突然的感慨。。。

人生短短几十年。
人们常常会因为失去了才学会珍惜。
宝贵的一堂课可能会是我们负担不起的。
但人生何来无遗憾?
只能说有想要做的事,能的话就尽力完成,减少遗憾。
美好的事,即使再多慎重的计划下也可随时被摧毁。
明天的事,有谁知?
爱身旁的人、爱自己。

-------------------------------------------------------

我没事,只是对身边发生的事的有感而发吧。
减少遗憾?说的容易做的难吧。但不试的话肯定有遗憾。

在广播听了一首很好听的老歌-领悟。电视剧《 再见双人床》的主题曲-伴 也超好听的。觉得不只好听、感人,也似乎说明了一些道理。我并没有追看《 再见双人床》, 但认为这是一部具有教育意义的戏。对了,如果我没有错的话,以后的电视剧都会有中/英subtitle!

i-weekly的其中一页就有剧中一些有趣的婚姻理论。taken from Joanne Peh's Facebook.

多两天就考完试了,剩下的 COM222 将会是用电脑打中文字!(哈哈,所以我才那么努力地在打华文字!)既然不知要读什么,所以就开始做CO265A report. 啊,也不清楚他要的是什么,只好agar agar 咯!要专心并不容易,一直重播那几首歌,又做一些有的没的。 X:

今日练习到此结束。

sense of appreciation

Something that was mentioned by Miss Angela Chew, who was my secondary school English teacher, that one should not take things for granted. Of course she didn't phrase it in this way, but she said something similar to that. She said something like people who are opening the door or are pressing the door for you and others are not within what they have to do or what they should do. Yet people take that for granted and often ignore the effort of the person who did something extra. Is saying a "thank you" that difficult? I think people just don't appreciate it, or simply, they don't even think about it as something extra as it is your duty since you're standing near the buttons.

In this bureaucratize society, speed and efficiency seems to contribute to fast paced life of people,who are unable to wait for the doors of the lift to be closed. Do you have to stare at the person who is near the door and signal "Hello, can you damn button since it's near you? it's your damn responsible!". Oh why should the person press the button? The doors will be closed eventually. If you're damn so worry about doors not closing, then why not you just stand next to them so that you can press the buttons asap? 

This man was starring at me in lift as if it is my duty to press for the closing door. HE STARED AT ME. I don't think that I'm thinking too much cos at least I think he did that. Hello, you don't have to stare at me. It's not my job. As a passenger in the lift and wanting to get to my level I did press the button and it's the lift's fault for not closing. Don't give me that stupid damn expression like OH CAN YOU PRESS THE DAMN BUTTON. That's annoying. I was with my friends. I said "DON'T GIVE ME THAT EXPRESSION" to my friend but I was trying to direct at that idiot. I don't know if they get it, but if they don't, I'm performing a convert rebellious (is it?). Anyway my friends were also asking me to press the button and that blinded man seems to be unable to see that I pressed. Why should I be conform to such a social expectation?

Okay, shan't talk so much since I have to do HS401 asap but I need to say it out. Ever since I made sense of what Miss Chew said I think it is very true that we should at least thank them. This is because as one who performed those expectations, I felt so happy and appreciated that people thanked me for my small action. At least I know I'm not taken for granted and I didn't waste my time pressing/opening the door for everyone like a door-opener yet like an idiot to leave the place last. There was once when I left the lift as the second last passenger, I thanked the girl who pressed the door for everyone to get out of the lift first. She look damn happy after I thanked her! A small action should be appreciated.

So people, don't take other for granted. If you don't appreciate me, I'll hate you. HAHA.
