Starter for Ten

I'm on a movie streak these 2 days. Here're some things I'd like 2 share from this movie that I thought might b motivating.

"the people who really care about u dont mind if you make mistakes.it's wat u do next tat matters.and u cant see that, then u're not smart as i tot u were." - Jackson's mum

"I admit it, I've made some mistakes, ok... some big mistakes... loads of em.but u cant hide in ur room 4ever feeling sorry 4 urself. it's not practical. at some point u've gotta get back out there,face out with things, and confront ur demons.

and yes... i've made some bad choices, logde my head, ppl i let down, ppl i care for,but there's still time to get something right. Eversince I remember, I wanted to be clever. some ppl r borned clever, someway some ppl r borned beautiful, I'm not 1 of those ppl, i've gotta work for it, put in d effort. If im missing out, I learn from it. Besides, sometimes it's not about knowing d right answer, sometimes it's about asking the right question." - Jackson's voice.

Su Mi Ma Sen, Love

yes... I actually watched a love movie. actually it was great!!! I liked the author's storyline tho. Eventhough the ending is skeptical, but I guess it ending shouldn't be determined by the author himself. that's y I think it's perfect; you wouldn't say it's faked. I do believe in sth called Fate, but to what extent is the question. ok la... I was moved...

Im so excited!!!

sometimes I think we only learn how to be grateful only when we see things happening in front of us. you just wont know what to say.

I was driving back to my hometown just nw at nite. I've been seeing this for some times. Usually at nite, I'll see people walking on d road, holding stacks of photocopied NOMBOR EKOR results to make some money. They wait for the traffic lights to turn red, then they start walking from d beginning till d end, looking for ppl to buy their copy. I watched them. I guess 1/25 or sometimes NONE! would buy the photocopied paper. It's sold 40c per piece. Come on! how much can you earn?! I don't know. They don't carry a lot of photocopied paper, cuz they dont wanna risk keeping extra copies. so i guess d cost would b 5c to 10c per paper. How long can your night go? 4-5 hrs? How many times of red lights? each green light you walk to d beginning. How long can you stand? I think 80% of ppl buy newspapers n able to check it without buying.

I'm just speechless. My heart of kinda cold. It's at night and I bet it's not gonna be the main source of income for him. I paid him RM1 and asked him to keep the change. In my heart, I thought if I had the money, I'd just pay him rm30 and make him happy for the day. Naturally crimes can happen when we're fighting for survival! There're ppl out there trying to make ends meet, and there're also ppl clubbing almost every week. I feel like laughing when I hear ppl saying, "eh!!! next week let's go Poppy!!!". Of course, I did say those kinda things b4, so I laugh at myself for saying that too. Now I wouldnt. I hope god would bless them and give them a better next life. We should play a part in making the society a better one.

Elephant Mindset

A very inspiring incident I'd like to share. Perhaps I could retype the passage again.

"As my friend was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by d fact tat these huge creatures were being held by only a rope tied 2 their legs. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime break away from ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they didnt. My friend saw a trainer nearby and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away.

well, he said, (when they r young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them n at tat age, it's enuf to hold them. As they grow up, they're conditioned 2 believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they nvr try to break free.) My friend was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were. The powerful and gigantic creature has limited its present abilities by limitations of its past.

Like elephants, how many of us go through life holding onto a belief that we cannot do sth, simply because we failed at it once b4? how many of us refude 2 attempt sth new n challenging cuz our so called MINDSET?"

YOUR ATTEMPT MAY FAIL, BUT NEVER FAIL TO MAKE AN ATTEMPT.

CHOOSE NOT TO ACCEPT THE FALSE BOUNDARIES AND LIMITATIONS CREATED BY THE PAST.

>.<" wahhhh... seriously... entering FINAL year already... i can feel a thing called... SH*T.

Some people might criticise him for changing the way he's suppose to be, but I think he's the person with a lot of determination to be a SUPERstar and legend to us. Best All Time Entertainer by Guiness Book of Records.

Knowing

another fantastic movie I've watched. Fantastic in a sense that the author tries to convey msg-es in a creative manner. I've noticed the trend of movies nowadays are more into global warming and aliens... hahaha... now going back to interesting aliens... last time was action-packed james bond, tom cruise... b4 tat was aliens... =) again... i'd suggest ppl to watch this show though there're kinda freaky scenes... most of d time my bulu roma naik... hahaha...

21st birthday + gathering

Had a happy birthday and gathering with primary school friends... =) will post up photos later...

I'm starting to feel a fear, fear of how will I be in years to come. I don't know y I have to fear but I guess it's because I'm starting to expect much, thinking beyond. The feeling was actually like how I felt when I first entered secondary school - fearing of losing out in society and I can't cope with my studies. Just the difference is I m able to manage myself better than before. Reflecting on the workers and staffs of various levels, this 1st new week of training experience led me to putting myself into their shoes. I felt that I need to start doing something now if I want to achieve my target/dream.

My parents asked me what I want for my 21st. It seems that 21st is a big deal FOR A MOMENT, but somehow I guess it's nothing special. M i missing a great opportuniy? Then I started seriously thinking... what I want? I told em, it seems that I don't want anything from them. because watever I want will depend on my effort and my determination to get it. yes, I want money, but I don't want a temporary amount of money, I want the money that can REPLICATE!

I think I'm racing against time to be independent because I'm going 2 be in society contributing in a year from now. That is the reason y I insisted in driving at night back to hometown. I have the fear and I know the risk, but I want to encounter it. in fact, yesterday I was kinda scared. hahaha... cuz I unknowingly took a whole new route down. of course, many things were going thru my mind that time. =) if you asked me whether it was right or wrong, I'd say I chose it, there's no right or wrong. there's a consequence.

I'm still observing.
