Personal Truth

The glaring sunlight piercing through the deep blue sky ,the gentle breeze caressing my cheek ,and the picturesque,scenic nature's wonders that look right through my eyes ,into my heart . It's amazing how one's perspective can change just by walking around one's neighbourhood.

All these little yet significant things that I wouldn't have noticed had I drove out . Today, being the mundane Sunday morning ,I decided to make that little effort to get out from my lazy chair and to walk out to eat.

It has been a long time since I last walked around my area.Walking is a wonderful activity you know, especially when the surrounding environment where you are walking/jogging in are a peeaceful neighbourhood surrounded with beautiful wonders of nature.Staring at the serene skies, noticing how those shapeless clouds slowly moving, grouping to form something . Just by doing that , my mind is cleared of all the troubles and worries.Here are some pictures taken around my neighbourhood.



Recently,I saw an article about personal truth.What is personal truth ? Personal truth is something that your whole self-heart,body,soul,and brain- recognises and accept as an universal truth.Here's an excerpt from the article .

" For instance, many people's personal truth might be " There's nothing better to alleviate stress than a good,deep,sleep ",while some people may opt for " nothing reduces stress like a good food .

One great truth,handed down from the Romans , is "This,too,will pass" or as Kipling put it ,we have to deal with triumph and disaster and treat those two impostors just the same ".

The one sure thing,the one bedrock truth in life,is that everything changes.Now, do you know your own personal truths yet?

I know you must have some of your own ."when in doubt " is a good phrase to use to uproot a truth that will help you. When in doubt ,find and eat some great food.When in doubt,remain silent . When in doubt, go to bed and sleep.When in doubt , talk about it.

And one of my favourites is " When in doubt, stop and say thank you for something, anything " No matter how dark life feels, there is always something to be gratful for , and I know that's true . "
-except from the Star's article.

It differs from people to people.There are so many varieties of them , but well , you get the idea of it now don't you ? :) Basically , personal truths are things that you know it to be true and full heartedly believe in it.It's useful to remind ourselves how much we do know,and sobering to realise that even when we do know something, we don't always act on it .

I believe that procrastination is the thief of time. But still I do little in avoiding the bad influences of procrastination.These personal truths are useful as they serve as a reminder and guidelines in life to help us move forward, and I think it's important that people realise its existence :) .

Here are some of my list of personal truths :
1) Great songs cheer me up at any time of the day :D
2)Just being alone in a quiet, tranquil ,cosy environment , clears my mind and relaxes me
3)Saying that I will play just one dota game and spend the rest of my day studying is nonsensical.
4) same goes to just switching on computer to go online for awhile and spend the rest studying. Nonsense.
5)It takes time to unlearn bad habits and keep the new good habits . Without motivation,it could never have been possible.
6) No one can stay happy or sad all the time , it's just that everyone's transition time to change from one mood to another varies. :D

What's your personal truths ? :)

Teacher's Birthday

Staring at the wristwatch , awaiting time to pass by faster so that the bell would ring ,marking the end of the mundane , boring lesson.Normally, that would be the routine during my everday school life. However, on Friday , 9th of July, things were a little bit different . It was Hari Waris Jaya. * sorry i dunno what it's called in English* Anyway, on that day, there would practically be no lesson as it is the day where all the dedicated and committed parents will come to school to ask about their son/daughter's performance and attitude in school.

Lucky for me , my parents are the types that don't give a damn about shits like this :D If there's one thing that I would be thankful for ,it would be that my laziness is a direct inheritance from them xD. Anyway, moving on . So, if there's no lesson , why the hell would I go to school on a fine friday morning instead of sleeping and daydreaming on my bed happily ?

