hi, this is my blog, please feel free to leave comments (:
Good to be Back
I was truly overwhelmed on 23rd Oct Thurs. The feeling was back again; those feelings when I used to teach, used to talk to students & encouraging them when they feel down. It was simply more than what I had hoped for before I visited HSS again. Now that I am a student myself, I could better put myself in their shoes and emphatise with the challenges, issues and troubles they face while juggling studies with personal life. I am so glad many of them are happy with their lives and loving themselves. That, in my opininon, is one of the most important things in life: If we do not even love ourselves, who else, besides God, will come to love us? If we do not even love ourselves, how can we know how to love others?
For those of you who are reading this, perhaps you are feeling down, discouraged and dis-spirited because of your exam results. You might have put in a lot of heart and effort in your work, but the results did not reflect your labour. Some of you might have been in your slumber for most of the year, only to wake up and go on the full trottle at the last month, and you felt you could have possibly had pulled off a miracle. Whatever the reason for your less than expectation results, do not lose heart. This is the holidays now, rest hard, play hard and eat hard. Short breaks have to be taken in order to run a long race. Life is not a race to be rushed, but a race to be enjoyed and savoured.
Mr Law is currently also undergoing some challenging period, in my studies and also personal life. Somehow I just felt that things are not going the way they should be, & I am not what I used to be. It seems so easy for me to motivate others now but so tough for me to motivate myself. Ive reflected over these few days, took breaks from my hectic schedule and spent some quality time with some awesome friends. Sometimes caring and love for others are not spoken; they are done through actions. I appreciate those love and care, even from those of you who visit my blog & leave behind footprints in my tagboard. Tell you the truth, whenever I see a tag, I smile.
I was speaking to Zhang Xiao and he reminded me of a verse which I used to hinge on in the past but no longer recently. Thank you Zhang Xiao for encouraging me and pulling me back to who I should be again. And also thanx to all of you who took time and effort to catch up with me on Thurs despite it being the last day of school and to have resisted the temptation to just go out with friends to have fun. Though the time spent was short, it was invaluable. I hope to be back again next year.
Here is the verse which I had believed in since my NS days, when a sergeant I hated said that to us & that changed my whole frame of thinking. Here it is dedicated to all of you also:
"Tough training don't last, tough man & woman does."
ps: if you are reading this, Im terribly sorry for the stupidity which I had committed and the misery I brought to you. Sorry.
