Yesterday I was bored, nothing to do

So I ended up staring at an ant, carrying something which resembles a sesame seed

And I never thought that by doing so, I'll learn a valuable lesson from something so small...

The ant was trying to climb up a wall, carrying big sesame seed along with it

It was struggling more and more as it climbed up

Halfway through, it fell, along with the sesame

"Aiya, it fell" I said out subconsciously

Suddenly, dad was beside me

"Ants wouldn't give up so easily" He said

True enough, the ant went back up with the sesame seed again, this time it used a different technique, by pulling it, rather than pushing it up whenever it is tired

Then, it met an obstacle - a power socket

And it went against gravity and climbed upside down with the sesame seed

I was amazed

It came close to failing a few times though, and it was really really struggling hard

"It'll drop" I thought, and turned my attention to somewhere else

A few moments later, I turned back - the ant had already past the socket and climbing higher

I was even more amazed

Though it dropped the sesame seed soon after that (it didn't drop down, only the sesame seed dropped), it still went past the huge obstacle

I was amazed, inspired

I should never give up

The tiny ant taught me a huge lesson in life

Thank you guys, for using all the different methods to bring me back again

This episode would make me a stronger person, what doesn't break u make u stronger, I agree with that completely

Thanks Siti, for slapping me verbally, u rock ;)

Death

  I’m sorry to let you down, papa, mama.  I just want to know that it’s the hardest decision that I’ve ever made, to leave you. But living on has become increasingly difficult. I have left some money for the both you, please take care of your health.  Don’t be sad, because life goes round, and one day we will meet again. I’m sorry to have taken the easy way out. You wanted me to become someone useful but I’m here stuck in a job for years and not wanting to move because of so many reasons.  I’m sorry to let everyone down, I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. I think it’s finally time to do it. I would like Eileen Gwee to have 1/3 of my fortunes, with the rest going to my parents. Eileen, I’m sorry that our last memory is of you being disappointed in me. I’ll try to be a better person in the next life. I’m sorry to have taken the easy way out, it’s so hard. We are not married yet, but I love you more than anyone I’ve been with. I don’t know if you’d ever beli...

resolutions

It has been a year of ups and downs with The Girl and we really went through a lot as a couple. Sometimes I feel as if we're going too fast, and maturing too fast as a couple (cos we've experienced so much together) but I guess it is fine cos we were able to learn a lot about ourselves and about each other as we got through the year. Having said that, I do wish that 2011 was better. There are improvements to be made, girl to cherish more (you know who you are) and fats to be lost in 2012. Here are my resolutions for the coming year. 1) To be able to fit into XL or L shirts by Christmas 2) To qualify for Honors 3) To become a better person 4) To take up a new sport and keep to it 5) To spend my first paycheck on Joanna Hope that it'd all be fulfilled if the world doesn't end! :DDDD
