Pencil: I'm sorry 
Eraser: For What? You didn't do anything wrong.


Pencil: I'm sorry because you get hurt because of me. Whenever i made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.


Eraser: That's true. But i don't really mind. you see, i was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, i know i'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, i'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad...

This is a really cool post...
A really inspirational one...
Imagine the eraser as our mother/father...
Because it really describes what they do...

The little things that matters

Stumbled upon this picture when i was looking through facebook.
Its from Zhenming's wall :)

But the point is, this poster is really true.

How many times have we used the two words "Just Kidding" just to try to escape from something we have said and realised that we should not have said anything...
And we often say the truth even if we may be "Just Kidding"

And then the 3 words, "I Don't Know".
Another great example.
Ask yourselves, how many time did you say "I don't Know" just to avoid answering a question.
In the case of the teenagers nowadays, people use "I Don't Know" to shy away from the question: "YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND/ BOYFRIEND RIGHT?" when you could have just given a solid answer.
Or for the adults, if your boss ask you to do something that you don't wanna do, you'll try to shake it off, by saying "O That? I DON'T KNOW how to do that!"
But the truth behind it is that you actually know how to do the job.

How about the "I Don't Care"?
Lets just talk about Love and Family.
In love, when either side goes, "I Don't Care about you anymore!!", more often then not, they will regret and feel guilty for saying that to the opposite side.
And many couples forget the little bit of emotion behind that "I Don't Care" is what brought them together in the first place.
And for families, even if your parents go "I don't care about you anymore!!", they actually still do.
Even if its the slightest bit, they still do care.
More importantly, they are the ones who will flock to your side in the quickest time when you need help...

And then there is "It's ok"
So think anyone in a relationship which just fell apart will not feel the hurt?
They'll go "It's okay." or "I'll get over it soon", but deep down in the heart, they are screaming in pain, asking why did it have to go that way.
How about finding out that people have been gossiping about you behind your back...
Sure you'll go " It's ok", but u'll go home in pain, asking yourself, "Why are people doing that?"
And maybe you're someone who gets bullied everyday, and your true friends come around to try to comfort you. But you go "It's ok", and then deep down you ask yourself... "Am i really okay?"

All this little things are what that really matters in life, what that makes Human what we are.
And remember, the usual "Just kidding, I Don't Know, I don't care, It's okay"...
It could mean more then what it really seems...
And this is life...

This poster really taught me something though...
We must never take anything for granted...
Because some times, it might just be too late to go "Just kidding, I Don't Know, I don't care, It's okay".
Learn to cherish life, because you'll never get a second chance in living it over.

So everyone out there, cherish life and everything that you have before you, because you can only learn from your mistake, you can never go back and try to undo what is already done.
Learn from your mistakes, and more importantly, move on.
I'm sure there's always a better tomorrow :)

Life

I'm feeling really horrible today...

Its just a combination of things that even music can't solve.
I feel tired because i haven been out of the house for some time other then the visit to the hospital yesterday to visit grandma...
My body is aching everywhere, and on top of that, i worried for my second semester...
Worried that i cannot make it and things like that...

I guess this is the world today... especially in Singapore
You can hardly survive in the Singapore working society without a proper certificate.
Even teaching piano, it's best to have a cert so that you can proof that you are qualified to teach.

I guess i'll have to work my ass off for my second semester in Ngee Ann, or not i wont be able to pull up my GPA...
But at the same time, i still wanna spend time with Swiss Winds...
It is the only band that i have joined in my life, that made me feel at home, that i really belonged.
Maybe it was because of the amount of effort that i have put into the band.
Maybe its all the bonds that i have made with my juniors there, that i find it so hard to break away.
And it would really break my heart if the band cannot get better.

Nevertheless, i'll have to look at what happens.
One step at a time!
I guess that's life.
Don't think too much, try your best, and everything will work out one day.
At least i believe it will.

Life is full of miracles, i know it is.
And i'm gonna believe that I CAN...

A new week

Its a new week, and i look back at what has passed and ask myself what i'm doing...
I spent time practising on the piano, trying to perfect my exam pieces...
I got to know of another now song, which was out in 2010...
LOL...

And i have been talking about that a lot...
To the Sky - Owl City
The meaning behind that song, is so amazing.
That song, talks about life, as it is.

