Dream
How can we continually keep ourselves motivated, driven, determined and focused, especially on the things we really want? How do we keep on going when everything is so uncertain and doubtful? I believe in striving for the things we want, but struggles are never ending, or it seems.
I believe people should have dreams. I believe having a dream will gives us goals and something to strive for, making our life a meaningful & fulfilling one. But is that all it takes to live our life as close as possible to what we strive for? I've never stop pondering about this.
Many people see those who make it as the few lucky ones whom god seems to favour more. But is it really only luck? Or is it even luck to begin with? If one day, you get an opportunity to the door of your dreams, will you hesitate to grab it?
It requires alot of courage actually, to accept a new path which you are not sure where it will lead to, rather than hanging on to the existing one which you have already laid out over the years. It also requires alot of courage to forgo certain things you have been trying to conserve all your life. How many people can do that and follow their hearts?
When people look back in retrospect, it is easy to comment :" These people are just so lucky. Why don't I ever get to have this luck?" However, how many people will see the efforts these "lucky" people has paid and the things they have forgone before their achievements?
Believe in yourself, and your belief will help create the fact. I strive not for it yet, but to believe it first. Only when you can make yourself believe in it, you can then strive for it ;)

Compassion?
This morning as I pass the Orchard MRT tunnel to Tangs exit on my way to work, I saw the same man in wheelchair again. He seems to wake up early everyday, park himself in the tunnel and start his day's work of selling packet tissues - 3 for S$1.
Crowds zoomed passed, but as usual none stopped to patronise him.
Poor man. He's so thin and has lost his ability to work. It's not as if he'll earn alot from selling packet tissues.
S$1. Let's think. What can we buy with S$1 a day? A McDonald's ice cream cone or apple pie? A cup of coffee from the coffee shop? A bun? Or a packet of Super Rings for snack?
Even if 1 person buy from him daily 3 packets of tissue paper, we'll only be giving him $30 per month. S$30 per month - it may not even be enough for us ladies to get a new T-Shirt!
Then again, why are Singaporeans so shy of compassion? Am why am I one of them?? Hmm...

Creation!
Yoo Hoo!
My blog is finally created! =)
Just went for my weekly Japanese class today. My gosh, I'm so lagging behind. The pace is so fast & I just find it so hard to keep up with limited time every week. Or am I just plain lazy to study???
I always wonder - how do we sustain our interest for something? & why do we loose interest over time? I guess that depicts a clearer difference between "interest" & "passion"...
No matter what, I need to rekindle my interest in Japanese man, if I want to continue...Ganbatte ne!
& I'm just so glad that yesterday I found and finally owned my Dr Martens golden boots that I saw in the magazine & have been searching for so long! It's just too cool!!! Totally love it =X Eh...but maybe still abit crazy to have spent $500 on 4 pairs of shoes this month...ah haha.... -_-"
