LOOK.

now, that's a pic of a view in a binoculars.

well, what i'm trying to explain here is that,
how things will vary different, how scenery will vary differently,
when you see it over a naked eye or a binoculars.

when you look at the scenery over a binoculars,
things will be magnified over a number of times,
and your view will be focused on a target or object you are looking at.
your view is only restricted to that object you see in the binoculars;
and if that object is gone, you have nothing left to view.

when you view a scenery with just your naked eye,
things might seem to be small over a huge distance,
but things are greatly perfect and beautiful,
when you are able to view the scenery as a whole.
even if a small tree or a small scrub is to be removed from the landscape,
not much harm is done to the whole scenery,
and your view on the whole scenery would not be drastically change too.

what i'm trying to say here is,
the same theory applies on the perspective of life also.

when you choose to focus on only one stuff,
giving too much effort and attention on it,
chances are that you might be injured and harmed when what you're doing fail.
and yet when you don not really focus too much,
you would not be too upset when you fail the objective.

i'm not trying to ask you all to be not serious in doing things;
what i want to convey is,
看开一点.

when you take things lightly,
with a joyous mood,
of course life would be much more easier.
learn to be optimistic,
and not dread over one incident or objective;
learn to take and go in life.

many had wealth, fame and power;
yet many had nothing to their name.
but these chaps can actually live a happier life than those who are rich and powerful.

it is because that they have nothing to worry about,
they view life with an optimistic feeling.
yet those that are in power and riches,
are always on the guard of losing what they have,
or doing a bad job about their objective.

the greatest happiness in life lies between optimism and simplicity.
try to view things from a different perspective, a different view;
you'll see how much things have change to suit your liking.

always in life,
i have to tell myself to stay optimistic.
whenever i get sabotage by my platoon mates in NCC,
i treat it as a lesson learn to understand human nature;
whenever i face challenges in academics,
i treat it as a course to make me a man more knowledgeable than before.
whenever i'm faced with an obstacle,
i tell myself, now is the time to define what yitian means.

things, how they turn out to be;
they do not depend on what they are in the first place.
they turn out to be,
by how you want to view them,
and how lightly or seriously,
how optimistic or sadistic you want to view them.

readers, how do you think?

再来一杯

hmm, life is pretty much okay today.
i can consider peaceful, and quite slack.
at least i get to go home early,
and then play a few rounds of CS :D

received my a maths paper;
manage to struggle through the whole thing.
well, there's a reason that i always score low in maths.
because i'm not a calculative person!
oh, and also received back the geog paper.
did okay for the paper. at least i nvr flunk.

and the rest of today,
it's pretty much slack.
well, have to get my arse working on the assignments,
and then also get my head thinking of FSD.
things are pretty screwed,
but it's alrite!
tougher things always gives us more challenges to train ourselves, right?

well, after a series of events that taken place recently,
i just realise, i haven't lost that willpower that keeps me fighting.
that will, that makes me survived the toughest of hell.
that fire, isn't extinguish.

sometimes, i really wonder how are things going to take place.
the soon-to-come FSD competition, pretty screwed by someone;
and then my academics, have to really buck up on various subjects;
and then, many things that are going to happen this year.
great, i can't just take things as they come.

i was just wondering that how devastated i am yesterday,
and then, how happy am i today.
then i just realised,
what i went through in 2e3 and NCC are not just for the sake of going through;
it really turn me into a real man.
enduring hardships, fighting for your stand..
these are things that many couldn't take it.
and i wonder, why do i have the will to subdue all these.
and i just realise, it'd all about the effect those hard times left me.

today i can sit down, and think a bit again.
i remember those hard times in the past two years;
hated by a whole 39 people,
deserted by your company,
seem to be the one that will fail.
two years past,
i manage to make frens with these 39 ppl,
and i'm still surviving in my company.
that's what that makes you a veteran.
tears and sweat, until they dry up.

today, looking at my various frens and classmates,
committing the same mistakes that i've gone through two years back.
i couldn't bear to stop laughing;
laughing at their stupidity,
laughing at their rashfulness,
laughing at their immaturity,
laughing at their greed.

and laughing at myself,
for once i had been someone like them.

New Era.

sunday morning, before everything starts afresh again.

thinking back, i just realised that a lot of incidents had took place.
the powder incident, my HCL tcher, the FSD incident, the CIP incident.
so much things took place, and almost each of it i ended in defeat.

i was just wondering why i had to give way all the time.
i didn't choose to, but i had to.
take a look,
i rmb how brandon sabo me last time, cuz things never went his way.
this time, perhaps i had to let go a bit on FSD,
if not there will be a lot of trouble.
for the sake of peace barh, i had to give up my aspirations,
of making ZHNCC the champion of FSD.

after reflecting through so many incidents,
i realised, in fact, i have not lost my true self.
in fact, i'm still like what i used to be.
i want to see a start of a New Era, a new start of this society.
and i want to be one that start all these things.
like Simon Bolivar, George Washington, Sun Yat-sen, Lenin(though his a communist),
i want to be like them, starting a New Era.

always in the past,
i told myself, i would be the one getting the ball rolling.
and whenever i can peacefully get the ball rolling,
some selfish ppl, who want things their way,
would snatch the ball from me.

always, i been looking for a stage of my own.
i had many in the past, but selfish ppl stole it.
looking at the situation now,
i really want to take things back;
but for the sake of peace, for the sake of unification,
i can't bear to do so.

it's like, they're doing everything which everyone suppose to be sharing.
and when i did this in the past,
i got condemned. i got a death sentence. i was never used anymore.
and yet when they did it, nothing happened.
because now, me, as the opposition,
have never took the chance to stir trouble.

after going through so much in these two months,
i even believe more firmly in Absolute Justice.
it's very different from the Moral Justice you get;
Absolute, means everything have to balance.

everytime things happen,
i don't think that they took place for no purpose.
they have a meaning, and a aim behind them.
perhaps for me, going through so much is to shape me for the best.

oh by the way, **** the censorship in this post.

sometimes, things have to really take place.
Absolute Justice. it's more or less, human means.
thinking back, by doing so actually cuts down the punishment on the evil-doer.
we don't want to see retribution of ten times happen naturally, right?

yeah.
in conclusion, perhaps, really, i'm not down yet.

Roly-Poly.

looks, that's a roly-poly toy :D

if you're once a child, you should know what a roly-poly is all about.
it's a toy that will keep standing upright everytime you pushed it.
no matter how much you push the toy, it will will standing upright.

i believe all of us should be like a roly-poly.
always standing upright, always not falling.
two meanings, yeah.
firstly,
we should learn the concept of a roly-poly.
never to subdue yourself to problems and obstacles,
and always keep on fighting in your journey of life.
and look at the smile on the poly's face.
yes, of all us should stay optimist in the times of trouble,
and not falling everytime we meet an obstacle that can push us down.

the next is that we should always pick ourselves up whenever we fall down.
we should picked ourselves up from what that have defeated us,
we should picked ourselves up from what that have pushed us down.
we should stand upright against any force that can push us down anytime.

there are so many concepts and principles of life,
that we can depict from things around us.
this is because that these things are part of life too!
and because they are part of life,
they always show the concept of how life should be.

it's a long time ever since i came across a roly-poly.
some time later i must buy one and put at home,
reminding myself to always stand straight against all kinds of obstacles.

are you, a roly-poly?

CIP :D

yay! CIP today!
