What the world needs now, Is love sweet love. Its the only thing that is just too little of. What the world needs now, Is love sweet love. No not just for some, But for everyone.. _________________________
what on earth does we really get to hold on to, and basically control? funny, but when i heard the word time, i thought i saw it slipping through my hand. even when i tried holding on to it tightly. and so, i was rudely awaken by the harsh fact that yea, i have no control over time. seriously, what does time equates? hours? minutes? seconds? is it that simple? or does time actually holds a deeper meaning within it?
when i was a kid, i thought time to be what i see on the clock. time, probably a signal to me to do what i'm supposed to do at different period of the day. time to eat, play, watch tv, go school, sleep. as i grew a little older, i never did try to understand. and then i learn this - history.what is history all about? how did we arrived at history? history, on a more simplified manner, so to speak, its what was done in the past. then i found out, those days of a carefree life, was never to return to me ever again.
then now, (*am currently listening to what a wonderful world) i found a deeper meaning to my time. its no longer about the hours, minutes, seconds. no longer about history. its about handling it now. Memories are afterall formed, with history, with our past, with time that has past. its funny how humans always say they have no time for family, no time for friends, no time for other activities. humans are always busy busy busy. busy with work, earning a living, trying hard to provide for the family, working hard to climb up the corporate ladder. but, how wonderful can your world be, when your time is not spent with your loved ones?
its hard not to dwell, its hard not to not work (afterall you need money right?) but is it that hard to spare some quality time for your family? your friends? and most importantly God. why are we always procrastinating in doing things for our family and friends. why are we always procrastinating to do our quiet time? i jolly well this issue has been thought through and through by thousands of people before. but, are we making empty promises about spending time with our families and friends, learning to appreciate the time we have.
i guess, we have all fallen for the D_ _ _ L's plan. "work hard, to provide a better life for your loved ones. you do want them to enjoy right. never mind the lack of time with them now, you'll have loads of time when you retire.." do we really have enough time to regret? frankly speaking, i have to admit, i havent been spending quality time with my family and friends. its always just those dinner that always seem to be a rush, a meeting that main purpose was not on catching up. *shrugs* i think we're all guilty for that. dont lie! haha. time for reflection! dont wait for tomorrow, for tomorrow might not come. -yeah i know, cliche but..- _________________________
anyhow, was having a great chat with joel and corrin just now. nice that we're talking after so long. er.. for joel that is. haha. he's probably one of those friend whom i normally have talks about all those deep stuffs. haha. he's nice to share thoughts. we do have conflicting thoughts, but nonetheless, we learn from each other. (:
as we were crapping and stuff, (courtesy of ME!!) we manage to talk about being nice. and joel doesnt really believe in like being nice to the world, for he concludes the world is a man eat man world. haha. nothing is false in that conversation. however, allow me to share my thoughts about being nice.
to me, being nice isnt just about being polite and approachable and stuff. to me being nice is going that extra mile for someone, knowing it will definitely brighten up their day, or maybe helping them solve some problem. you know, just having the heart to want to brighten up someone's day, the extra mile that you go, its really nothing. i mean, i do understand that there's people out there who wants to take advantage of you, and maybe some dont appreciate. but, i'm here being nice not to let anyone know what i've done, rather, i have myself to be responsible to. i want to know that i've lived a life that has been doing good, honouring God. there're definitely struggles within myself when wanting to do something nice, like sheltering a stranger when its raining, giving up your seat on the mrt when you're just so tired and want to sleep. you struggle within yourself in wanting to do good or not. its normal, however, i know its not people i'm trying to please out there, but God whom i want to please. yea, people will be like happy like hey, i met someone nice, sheltering me when it was raining. if they're happy, i'm happy for them too, but that's not i want in the end. i just want to be nice, out there, showing the world, reflecting God's image to the world. (:
i'm still struggling to be nice all the time. but i believe, God will lead me in the right way. (: _________________________
i cant decide whether to take up keyboard or violin. i'm totally in love with violin, it has been my childhood dream to learn this instrument. and i know i can still fulfill this little dream of mine. but getting a violin is not cheap and the lessons arent really cheap either. keyboard on the other hand, well, its not cheap to get one, but at least its much easier to learn and if i cant continue lessons, i can still play by myself. haha, i'm quite fixed on getting a keyboard larx. but mummy say not now. ahhhh. so who will be nice to sponsor me a keyboard and a violin and the lessons? haha. Mr nice appear NOW!!! ok, this paragraph seems rather off in this post. haha. _________________________
ok, now i just want to end this post by saying, hey my brothers and sisters out there having exams, JIA YOU!! no fear yea, you have God. i'm praying for you. God Bless You. (:
