest,
And they complain we don't get best!
Row, row, do not stop!
Work, work, do not stop!
Such horrifying words we hear all day,
How we wish to dance at the bay.
Free from everything,
All we do is sing,
Living a joyful life,
With a wonderful wife. ( Future )
I guess you can tell what the whole poem is about i suppose. It is really quite obvious. Oh and please ignore the wife thingy. I just had trouble thinking of a rhyme for life. ^^

Choc Factory Visit ^^
As stated so clearly by the title, I visited Beryl's Choc. Factory not very long ago. The date of my visit is not popping out in my head so well, i went not long ago. ^^ I went there as a helper and photographer together with a group of kids from the Edison Explorer Academy. Use to be a student there so now i am too old so I go back as a helper. It is a class where kids from ages 6-12 learn very useful thinking skill in a very very very fun way. Back to the topic anyway...
The two teachers... like 5% of the kids... with their mums!!
We had to hire two buses to fit everyone in!! And it is a very nice bus!
Kids checking out which bus there are placed in!
The kids had groups of i think about 3-4 kids and 1 guardian. At the start of the trip they were given a quiz paper. It was part of the Wonka Challenge. This trip was an outing for the topic Charlie and The Chocolate Factory that is being held for 2 months. Some of the questions they already learnt it during classes. However, some of them they had to observe during the whole trip. I was in Aunty Amy (The founder of this academy )'s bus! The journey there took about 1/2 hour. Then...FINALLY we reached our destination!
The first thing i noticed was the big cacao bean! The factory looked more like a shop ( big one ) instead of a factory. Once we went in, we saw two shops on opposite sides in the shade selling... CHOCOLATES!! I just love milk choc. especially!! ~ slurp ~ BUT!! No time to buy stuff... i had to continue taking photos of the ultra excited kids..
We went up a flight of staircases and TADA! A door! We entered the door and it kinda smelled stuffy. I guess thats because they never really aired the room and i saw a big sign that told me I was just given a break from my job. It was a NO... sign and the big picture of a camera was there XD! Anyways, we went in and everyone got a sit except for me. Oh well, i guess i can stand. ^^ Then... BOOM! The electricity went out for like 5 mins and it came back. A lady then came in and gave everyone a brief talk about the factory and showed a slide show.
After all that, the doors on the other side opened and the smell!! The chocolate smell was overflowing and it was glorious! We went through the door into this corridor...on the walls there were like big boards showing the history of chocolate. It was said that the first people to discover the secret of cacao was the people during the classic period maya. I was mixed with water, pepper, and other spices as a frothy and spicy drink. Sounds disgusting to me though. ^^
After that, choc was a European symbol of wealth and power. Imagine our money as choc? I think i would be extra poor cause i will be eating everyone of em ^^ Then we went along into this room where they showed us all of beryl's different type of chocs. Some were in a shape of a bunny, egg, football and lots more. ^^ We continued by looking at the various ways of making choc. I am quite sure you have eaten chocolates that are round and have nuts right. Did you know that just to make them you put the nuts in something that looks like the machine to mix cement. Well, you just have to turn the thing, and the pipe in front of the opening will squirt out chocolate at it and it also acts as a blower to make sure the chocolates don't stick. ^^ Then they showed us the various types of packaging. Mostly done by machines of course.
Kids posing with a cow statue~~
We ended the whole trip at the choco factory by buying CHOCOLATES! I bought quite a bit for me and my family! SLURP!!! After that, back on the buses! And off to the next activity. Oh, before we left the choco factory the kids had to hand up their quiz papers! And A. Amy was marking it on the way back to see the final 11 groups that would be going to the next round.
The next round of the Wonka challenge! The kids had to guess how many chocolates there were in a big round bottle. The 6 groups that were closest to the answer will gooo to the next round!! We then had a short briefing for the parents on what Edison Explorers is but i shan't go into detail. Next round was wheel-burrow ^^ the kids had to pair up and at the starting line there are plates. And at the other end there were plates also, but with slices of lemon! I also love lemon! ^^ they had to bring their partners to the other side and pick up the lemon with their mouth and bring the lemon back to the other side again. There are 4 lemons for each group. And the fastest team will win. It was really funny to see them pick up the lemons and because they were rushing they did not make a U-turn but drag their partner with the lemon backwards. ^^ The prizes were amazing! RM 100 and about 100 famous Amos cookies!!!
I would love to continue but i guess i shouldn't make this too long winded ^^ hehe ^^ find out more next time ^^

