If I'm not mistaken, when I was in Form5, I came upon this poem. And now I stumbled upon it yet again. The difference? I actually get what the poem is trying to convey now. I seriously didn't get where the author was heading throughout the whole poem. Life's experiences do have an impact on the way you perceive stuff.
To let go does not mean to stop caring,
it means I can't do it for someone else.
To let go is not to cut myself off,
it's the realization I can't control another.
To let go is not to enable,
but allow learning from natural consequences.
To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means
the outcome is not in my hands.
To let go is not to try to change or blame another,
it's to make the most of myself.
To let go is not to care for,
but to care about.
To let go is not to fix,
but to be supportive.
To let go is not to judge,
but to allow another to be a human being.
To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes,
but to allow others to affect their destinies.
To let go is not to be protective,
it's to permit another to face reality.
To let go is not to deny,
but to accept.
To let go is not to nag, scold or argue,
but instead to search out my own shortcomings and correct them.
To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires,
but to take each day as it comes and cherish myself in it.
To let go is not to criticize or regulate anybody,
but to try to become what I dream I can be.
To let go is not to regret the past,
but to grow and live for the future.
To let go is to fear less and love more
and
To let go and to let God, is to find peace!
Remember: The time to love is short

I asked God
I asked God for strength that I might achieve.
I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey.
I asked for health that I might do greater things.
I was given infirmity that I might do better things.
I asked for riches that I might be happy.
I was given poverty that I might be wise.
I asked for power that I might have the praise of men.
I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God.
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.
I was given life that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.
I am, among all men, most richly blessed

Okay I seriously don't have a title for this blog post. And I think I'm kinda 'rusty' in blogging already. Hey guysss!.... that check in on my blog I'm so honored to still be on your reading list *tears a bucket of tears* Hee! I know I haven't been updating for a reallyyyy long time. Been kinda busy. But most of the time I feel weird blogging, so I avoid it most of the time. But since 2010 is gonna end soon I decided to drop a few posts. X) Well, I won't be blogging about what has been happening in my life since my last post, which will take seriously Seriously SRZLYY long, so I'll be updating random things I remember most about 2010. For today.. it'll be all about movies that I remember watching this year.. Not all of 'em are released this year, though most of them are.
I think I'm very 'in' this year with movies. I broke my record of going to the cinema the-most-number-of-times this year. I don't even remember how many times I went.
Yeap! I think this is my first time watching a movie in 3D. I still remember it was during the last day of trials that I went out w my college friends to watch this. The movie was good. Though the ending was a little tiny biny sad to me. Mmmhmm. Oh and on the same day I watched Shutter Island too. Also my first time watching 2 movies back to back in the cinema. Oh and watching Shutter Island is also the first time I watched a thriller movie IN the cinema. HAHA. Many firsts this year for me.
Hmm. Ice Kacang Puppy Love. It was sort of a sudden plan to go and watch this. And again, this is my first time watching a Malaysian film in cinema. (I think I should be supporting M'sian films more XD) Actually at first I really didn't expect much out of this film.. but it really took me by surprise. I expected the story line to be veryy typical. But it wasn't. And the ending is certainly not what you expect it to be. I think the ending made me like the film a lot. After watching the film somehow it made me wanna eat ice kacang. xp
Yeap! It's a 2009 film. Decided to watch this at home one day since I heard it's really good. And it is. The dog is sooo cutee! "I was hiding under your porch because I love you." AWWWW!!! It's a really touching movie, though it was a little slow to me. There was a line that made me ponder after watching it. It was something like Russell saying "I think the boring stuff is the stuff I remember the most. " I think that statement is kinda true.. don't cha think so?
HAHA yeahh I know this is super old but I only watched it this year.. The toilet scene is REALLY GOOOD! AHAH! Total thumbs up for this!
Toy Story 3 is one of the movies I won't be forgetting soon. I give it 5 full stars. It makes you laugh cry and everything. I remember there was a scene that was a little scary too. Yeah. Hee. I love the 3 alienssss! They're soo cutee! "ooOOooohhh the clawww" hahah! If you're ever bored at home and pondering on what movie to watch.. this is one movie that can definitely entertain you. =)
2 Malaysian films again! Really good movies too.
PAPOI! XD
Peter Pevensie: Lucky you know.
Lucy Pevensie: What do you mean?
Peter Pevensie: You've seen him. I wish he'd just given me some sort of proof.
Lucy Pevensie: Maybe we're the ones that need to prove ourselves to him.
How true...
Oh this movie is worth watching in 3D. XD
Yeap. Nearly all the movies I've watched so far in 2010. I personally think every story you hear or movie you watch will change you a little somehow. =) Oh well. Hope I won't forget the lessons (the good ones) learnt through these movies... and the company too. X)

