Konayuki

SNOWPOWDER

Season of snow powder always come
Although we are mixed up with a mass of people
we are looking on the same sky
Blown by the wind, and we are chilled by it

I may not know everything about you
Nevertheless, I've found you among 100 million of
people
There's no proof but I'm very serious of it

It's impossible to live in the same time with no single quarrel
If we can't be honest, happiness and sadness are just meaningless
If the snow powder may whiten deep to our heart
Could we both share our loneliness?

I would press my ear near to your heart
And go down deep into the place where I hear that voice and meet you once again

We want to understand each other
It's me who softly brush the surface
Just by tightly gripping your numb and cold hand
We are tied to each other

Snow powder is too fragile
In front of us, keep on leaving stains on the rough asphalt forever

Snow powder doesnot rely on time, moving our heart
Nevertheless, I'd still like to keep on protecting you

If the snow powder may whiten deep to our heart
It will cover both our loneliness and return it to the sky...

~this is my favourite song from one litre of tears.

谢谢你.

当我已渐渐对它失去热忱时,
是你再次让我获得丛生。
你的那份诚意和对我不倦的鼓励,
叫醒了已进入昏迷状态的我。
谢谢你不曾放弃过我; 虽然我早已放弃了自己。。。
如果没有你不间断的支持, 相信我或许不可能再把它拾起。

我知道我们追求着同样的目标。
一起加油吧!
一路上有你伴随, 我深信接下来的路途无论多困难,我也不会孤单。

~可惜不是你。

Self-discovery.

the journey of self-discovery is inconvenient.
it takes us from periods of stability and integration to instability and intense growth, back to stability and integration at the next level.
when 2 year olds or teenagers move thru' instability, we consider it normal and say they are being 'difficult'; but when adults do it, we think it is self indulgent and say they are irresponsible.

yet, only by questioning conformity and ruffling a few feathers can we grow into a greater view of ourselves, our work and the world.

from: the ugly duckling goes to work on the fable the ugly duckling.

self discovery is important, yet we shld not withdraw ourselves totally while doing so.

my dkny watch :(

我徘徊着。
犹豫了四个多月。

为什么我总是让自己喜欢的东西如此擦肩而过?
我不是常叮咛别人要去争取自己的幸福吗?
我却那么轻易放手了。

愁的是伤心赎不回对他产生的爱慕之情。
那只不过是个没有生命的物品。


~当我看着他的眼神时,
我知道就算是我也取代不了他对她的牵挂。

From: The ugly duckling goes to work.

We do not succeed in life by having an enviable career;
we succeed by finding where we belong and becoming the person we were meant to be.

jus cos we live and work with people, that does not mean we belong with them;
we belong with those who share or encourage our longing.

jus cos we grow older, does not mean we grow to who we were meant to be.
we grow into our essence only when our false self images die and our true self is born.

stay true to urself and enjoy ur being.

my classmates can't wait for me to jus cut them short.

day dreaming.

the solitary life with the company fo great minds is the thoughtful life.

he's jus an observer.

Angelic Layer

Gd anime for kids.
In a competition, age and size doesn’t matter, cos the small sized hav their way of fighting too.
Was trying to imagine if I had an angel…
I’ll make it look like Hatako-chan!
Misaki, u are gd.
Thr true champion:
friendship comes first, competition comes later.
cares for ur angel.
though u can get hesitant when emotions overwhelms u, u still managed to carry off as the miracle rookie with endless determination.
You are the true strong character.

たのしいです!

this is my favourite character in the anime- hatako-chan!

inspired by Matthew.

doing two consecutive days of screening does help.

how?
cos u know what to expect and what how to handle.

did vision screening for specially abled kids at the rainbow centre.
i was scheduled for two days instead of my other clsmates who had one or none.

what do u usually think abt screeenings?
MEANINGFUL, right.

so these two days it was no exception and i brought home smt more personal.
cos i acty befriended my patients. they are my friends not my patients or subjects.

they gave me more respect than the usual patients i see in clinic even though some of them can't even say thank you.
y does ppl who can think, walk and do whatever they please can't even hold a finger to them?


on the first day i was quite upset to see how ppl can behave in the way some kids do.
when they shout and make noise everyone will turn to look at them, as if they are animals in the zoo stretching.
i tht they had lost their ability to think and ctrl their emotions like what normal human can do.

the kids whom i had the deepest impression today was 3 boys- Shu Hao, Keith and Matthew.

Shu Hao was a kid i gave to andrew to handle cos i was too busy.
he's really cute.
he thinks he's the power ranger.
he takes any toy u give, and he is nice to me than he is to andrew. lol, not that andrew is not popular, but its kinda of like u feel a bond with him.(:
like he'll give the toy his playing to me, instead of trying to stop me frm snatching it?

