SCHOOL LIFE..

Have you ever think how many years of school or studying time in our lives???? Let me make the simple and short summary based on my knowledge and experiences..

After 6 years of primary education (primary 1 to 6), we will proceed our education in another level, which is the secondary level.

We will be spending 5 years in this level (6 years for those in probation class). The 5 years can be divided into 2 parts, which is the lower secondary (Form 1 - Form 3) and higher secondary (Form 4 - Form 5).

After completed 5 or 6 years in secondary school, some of us took (optional) Form 6 studies, which will last for another 2 years (lower and upper) to prepare for STPM, the entry towards local or oversea universities.

Life spending in Universities can add up to 3-5 years (diploma to degree level) depending on the major that we took. If we keen enough and forward to the higher level (Master) add another 2 years.

Summaries: Primary school 6 years, secondary 6 or 8 years (consider the probation class and form 6), Universities 7 years totaling to 20 to 21 years!!

Even though there is a quote saying ‘life is a journey of learning’ but 20 YEARS bound in education rules sound doesn’t make sense right??… what do you think??

Great Woman..

Feel inspired by them...lol..

DON’T BE AFRAID TO CHALLENGE
Woman must not accept; she must challenge. She must not be awed by that which has been built up around her; she must reverence that woman in her which struggles for expression.

DON’T GIVE UP
Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong.

REVEAL YOUR BEAUTY
People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

LIVE THE LIFE YOU WANT
Don't let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity. It's your place in the world; it's your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live.

Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.

It's good to read some inspiring quotes when you feel down and less couraged.. :)

Broken..

Sometimes I ponder about what will come next
Where will my life turn when it seems to stall?
When is the next time I will smile again?
and how will I get up, should I fall?

Happiness fills me with a touch of sadness.
By that I mean I know it can't last.
Beauty decays, laughter subsides
When will the stones be cast?

Tragedy can be measured
by the amount of happiness taken away
Elusion is our only protection
As we fall victim to its prey

So when I've reached a fork in life's road
and the choices are many or few.
I follow the one that leads away from misfortune
Thats all I can really do

When life is good
You have to hold it in your hand
You have to close your eyes
You have to breathe it in!

Happiness may end
While tragedy begins
Today is the beginning
Is tomorrow the end?

JUST FINE

You know I love music
And every time I hear something hot
It makes me wanna move
It makes me wanna have fun
But its something about this joint right here
This joint right here, it makes me wanna, woo!

Let it go
Cant let this thing called love get away from you
Feel free right now, go do what you wanna do
Cant let nobody take it away from you, from me, from we

No time for moping around, are you kidding?
And no time for negative vibes 'cause I’m winning
It’s been a long week, I put in my hardest
Gonna live my life, feels so good to get it right

So I like what I see when I’m looking at me
When I’m walking past the mirror
Don't stress through the night, at a time in my life
Ain’t worried about if you feel it
Got my head on straight, I got my vibe right
I ain't gonna let you kill it
See I wouldn’t change my life, my life’s just fine

Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooh!
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooh!
Just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooh!
See I wouldn’t change my life, my life’s just fine

Feels so good
When you’re doing all the things that you wanna do
Get the best out of life, treat yourself to something new
Keep your head up high in yourself, believe in you, believe in me

Having a really good time, I’m not complaining
And I’m a still wear a smile if it's raining
I gotta enjoy myself regardless
I appreciate life, I’m so glad that it's mine

So I like what I see when I’m looking at me
When I’m walking past the mirror
Ain't worried about you and what you're gonna do
I’m a lady so I must stay classy
Gotta keep it hot, keep it together if I want to get better
See I wouldn?t change my life, my life’s just fine

Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooh!
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooh!
Just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooh!
See I wouldn't change my life, my life’s just

I ain't gon’ let nothing get in my way, no
(I ain't gon' let nobody bring me down, no, no, no)
No matter what nobody has to say
(No way, no way, no way, no way)
I ain’t gon’ let nothing get in my way, no
No matter what nobody has to say

Feels so good
When you’re doing all the things that you wanna do
Get the best out of life, treat yourself to something new
It’s a really good thing to say that I wouldn't change my life
My life’s just fine

Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooh!
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooh!
Just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooh!
See I wouldn't change my life, my life’s just fine

So I like what I see when I’m looking at me

Pie of emotions..

Suddenly stumble with this chart pie... 'hope' presented very little here... most people easily lost hope when stuck in the troubles. Whatever problems we are facing..dont forget to lit up the candle of HOPE.. (hehehee..especially to me..). Need a break through..

I remembered a quote about HOPE..mind to share with you...

The Four Candles burned slowly.
Their Ambiance was so soft you
could hear them speak...

The first candle said, "I Am Peace, but these days, nobody
wants to keep me lit." Then Peace's flame slowly
diminishes and goes out completely.

The second candle says, "I Am Faith, but these days, I am
no longer indispensable." Then Faith's flame slowly
diminishes and goes out completely.

Sadly the third candle spoke, "I Am Love and I haven't the
strength to stay lit any longer."
"People put me aside and don't understand my
importance. They even forget to love those who are
nearest to them." And waiting no longer, Love goes out
completely.

Suddenly...A child enters the room and sees the three
candles no longer burning. The child begins to cry, "Why
are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit until the
end."

Then the Fourth Candle spoke gently to the little boy,
"Don't be afraid, for I Am Hope, and while I still burn, we
can re-light the other candles."

With Shining eyes the child took the Candle of Hope and
lit the other three candles.

Never let the Flame of Hope go out of your life.
With Hope, no matter how bad things look and
are...Peace, Faith and Love can Shine Brightly in our lives.

Finding myself

Looking back 10 years ago…I questioned myself, what I am going to be in 10 years time… Looking back my old black diary 10 years ago make me realized one thing.. the excitement, which hardly to find in myself now…

And now I question myself again, who, what and where I am in 10 years time from now… looking back all the dreams written in the old black diary, something inside urge me to make it real though some of it looks impossible ..hehhehee…

Someone emailed me the so called yearly horoscope (I don’t believe this but good for alertness hehehehhe) that I’m not doing really good this year except in my career. So, must focus in my career for stable income, reputation and recognition. Money ~ Not good for short-term investment, spend wisely, no lottery or windfall luck. Love unstable, up and down. Health~ need to pay attention in my safety while I’m not home, need to visit doctor regularly (which I hate to), take care more people at my home despite on my busy career. In other words, I only have a fair luck in this year of tiger hehehhee…the major events its only related to my career and reputation….sigh..

Despite a lot of struggle and juggling in my life … disappointment, non-acceptance, heart break, loss and much more it doesn’t stop me to ‘dream again’ hehehhee.. thank you for long holiday CNY which give me a time to clear my wardrobe and found my old diary. Looking back for excitement in life, try everything which will cross my mind, try to make it real… spread my wings and fly.. thank you to those who make me braved and strong again, thank you to those who let me down coz it will make me stand again…

When I get where I'm going
On the far side of the sky
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly

I'm gonna land beside a lion
And run my fingers through his mane
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain

Yeah, when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years

And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah, when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

I'm gonna walk with my grand daddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I missed him
Every minute since he left
Then I'll hug his neck

Yeah, when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years

And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah, when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

So much pain and so much darkness
In this world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
So much work to do

But when I get where I'm going
And I see my Maker's face
I'll stand forever in the light
Of His amazing grace

Yeah, when I get where I'm going
Oh, when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
Hallelujah
I will love and have no fear

When I get where I'm going
Yeah, when I get where I'm going
