Today, I woke up at 6 30, did my usual stuff then went for band. After that had lunch in Pastamania with Chien Teng, Yang Chin (for the first time), Fredy and some others... can't exactly remember and a lot of clarinetists. Fun chatting the whole time. Then headed off to Macdonalds where Fredy did a um... raid in my file.
Went home after that. My brother was at home, so I was obviously not happy about it. In addition he's using my com as well. What baffled and angered me was that he already has a computer, and it's new somemore. Moreover, he has a laptop. Like er... can't he just use what belongs to him?
That's why I hate him, selfish bastard who wastes time at the expense of other people. And many other reasons as well.
I will definitely cry if it was me in the past. But I didn't today.
In English, Ms. Tan talked about a novel she did while she was in uni; the last scene speaks of the protaganist leaving the hospital and walking into the busy street, towards the sun.
Leaving behind the sad past and moving on, that's what it's about.
In life, things always happen. Some are good, others are bad. With good comes bad anyway so no one has a 'perfect' life or so to speak. However, albeit the imperfection of life, it is always up to us to make it almost perfect. Yes, something depressing has happened. And so? Are you going to sit there and waste time dwelling on it, when the truth is, it's pointless? Nothing will be rectified if we all just dwell on things and wallow in self pity. Things only change when we do something about it. Easier said than done, but it really is possible.
Is it willpower? Is it determination? Is it love? Just what is that driving force that makes me continue on in life? Now, when something depressing happens, I only allow myself to be upset for a second, and I'll move on. It looks freaking simple on words but obviously it's much harder to do it. But, I'll make myself move on. No more dwelling and all that. After all, setbacks are a part of life. Without hypocrites, liars, backstabbers, wouldn't life be boring?
Therefore, it is important that we believe in ourselves and reveal the true strength hidden beneath us.
You were born with wings, why choose to crawl through life? Yes, setbacks are but a weight to bring us down, if our wings are strong enough, they're nothing. Are you wings strong enough? Because I know mine are.
Perhaps it is true that the more one experiences suffering, the more he can be tender and strong.
Listened to music @ 10:49 PM