Kingda Ka
It's a roller coaster if you're wondering. Hee.
So what's been up with life. It's a whole new year woooohooo. Feels the same. Well all I can see ahead of this year is changes.. lots of them. Like they say right? The only constant thing in life is change. How true. By June I'll be done with my A-Levels (and hopefully do good enough) and enter Uni. Uni...that word seemed so distant when I was a kid. Still seems a little distant to me now. However distant it seems that word certainly does fit my age!
Okay so back to the exams. It's overr!!! Exam was okay... it ate away my whole January. But the papers were alright...except for Physics 2 .... and 4 which I took just now. I just know that I wrote lotsa weird and funny (to my sis and bro) answers in my paper. Different way of thinking ma... The rest were a blur.. but I know for every Bio paper I was blasted either by the aircond or the fan.
I somehow feel awkward when I blog nowadays. Absent from the blogging world too long maybe? Meanwhile gonna watch moviesssss... and play Nancy Drewsssss... while munching on cookiesssss my sis brought back. Yay XD

Five =D
Got my AS results today. Truly by God's grace. Seriously. Was eye-mouth-nose-ear wide open when I saw my results. For a moment there I thought I took the wrong one. Yeah. But gotta keep reminding myself this is just AS, and only 1 unit! If I took 2 units for each subject this time my marks now may have to be divided by two.
I passed my driving test! XD And I got my license already. LOL. Driving can be a fun and annoying thing at the same time I guess. I failed my road test the first time. I think it was 'cause I was still overjoyed by the fact that my car tyre was actually ON the yellow line on the slope (I usually don't get that right) Yeah. And that my car didn't slide down. WHEEEEE.
Er. Let's see. Oh. BBQ Night in my college. Theme was Mix & Match. Quite cool I guess. Could see people wearing real wierd stuff... like a guy wearing coconut bra. Uh huh. It was that day that I dug out my closet and realized how some colours DO match. I went like "Why everything suddenly can match one??!" all the way. But in the end what I wore wasn't really that contrasting. Got dragged to dance. Was vibrating in there instead. LOL But seriously, the dance floor is really HOT.
And errr.. 2 weeks ago I think. Was walking into the college compound. Being me I decided to kick a small rock... for the fun of it.. and I also just felt like running. More like chasing after something. So I kick kick kick like. And I kicked this car's TYRE. It wasn't even the middle, it was the part touching the road. And... the alarm went off!! OoO I was kinda stunned there for a moment. And then. Yeah. Embarassing. But later when I was running in to report to... whoever. One guy teacher came out with his car keys in his hand. I kinda knew it was his car. And yeah. The alarm stopped. I shall dig a hole in the ground for my head soon.
Would like to take the train to and from college someday soon. Somehow I like it. But it's really tiring. Maybe it's the independent feeling I guess. I've always taken it with my mum. Ahh well. Maybe I'll dread being independent when I AM actually independent. Talking about independency (lol). I gotta decide what I'm gonna study.... like REAL soon. It's already end of August. And I'm still in a blur. I get the figure of it but it's still just not crystal clear. Maybe I'll just become those people who take in those new drugs that are still on trial. Can earn lotsa money lehh... just swallow a pill and sleep.
Hope my mum lets me go college tomorrow. I wanna do some exercise!!