RM 100 and about 100 famous Amos cookies!!!
I would love to continue but i guess i shouldn't make this too long winded ^^ hehe ^^ find out more next time ^^

STRESS!! not....
When running a marathon, we...
Pant, pant, run, run, pant, pant, run, run;
When we study, we...
Study, study, stress, stress, study, study, stress, stress.
All we're doing is all wrong,
No wonder we always sing a sad song;
We always over do all things,
Doing this is right, we think.
Chill, chill, do not rush,
It is not the end you know.
Sprint, jog, sprint, jog,
Study, rest, study, rest.
And at the end, push with all you have left,
Do not look right, nor left,
Focus on the goal,
To satisfy your soul.
Do this and you'll be at the top,
In 1 piece,
1 breath,
BUT with 1000 SMILES!!

Stress....STRESS!! everyone says that... admit it. With homework everyday, extra activities...people tend to stress out easily. Why?? I believe it is due to pressure and too high expectancy. Pressure is because other people then to pressure or expect others to do well in certain areas or even all areas.
It is said that a lot of pressure are placed on Chinese students studying in Chinese school ( SJKC schools ). Chinese school students generally have too much homework if i have to say so myself. The parents of the kids also tend to provide their kids with the 'best' gift of all ( at least they think so ). MORE WORKBOOKS!! They only think about their children getting straight A's in the exams. What pressure...don't you agree?? Comparing your kids is also another factor why they get stressed up. No matter how humble you may be, you have the tendency to want to be better than others. ADMIT IT!
This poem i wrote a while ago, tells us about how we should NOT stress out. We can always have a lot of homework, work, extra activities, and at the same time avoid stress. Just take it easy. Have good time management if possible. Your personality also affects your stress level just to add. If you are a hardworking type of person, you will do fine most of the time. Organized, well you have good time management i suppose. Lazy people, you gotta buck up!
Here are some solutions how to stay away from stress.
1~> People who are hardworking... Learn from the lazy ones how to relax. (and vice versa )
2~> GET A HOBBY...
3~> Do something you enjoy...
4~> Listen to music...
Thats all for today i guess~~ Hehe ^^ if anyone has any comments, suggestions or you disagree with something i said, please write them in the comments..thank you very much...^^

The Flow of Life~~~
We all know how a tree moves,
It sways to the right, and it sways to the left;
Sometimes it just stands tall.
Life has its own flow too,
Sometimes we may be happy,
Sometimes we may be sad,
Angry, depressed, stressed up also,
Jovial, crazy, nutty at times;
Sometimes we may be still,
When no emotion comes aloud.
When a tree comes to age,
It is then chopped down,
And it is then its life ends.
It is the same for us,
Once we reach old age,
We start to 'malfunction',
Our lives then fade away,
Everything then goes blank.
But where there is death,
There is life.
A new born replaces the gone.
This is the flow of life,
Not for humans, nor for plants;
But for everything created by Him.
~ Su Mei
Life can be very similar to the things around us. We always say, animals don't have stress or plants too. But if we think about it, animals and plants also have lots of stress like we do. Animals have to hunt for food or they are always being hunted. Plants have to fight with each other to get enough sufficient minerals and water. Humans... need I say??? We have many many more similarities to these things... just open your eyes and you can see them.