Keith was the boy under eddie who "treat his thomas and friends story book as his head" (well, it jus means invaluable in ed's terms.)
he doesn't read the book but he just kept holding the book and looking at it.
in the end i did manage to distract him and kept the book away from him, thinking that he will listen to us and do his eye tests but he begin to look for it when he realised its missing.
so in the end we still can't test on him. ><
and his teacher looked unpleased with me.
in a stern tone, and an expressionless face he said,

"can u pls return the book to him."

yes, its a full stop not a qn mark.
sighs, was it wrng to play with him?
i didn't think he even looked at me once, but one thing for sure is he loves his book more than anything else n u wonder, whats so interesting in the book.
that explains why i even bother to snatch it away from him as well.

the last kid- Matthew was my favourite kid of the day.
acty i was supposed to help ping han to capture his attention but in the end i played and talked to him.
he likes to draw and writes (sounds familiar, right XD)
he jus keep doodling on the white paper and draws on this white board.
i don't know how old is he but he knows abt keppel, ikea, imm and some geh poh thing.
what is all that doesn't matter, but do u think the sch taught him that?
he mus hav learnt it out of sch, and it subconsciously went into his subconscious mind.
what touched me most was he spelt his name when i only told him to do so ONCE.
means he does understand when we talk to them.
i heard these kids can sense the tone in ur voice?
so if u want them to listen to u, be cheerful and make friends with them!

but morale of the story is they do understand what ppl are trying to tell them- they jus hav some disability, they are not dumb!!
i hope the public don't cast their eyes on these kids as if they are idiots.
pls respect them like ppl, cos they respect u too.



A picture of Matthew's masterpiece
(note: qing, me, ed and andrew polluted it)

My hall stay.

在外居住是很不一的一件事,
你们知道吗?

以为常和朋友一起过夜能学习独立,不会想家。。。
我错了。

原来,回来的感觉那么的好。
家里能给你的温暖是独一无二的。
会更珍惜的。

~在小雪的鼓励下,我才开始用华文来博客。
希望这能加强你的写作灵感。
永远期待更好的自己!


this is very motivating...

School reopens.

Cut hair, pack bag, iron lab coat, rummaged through the wardrobe- enough formal?

Ok, everyone. Are ur ready for sch??
Yes, our last sem of our third year.
Treasure sch life and appreciate each other, cos we hav so little time in front of us.
It’s the end yet it signifies a new start- what does the future holds for us?
Anticipate and find out for urself.
Don’t panic abt ur future, take things in ur own strides like what aya told us. ^^

All the best for sch.:)

其实很多人都知道。。。

有那么一天,我问在班上对我来说最和睦的一群朋友:
‘你们在一起有什么共同点?’
他们犹豫了些许时间, 摇摇头说:
‘没有’
当时的我感到十分的诧异。


原来朋友在一起,并不需要有一样的嗜好。
最重要的是互相忍让和包容。
友谊如此。爱情如此。
要相信爱能战胜一切。


难道你不知道吗?

Self absorbed.

Don’t like to squeeze all my posts in one day, so I typed this in advance on MS.
Am I always in my own world?
Most of my friends will agree, I presume.
I do like to day dream and stone a lot, so I admit it.
I’m really self absorbed.
They told me its gd, cos u are oblivious to the things that are “none of ur business”.
However, I fail to agree- u will still be sad when u come out of ur world and realize how the others is coming to in this race among the humans.

As I grow older, I became more affected by the world n ppl arnd me.
I’m upset but I hav to realize that this is jus part of life and one day I will hav to learn to take things in my own strides.
My emotions, my principles.
For this reason, I cont’d to be captured in my own thoughts, subconsciously and consciously.
Its jus me.

E conclusion

b4 i start w my sec sch adventures, shall write an ending to my childhood years.
from the teachers, i grow with more knowledge and a positive attitude towards learning.
from my friends, i learnt how it feels like to be treasured and hurt.

it was fun having everyone arnd.
we still gather quite frequently in a small grp.
which i was glad abt.
they form most of my card playing gang.
most of us belonged to the same territory- AMK!
Well, life still seems simple for most of us,
exp for one who suicide, another that went to jail and one who married cos of pms.=X

for those who hasn't been coming:
u hav chose to forsake ur friends whom u made when the world is still as innocent as it is. its how u want to choose the friends u want to keep.

cried on graduation when they hav that song.
not cos i'm emotional? but cos the girl(my classmate) in front of me was crying.
i performed on stage that day, so i cried with make up. lol.
did anyone tell u i was frm chinese dance?

those scars i hav in in my childhood will not leave me, like wise i hope my pretty memories for my alma mater will not be forgotten as i grow up- cos it keeps my heart young.

FOND CHILDHOOD MEMORIES. *smiles* ^^

We need a D.

