: see

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.
- Henry David Thoreau

see the hope
see the dream
see the happiness that lies within but shines outwards


...there is no such thing as impossibility,
to have the thought, the belief, is possibility in itself...

i don't know

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. ~ Albert Camus

i'm too lazy to search, too tired to look, does that count too?

time

can't believe i haven't been blogging for more than two whole months! feels a bit weird to write on a blog right now.

anyhows, what can i say? there so many things that have happened, that are going to happen, that are happening, i simply cannot put it into words. year 12 seems to go by faster than any other year of my life. there's no pause button to year 12, no way of slowing things down so its easier to swallow, and now with term 3 coming to an end (so soon?!) sacs are piling on top of each other...and me? i'm drowning amongst the sea of sacs, orals and practice exams...eek and i can't really swim either...ok maybe i'm exaggerating just a tad bit...

time does not wait.

winter holidays : week one

it's been freezing the past couple of days, and raining too.

guess what? i made jelly on monday with my cousin, nat. yay! it was the first time i ever made aeroplane jelly (usually it's my mum who makes it). talking about food, today i was researching stuff for my unit 4 folio and i found all these cool pics of cakes...mmm

here's a pretty one (courtesy of vanillepatisserie.com):



yum ... caramel and chocolate mousse cakes =P

hope everyone's enjoying the hols :)

did you know?

> smiling releases endorphins which make us feel better
> a person who studies laughter is called a 'gelotologist'
> laughing can stimulate heart activity thereby producing a better oxidation
> people are born with the ability to smile, it is not a copied expression

here is a quote i like about smiles:

"It costs nothing, but creates much. It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give. It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever."
~ dale carnegie

the equation

is life supposed to be fair? or is it up to us to make it fair?

i wish i knew.

it seems that people are so encased in layer within layer of circumstances, personalities and prejudices that objectivity becomes lost, is fairness even a word that exists there?

i wish i could change a lot of things.

perhaps equations can only be restricted to maths and science, because those subjects seem to dwell on a preciseness that is seemingly impossible in reality.

life is a changing constant. altered by time, by people, by thoughts.

qu'est-ce que je dois faire?

right now i feel like wasting my time, i know i should be doing a whole lot of other more important things - like studying, for example - but something pulls me back, telling me to plonk it all aside.

maybe i need this time to rethink, replan ... reflect? ok, so what exactly have i done this long week-end? the answer seems to knock me mercilessly on the forehead, i don't think i've actually done much, very nice...

but now shouldn't be a time to dive back into what i should or shouldn't have done...instead, what i will do, what i will accomplish:

- study for french sac (thursday)
- study for chem sac (friday)
- catch up with my viscomm folio
- start studying for chem mid-years
- do chinese homework (sunday)

et voila, my to-do list for the week, which i shall start to work on ...tomorrow