The answer is because.... it was our form teacher's BIRTHDAY ! :D Holla ! It is at times like this that the ppl from my class would be united for a brief moment .Our Form Teacher, Pn Jumaiyah has been a great and patient teacher , though she's a new trainee teacher, we appreciate her hardworking effort and her saintly patient to be able to stand the outrageous attitudes of the students in my class. * yup that includes me *

For that , on her birthday , we planned a surprise birthday party for her.Okay,now,for the most anticipated moment , the pictures ~
The chocolate cake ! Ladies, tempted yet ? :P
Surprise ! Touched ? :D
Group Photo.
Vain moments in classroom.
Vain moments 2 !
Vain moments 3 !
The VIP of the day .

That's all for the day .After that the classroom goes back to the mundane and boring atmosphere. *Yawns* ok back to sleep . until next post :D Cya.

King And I

Holla ! Good day people ! Sorry, it has taken so long for yours truly to actually had the energy to get out from his lazy chair and started blogging . =) Procrastination really is a force to be reckoned with,especially much so when one have been practising it for the past 18 years lol.

Anyway, moving on. As promised on the last blog post. I shall be blogging about the "King And I" play produced and acted by the talented casts of Penang Free School . On 4th of July 2010, SMK Penang Free had staged a play entitled "King And I " in Dewan Sri Pinang.

Basically , this story revolves around the King of Siam,acted by pfs student ,Brian John Dorai,acting the kind but ignorant king that thinks that men are greater than women in every aspect and that women's only role is to entertain and teach men.While the main actress, Charisma, acted as Anna, the sophisticated,modern English teacher that came from England at the request of the King of Siam to educate his children.

I must say , I was rather amazed at their performance.Frankly speaking ,having seen their rehearsals in school hall, I was just expecting an average performance, just slightly above average at their best .However, I was blowed away when the play started.It really is gratifying to see that pfs managed to stage a play of this quality given its deteriorating status.Judging from the positive feedbacks from the audience, I say that the tradition of the play isn't going away anytime soon =). Okay ,enough comments, here are some pictures and video to entertain u guys who happened to miss this grand production :D

Oh,and here's a video for you guys who missed it ;) Have fun.

Bawh

This has been a week full of surprises. I mean really big surprises. It has been one hell lot of emotional roller coaster I have been undergoing tis week. But then again, since when do I not been on emotional roller coaster in any week? ok enough nonsense.. now, for rants and news.

******
Let's start with the bad news ok ? Recently,one of my friend's mom has just passed away. So, I would like to dedicate this post to her.Life can be so fragile at times. One second you might be working,having fun,doing whatever you like like there's no tomorrow and another second you might be dead . That's how unexpected and unfair life is.Why must good ,honest ,down-to-earth have to be called home so fast while some pathetic,despicable creatures donning the human mask continue to run around causing chaos and wreaking havoc. It's unfair really.My friend is a great guy, he's humble and modest and in reality, one of the best friend I have ever known so far. Now that such calamity befalls him , I wonder how he would survive. Nevertheless, I know he will make it . May everything be well for him and his family. *Names have been hidden to preserve the privacy of my friend. I don't feel it is appropriate to say it out "

*****
Alright, moving on.I have had a few surprises this week. Happy surprises,luckily.Recently, I have been involved in a kinda big project of charity involving big guns in the society and I am rather honoured to be able to learn and work from them . Details on the project shall be revealed soon =D. And there are times when my mood swing goes extremely crazy when I felt like being at top of the world , everything within my reach and grasp . It's a nice feeling really . And there are times where I would just lie back ,relax and wonders and ponders about every little thing in life..

In reality, I felt extremely grateful and gratified that I have been blessed with whatever I am having now. Though at times I would still have the feeling of envy over others,but hey, nobody is perfect right ?=) Given the opportunities I have been offered and the great friends I am having now ,who am I to complain ? Nevertheless, I still strive to be happier and more successful in life.Ok, enough of stupid nonsense. Here are some pictures to entertain you bastards who don't like blog with a lot of words . =p
The gay guy who sits beside me lol XD ( dont kill me for tis teng aun lol )
