Change is necessary for progress and growth

Repentence -> Change

- Without the change in direction, there wouldn't be a change in action.
- Change is a continuous process

"Repent" => Change of mind

Re -> To go back to something
Pent -> The highest place ( for e.g the pent house )

Therefore Re-Pent => To go back to the highest level of thinking.

- The greatest enemy of change is tradition

The 3 D's for change:

- All Change begin with a Decision, Dedication then Discipline

5 Things that makes people resist change:

1. Pride
2. Fear
3. Rebellion
4. Laziness
5. Ignorance

- Only fools won't change, the dead can't change!

- When change is necessary, not to change is destructive.

- Either you lead change or change will lead you.

- Your ability to lead the change will determine the success in your life.

False Pretense

The world's got a funny way of turning 'round on you
When a friend tries to stab you right in the face
Losing faith in everything I thought I hoped I knew
Don't sweat it, sit on false pretense

Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
Yeah, and it doesn't seem likely to fade
Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
Ca-ca-ca-cause you know

In Sacrifice
False Pretense, you'll learn again
Stop pretending, to deny
False Pretense, you'll learn again

All along you know you thought you got the best of me
You were wrong and I'm laughing right in your face
I can not believe you claimed you were my family
Don't sweat it, sit on false pretense

I can't seem to understand it how you turned out to be so cold
You tried but were caught red-handed, are you happy with your role?
It's funny to me how you've turned into such a joke

In Sacrifice
False Pretense, you'll learn again
Stop Pretending, to deny
False pretense, you'll learn again

So play-ay-ay the game until you run out
And play-ay-ay the game into my hand

Ultimate Disappointment Poem

There are so many things running through my mind.
Disappointment is the only thing I could find.

All you damn lies
All them damn nights I cried
I'm through with that
I'm not playing it's a fact

You turned out to be my ultimate disappointment
You know how I think, and what I feel
I have told myself that you were always real,
But when I needed you there, you came, you hid, and then you went.
But hey, its my fault I left myself unprotected,
I should have not let my defenses down
But part of me won't agree that's you

So why do you have to disappoint me so sound,
You have the power to make my world go round,
Instead you use it to drive me down

One day I might not care for you, I hope you know.
I never want that day to come
Cause you always bring such unobtainable joy
I hope one day you’ll turn from the ways of yours,
But until that day, you always remain, My Ultimate Disappointment.

Just know that what goes around comes back,
and around this time full of disappointment.

There's No Solution

Maybe nothing else would ever be so clear or probably that's only my fear. If only just for one day I wish I could disappear, just take me far from here. Maybe I'll find out nothing new or maybe I'll end up just like you.

There's no solution, give me truth to my conviction. Is this confusion of mine reality or fiction? Am I out of my mind?

The constant pressure that keeps hanging over me, it makes me feel so empty. It's more than anything that I could ever be, what else could you take from me? Its getting harder to relate, I dont want to make the same mistake

It took me so long to find out what's right there in front of me, I'm too close to see what's true. I see right through what's killing you.

Last week had been quite a busy one, at least for me. I did a total of 7 Chinese compo writing. Part of it because I owed it and because I owed it, I have to do an additional "Hui Guo Shu". I have no idea what it means, but what you got to do is basically a reflection and writing the importance of handing up work on time. 300 words, that's quite a lot to cover. Morever, this has unintentionally cause my chinese writing to grow to another level. The structure now comes smoothly to me and also the common words used.

Went to Christalite home last friday for "CIP", it lasted for around 1 hr and 30 mins I think. It was kind of boring and awkard at first. We were assigned to do koraoke and interacting with the people in the home. Well, I guess doing koraoke isn't really much of doing community work, maybe providing entertainment or enjoying? I don't know. It was so awkard at first, went to looked around for people that are alone and looks friendly. Greeted them and started conversations. It was kind of enjoyable interacting with them, you get to know about their lives and when their faces turns from gloom to sparkle, you find joy. Maybe because you made someone day or at least to that little change, you made a difference.


Saturday, went to bugis and Kyrene joined me. Really Thanks! I bought a myuk pencil case and also a East Sheen DIY 4x4x4 cube. I also went to a few guitar shop, I've decided on getting a TGM Les Paul. It comes with a package from the uncle I knew. It really is a good deal and it comes at $395. I'm so gonna get it as soon as I can!

Today is monday and yes I didn't went to school today. I don't know why, but I just didn't remember the alarm ringing and I didn't remember my maid actually came in to my room to wake me up. I woked up suddenly at 7.10 a.m and I thought since there was no alarm ringing til this time, it must be a sunday or saturday. So I went back sleeping, but I checked my phone just in case... It's 7 April! It's monday!
Then it came clear to me that I've overslept and I recalled what I've done before I slept yesterday. I slept at around 1.30 am. Managed to finish the recent chinese assignment, some A math. Most importantly, the very last minute stuff... The Pride design entry!

I actually wanted to forget about it, but I felt bad about it for dragging like more than 2 weeks. Everytime saying I will do it the next day, but done nothing. So I went ahead and did something about it. Got a rather vague idea from Qinhui and Yueting, so according to what's said, I came out with something like this :

Though I'm not sure I've done it correctly, but I've already submitted it. So hope it gets accepted.

For the past few days I've also been working on the Earth Day Posters for school. Haven't finalised it yet. After it's done I would upload it here. Support Earth Day! Hear the call! Go Green! lols

Anyway, it's not like I'm playing truant today. I'm like having this headache for quite long already, I'm gonna visit the clinic later on. I might get 2 days of MC, depends on what the doctor says.
