the only thing that is constant in our life is change. as we get older, our taste for things changes, the way we are wired changes and so does our perception of life. we cannot escape from change and neither can we hide from it. we just have to submit to it and adapt. on the brighter side, change let you literally breathe in fresh air beause things get revamped, rotated, replanned.

nothing beats sharing secrets with your close friends

it was like a breath of fresh air to go out kiting after school with hawa and hum yesterday. it was while we had dinner together and spilled our highs and lows of our lifes onto the table did i come to realise that spending time with my close friends is very therapeutic. it felt good to simply share and listen quietly to them recounting their lives. it helped me stay sane despite school being very routine-like. with these bunch of people i can be whoever i want to be, show my vulnerability side without needing to fear judgements, talking everything and anything under the sun, stay quiet and not feel the need to talk, having fun and no feel guilty afterwards. to sum it up, i’m myself with them.

swallow your pride

all this feelings in me, i thank god. good or bad, i thank god because everything happens for a reason. the bad makes you tougher, only after you keep your head high in times of difficulty till you stand victorious. the good motivates you to do more good because it only makes you feel great within. to thank god is a humbling experience. to thank god is to remind yourself of your beginning. to seek god when you’re in need is therapeutic. to love god deeply is a challenge but is ought to be set as part of our many goals in life.

i can’t wait for MILO TRIATHLON!!! weeeeeeee

nevermind now because we have yet to learn our differences but i promise it’ll be unforgettable in the future. ‘patience is a virtue’ so all this time we’ve tolerated with each other will hopefully lead to something good. note to myself and to those who always find themselves frustrated with how things are going in their life, seek improvements not perfection. i reflected a lot on what went wrong last year and honestly, i have to say that i had committed the biggest perfect mistake and that was to expect big achievements without having a plan. it never seemed to me like i was digging my own grave but only in retrospect do i see the whole picture.

like what mr alfiee said to the pegasus students: ‘you need strong rapport, a plan and an outlet to express yourself with no permanent impact.’ i know right, this coming from mr alfiee. and hey, i was crushed when he mentioned that he was happily married and thought aloud about his plans for valentine’s to us. hahhahah it slipped off my mind that he was already tied to someone in every humanely way possible.

thank you CNY!

i am so glad we have 2 days off cause of chinese new year i shall rest and do a little bit organizing here and there. anyway, orientation is over and it was hands down better than last year’s. the campfire which kicked off the end of the orientation just wrapped every kind of emotions in place. fun, excitement, jaded, proud you name it. this year will be AQUILA’s year cause i feel it. the new JC1s in Aquila were so hyped up during camp and co-operative too. i didn’t see much of that last year. anyway, our house captain felt it and i’m sure all the HGLs felt it too. we did an awesome job during campfire’s performance! you know what, i got to dance to ‘the only girl in the world’ as part of the performance. it was one sexy dance! hahahaha

so now the new JC1s are in and i have to tell you that i don’t feel and think the same like i did last week – before they came in. 3 weeks before, everything was easy and went real smooth because i had only me to care for. but since new people are in, i can’t help myself but to feel a little exasperated. oh wells, this is school and nothing’s new to me. i’m one step ahead of the rest, no more PW and MT so yeah. i have free periods so life is going to be good:D however, they will always be people who will persist trying to bring me down. to hell with ya cause this year is my year. *shakes my butt* i’m done with worrying the littlest things, i’m done with sacrificing my time for anything which won’t contribute to my A’s. the only hurdle which is stopping me from getting into university is a’levels man. it is just something which i gotta nail down and before i know it, i’m in NUS man. insyaallah.

this morning, i watched new moon on star movies for the umpteenth time. i was frustrated why they haven’t screen eclipse yet when they should have like a year ago. the need to watch the saga carried on throughout the day while i was hanging out with hawa andshopping for groceries. so i decided to close one eye and rented the new movies such as eclipse and the last exorcism for 5 bucks each. i don’t a bit tad guilty because i rarely watch movies at theatres okay! renting movies are just my way of substituting the luxury of going to the movies. so anyway, i thoroughly enjoyed watching eclipse! it kept me on the edge of my seat (couch to be exact) and made me SAW JACOB IN A NEW LIGHT. i know right! i’ve never imagined myself saying that. for the previous movies, i felt jacob was outright nosy to be around those 2 but you know what, i prefer jacob to edward now woahhhhh. i shall not carry on ranting. will bask in my new perspective of JACOB BLACKKKK <3<3

