Back 2 SiNGAPORE ;]
Ok so the day before I left fo Singapore I finally realise what life and love is. Well, sort of. The purpose of living is to experience different things. Our life is full of experiences. We taste the different tastes in this world: Sweet, Spicy, Sour, Bitter, Salty... these are all experiences. We get to see different colours in this world, even when it's just black and white or even when you can't differentiate the colours, these are all experiences we go through. We laugh, we cry, we get shocked, we get frightened we experience the various emotions. We do projects, we go to school, we go have fun and hang out we experience various things. Eventually, we all experience one thing: death. So this is life: we go through various experiences from birth to death. These are all experiences. And we should really appreciate it we get to experience these things. In other worlds, we should be greatful we are alive and well on Earth. God made us all differently, even twins are different, we experience different things. With regards to LOVE, I would just see it as caring for someone because LOVE is really a big word but with one purpose. You love your family because you care for them. You love your friends because you care for them. You love your girlfriend/boyfriend because you care for them. You love your pet dog/cat/fish/turtle/bird/snake/guinea pig/rat/pig/snail because you care for it. You love your work because you care about working. You love to study because tyou care about your studies. Well that is with the exception of loving foods etc.
So anyways, I arrived in Singapore in the afternoon with my mum and we went to Lewin Education Center to thank my tutors for helping out in the "REVERIES". 5000 RMB = SGD$1000+ are already donated to AWWA School for the kids with special needs and also an additional 95+ books will be delivered to Shanghai! Wonderful! And we have a lot more money to donate to charities!
In case you do not know: YOUR PURCHASE OF "REVERIES" WILL BE HELPING OUT THE CHARITY ORGANIZATIONS AS ALL PROFITS WILL BE DONATED TO CHARITY. I REPEAT: ALL. EVEN THE MONEY WE RAISED FROM THE FUND RAISING WILL BE DONATED AND THE SALE OF THE BOOKS. GIFTING OF BOOKS WILL BE ALLOWED BUT THE RECIPIENT HAVE THE CHOICE TO DONATE 60 RMB OR AN EQUIVALENT SGD$12 TO ANY CHARITY ORGANISATION.
Okay so then we went to visit my Primary School Best Friend: DARREL :] we didn't talk much though, he grew so tall... gosh I am so jealous... haha! Btw, I passed HGPS and the new Indoor Sports Hall looks pretty awesome!!!
The following day I went back to VICTORIA SCHOOL! Everybody grew so tall... I'm so totally jealous... and meet up with lots of friends and teachers :] Had fun touring the school with JIA LOK and CHAN KAI. However many ppl fell ill. Saw the Red Cross peeps! Good memories~ And the juniors! Haha! I do know one Sec 1 who doesnt really enjoy Red Cross... then after that had dinner with Jia Lok. Did I mention the view from Swissotel The Stamford is so awesome? Can see the Marina Bay Sands under construction and The Esplanade and the CBD and the St Andrew Cathedral and Padang and the Government Place thingy and the Merlion and the Floating Platform. Oh btw, VS's new Indoor Sports Hall was built already as well! Looks awesome as well! Wow... both schools I went to have new sports hall!!! AWESOME!!!
The next day we went shopping and at night we saw the NDP Rehearsals!!! Awesome fireworks directly from our hotel room! Haha! And the following morning Jia Lok, Chan Kai and RONALD ONG came to send me off! Thanks guys! We chat a bit but that morning I was tired so didn't chat a lot...
Sigh... I had a choice then in August 2008: To stay in Singapore to continue studying in VS or move to Shanghai to study in SSIS. I chose to move to Shanghai. In VS, I could have had more achievments in many different ways with the so many opportunities they had... even in CCAs. And I could have stayed in Red Cross and then I'd grow taller with all the Physical Trainings in the bumblebee attire~... sigh... But moving to Shanghai I get to have a new experience and of course, learning many valuable lessons. These opportunities God gave me... I really appreciated it. Now I've learnt to let go but of course from time to time I'd still be clinging on to past memories. And of course, I've made new friends. There's an advantage and disadvantage having this great change.
And with opportunities we have to really make full use of the chance to make things right. In the movie "Evan Almighty" that I saw in the hotel, they say that when we pray for things, we don't get what we want directly. God only gives us the opportunity to get that thing we want. Really awesome. It's really up to us to make things right/successful when the opportunity is right in front of us. I also saw another movie "To Be Fat Like Me"... it's a cool movie as we learn to accept people for who they are... I saw "Mr Woodcock" too... lols... funny movie...
Ok so that's about all...
