[Jeux d'enfants]
Don't Miss this! ...
An entire life to say I love you!
80 years to start a love story...
All that because of a game...
Or maybe thanks to the game...
Sophie & Julien made up the rules of the game and they will be for the rest of their life its referees...and often its victims.
Game or not?
Game! Of course!. They are capable of doing everything: the best like the worst. Break all rules, defy everything forbidden, brave all authorities, laugh, hurt each other...Daring to do anything except maybe to admit they love each other!

FunNy IncideNt!
Wow, I had an eventful night last night! Had my usual guit lessons in town, and after, my friend asked us out to watch Igby goes down. It was raining cats and dogs, so he took his dad's car out. He drove real fast, and navigated sharp turns well...thought he was a pretty good driver. And guess what? Later on, he told he he doesn't have a license! And that he hasn't learnt driving b4! I was real shocked! In my heart, I went [AhhHhhh..]. Well, that wasn't all. Igby came out to be an RA show..and Keith and I had to sneak in. We handed out our tic stubs, and the guy was about to check our ICs..and we had to make a dash into the theatre...lAughs! Tink the guy was real nice, he stopped following us, and disappeared. And that's not all! While watching the show halfway, the projector burned! And the film started flickering, and all the voices started to deepen. We all thought it was part of the show..till the girl in the show spoke. And boy, her voice was the deepest I've ever heard, and I burst out laughing! Haha...the manager come around to explain after an interval, and offered us either refunds or exchange of stubs for any other shows for the next 1 mth! Of course, I chose the latter! But there was this one loud girl which stood up, and demanded refunds + 2 extra tickets each. Boy, I thot she was b*tchy. Guess that's 1 KS Singaporean. We went for dinner after that, and many other funny things happened..such as spoilt cash registers, etc. Haha..it was real eventful! Laughs. Well, that was my night. Grinz.

Okok..i sHall continue blogging to keep myself awake. Hmm..had a PL class diNner last night..it was good. Met up with old friends, and gosh, my friend slimmed down so much! Guess that's gonna give me more drive to start on my diet. *sigHz* (Y the diet? Well, for 1, i made a pact with my sis to see who loses more weight by dec 31st, and the loser has to eat vege and fruits in the daytime for 1 whole month! 2nd reason? Well, I need it! laughs!) Gotta win man, or I can't eat my yummy noodles anymore! Anyway, sam accompanied me after dinner to wait 4 meiling to go down zouk together to support DreamFactory. But, due to some miscom, we didn't get to go. So, in the end, I went Centro with sam for his NS friends' NTU bash. It was the first time ever that I saw sam dance! Grinz..and we danced till 2+..went for supper after that , chatted, and reached home at 4+. Bathed, slept for a second, and poof, here I am back at work again!

Hope all will go on smoothly..but I seem to have a premonition something's gonna happen. SigHs, wonders what it'll be this time. U know, everything always seems to go wrong whenever I'm ard...[hAIz, is that good or bad?]. Well, on the bright side, it makes my life more eventful, and perhaps more unpredictable. Maybe that's what keeps me going. But the down side, well...when it rains, it never rains but pours, if u get what I mean.
Ok, gives up..I shall take a nap. Can't possibly blog till 6pm, can I? Laughs. Wish me all the best for my SATs tml! And oH..it's my mUMmy's b'dae tml as well! Gonna wake up SUPER EARLY to make her breakfast! Have a de-li-rious wkend ahead! TatAz!

The Old Man and His Shoe
One day an old man boarded a bus. As he was going up the steps, one of his shoes slipped off. The door closed and the bus moved off so he was unable to retrieve it. The old man calmly took off his other shoe and threw it out of the window.
A young man on the bus saw what happened, and could not help going up to the old man and asking, "I noticed what you did, sir. Why did you throw out your other shoe?" The old man promptly replied, "So that whoever finds them will be able to use them." The old man in the story understood a fundamental philosophy for life - do not hold on to something simply for the sake of possessing it or because you do not wish others to have it.
We lose things all the time. The loss may seem to us grievous and unjust initially, but loss only happens so that positive changes can occur in our lives. We should not always assume that losing something is bad, because if things do not shift, we'll never become better people or experience better things. That's not to say of course that we only lose "bad" things; it simply means that in order for us to mature emotionally and spiritually, and for us to contribute to the world, the interchange between loss and gain is necessary.
Like the old man in the story, we have to learn to let go. The world had decided that it was time for the old man to lose his shoe. Maybe this happened to add momentum to a series of events leading to a better pair of shoes for the old man. Maybe the search for another pair of shoes would lead the old man to a great benefactor.
Maybe the world decided that someone else needed the shoes more. Whatever the reason, we can't avoid losing things. The old man understood this. One of his shoes had gone out of his reach. The remaining shoe would not have been much help to him, but it would be a cherished gift to a homeless person desperately in need of protection from the ground.
Hoarding possessions does nothing to make us or the world better. We all have to decide constantly if some things or people have run their course in our lives or would be better off with others. We then have to master the courage to give them away.
