Treasure your parents

From the title, you might say why treasure our parents, they keep nagging and scolding us, making us feel hurt and so on. Most of the time, children would usually dislike their parents because either they keep scolding or keep nagging. We often think that our parents do this just to torture us or just for the sake of distress or just because it is their habit. However, have you ever thought of the message behind all the scolding and nagging?

The reason why parents scold or nag is because they care and love for you. If they did not care for you, why would they take the trouble to scold and nag at you all the time? It is not an easy job as a parent to do that, neither it is for the child to keeping hearing to the endless speech from what the parents say everyday.

Hence we should thank our parents for nagging and scolding us. They nag for the fear of you not being successful in life, not doing your best and the sufferings that you will go through in the future. They do this because they do not want you to follow the wrong footsteps and suffer in life, but they want you to live happily in future. Without them, we would not be the kids and teens we are now.

The best time to thank your parents is now, the living years. You may never know when you parents will one day leave you. By then, you will regret not apologizing and not telling them how much you cared for them despite all the nagging and scolding. Therefore, I suggest that if your parents are still around, thank them now, tell them how much you cared for them before you will never have a chance to do so in future. Therefore, I would like to apologize to my mother right now before it is too late.

Mom, I would like to ask for forgiveness from you, I would like to say that I am sorry to disappoint you in many ways. I have not appreciated what you have done for me in order to be a successful person in life and I have always rebelled against you and mistreated you in many ways. I have also made you anxious at times when times were urgent but I did not care about it. I would like to thank you, for giving me life to this world, for bringing me up till this day. i would also like to thank you for nagging at me for that shows that you cared for me even though we had misunderstanding at times. So, in return, for all that you feared of me, for what you have done for me, I would like to say that I love you.

Well, it is just so simple but yet meaningful. Therefore, if i have the courage to post this, so can you. Finally yet importantly, I would like to end off with this phrase, 'choices have consequences'. So, choose whether you want to do it now, or regret it in future. I would like to end off with this song, The Living Years. Take time to reflect upon it.

China(DongBei)

A week, maybe a few, I supposed, has past, my exams are over and i am now looking forward to my trip to DongBei in china. I don't know if you guys ever heard from that place but this place is where, from what i have heard, the future modern city will be located. However, i don't quite agree with that though, because I felt that DongBei was not really a suitable place for a new future to be established. I guess it is best to exprience it first before concluding. Well, other than that, I am still looking forward to go to china because there's always something new to learn from there and there might be something else that we may share among the locals there. I guess the purpose of this trip is to allow us to experience life in DongBei, the different geography and the history and culture. From what I have heard, China culture is very rich and its history is long and therefore I feel that China would be a good place to study about culture and history. Still, I will have to look up in the internet for books on DongBei, from there I can probably familiarise myself to DongBei's culture and History. Although the school wants to cover all the subject covered in my school, well, maybe not D&T or Home econimics but there's lots to learn. I am quite happy and excited but yet unhappy and worried that I will be immerse into a school in DongBei. Happy because it will be a chance for me to learn the attitudes of China student and maybe make friends with them. Worried because I am afraid that I would bring shame to my school if they find out that Singaporeans are slackers and weak in their chinese. I hope that everything would be fine there... Well, I guess it is time for me to pack my bag for this trip. Hopefully, I will be able to enjoy myself there and come back in one piece

Mastery Review

Create yours at BlingyBlob.com! The amount of time left is ticking away as the examination draws closer and closer each second. However, it is kinda funny, I am not worried at all, okay, maybe a little but I seem to be always relaxed whenever an examination comes. Usually if an examination was round the corner, you might be mugging till you drop, unless you are confident of getting a good grade. Well, for me, I did not study much, probably because you dun have to study for english, just have to know the concept to some explository writings and so on. Probably, I must have given myself a very low expectation of myself to at least pass the test and that I am confident that I will do so, since the pervious test was a prove. But sooner or later, I know I will have to give myself another higher expectation if not, I won't make it to the next level or probably be in the worst class or be expelled. I pray that I will be given wisdom and confidence to pass all the test with better marks than the previous ones by putting my best thorughout the examination days. So, wish me luck, LOL.

This is posted by COLIN, who's a member of this blog as well. This blog hasn't been updated for ages yea. It's screwed in firefox due to all the stupid countdown clocks but otherwise it appears fine in IE. I won't be doing much posting here. I'll leave it to Leon for 90% of the posts. Enjoy!

It is has been a pretty long time ever since I have updated my blog. Now, some of my friends even created their own blog and some have changed their URL. All this things, I have not updated just because I have not been checking on blogs and updating my blog. Well, I actually felt very bad about how I have 'treated' my blog, I have not been posting reflections and entries for almost a year. Probably I should be following friends to posts at least once a week or so. However, I am still unsure if I can still be able to keep the regular schedules due to my busy days in Secondary School. then again, I made a vow too to myself not to close this blog even though it is always dead and I guessed that's how it remained till this day. I guess I will make blogging as a distressing method, not only to talk about what i have been going through but also the feelings about them. In conclusion, I will make it a point to blog as least once a month and after seceeding the first standard, I will slowly change it to once a week and then to everyday. So, I hope I will be able to reach my target for blogging and hopefully try to interest you guys.

Finally, the exams are over and that I can finally stop mugging, although some of you might say I am not mugging but slacking. Well, at least I can celebrate Chinese New Year happily instead of having to mug all day.

Somehow, I feel like I have two side of me which has two different feelings. The first side can't wait for the results to be announced but the second does not want to see the result. Probably I have not been doing quite well last year but I have told myself to start a New Year right.

Now, I am just happy that I passed my Chinese which I have failed to do so a lot of times last year and that is all I know for now. As for the rest of the subject, well, I will just have to depend on how much effort I have placed in it. Hopefully, I will be able to improve my results as I move on this year ahead.

Somehow, I feel like I have been acting a little stupid and dumb this few days not knowing what I was doing, what were happening in school. Lost a dictionary and a file because I never heard about the discarding of the lockers and had my books in it. Well, I placed my lock on the locker, and was told by the OM, that it was an indication that there are some things in the locker that has not been removed and therefore the locker shall not be removed. However, this did not happen for my locker, the lockers were removed even though I had my lock on it, which was a shock for me, the OM, and my family members. Well, the case carried on until today when it settled down for now since I have a new temporary locker and have made arrangements for a new Carpe Diem file which was in the locker that was cleared away. Though, all this was settled, the dictionary still could not been found even through searching high and low for it. This was not a good thing for that dictionary was not only mine but was also was expensive.

Second thing which still has not been resolved was about a guitar pick was cost $15, I know that sounds very expensive, yah, my family also felt the same way too. I felt a little cheated by the teacher for buying that pick from her. Hence, I will have to speak to the teacher personally and hopefully by god's grace, will be able to resolve the problem as soon as possible.

School has just started and it is the second day. Time flies...I blamed myself for not using my holidays to the fullest to prepare for this year.

Well, since the New Year has already started, I think I should not be regretting about the things I have done last year, but instead I should be starting afresh right? However, I still feel that I am not ready for this year. Well, probably because I am not use to the school. Guess I will have to wait a while for me to get used to school.

I guess this will be a good chance for me to do better in my studies and change my attitude towards people and towards by studies. Most likely, I wouldn’t mind participating in any of the class committee to try to serve the class.

Since I have to also learn to wake up early for school, I think I will stop here now. Hopefully I can start blogging when I am free during the holidays.

time of your life(good riddance)