I LOVE ALL THESE RANDOM THINGS. simple everyday things which we often neglect their beauty.

wordpress is so complicated!

zuraberto — Sat, 08 Jan 2011 16:28:56 +0000

hello my dear sunshines. i’m totally new to wordpress so that explains the lack of beautifications on my blog. wordpress is really driving me insane. what more with my blog under dee’s account and i’ve lost all my friends’ blog links. and i don’t think they know the link to my blog. crap, i’ll not be motivated to update if i know that nobody is going to read them. hmmph. oh wells, i still quite enjoy reading my own posts masochastic much.

so anyway, much has happened since the last time i wrote a blog post. there were many self-realisations and reflections going on in my mind. i’m pretty pleased with what i have thought myself. these lessons are priceless cause nobody except yourself can sieve out the good from the sour. reflections are good because they definitely make my soul in peace with myself and i am alot more greatful with the things have now – which was nevr the case back then. also, i realise that i can’t force myself to reflect because it is as good as not reflecting at all! i try to let reality sink in and then i’ll reflect. i believe that rushing is never the case for me which is ironic because they say aries are notorious with their head on attitudes.

school is a day away. i’m looking forward to proper learning and by that i mean is really understanding the concepts and having them at my fingertips, literally. this is mainly because the past year wasn’t a fruitful one. my focus was screwed up. it was like i had bit and pieces of me everywhere- council, the past, my friends. i think it was partly because jc experience was a total shock to me. it was hectic, tiring and left me wondering who i was at the end of the day. but now, i hope to get into school with more confidence and priorities right.

last but not least, i love my family, my friends and my life may good things come for all of us. aminnn!

with love, zura

whatever that is happening with grandma was bound to happen. i rationalise them with logic reasoning because i rather not question god or anyone else of the condition she is currently in. what my mum told my dad about my grandma just now worries me. maybe it is sooner than i thought it will be. whatever it is, i promised myself to be the best possible granddaughter i can ever be towards her.

well today was suppose to be the day. the day when i start revising and get my engines running. but to be exact, it was suppose to start on monday but i was more interested with the idea of going shopping with dee. it was fun, definitely not feeling any regrets of wasting my time over this over studying. i was really greatful to have spent my time with dee before she took off to bintan. every single thing just felt good eventhough i was literally dragged into every possible sports link, royal sporting house, columbia stores in town! it was the moments like eating yoghurt from red mango, ranting on about my food cravngs and her getting the hint that i am hungry or simply joking out loud about her ‘walk/slide’ method to get to places faster. hilarious okay eventhough it can be a lil irritating.

anyway, once i got home from aunt’s place this afternoon, p.s. swimming was awesome!, i straightaway switched on my laptop and signed into facebook, eager to see any notifications. to be frank, i was flat out disappointed that i got ZERO notifications and that really brought my mood down. after that, i decided to watch some tv and indulged in chocolate ice cream. afterwards, i went onto youtube and mindlessly watch videos. so that is how uninspiring my life can be but i came across a video of an interview between barbara walters and oprah winfrey. and i had that OMG moment because who in this world has interviewed oprah! if i were given a million bucks to do it, i still won’t do it. so anyway, i was a little repelled to watch it because it’s an interview, it can be boring but barbara’s first few seconds in the video totally grabbed my attention. after watching all the 5 parts to that interview, i wondered to myself, why sweat the small stuff. there is so many things out there in the universe waiting for you to grab it and experience it. why let something like zero notifications on facebook or people judgements or affect you when you have the ability to have something greater. and oprah did say something which connected with me in so many ways.

That’s what I say to God, ‘Just keep on usin’ me til you use me up’. That’s my prayer”."

Oprah

i was thinking about it while i browsing throug hayley’s website. and guess what, she has the same quote written in her blog. word by word. i mean, wow, what a coincidence. the more i would want to live by that quote.

p.s. this post are just my thoughts. i don’t really expect myself to be a totally different person the next day but i shall work into being a better person. and i’m really thinking of changing my blog.
