Quotes
Love is a minefield. You take a step and get blown to pieces, put yourself back together again and stupidly take another step. I guess that's human nature. It hurts so much to be alone that we'd all rather blow up than be single.
We have no say over the hand dealt us in life, but we do have a lot of control over how this hand is played. We are responsible for bringing out the meaning of our own lives in each moment that we live. Remember each moment happens only once and can never be retrieved again.
A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.
He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.
I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.
It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.
All this will not be finished in the first 100 days. Nor will it be finished in the first 1,000 days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.
Friendship
The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.
It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.
If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me
The best kind of friend is the one you could sit on a porch with, never saying a word, and walk away feeling like that was the best conversation you've had.
A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.

I love Thursdays. Miss OBS!
Day1.
Bid goodbye to all my classmates. Really happy and ecstatic that all of them wished me goodbye and a fun trip. Good sign bad sign? Compared luggage with everyone else. Everyone else was so much more compact! With us leaving and the ZhuHai people arriving, it seemed as tho they came to replace us. Hm. Mr Lian gave us a briefing, and then all the guys gave Daniel one massive hug! We promised, whatever we do, we'd do it for him=p. The bus came, and everyone boarded it with happy faces. We all thought it was gonna be a whole five days of fun, away from school. We were all half-right. On the bus, everyone was all high. Can't remember what was said, but it was a hell of fun. Reached the jetty, lined up, waited awhile and then we got our grouping. I was grouped in the group "Armstrong" along with Alvin, but Daryl was grouped into "Cousteau" =(. When we got on the boat, it was my turn to be high=p. I cracked jokes at people on the boat all the way. Little did I know, that was the start of my change. When everyone was gathered at camp2, our instructors were introduced. Cousteau= Jackie, Armstrong = Jonathan( JON ). We were split into our own groups, introduced ourselves to the instructor and off we went to pack our store rooms. At the start, I almost couldn't be bothered to help pack. I only helped when I saw a need to, the rest of the times slacking. I really regret it. We were really far behind the other groups, and I should've helped. When everything was all packed up, we grabbed our life jackets and off we went to kayak! Or tri-yak for that matter, three in one kayak. I was at first with Tom and Alvin, but once Jon saw we were all boyboyboy girlgirlgirl, changed to boygirlgirl. I was with LiYing and XinYu after that. Needless to say, everyone had fun=p. Again, we were far behind, so we rushed to put everything back to pitch up our tents, cook dinner and shower, not in order. Being drenched in seawater stinks on ice. First time pitching up a tent, I'll say I did not quite badly. The girls cooked, and the guys pitched the tents. Tents pitched we all went off for the most relaxing part of the day: the SHOWERS. The girls already showered first=_=". Man, even if the waters were freezing, mind numbingly cold, no one cared. I was the very last one to eat too=_=". But, it does have its benefits. I get the remainder of the whole pot of canned cocktail sausages, canned ikan bilis and a quarter pot full of rice. Everyone had so much less! Even tho the cocktails weren't cooked, and I loathe ikan bilis to a considerable measure, I DIDN'T CARE. I ate more than my fair share, sharing with Edel and Alvin! It was soooo much more satisfying then apples, biscuits, and bread. After that, it just felt so much more comfortable being in casual clothing. Then we had to meet with with JON. I noticed on the third day, then every time we gathered in a circle, I would really just play around, making really sarcastic remarks, trying to get everyone to laugh, only to fail horribly. I shall continue this part on day4=p. He gave us a talk, and a story of which I miss terribly(We all miss JON.WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ='(. I miss his stories='( ), and we had to do an activity called Long line". We had to draw something and pass the pen without lifting it off the paper. Our drawings were hilarious, overlapping each other. After that, it was close to lights out, so we grabbed our stuff and head on out to our tents. Lol, my mum gave me a charm to "ward off evil spirits". I know and understanding it being the Chinese seventh month and all, but a charm is abit exaggerating. I was my first time sleeping in a tent, and since I brought a sleeping bag, it was relatively comfortable. I slept in a middle of Alvin and tom. I was literally a dwarf sleeping between two giants. My fear at that time was that both of them would roll on me in the middle of the night, suffocating me. What happened was much, much worse. Tom... FARTED. It was hard to sleep, as just coming to pulau ubin from what was like my heaven on earth-like lifestyle, made me miss home sooo much, and I wanted the five days to go by quicker. All this would change in a matter of 2 days. I thought of everyone and everything back home, and I miss it so much. I even sang the song that's in my blog now, every night at the camp=D!
To be continued...
To sum everything up:
Day 1= Goodbye, Arrival, kayaking, dinner sleep.
Day2= Breakfast, Morning"Workout", Rock climbing!, Trekking a mere 2km with full pack almost killed us to the next campsite.
Day3= 35km trek round the island finding checkpoints. Thought it was a mere 14km, and almost died with 2km. Reached camp1 with pride and achievement sweating on our bodies.
Day4= Kayaking 15km round, then through the island. Ate on the sea, swam in the sea, peed in the sea. No kidding. No sweat after 35km from day before.
Day5= Packed everything up, and was depressed the whole day. Even though this departure was anticipated from day1, feelings change. These five days are forever etched in my mind. We departed from Pulau Ubin, exchanged tearful goodbyes with our instructor JON, who we will forever remember as the person who was like our father who guided us when we were lost. Mention Jon to any OBS people and we will RANT about him forever.
Shall go into elaboration when I feel like it. I love Thursdays, and this one didn't fail me, so in a real good mood, so wrote about OBS. Past few days was really depressing for me. After coming back from OBS, a close friend of mine ignored me and paid all attention to my best friend. This depresses me so. The main thing is, me and my best friends went to OBS, so I see no reason for that to happen. This kinda led to the 2 earlier short emo posts. Eh. Stopping here.
Sometimes, we get so blinded with what others have and what we want to have,
That maybe, just maybe, what we need is already right there in front of us.
