A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I'm going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. Well, he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air. "My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE. You are special - Don't EVER forget it."
Whee~~ It's time for my weekly, lengthy contribution to our blog. Today I wanna talk bout 4 of my fav things: alcohol & singing; xiaxue (ya haha) & photography. Junyue's sitting beside me while Im typing all these so I feel somewhat uncomfortable.. but the story must go on!
B4 i start, ah siang can u also give us a long entry in future also haha. All those whu r busy studying... jiayou wor!! & I saw on weijing's blog dat POTC III is coming soon! with Mr. 周润发 acting as a proud Singaporean.. wait til he hears bout our rising GST. Take care of ur jaw too! Kesiian sia.. & bee, katrina told me in May Sabah is gonna haf some exciting village thingy dat is world-renowned.. but i dunno bout it.
Friday 30th March: our camp had Happy Hour at nite! Pretty boring but I was forced to participate in some v challenging activity.. gonna go one round a table without touchin the floor! From top roll to bottom n climb back up. Quite an original thing to play i must say.. & happy to receive prize when i complete. So after everythingy we stayed to sing (as usual)! At 1st i wasnt able to peak.. but later i discovered a winning formula to sing well!!
You guys must have heard bout Superstar judges talkin bout singing without minding the audience n just enjoying.. but haf u ever wonder hows dat possible? We mind how ppl think we sing all the time WAT!
The trick I discovered was to drink (actually mayb only applicable to me).. lol.. & so i drank Smirnoff vodka 40% alcohol until i was half-drunk: my body is uncontrollable but mind still clear.Haha sounds impossible I know.. but I was at this stage where I will even dance to the music of 第二天堂. So when I picked up the mike to sing 豆浆油条... I swear it was the best vocal performance I ever had in my entire life. All the right notes hit well.. & i sang with the correct tones n emphasises throughout.. & all the while I was half-drunk & enjoying myself like nobody cares bout me. Mayb next time I shall drink vodka b4 going audition.
I found this pic in Xiaxue's blog.. ya i know many ppl out there hates her to the core. I find her ok la.. nt just becuz of her looks mind u.. i dun read the 2 Dawns' blog at all even though they r prettier.. but becuz she blogs pretty interesting & hilarious stuffs sometimes, n her social life is somethin we normal student-route ppl r missin. Her life is always bout partying! Ideal social life isnt it.
So in this pic she is criticising how teenagers these days like to take such "disgusting" photos.. & i realise I also commit many of the errors she fault sia haha.. angle smile.. eyes big big.. eyebrows raise raise.. hmmm.. how now brown khow?
Many ppl think some r born with gd looks n r photogenic etc etc.. the truth is dat how u look in front of a cam is a skill & nt a talent! & we all know skills can b perfected.. & the only way is to take more photos lor. SO dun try to hide next time when ppl take ur photo.. its a lifelong learning process to perfect ur face haha... for ur eventual funeral photo. Oops i meant criminal photo. I mean.. ur wedding photos! I dun wanna open my eyes bigbig when i stand next to my bride sia lol.. like marrying her 死不瞑目
Happy April Fools' Day!! =)
Count your blessings, not your problems.
247 days to EOT
