talk about your aims in life.
how many times in life we set goals but never keep to them?
i think we are all HYPOCRITES.
seriously...
there is only a minority that stick to it.
and truthfully, i SALUTE you.
it's so hard really.
and then again, no goals suck.
they totally put you off track.
i procrastinate too much.
and that's probably my weakness.
i speak too much and don't act on it.
i better be careful of what comes out of my mouth
before it lands me in trouble.
i got down to my 5-day diary..
didn't sit thru it..
as usual. i can't stick to something for long.
i can't be satisfied.
takes a lot to entertain me.
for those who know me well.
and that's probably why i never succeed.
and if and when i do, i don't wanna start again.
cos it's tiring. jeez.
yes. i am talking a lot of bullcrap here.
you can go away or just stay and listen.
cos i do think it makes sense.
goals are so important.
it puts us back on track.
but you need to..
WRITE IT DOWN.
and READ IT REGULARLY.
many of us say we have our own goals.
but do we do what it takes to reach our goals?
simple things as writing them down and reading them?
HELL NO.
to hell with all of us procrastinators.
i think we need a waking up call.
something i remember from 5-day..
and fruit for thought for those of you out there.
sometimes we get a whisper in the ear.
and when we don't listen?
we get a tap on the shoulder.
and when we ignore it?
we get a whack on the back.
and if we still ignore it?
we get a slap on the face.
and if we still don't give a fuck?
we get hammered badly and rammed down BAD.
and THEN.....
WE WAKE UP.
choose your time to wake up.
if you need that hammer and ram, tell me.
i'll gladly do that for you.
because i care for you my friends.
WAKE UP NOW.
i just read kailin's blog.
and i so agree with what she says.
don't live a life of regrets.
that boils down to the decisions we make.
make one that you won't regret.
and even if you fail... don't regret asshole.
take it as a learning experience.
everything in life is filled with learning experiences.
we are just unaware and negligent to it.
we, in fact, don't want to admit to it.
why? cos we want to be able to blame others.
it's NEVER our fault. isn't it?
so WAKE UP. you decided that. it's yours to take.
FACE it. and DON'T commit it again.
wake up sleepyheads.. it's time to get out of bed.... ;)
oh... if you need, read kailin's blog. she's one interesting girl.
she's not afraid. she's a really strong girl.
babe. you have my heart.

i woke up craving for laksa.
but it just faded away...
as i thought of beef bee hoon.
and then it died....
with arguments.
shites. i hate it.
anyways,
that was resolved.
i woke up at abt 12.30.
they didn't wake me up for church.
so i skipped mass, yet again. sigh.
i made lunch..
for myself and the maid.
she is such a nice person.
she deserves that wonderful lunch i made.
fried rice wrapped in omelette.
mmmm... delicious.
why heartaches you may ask.
i guess it's what's been going on in my life.
the many mistakes i make.
i totally regret them.
and now i have a price to pay for it. sigh.
but it's alright.
i won't give up.
i need to stand tall.
thanks for the support baby.
i'm gonna set my mind to it.
and try to study as hard as i can.
one step at a time.
oh yeah.
i had a great dream last night.
i was in australia.
and well..
there was this house...
people from the 5-day were there.
and kids too.
like our siblings...
we were all at this "boarding" house.
there was a field nearby..
and we played there..
well... those who joined the house..
on like their first day.
had their orientation games day there.
some sorta thing.
but it was so refreshing.
i didn't want the dream to end.
i kept waking up.
but i kept going back to the same dream.
yes. i wanna move to australia.
i wanna live there.
i wanna study there.
i love that place.
i love the people.
i love the weather.
i just love it there.
make my dream come true.

for those of you who still dont know..
i'm back in singapore already.
and i think i've learnt so much.
from there and from the things happening around me.
yeap. that course has thought me so much.
from the boardbreak, to the firewalk,
to the meditations,
to the firings to the secret and the arrow...
all these are but LESSONS.
they have thought me awareness.
i have been so negligent to my surroundings.
i have not paid attention to what's been happening.
and all these has caused my downfall.
that laziness in me has caused me everything.
and it's about time...
i picked up the pieces and solve the puzzle.
i must say a big thank you.
to all the presenters at the camp.
and those who made this trip possible..
especially my family and loved ones.
and most of all, my uncle.
if he had not lent me the money,
i would never be able to experience it.
and this has changed and will continue to change my life.
it has totally changed me...
my mentality and my attitude towards things in life.
the secret...
that has awoken me.
to those of you who are wondering what it is..
"the secret", the book is out in the stores.
go grab a copy for yourself.
it's a book you could DIE for.
it's only $23.95 at borders now.
this is free marketing for the book.
but i'm doing this because i want all of you to have it.
it's something that can help you entirely.
worth spending that money.
to those of you who don't have the interest in reading..
grab the dvd.
if you still are wondering what it is all about..
visit the website.

we were all given a diary...
with our photo from the camp.
i have not started writing anything in there.
but i will..
starting off with my experience at the camp.
i loved every single bit of the camp.
from the location, to the people,
to the food, to the emotions,
to the activities, to the processes,
to every single organism and action.
it was fabulous. the most awesome thing.
i've learnt to appreciate.. and be grateful.
i've learnt so much in that 5-days..
that some people will never get to learn.
thank you so much.
words cannot describe how i feel.
because words are nothing compared to that experience.
experience it for yourself.
first, join the 3-day empower u...
do it a second time..
then make your trip to sydney..
to do the 5-day empower u camp.
there will be another one next year.
don't miss this opportunity.
once again, thanks.
and to my supportive friends:
thanks for NEVER giving up on me.
thanks for always giving me "second chances"
they may have been plenty of it, but i totally appreciate it.
in times of trouble you never abandoned me.
and you've always tried to understand from my point of view.
although it be sound absolutely absurd,
you've swallowed it and passed it on.
thank you so so so much.
i cannot thank you guys enough.
THANK YOU EVERYONE.
