*.* Honey Aloe Vera *.*

I like the taste of honey and aloe vera drink. The sweetness of the honey and the plain yet crunchy feeling just compliment each other. It's not easy to eat the aloe vera when the bottle is filled as the fruits will be sink right at the bottom. It's until you get to half the bottle and you get to taste them both at the same time.

The drink reminds me that life can be sweet yet plain and difficult to live by. Sometimes I wish the sweetness will always remain as it is. The ' Moments of sweetness '. Yet as man, never satisfied with life, will feel that even the sweetness can turn into something boring and bitter.

As you get deeper and come to the bottom half of the bottle, you get some surprises - aloe vera. You never thought that aloe vera is sweet (Well, it's not sweet at all, it's the honey that makes it a little sweet) and it's like life having something plain and sweet both at the same time.

Life is full of surprises. Some people get it more while others lesser. I've come to a conclusion that life is never fair.

I always wanted life to be fair, but it always turn out to be unfair. No matter how hard I tried to make it a little fairer for me, it just doesn't seem to work out. I can't force my way out because I'm not God.

Though I'm not pretty,
I'm not talented,
I'm not smart,
I'm no longer who I was,
One thing I know for sure,
I'm not longer condemned...

I'm really happy. My 5 days spending at Mac wasn't wasted afterall. I got a shocked when I received my results this morning. It was something that I really never expect it. I've got 2As, 1B+ and 3Bs. I was worried that I won't do well because my common test results was B+, C+, D+ for my 3 core modules. I'm really thankful for how God has seen me through.

9 more weeks to go before I bid goodbye to my attachment and do my final year project.

I honestly have no idea what to write for my weekly report this week. Out of 5 days I do nothing for 3 days, did just printing for the remaining 1 day and finally on Friday I got some work to do! Come to think of it, I didn't even complete the work given to me in the morning due 5.30pm in the evening.

I will reach office at 8.30am and I will have my breakfast and read Channel News Asia until 9am. At 9am I will slowly find things to do and wait for 11.30am so that I can slack at that time and wait till 12pm for lunch time. I will reach office at 1.30pm and after which I will slack until 2pm to wait for work. Time always pass the slowest from 3pm to 5pm and I get sleepy always while waiting. I will start slacking at 5.30pm (count down starts) just to wait till 6pm to get home.

Work is just so boring. I don't get to see the sun, I cannot really feel how hot or cold the weather is outside and all I know is my office is very cold. Even weather a jacket will still make you shiver.

It's getting quite lifeless in there. Well, I was warned that more things will be coming in for me to do and I won't be complaining no work anymore... But otherwise..

It has been a long week for me. I just started my industrial attachment this week at Clementi. The world is so small that I met a friend who was my camp group leader 4 years back and my dad's friend. Suddenly I feel well protected.

I was given some tasks which I am able to cope. I really miss my friends and this week I got a chance to meet Suet Lin for lunch. We promised to meet for lunch every Thursday. I really look forward to that.

Well, I failed my driving test. I was a little sad but I'm okay. I was too anxious that all the silly mistakes I made was uncalled for. Anyway, I am going to retake again till I pass.

Looking forward to end of attachment... Welcome myself to the working world.

*.* Contentment Vs Complaining *.*

PS: This is typed by my thoughts and feelings. If anything that is similiar that you see somewhere, it's coincidental. I just want you to know that I did it myself.

I'm getting emotional. I saw a friend and I just knew that she had cancer. She is only 15 years old. I cannot believe what I heard and saw. I just feel so helpless and unjustified. At 15, she should be running around, playing lots of sports, a great future ahead but she can't do all these now.

Sometimes I wonder, human beings are so complicated. We complain anything under the sun. When we are bored, we complain that there is nothing to do. When we are busy, we complain there is too much to do. When the weather is too hot, we complain and wish that it will rain. When the weather is too wet, we complain and wish that it will not rain and let there be sun. We complain and complain and complain. We complain the things we don't have, we are never satisfied with the things we have. I'm guilty of that.

Whenever you and I complain that life is too bored and wished time can pass quickly, sit around and do nothing, wasting time away, have you (and I) ever thought that there are people in this world who are fighting against time and wish that time would just stop right there so that they can live life longer?

Whenever you have a meal and you are too full and couldn't finish your food, have you ever thought of people in places like Africa and India have no food to eat? The children there are mostly malnutrition.

There are so many things in life that we, especially who lives in such a good condition life, missed out so the minute things in our life. We are never appreciative to people who treat us a little better. Sometimes words like 'I'm Sorry, Thank You' can be so difficult to come out from our mouths.

We always see people with tinted glasses (some with ultra rays that can see through the heart), we classified them into category that whether these can be our best friends or spare tires. We do things and say things that are more to our benefits than others. Putting down others and pulling us up will be a better thing to do. I just want to be better mentality.

To be very honest, I'm guilty of most of these. Suddenly I feel that life is short and so unpredictable. You never know what will happen to you at any point of time. I'll learn to take things lightly and be contented than complaining.
