I have always believed that something bad will always happen after something good as occured. Let's say I was having a terrible day at school. Chances are that when i return home, it'll either be happy or normal with no arguements or scolding. Something like that.
Actually I have a lot of different concepts that I believe in. Another one is don't expect anything. Like seriously. That way you'll be a lot happier.
There is this observation made by someone but i'm not sure who and when i saw it but anyways... The thing was that in a competition, there is always 1, 2, 3 positions right? By right most people would say the happiest would go in the order 1-3. However that is untrue. Yes, the first place would be happy (if he was not he has a serious problem 0_0) but the second place person would be like emo-ing over the fact that he missed by just one position only. Like he'll keep dwelling over mistakes and stuff. On the other hand, the third position person would simply be happy that he actually GOT into the top 3. Lesson learnt? Be the best or don't expect anything/too much.
Ok that day my dear friend Liying was trying to cheer me up by asking me to read a blog post by this person who's popular. She was saying that people SHOULD dream and dare to try to achieve. But what she said was not wrong. It was the method. She says to simply like write out what you want 10 times everyday and sooner or later it'll work. Cos she says that by being negative nothing would be achieved and that by being positive, "good things will come'. YAY IM LIKE THE TOTAL OPPOSITE BEING ALL PESSIMISTIC AND SO. Ahem. Ok few major things wrong with this theory.
1) Imagine. You just simply wish for something like, "I wanna time travel./I want to land on the sun." Do you seriously think that it's possible? Even until you die? The time travel maybe lah but i think confirm cannot. But the sun one you think can? Oh sure I'll write that a 100 times a day and I'll land on the sun sooner or later. Yeah. When I landed, I died.
2) So everyone should stop working. Why you may ask? Since by using a piece of paper and pencil and writing 10 times is all i need, i should just wait patiently. Anonymous stated that you didn't even need to do anything. Okcan. Advice taken. Everyone stop dwelling over life. Let's all sit down in one circle and write "I wanna be a billionaire." Our problems are all solved. And in our spare time let's sing the Billionaire song just to pass time too. Please, I would provide paper and pencil for all the african children if that worked. And how to write, "I want food."
3) If this is meant to boost moods, I think it's demoralising for pessimistic people like me yay. Cos as everyday passes, it just remind us of how unreal and impossible this is. Then yay we give up.
But like really, seriously. Do you think it'll work? My mom supports me on this lol.
[Dear Christians reading this, this was written as a view and opinion and is not meant to be of any insulting or disgrace to God. I respect him and this was just a simple past event. Thanks for understanding. :)]
There was this incident once when during my kindergarden, which was a church kindergarden, and there was this teen who was giving a talk. She was talking about her exams. She said that she had been goofing off a while before the exams. Then when the dates came closer she realised she had to start studying. Then is like super rush. But she prayed for As and she tried to study the bit she could. Then her conclusion was that she ended up getting all As and it was all God's work. Then I was telling my Mom God was so good. Then she told me that she didn't like it. (She's a free-thinker) She said that that girl's action was not right. It does not mean that she can just slack for the whole year and when exams are coming she starts praying and her problems are solved. It's not right. The mentality was wrong.
I kinda hafta agree cos things don't exactly come that easy. Hard work is definitely involved.
The next thing. Luck. I think it is a very subjective thing.
Yay flashback time again... It was the SJAB walkathon thing. No more shall be said. Ok then I was sitting down with my division. We had these towel thingys that actually had some numbers and they were meant for a lucky draw. Ok now I was sitting with my no. 3, Nicole, and she was having a headache. So I helped her watch and listen for her number. It was like the rest of the schools had multiple people winning and our school was still 0. I was like hoping to win something lah, but nothing came as usual. But as i waited for Nicole's number, I had this nagging feeling that she would definitely win something. Anything. She would simply just get it. And I was right. The next thing i knew was that she won.
Another person again. 6Care register number pal Jiaying. :) She was lucky enough to meet JB if I'm not wrong.
And there was also this person who said this before. He said that millions are starving in Africa, yet in other countries and in our very homes, we are living life perfectly and we are wasting tons of food they could be eating. Why is that so? Why are some people simply born in poorer families? Why do some people have an easier life? Why do things just come to some people? Why is it that only that minority can have anything they want?
Yes some people do have things like these cos they earned it. I can understand that. But the rest I simply cannot comprehend.
Ok i shall stop grinding my brain with this useless stuff. :P About my dedications, the one to my squad shall all be emailed due to various reasons. Then next would most probably be to art club and then to individuals already. :> And yet again I'm really sorry if i did not mention about you cos I know we all had some great times but there would seriously be too many haha. Paiseh ah. :X
Anyway until then, (hopefully soon...)
Smile lots and lots and since I'm not writing a dedication on my blog to my squad I shall at least say this.
I LOVE TRIPLEONE. YOU GUYS WERE AN AWESOME SQUAD AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE. NEVER FORGET ONE ANOTHER BECAUSE TRUE FRIENDSHIP IS FOREVER.
MAY OUR MEMORIES STAY GOLD FOREVER, AS WE KEEP MARCHING ON.
