COUNTENANCE
Suddenly got the urge to blog about this matter...Countenance. I've no idea why this came to my mind out of a sudden.

I came across friends who once shared with me about how they feel like they are not wanted in the group of friends, that those people formed cliques that exclude them. And some people also feel that they are being rejected by the group, that they don't feel belong and all that stuff. Why is it so?

As I began to ask myself, I began to think of the possible reasons. Perhaps it's the behavior that we have that's too awkward for other people to embrace. Perhaps, we are just simply too egoistic that we won't listen to other people's opinion and we always think that we're right and others are wrong. Or perhaps it's just our feelings?

All those answers are possible, right? But as I think some more, I think our countenance matters way more than all those reasons above. I remember some of my friends told me that my face look kindda fierce when I don't smile. Even when I'm just simply listening to lecturers in school, being a good student coz I was paying attention, I looked fierce. That's why I don't seem friendly or approachable.

Thus, my conclusion is.... We gotta do some assessment about how we portray ourselves to the public. We gotta be aware of how our appearance look like when we are out there, when we're seen by friends or even strangers. Our body language matters, our facial expression matters! It shows our mood, whether we're happy/sad/angry/whatever. So, we got to always show that we're in high spirits in order to attract friends to ourselves. Anyway I don't think I wanna have a friend who always looks tired. I want to be surrounded by people who are always so happy despite being exhausted after a whole day of work.

Positivity attracts, while negativity repels. So I'm gonna try to look more positive and happier every second of my life. Anyway reduced frowning = reduced wrinkles, right? Hahahaha. And life's too short for us to live it with negative aura. So, all the best to me :D

Cheers to happy, full of smiles and laughters, life.

LIFE WITHOUT ANYTHING TO DO
Yet another entry about how bored I am being unemployed. Many of my friends told me to enjoy my carefree life while I'm still able to. But it is getting wayyyyyy too longgggggggggggg that I can hardly stand this kind of lifestyle any longer. Spending so much time at home, watching so much TV, facing my laptop for the longest time in my life. It's making my head spin, my eyes hurt. Oh btw, my bank and wallet are hurting too! I can barely shop for goodness sake. The worst time of my life would probably be this. Hahaha! That is until I'm faced with another bigger trial in the future.

I have to think millions of times to buy 'not-needed-but-I-want' stuff. I even have to think several times to spend on food. In another point of view, it is rather good coz it'll help me in my diet process. But I still think that this kindda worries are so unnecessary. I'm starting to grow a few strands of gray hairs coz of this!!! Gosh!!!!!!

To make things worse, my family went to Australia today! How I feel like going along with them but I just can't due to circumstances. If I went along, I might as well forget about coming back to S'pore. Oh and if I still haven't got myself employed till end of Nov, I'm doomed too! Coz I'll have to go back to Indo for good. I can't imagine and don't want to anyway. A part of me don't mind going back and be together with family and help my dad's business and all. But another part of me is just not ready yet. I've many reasons that hold me back and one of it has gotta do with religion issue. I hate this. Coz I don't have the courage to voice out regarding my faith and belief to my parents which I know I have to. God give me wisdom. Let me be bold! Let me be able to intro to them the Good News! Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the meantime, more job hunting it shall be! Oh no... I'm hungry -.-

GUITAR~
I'm currently so in love with learning guitar. And by today, I can play 3 songs already! Though the strumming is not perfect yet, but at least I can remember quite a number of keys that I need to press. Teeheee... I'm so happy. As long as there's a will, we'll reach our heart's desires. Thank God I suddenly got the revelation that maybe I should learn how to play guitar not too long ago. Thank God that Yun wanted to buy 1 in the past and that now it's mine ever since she returned to Indo for good. Hehehehe. The 3 songs I can play are: Heart of Worship, I could sing of Your love forever, and Amazing. All 3 use quite simple keys that allows me to learn quickly. I'm gonna go practice the last song again coz I just got it in like a few mins or an hour ago xD Hehehe. Ciao~

HAPPY B'DAY LOUISE LIM JIAYI!
Celebrated JY's bday today. Went out with her, WL, and Joa to town. Had pasta for our dinner at The Pasta Shop by Sakae at Wheelock Place. I didn't know that the food there is rather nice with a not-so-expensive prices for a big serving! Will recommend friends to eat there next time.


We chatted alot, laughed alot, posed alot for many2 photos taken :p (JY made us to be narcisstic. LOL!) So sad that towards the end of our happy time my digicam's batt couldn't last and it went dead. Bt it managed to take up to about 50-60 photos just for this evening alone! Hahaha!

Thx so much for the laughter. Thx for the Gelatissimo treat, JY! :D Love you and hope you had fun just like I did. Hehehe. HAPPY BIRTHDAY and GOD BLESS!!!

p/s: We'll hang out more often next time. Esp. when I've gotten myself a job (like...finally). Hahaha!
