A gentle reminder to all girls out there,

"Girls are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. The boys won't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree"

there is NOTHING wrong with you.

you are PERFECT.

just the way you are :)

cheers!

The biggest problem with humans

is that we take things for granted.

we assume that we will live forever and have an eternity to do what we wanna do.

for example,

i was typing out a few blog posts about debate and many other fragmented thoughts.

i assumed that i would have the time to post them.

now i've lost the feel and they'll never be published.

today is one day before Hari Raya.

A beautiful celebration that everyone looks forward to.

The mercun and the lemangs and the house visiting.

Today is also the day that the news of two more loss reached me.

While the world is busy being happy and excited for tomorrow,

two families mourning the deaths of a loved one while the rest of the world celebrates.

see now,

the thing is i am not advocating that we live our lives so fearful of death that we stop living.

i just needed to remind everyone (even myself)

that we are NOT immortal.

that we are NOT invincible.

that our loved ones are NOT immortal or invincible.

that we WILL die one day.

so let's stop saying that we would do that tomorrow.

let's stop contemplating whether or not to let that person know i love them.

let's stop being mean just because we are in a bad mood.

let's stop for a moment and hold our tongue, because those might be the last words that you might ever say to them.

let's stop taking things for granted.

stay safe,

and have a happy raya.

so,

tomorrow will be my first ever debate tournament.

i can feel those butterflies in my stomach =S

all i wanna do is to give it my best,

and emerge out of it wiser.

ah,the fear of the unknown.

.

on a lighter note,

the drama team went out for our long over due lunch together.

it was good to be out with them again,

just eating and laughing with no worries.

and!

we had a great photo session.

here are a few of my favs.

legs and pretty lighting :)

friendship isn't about being there when it's convenient,

it about being there when it's not.

sometimes,we just need to look away from the ugly and savor the beauty of life.

it's okay to be who we Asians really are ;)

no matter how sad you are, just remember happiness is not far away ;)

the smiles, the surprises, the sad moments and moments that leave you clueless,

that's what life is made of.

signing off ppl,

do pray for me!

have a great weekend

xx

like seriously,

this HAS to be worth it one day.

omg the amount of facts.

the NAMES of the parties.

why can't people have short and decent names?

like Harry Potter or I DUNNO, Brad Pitt or something.

Seriously,

don't these parents pity their kids trying to learn their own name?

and in exams,

omaigosh.

u know when we have to write our names on every piece of paper?

kesian.

haha,

enuff with the ranting,

back to contract.

do pray for me people.

p/s : ugh! i'm missing out on KLOC debate fun ='(

when you count your blessings,

don't look at it's size.

rather,study the uniqueness of each and every gift from God.

you'd be surprised as to how much more they mean,

in comparison with those "big ass" achievements.

if anything else,

those teeny things are the vital ingredients in enabling you to achieve big.

here's to a fruitful weekend.

cheers.

today's debate practice has been rewarding.

it's one step closer to being better,

and one step away form being bad at it.

i managed a 4 and the half minutes speech on rebuttals and one point alone.

and i wasn't through with my point.

although BC said that it was a time management problem (which it was)

it felt good to be short of time instead of being in excess of it :D

baby steps jess,baby steps. :)

on another note,

i'm just exhausted.

i do not want to be the 5 minute girl.

i wanna be able to to fill up my 7 minutes,

and be good at it.

Lord,

please grant me the courage to move on,

even when it all seems bleak and dark.

Amen.

so...

there's an arisz reunion this weekend.

many can't make it =(

and i do have a contracts test on monday.

dunno whats up with me but have been slacking a lot lately.

i'm kinda excited yet freaked out by the fact that there's debate tomorrow night.

oh well,

do one thing a day that scares you.

i guess that's the thing i have to do. :)

oh well,

that is all i guess.

among other things.

hey,

thx,

much love.
