• Random Thoughts About Life

  With much amazement, after I posted my last entry, Straits Times Life Awards published their nominated list of theatre productions in the year of 2008 in different categories in the Life Section the next day. Glad to say that my best local production is in the running for the best local theatre production for the year but sad to say, it is the only production I watched last year. Of course, it indirectly means that I am one level up in my theatre critics skills!! =)

  It's been a week of emotional rollercoaster. Definitely not one of the best week.
  A little relieved that I managed to play badminton with the gang finally. A little upset when I attended the funeral, yet again, of another fellow colleague in my workplace. I was shocked that I teared at the last moment but I suppose I can never accept an old folk to send her daughter off on her very last journey. A little angry for being made to take the whole blame of an unfortunate event at work when I ultimately did what was right in many people's opinion through their replies in emails. A little emotional when I heard some songs at JJ's concert. A little depressed by the slow progression in my study. A little perturbed by the necessity to celebrate a birthday on the actual day at the expense of others' suffering. A little regretful with the way I handled a helping hand with the selling of tickets. A little thankful to have met a long time friend - to know that she is getting along fine, married and staying into Tampines soon.  A little happy to have finally ran another 4.3 km around Bedok Reservoir after a good 6 months. A little moody with what was said about placing wrong priorities.
  
  Just as my blog says, "Life is full of pain, but does it get any better?"
  Well, such is life......

  (1) When one door of happiness closes, another window of opportunity is opened for us somewhere else. All we need is to realize this and look for it.
  
  (2) We win some, and we lose some. But don’t look upon every setback as a loss. Sometimes, you stand to gain more than you lose.

  (3) Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.

  (4) It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

  (5) Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
  
  (6) Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
  
  (7) May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.
  
  (8) Always put yourself in other's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.
  
  (9) The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

  (10) Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.
  
  (11) Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

  (12) It is okay to cry; it just shows we are human and we have emotions. But we must also know when the grieving should end and when life has to go on.
  
  (13) When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
  
  (14) Last but not least… It is better to have loved and lost it than never ever experienced it at all…

  Agree?
