"Said Also Dun Listen, Listen Also Dun Understand,
Dun Understand Also Dun Ask, Ask Also Dun Do,
Do Also Do Wrong, Wrong Also Dun Admit, Admit Also Dun Correct,
Correct Also Not Happy, Not Happy Also Dun Say
"

The above is a quote that i got from my brother's blog.. well after reading this really makes me feel how sad life it.. it seems like we are just beating around the bush in life and we are all hiding and running from ourselves and others... i feel that this is especially true for the communication between teenagers and those who are more senior or perhaps even between friends.. many pple usually says "if u don say it out and keep things to urself, we will never ever understand wat u think.." or " u will definitly feel better after pouring all ur troubles out.. so don keep quiet..." But seriously and truthfully, how many times we actually listen to others.. "not happy also don say.. say also don listen..." i am guilty i must say...

before i continue, i must say this.. bernard u are heard by me... i know u must be laughing at this but i must say that i am glad to have a friend like u in my life.. thanks for being there for me when i was in hospital and informing the rest from Senmina.. thank u for taking care of me especially for the 2 months plus that we spent in Senmina.. i really had a great time being a side-kick, and i will not ever complain, cos without u, i don think i would have gone that far.. there are really lots that i need to learn from u.. somehow i am beginning to miss the days that we spent at senminar, all the jokes that we cracked, all the goosips we made and all the songs that we sang (some are ridiculously lame, if u could still remember.. we came out our own funny lyrics..). this is the most enjoyable job that i have done for the past 22 yrs and i am glad that i have u to go through this with me.. a very big thank u to u..

"Friends. A simple word isn't it? It's uttered everyday to almost every person imaginable. Who are your friends? I used to think that friends were the people that you could laugh and talk to. Now I know that friends aren't that, they're the people that touch ur heart. You could spend hours with them doing nothing at all and it can be the best time of your life, just becuase it was with them. They're the people you can
share your secrets with, cry with, laugh with, and just have fun with. They don't judge you or make you change. They accept you exactly as you are. They look at you and they see a great person, one they love spending time with. You all share something in common and are tied together by memories, tears, laughs and smiles. You're tied together by love for the other. Friendship is the strangest but greatest thing in the world. I find my time with my friends, the best times of my life. My friends are my heart, my soul, my fun, my laughter, tears, love and my life." -Kate Tierney

Joining the mentoring sessions really gives me a lot of motivation in life. I must say that i truely enjoyed the time that i spent in bp mentoring. Firstly, the people whom i met there are friends that anyone and everyone would like to meet as they are very nice and accomodating pple. well at least i feel very comfortable being with them even though i still don know most of the members there as we are all separated to differents schs in singapore. i will try and make an effort to get to know them well before our paths split in the future...

the mentees can be very naughty and nasty as well. but i feel that it is ok as they are still young.. they are still in the learning phase.. at least they still have the 'qing chun' to be naughty.. well i don think we can ever be like them at our age now.. we have to be responsible for everything that we do and say.. many a times we hurt pple with every actions and words, done and said unknowingly and pple will get offended and hurt... when this happens, misunderstandings occurs.. and if it is not resolved, probable we cant even be friends anymore.. we cant afford to be childish now.. how i wish that i can turn back time and live my life again and undo things that i have done wrong.. but i know this can never happen... i have to grow up...
