after a night of pondering in bed cause i just couldnt seem to fall asleep.. i haf decided to use the technique of ignorance if anything were to happen in sydney.. i will just tolerate to wadever extent i can.. so my prayers for 6 days in sydney is that my parents dun quarrel and i'll be back quickly.. sounds like some tortue i am going to huh.. but i cant help it.. it was pretty difficult to go through it last nite already.. the art of ignorance was tested.. but it kinda failed within minutes cox i felt utterly bad for not doing anything.. and utterly sad that i teared.. oh well... it shall be proven that it can last 6 days.. ommmm....
maybe it's just something i cant help.. most of my frenz are concerned abt how my family is doing.. but somehow when anyone ask how my parents are doing.. they'll end up quarreling.. well.. if they do quarrel, u'll know it from reading my blog... cox i cant stand keeping the sorrow inside me.. it's breaking me apart.. if we are well.. then there'll be no sorrow in my blog.. hahaha...

as u can see it's my 2nd post for the day so most of u can tell i have lots of time.. decided to read some stuff n share with you guys..
We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge. People make mistakes.
We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.
Pause and ponder. Think before you act. Be patient. Forgive & forget. Love one and all.
If you judge people, you have no time to love them. -- Mother TeresaThere's a miracle called Friendship That dwells in the heart You don't know how it happens Or when it gets started But you know the special lift It always brings And you realize that Friendship Is God's most precious gift!
Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.
The pursuit of happiness is a matter of choice...it is a positive attitude we consciously choose to express. It is not a gift that gets delivered to our doorstep each morning, nor does it come through the window. And I am certain that our circumstances are just a small part of what makes us joyful. If we wait for them to get just right, we will never find lasting joy.
The pursuit of happiness is an inward journey. Our minds are like programs, awaiting the code that will determine behaviors; like bank vaults awaiting our deposits. If we regularly deposit positive, encouraging, and uplifting thoughts, if we continue to bite our lips just before we begin to grumble and complain, if we shoot down that seemingly harmless negative thought as it germinates, we will find that there is much to rejoice about.- Love starts with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear.
- Don't cry over anyone who won't cry over you.
- Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget.
- You can only go as far as you push.
- Actions speak louder than words.
- The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love somebody else.
- Don't let the past hold you back; you're missing the good stuff.
- Life's short. If you don't look around once in a while, you might miss it.
- A best friend is like a four leaf clover: hard to find and lucky to have.
- If you think that the world means nothing, think again. You might mean the world to someone else.
- When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there
- True friendship never ends.
- Friends are forever.
- Good friends are like stars....You don't always see them, but you know they are always there.
- Don't frown. You never know who is falling in love with your smile.
- What do you do when the only person who can make you stop crying is the person who made you cry?
- NOBODY IS PERFECT UNTIL YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH THEM. (Isn't that the truth?)
- Everything is okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.
We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. You are special - Don't ever forget it!
