friends

You can be surrounded with a large group of people and call them friends.
But how many of those can you trust, to be there, when you need help, be it financially, emotionally, mentally or spritually?
You are lucky, if you can find 1 true friend out of perhaps a 10 or sometimes maybe even more. A friend that understands you,loves you for who you are, bring out the best in you, not afraid to tell you off when they need to and most importantly you can find them there when you need them most.
It's not the quantity that counts but the quality. Some people just don;t understand the value of friendships. They consider every people they meet, just another number added to their list. What's the point, of surrounding yourselves with people, that don't appreciate you , are you trying to win a popularity contest or what? What happens after you've won ?

I don't make friends easy, and if people are not willing to be friends with me, that's fine with me. After all, there's no such rule that everyone has to like you, to make you a worthy person. I used to think that, there must be something wrong with me, when a friendship goes wrong or it just doesn't start the way I want it to be. But I guess i was wrong , having those thoughts. Now I realised, that they are the ones losing out .

But thank God, that he sent 3 angels into my life. 3 different types of angels. We've known each other for almost 8 years. Even though far apart, but always be in my heart. Even when we are leading different lives now, but our memories will always bind us together. Thinking back our sec sch lives were pretty dramatic, the way we fought , laugh and cried. Pretty embarrassing but it was a phase we had to go through, amazing how 4 of us stayed together throughout those years. But no matter what, you guys are irreplaceable and if it was to be asked, how close would i allow another friendship to get near my heart, answer would be, you have to get through 3 angels to come near my heart. which 3? The Education Department/Deep greenForest, The Information Technology Department/casual Loo- Executive and Bitching/Marketing /marriage Department. Sounds easy, but nooo.

I've learnt, that even though it hurts when you find out people don't feel the same way u do, it does not mean you've to treat them any lesser that what you;ve been treating them.
Sometimes, it's the giving process, that makes everything interesting.

And my 2 other special angels.. Julie and Tam
Even though I've known you guys for..less than a year..but I'm so happy to have met u.
Your stories touches me, your strength encourages me, your determination inspires me and your appreciation of everything big or small, just overwhelms me with so much joy.
Even when life is unfair to both of you, u guys, just...never give up and even embrace life with such graciousness. Both of you've made me see life in a different way, and i've become more appreciative because it was both of u who taught me two of the most important lessons in life, Appreciation and gratitude.

Thanks for everything Angels.
If there was a phrase that I could use, to describe how you 5 angels changed my life
it would be none other then

You've released the Angel inside the Devil, and it would be extremely impossible for u to accomplished for the *real Devil* LoL but either way I feel so angelic now..lol
* heavenly heavenly skies here I come* lol

When you are surrounded by angels, it's hard not to act like one!!

Do not be discouraged by the obstacles that are standing in your way. Different countries have different education systems. Singapore's education system, is so much tougher than in Aus, they push you so hard, you don't even get a chance to breathe for a moment. But that pushing, in someway actually helps you to be more focused on your schoolwork. In Aus, uni is more about independant learning. Not many rules. My eyes and brain lit up, when the lecturer says it's not compulsory to attend lectures and tutes. Is that a good thing, I don't think so. It's just the start of the year and i'm already looking for excuses to be lazy.

Either by hecs or bank loan..at the end of the day, Uni fees have to be repaid. Singapore can't afford a hecs system because it is a small dotty country, small population = small amount of tax payer's cash unlike Australia. It is a huge country, big population = loads of tax payer money and the government is rich enough to offer a hecs system to students.

There are always pros and cons of studying in different countries. You'll be unhappy when comparing the system in singapore to the one your heart desires for because more then often, it never gets fulfilled.But when you try to look through the eyes of a child in Africa who is thirsting for knowledge but havent got the resources to learn or a child in China who wants to go to school, but no school is available, you'll realised that you've gotten everything they long for. Being able to get your basic education from kindergarden, then to primary, on to secondary, then to poly, finished poly. Don't you think that, even though you might not be able to do the course you want now or able to afford uni fees in sg..for now, you are still a lucky person?

Even though,..fees might be too expensive now or you can't get into the course for now..your education resources are always there.

So cHeeR up gurLs...dON'T frown..look at the wrinkles..showing..Lol

P.S I'm not having so much fun in Uni..Over here, it feels like, "You do, you'll pass,You don't, you fail, no one gives a damn! No idea what my assignment is talking about and itz due on Mon 19march......There's so much freedom over here, too much freedom to be lazy to get lazy..And then the next thing u noe,,ur slacking behind and soon you're just another Uni drop out.

i dunnnnnn wan to be a drop out.

LOVE
