renungan kecil

what was the biggest problem uve ever faced when u were in middle school?
for me, it was my 'secret boyfriend' whom last for only a week because i was to afraid that my dad would know us. i was 13.

few years later in high school, i was afraid of failing my classes since i was so dumb in maths and chem and i need to get at least 75 to be able to go to the next class. i remember sitting on the floor in front of my class with one of my mate, we both were depressed, waiting for our mums getting our results that morning. then he told me, worse come to worse, he might end up being in the same class with his girlfriend who was in the lower grade, what a big problem we were facinggg! 0_0 well, we made it thru. i was 16.

after i graduated from highschool, my dad offered me if i wanted to go melbourne for uni with my sister. i said, id love to. the challenges were the ielts test and my 'another-secret-boyfriend' whom i was going to leave. it was almost a year of relationship, then we broke up. i was 18.

speak english or die, my sister said. i tried my best pushing myself hard to adapt my tounge speaking in this *i wudnt say bogan style* australian accent english, cause i want to survive here. more obstacles and challenges came after. and you realised that things are getting serious while ure getting older *because you know more things*. note: im not saying here that my life is boring, dark and very gloomy down here. haha.


bad things may happen to you and drive you crazy. you can put that fake smile in your face and tell everyone that you re alright. its fine. but the most important matter is how you manage yourself to go through it *and learn from it (:

as it says in the book of ecclesiastes..
1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:

2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,

3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,

4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,

5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,

7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,

8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

9 What does the worker gain from his toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on men. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. 13 That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil—this is the gift of God. 14 I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him.
Ecc 3: 1-14

so, when you re happy, just be reeeaaally happy.
but when you sad, dont be too sad :D
