It's so easy...

When a person says tactless words to you, it's so easy to think that what he/she says reflect what he/she really thinks. You have a choice to look into the meaning of his/her words or to just take it with a pinch of salt. So often I have realized, the cynical side of me takes the former choice so automatically. It is only after some time then I wld get enlightened by myself and wondered ridiculously why am I so concerned with that statement of his/her and forget abt it shortly.

When you get your results not comparable with the effort you have put in all along or perhaps with another fren, it's so easy to think that you are incompetent, stupid, just cannot do well these sorts of thoughts. You have a choice to give up or work harder. So often I have realized, the not-v-high self esteem of me choose instantaneously to think lowly of myself and to feel very disheartened. It's only after some time then I wld start telling myself to get my hopes up and just try again the next time round. Things dont always stay the same.

When a friend din't contact you, it's so easy to believe that you are forgotten. You have a choice to think that this frenship is sinking or to think that he/she is just busy. So often I have realized, the insecurity in me just lead me to think that he/she has new frens and doesnt need me anymore. It's only after some time then I start to reflect on myself-I dint take the initiative to contact him/her as well! He/She might be thinking the same way too!


When my sis leaves home everytime without bothering to inform me and also the fact that she wun be coming back home later, it's so easy to feel deserted and invisible in her eyes. It's so easy to think that she rather stays somewhere else than to face me at home once my parents are not in Sg. I have the choice to bear a personal grudge against her or to overlook her actions. I've realized I have taken both choices simultaneously.................................


It's easy to think negative. Very Easy. At least so much easier to think positive.

Thinking positive is an art. A skill. A gift. To master.

When your mood runs down, every sad news or tragedy on TV give u the reason to see the world in dark coloured glass. Every action or comment given by others provides negative reinforcement to what you already feel.
Result: You lose alot of things in life.

When your mood runs high, even the worst situation can allow u to see its hopes and possibilities, thereby giving you the motivation to work things out according to what u think and believe.
Result: You reap more than what you sow.


Please stay positive, my dearest friends.

friends come and go...when friends didn't contact me, i'll think that i'm redundant.heez..i'll not disturb their lives n happily let them enjoy themselves with the company of their other friends n sincerely hope that they stay happy always!

I'll feel sad that i have lost that friendship but i don't wish to be a burden to them.. i do not want any obligations from friends (since u ask me, then i go lor...)... i wont dare to initiate coz i'm afraid of rejections... the worst feeling is being rejected...
but ppl will question ," if u don't try, how would know he/she will reject u??" well, it's up to individual then...i simply don't have the courage to accept the possibility of rejections from friends..

anyway, i'm sort of contented with my social circle now...although the quantity of my close friends can be counted within my 10 fingers, i'm still satisfied... it's quality that counts not quantity...(heez..pray hard that they wont leave me..haha..) would u? = )

insecurity is bound to arise in friendships but karina, u dont have to worry..coz your insecurity is unfounded..i can assure u that u wont miss out anything in sg when u r back in uk..coz there're msn, emails, blogs to bring us closer...to update our lives... so relax n have fun with all your friends!