A picture paints a thousand words...
And a song like that paints the pictures that are taken in life...

Its really what i love about music...
And looking back at the past week, i realised that it has been a really musical one.

1. Designed a new background for my blog
2. Found a wonderful song
3. I keep conducting empty air

Lolz... Musical indeed.

You see, what i love about music, is that it's an universal language, one that everyone can understand.
Its just like how i listen to Anime music...
Half the time, i don't understand what the song really means.
In fact, most of the time.
But there is this song, Fields of Hope.
It's a really special song, and i feel the energy behind it every time i listen to it.
And i'm sure many feels the same...

When i'm feeling down, i listen to music...
When i feel like dying, i listen to music...
Most importantly, when i'm being teased or what-so-ever, i'll listen to music...
Maybe play my piano, or flute.

I just love music.
And i would have done it for life if i could...
But all that is in the future....

And looking at what i am, and where i am at the moment, i guess i better take one step at a time...

Chasing Your Dreams

I'm sitting here on my chair, thinking to myself, what is going on in my life.
Trying to look up and down, left and right, to find out what is going in my life.
But sometimes, i just don't seem to understand...

Every time i try to look into it and try to understand what life is about, i just don't get it.
I look at my life and try to understand parts of it, things like why am i who i am, but sometimes i just end up being much more confused.
Although i know that i should already appreciate what i have and cherish what i own, i still seek to understand why some things are the way it is... I just wish to know...

And then there is the nearly always huge question mark over my head...
What to do when i feel so lost?
Who can i turn to for help?
Trust me, this is the times when u wish that u are not the only child and you have an elder sister or brother to talk to...
To give u a hug and tell u everything is gonna be alright and that they have been through all of it before.
To tell u how its done, or at least listen to you and don't be like parents who just goes on and on, nagging and trying to make things better in a way that you really hate....

And then there is the issue of the ever so complicated matter, LOVE...
As much as everyone and anyone would say that it's really simple, it because really complicated over time...
Couples who are just so in love with each other will grow so sensitive of each other that they quarrel over the smallest issue...
Yes i see it happening in my very own home everyday...
And i look at it and go, "Gosh... when i get a GF... what would it be like man..."

And then as i do what many singaporeans are really capable of doing, complaining about all this things, i must realise and knock myself into the real world, because THIS is life.
Love, Problems arrising from work and studies, Conflicts between friends...
All of it, ITS LIFE...

And as much as its just so hard to overcome every obstacle of this journey there will be day, a day when everyone in this world will have to Take to The Sky... Just like the Owls of Ga'Hoole, just like Soren, life is about realising our ambitions and dreams, and reaching out to them, no matter how far away it seems. And its about never giving up, even when you're in stormy seas or harsh deserts, push on.

This is life, life as i know it, and as much as i find it difficult, i will, and i must overcome my difficulties... 

Horrible timetable

Horrible timetable really....

I look and it, my tuesdays and fridays nearly full...
Haiz... why of all days, it must be this two days....
Well... at least i should be glad that i didn't fail a module...
I thought i did... but i really din!
And though it pulled my GPA down, it still made me feel much better.

Reflecting back to the past, i realised how stupid i was, not to pay attention in class...
I din sleep enough as i should have, and...
So many other things...

Now, as my holiday comes to an end, the only thing that i'm thinking about...
Swiss Winds...
I really love the band, and honestly, i'll give anything to jump back into it...
But i know that its impossible.... I'm only hoping that i'll have enough time..
And i hope that everything will fall into place soon enough for me.

My dream of that alumni band, i want it fulfilled.

And i hope that i'll be able to pick up my GPA again...
I really hope so...

Halfway through the holidays...

Halfway through the dam holidays, but somehow, as weird it seems, i wish its already over...
Nothing seems to be going my way this holiday... Nothing...
I don't know why, but i feel like junk....

I'm like all over the place...
I don't know what i'm doing half the time...
And i'm definitely not loving the holiday this time...
So many things happened...
All the Wayang in my life is coming back...
And i really don't like it... but there isn't much i can do too...

Lazy to find a proper job, and then always get nagged by parents...
And then practise piano also cannot concentrate...

But at the least, i guess i must thank my Swiss Winds juniors for making my day...
TO: Hugo
