Friendship

According to George Elliot,

"Friendship is the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person,
 having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words."

According to C.S Lewis, 

"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival."

Based on my past experiences, friendship in primary school and secondary school, to me, it is just friends that you need at school. some people that studied together, helping each other in homework or revision, somebody you talk to during recess time or free periods, somebody you go with when going to canteen or washroom, and somebody to join with during the celebration visiting. then, after years of school routines, you thought they are your best friends and promise to meet or gather oftenly. Promise to meet every time we have "university break". PROMISE,  ya right. our messages to each other has reduced from daily, then, weekly, monthly, semiyearly and finally annually. therefore, i always have the perception that friends are just someone that you need at that MOMENT! temporarily and not permanent? what you say? 

And NOW, i have 3 very close friends, Mas, Mich and Miley. we have clicked to each other since 2009. 2009-2012. it has been 3 years. We always together, go to class together, walk back together, assignment together, outing together, travelling together, eating together, gossiping together and bla bla. although some time we might quarrel (not exactly quarrel, but just some upset toward certain behaviors, action, words), but we will get back to each other in a short time. 

BUT, will this relationship end up like my previous relationship?  we just need each other for 5 and the half years and that all. will we friends forever? i have asked myself the same question for gazillion times. Countdown for our friendship, another 2 years, will this happen? 

Hopefully NO...hopefully this quadruple friendship will last eternally. Like what ppl say "Friends Forever". Easy to say, hard to maintain. I should have faith in it, isn't is?

Should we fix a day for our friendship? A day to remember our relationship and celebrate it annually. And see how many ANNIVERSARY can we celebrate? Call it a M3P day? haha...

Life without love and friendship is no life at all. A true friend stays like a rock with you in all the ups and downs of your life and helps y

ou to remain calm and composed in all difficult situations. 

Appreciation

I feel like crying every time encounter stories, news, or articles about the contributions of parents or grandparent....looking at how parents, grandparents contribute so so much for their children or grandchildren...how could their love be some great, so kind, so generous and extremely selflessness...people always blame about the slow and weak movement of their old parents, do you ever remember how parents guide us patiently when we're just learning to walk when we're a baby...they protect us from falling and blame themselves every time we fall. Young people also easily feel irritated when parents request to learn computer...parents just learn so slow that sometime we feel irritated...honestly, sometime i feel that too...but thinking back, when i was young, parents teach us to read, write and speak patiently...from zero knowledge of any word until high literacy potential...how patient they are in reading us stories during bedtime although we might not understand the language at all.

Dear Parents...we appreciate that. Thank you!

在中国广州McDonald，每天都有一位阿婆准时来买两个雪糕，~ 一个自己吃，一个给他孙子~ 但直到雪糕全部溶化，却从来都没有人见过她的孙子~ 因为她儿子已经很久没有去回家看妈妈了，所以阿婆也很久没见到疼爱的孙子了~

This is a real story that i read on FB just now...it talked about a grandmother at Guang Chou, China. She goes to McD everyday at the exact time to buy 2 ice creams. one for herself and one for her grandchild. but until the ice cream is fully melt, grandma has never see her grandchild..bcoz her son has not coming home for a long time, so grandma has missed the grandchild for a long period of time. she just miss him and hope that he will meet and gather with her grandson one day at McD. how slim is the chance of meeting him, but grandma never give up. i salute u, grandma. 

Dear grandma, i pray for u...pray that your dream will come true soon...

I was quite sad last Friday! i can feel that i did badly for my LGA paper last semester. Madam commented a lot on our paper. Some people passed with flying colours and some with great improvement. but me? Madam did not mention anything anything about me. she said that vic ad fiona did very well for the paper. it is not just excellence, it was distinction. beside them, may and michelle were being praised too, madam said see can see the improvement in them. their english get better. how about me? i always wonder if i have made the  right decision to enter institute to become a ENGLISH teacher. can i manage my language? did i improve in these 3 years time? am i going to be an excellence english teacher in another 2 years time? can i can i? this is the question that i always ask myself?

what should i do to improve my english tremendously? i tried all those methods...reading...interact in English...but then, it does not accelerate my language...i really need to pull up my sock..i know that i'm still not up to the standard of a year 2 degree trainee. i really need to read more...i mean really MORE! not longer 2 novels in a month...should i make it double...YES! I THINK SO! one novel in a week. and subscribe back reader's digest...i spend so much money on food. a lunch at Jetpot of life cafe can cost me more that 10bucks and i being so stingy by not spending only 8 bucks per month to buy reader's digest. Am i
right? watever it is, i still very disappointed with myself. i do not wish to be the most excellence in the class, but only hope that someone can recognize my improvement in English!

New semester, new start and new life!

i really though i can start my new life, forgetting all the unpleasant experiences during the lecturers, uncomfortable relationship with some of my friends and the most important is to forget or even to delete the memory of someone. someone that only appears in my life for 2 years but stay in my brain for 4 years. 

Wake up, Yen. it is not worth-it! just forget about him. 

Yeah, i have decided! Forget abt him.

He really looks like him. the nose and the eyes especially. am i going to face him everyday i go for photocopy or just having meals at cafeteria. how ? how? how? what should i do? am i so bad that the God wants to punish me like this?
