Too Busy for a friend. Too Busy for a friend One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a spacebetween each name. Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down. It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers .That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each studenton a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday she gave each student his or her list .Before long, the entire class was smiling. "Really?" she heard whispered. "I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!" and, "I didn't know others liked me so much." were most of the comments. No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She never knew if they discussed them after class with their parents, but it didn't matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves and one another. That group of students moved on. Several years later, one of the students was killed in Vietnam and his teacher attended the funeral of that special student. She had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. He looked so handsome, so mature. The church was packed with his friends. One by one those who loved him took a last walk by the coffin. The teacher was the last one to bless the coffin. As she stood there, one of the soldiers who acted as pallbearer came up to her. "Were you Mark's math teacher?" he asked. She nodded: "yes." Then he said: "Mark talked about you a lot." After the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates went together to a luncheon. Mark's mother and father were there, obviously waiting to speak with his teacher. "We want to show you something," his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket. "They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it." Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. The teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about him. "Thank you so much for doing that," Mark's mother said. "As you can see, Mark treasured it." All of Mark's former classmates started to gather around. Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, "I still have my list. It's in the top drawer of my desk at home." Chuck's wife said, "Chuck asked me to put his in our wedding album." "I have mine too," Marilyn said. "It's in my diary." Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her purse and showed her frazzled list to the group. "I carry this with me at all times, " Vicki said and without batting an eyelash, she continued: "I think we all saved our lists." That's when the teacher finally sat down and cried. She cried for Mark and for all his friends who would never see him again. The density of people in society is so thick that we forget that life will end one day. And we don't know when that one day will be. So please, tell the people you love and care for, that they are special and important. Tell them, before it is too late... AND ONE WAY TO ACCOMPLISH THIS IS:Forward this message on. If you do not send it, you will have, once again passed up the wonderful opportunity to do something nice and beautiful. If you've received this, it is because someone cares for you and it means there is probably at least someone for whom you care. If you're "too busy" to take those few minutes right now to forward this message on, would this be the VERY first time you didn't do that little thing that would make a difference in your relationships? The more people that you send this to, the better you'll be at reaching out to those you care about. Remember, you reap what you sow, what you put into the lives of others comes back into your own. MAY YOUR DAY BE BLESSED AND AS SPECIAL AS YOU ARE Friday, November 24, 2006 @ 10:24 PM

Recieve Christ. Went to church today. Actually met Xinru, Wanting and Rebecca first. Friendly bunch! Church is not like what i imagine it as. Wooden benches and just sit down there and read bible like how the monks read sutras. It's a totally different experience. People jump up and down and sing their hearts out. Like some Simple Plan live concert, you know? With a live band, and singers(actually they are pastors). So cool.Totally love it. When Pastor Jeff explained to us about supernatural life, it's not like you are sitting in a auditorium for lectures or something. Instead, it's like you got a teacher who don't put words in the way like other teachers did. That's why he is call Pastor. He talk and explained in a interesting way, which sometimes can make you laugh. The atmosphere is totally different from those on TVs, and most of all, you WON'T doze off ! NOT AT ALL! I know God more through today's session and in my heart i know, i want to recieve Christ in my life and i believe in God. So i have decided to accept Christ in my life. Thanks Xinru for inviting me to Y-Hope. Thanks Jiayan for helping me through my bible studies. A big thanks to those who congratulate me. Last but not least, i need to thank my sis( the one who scold me scandalous in her blog! -.-), for sharing her's and other's testimonials with me. Really thanks alot. Love God, Love people!

1st Damai trip. Today is the "damai day". Well, i made it up. =X Haha, it just mean that we are going down to Damai sec for training. Woke up in the morning to prepare.Nothing much actually. Went online, only then, then i know so many people not going. Argh. Online till 12+ then left home. Reach there 12 mins before 1. So i'm 12 mins earlier! Sound like a miracle eh? It's just that i'm seldom early. Saw xinying there. If nobody is there, i will be so damn piss off. Really, i don't enjoy waiting for people, who enjoy it anyway? Then the rest came, and the team is like so damn pathatic. Just 6 people(Peiting,Xiaohuan,Ongchin,Shuli,Xinying and ME!), not even enough for a game.Argh. MRT to Tampinese interchange. Was lame-ing on the train, and it kind of freak them out.LOls. The typical yihui way of talking, sometimes i should try giviing talks or seminars. I guess i will freeze the whole place or somethng. Took bus 65 to Damai. Saw bok and all his team. My first reaction was "wow", you gotta see it for youself. Henderson Sec, Damai Sec and SAJC.Full force. RSS? just 6. Joined Damai for warm up, shuttle and stuff. They are so friendly and love their team work. So just sit around. Played against Henderson and Damai. A thumbs up for all 6. Please with my performance today, but i guess i need to train harder. About 6.10 Bok let us leave.Haha.Cuz we live in woodlands. It's so far from there. Pack our stuff. When we stood up, Bok call peiting, we were shocked. Then he point at me, call the one beside you, the one holding towel. SHOCKED. Thought he want scold me or something. Then he told me to go in play be henderson GK. Told me to demo the defend thinggy he taught me the other day. Haha.Was kinda happy.Intercept all the passes. Well, just 3 or 4 i think. Jump for all the pass, good thing that i got all. Then he shout at the keeper and say"Is she taller than you?" Wahahahahahaha.. Love that phrase, it prove that being short ain't bad. After that the GK went in to play then we left. Went to sign out then they go fill water. Saw the weighing machine and we all was playing with it. Haha.Kinda lame. Then left and took bus 65 to tampinese. Then we got a plan, want makan then take bus back to woodlands. I was so damn hungry and say i want eat. So we went KFC bought food and went to interchange. Ate while waiting for bus. Continue eating when we board the bus! xD Reach woodlands about 8+. Took 911 home with xinying. Eat again then bath. Got online.

To my bestie-sita. Nothing much to write about today. Just wanna say a few words to bring my bestie/partner in crime, Sita up. If you feel like you can win the race, you DO IT. Just like you feel that you can take the lead, TAKE IT. If you don't take the lead, who will? You are my accomplice, do things OUR way, OUR style. If you don't agree to something, make sure you take the lead and do it your way. If you can't have it your way, atleast you have tried. Just voice it out. Shove it at their face. Just because they don't know it, doesn't mean that it's dumb. If they want you to do something, do it your way, NOT THEIRS. That's your life and you LIVE IT. Always remember, you never quit. We, the winners, the champions, DON'T QUIT. Don't bother about those comments. Just be YOURSELF. You are who you are. If you think you can, you CAN. You have alot to prove, to yourself and everyone else. So, PROVE IT. If you fall down 10 times, stand up 11. You don't win a race on your own, you need your accomplice, an i'll be there.
