Ease Your Emotional Burdens

Most of us still carry around burdens of a different kind. These burdens we cannot see or touch, but they weigh us down just the same, preventing our hearts and minds from finding greater joy and peace of mind.

These emotional burdens mainly consist of regrets over what we wanted to happen but didn't, agony over past events that we wished never happened, resentment for people we feel have done us wrong, who didn't show us the respect we expected, or didn't love us the way we wanted them to.

These things are like invisible claws that keep our spirits anchored to the ground. We find that we cannot be happy or peaceful for very long because they keep returning to haunt us.
Regret and resentment are the biggest adversaries of our happiness. They have so much power over us because we cannot bring ourselves to forgive the people we begrudge, because we cannot forgive ourselves, because we cannot let go of the past. We continue to hold regret and resentment towards others because, bizarrely, we feel that in this way, we can somehow make them suffer. But it's no skin off their noses. In the meantime, our own bitterness persists. It's cruel irony that in trying to get back at others, we only end up hurting ourselves.

The only way you can reduce or get rid of regret and resentment is to forgive. Forgive the ones whom you feel have trespassed against you. Forgive yourself for the things you did, for the things you didn't do. Forgive the circumstances, events and conditions you thought led to your situation. Remember that bearing grudges hurts no one but you.

Besides, it's never clear-cut if someone or something is completely responsible for our situation. It's often a combination of factors. We judge harshly because we do not see the mitigating reasons. And whether we know it or not, we ourselves have hurt or let others down before. If we can so clearly see the misdeeds others have perpetrated against us, surely others can just as vividly see the offences in us. Which one of us can claim to have no flaws, to have never acted selfishly or in a fit of anger?

Purge your soul of the toxins of regret and resentment and embrace greater joy and peace.

All you need to know about: T-Rex

T-Rex had hives on tue and wed nights. It hurts me so much to know that he's to suffer two unpeaceful nights. Went to see doc on thurs morning w him for his graft mainly. Went TTSH then to a clinic @ Paragon.
Hopefully my T-Rex will recover soon. Aft that, went school for proj meet.
T-Rex went to try on his tailored suit.

My T-Rex has a nice body frame.. with a less-trained 6-packs though. (Heh) i like to stare at his "packs".

T-Rex has loud snoring system. But he always try to be more conscious that he won't disturb me during naps.
T-Rex got super fast flipping speed. (from sleeping on back to sides) and he always take away the blanket when he flips.
T-Rex say next time i jus pull it from him. Will do exactly :)

T-Rex is my fierce yet gentle, Dinosaur!!!

Middle of the night in the living room. Typing out notes. Damn.
This sem is super stress man, all the work load and stay-ups. Really aint' easy.

Almost everyday i get message from Boon online - He left for me on msn.
That's the way we actually communicate. But his msgs are so dejecting to read. He keeps saying his r/s would not last (he just knew it). But what am i supposed to do?

I'm trying to keep my mind clear of whatever nonsense that's being injected into my life. I must stay focused. Exams are jus around the corner, i MUST do my BEST. Sometimes i feel that i cant take the stress, that i'll just feel like letting it out. Hun let me. i curse and swear. But i know it's bad for health. Hun offered to help me with some notes churning - really appreciates his effort.

Back to work.......................................

--Untitled--

I'm @ the bus stop outside BPSS already. 45 mins earlier than the agreed time.

- No choice, hunny gotta work, so needs to drop me off early-

Hunny got this super BIG Pimple on his nose, i jus saw it this morning.

He squeezed it & it bled.

- Silly of him: Pimples cannot squeeze (but i understand)-

Pimples = Eye Sore

I've got NEW double eyelids, situated underneath my eyes.

I slept, but it just wouldn't go away. All thanx to the continuous starring at the monitor of lappie.

It's gonna pop-out soon, at least i guessed so.

I'm still waiting for my beloved ignitions..........

It's project at Jess's sis place. So much to do, so little time. Everyone rushing like hell last night.

However so, @ 10pm:

• Pei pei started her "Pi-ing"
• Gang Hao started taking walks around - making me giddy.
• Jess started her 'wierd-slang-talk'
• Ah Ting laugh and laugh.

Hunny Bunny

My hunny, all ready for work on Saturday morning.

That face full of "not-enough-sleep"

Hair so long, having kept for more than a month.

“七龙朱”(Dragon Ball)

He says his hair can't defy the "Law of Gravity"

(But looks like it's doing quite well still, isn't it?)

"There's gonna be a great deal of challenges down the road,

we'll take it one at a time, yea?"

In honour of Ting Ting's hardwork

-All Four-

These are my beloved ignitions.

Very lovely girls.

They highlight my UNI life.

Reflection of reading: Competition and Taking

I'm getting sucked into the proverbial rat race.
The prevailing culture seems to've laid the unspoken rule: Achieving the unattainables

"Competitiveness" is the catchword of the day. Competing with others has become the main driving force in my life.

Being competitive is not all about success, status and money. And what i was really looking for was to be happy. The nature of competition may fill many with an obsession and only thoughts of winning. But to me, it was merely about looking for a motivation. Only competition will keep me going, and not putting an end to everything itself.

Actually, while being competitive, i'm also enjoying my life.

Our Tears Met

It all happened YESTERDAY.
Very much wants to go hongkong with you. Strict parents didnt sort of allow.
It's in june, will ask 'em again. Lying beside you, u were affected by my emotions.
U wept a man's tear. I will never forget for the rest of my life. You told me to take good care of myself at all times and nv to get myself hurt again.

"Before you love anyone else,
Learn to love yourself"

I felt it from you, sincerest words i've ever heard. Living an old ripe age, we will go many many places in future, together. Hold my hands and I'll follow you.

Love.