Learnt new card games!!
Hearts and black jack.
i said the card i liked the most is ace of spades, right?
i found the card i hate most- queen of spades.
Its amazing how many kinds of games can be derived frm jus a stack of cards.
How I’m relieved I don’t live in India -Cos u can’t play card games over there.
Card games are part of my socializing life.
Nvr tht I will be so into it, used to think they are only for gamblers.
I know I’m so wrng, my friends.

I realized the game is still fun without u.

my dear teachers. (3)

were there teachers in ur life whom really made an impact to ur life, gd or bad?
yes, i had.

Aries:
born on april fool's day, i nvr knew u had such motivation powers.:)
u were the only teacher who we trembled till our hands couldn't write when we knew u were coming to class.
u disliked me on our first meeting and told my form teacher i did not deserved to wear a prefect tie.
u told me u didn't accept late work when i was absent ytd and handed up the pets worksheet to u today.
what more do u ask from me?
is it a sin to be born blur?
u were the one who i hav feared and loved at the same time.
thank u for teaching me english, though i know u will feel that i'm a disgrace aft u hav read my blog.


...:
i was nurtured from young to love chinese.
but i couldn't hav done all this without u; without u instilling the interest for me in my mother tongue.
thank yous for making chinese fun with all ur lively lessons.
to learn a language u cannot blindly teach the vocabulary, u hav to let the student understand, understand what makes up the word and the idiom; like how u will make a student understand how a chicken lays an egg.
a language is more than jus words, its a diversification from the meaning of life.

Untitled.

its been more than a week,
but the tht still perturbs me; the times we hav spent together still whirls in my mind like nvr b4.
u hav been smt i dread and looked forward to for the last months,
so aware of it, so aware of u.
i was relieved that i can finally redeem back my freedom, and there's nth to what i desire.
i was pondering to let go, but i hesistated till u make the decision and broke our promise first.
i so believed that u hold my future, till i doubt it ytd.
i wish to thank u for the many things u hav taught and the chances u hav given to me.
u hav watched my growth and picked me up on the darkest days of my life; when i was still an amateur with absolutely no clues to survival.

The 4 of them. (2)

happy october, everyones!
i shall cont'd my story on this PH.
don't think i was nvr hurt in a friendship, i was.

Aquarius/pisces:
she was the friend who understands me really deep down.
i can jus stand in front of her and the next qn she pops me is what i am thinking abt. amazing, right?!^^
till now i still hav the impression that no one can understand me more than she did.
pity she immigrated to canada when we were in p5.
but the impact she left me lasted now, though it is slowly diminishing...
i'm glad she came into my life.
she taught me what it means to be important in her life, and i learnt how to face betrayal and misunderstanding.
if we had more time, i wished we can go back to be as close as we were in the past.
but what more can i ask for, we alr cleared the black clouds blocking us.
mb that was to prepare me to be independent of her...
i tried to stay in contact with her, and now i jus compromise with a xmas card for her every year.
hopefully she can come back to visit her friends here, u know what, she's not a singaporean.
thanks for letting me know what a friend can mean to me in my life,
i'll treasure my friends like how i shld hav treasured u:)

Leo:
leo girls are scary, don't u think so?
how does it feel like to be close to this person this very min and the next thing u know, she's not talking to u anymore, and not giving u a reason as to why she is avoiding u?
it HURTS, u know...
u scarred my childhood.
for i nvr knew friendhships nvr heals; i still rmb till this very day.
i can nvr face u up to this day.
i wonder y...its not like i hav done u wrong.
i really want to know why u avoided me then, even though it didn't mattered now.

Aries:
thank you for coming into my life, my upper pri life wont't be complete without u.
thanks for being there for me always, esp when she left.
though we are not really close, i realised we are friends forever, definitely.
u gave me hope when i tht the whole world was collapsing on me. ^-^
ur support has brought me this far.

Cancer:
u are the best neighbour i had, then till now.
thank u for being so mature, coming to my rescue when i least realise i need to seek help and giving me solutions to the problems i tht i could nvr solve.
i could nvr thank u enough for the values u hav taught me- how to face my problems with a brave and open heart. C=

An analogy...

copyrighted from XT:) :

when u're lonely, u are like a person in a valley.
now u hav two choices; to climb out or to remain there.

if someone wants to help u walk out of loneliness, that friend is like passing a rope to u to help u climb out of the valley.

however if its not the right person, he or she will not hav to enough strength to pull u out of the valley.
when u drop back into the valley aft u hav climbed halfway, u will sink even deeper.
u might from then on be too sorrowful to attempt to climb out of the valley again.

to be saved out of the valley, u need the right friend to show u hope and sunshine; the person with sufficient strength to sustain.
or u can jolly well cont'd life in the valley and overwhelm yourself in that gloominess.

for ppl waiting to be "saved":
wait patiently for the right person, but don't give up hope yet, k.^^

for ppl trying to save ppl:
don't be too kan chiong, pls check whether u hav enough strength to do so. only when u are confident, u can go ahead.
if not jus stand aside, we don't want a tragedy.
