To truely pursue something, one should be determined enough, work hard for it, stick at it, have backbone, guts, stamina, relentless focus. As long as the person is ready and willing to learn and apply themselves diligently. That's how most of the sucessful people change their lives. Impossible is nothing. The future is in your hands. (so easily said)
But, it's harder to manage yourself than you think.
People tend to think they know themselves until they come to give up smoking, lose weight, get fit, get rich. Then they realise they tend to give up easily, no willpower, are lazier, less determination, make less effort, too easily dissuaded, fall by the wayside too readily. Human's nature.
You are the one
Take me where I've never been
Help me on my feet again
Show me that good things come to those who wait
Tell me I'm not on my own
Tell me I won't be alone
Tell me what I'm feeling isn't some mistake
'Cause if anyone can make me fall in love, you can
Save me from myself, you can
And it's you and no one else
If I could wish upon tomorrow tonight would never end
If you asked me I would follow
But for now I'll just pretend
'Cause if anyone can make me fall in love, you can
Baby, when you look at me
Tell me what do you see
Are these the eyes of someone you could love?
'Cause everything that brought me here
Well, now it all seems so clear
Baby, you're the one that I've been dreaming of
If anyone can make me fall in love, you can
Save me from myself, you can
And it's you and no one else
If I could wish upon tomorrow tonight would never end
If you asked me I would follow
But for now I'll just pretend
'Cause if anyone can make me fall in love
Only you can take me sailing in your deepest eyes
Bring me to my knees and make me cry
And no one's ever done this
Everything was just a lie and I know, yes, I know
This is where it all begins
So tell me it will never end
I can't fool myself, it's you and no one else
If I could wish upon tomorrow tonight would never end
If you asked me I would follow
But for now I'll just pretend
'Cause if anyone can make me fall in love, you can
Show me that good things come to those who wait

On 21st of May,
he was in the train on the way to school;
he dropped his phone into the train's railway;
he can't retrieve it because the door closed just on time;
he lost all information and contacts in the phone;
he attended the first lesson;
he got a warning letter from the lecturer;
he finishes school;
he went to the train station to report about the lost phone;
he was told that they will check when the traffic's low;
he found out that it was still resting on the railway;
he notice it's raining and water is conquering the railway;
he thought about the condition of the missing phone;
he was moodless for the rest of the day.
but now, he understands.
There's sure to be some "downs" and there's absolutely no point to cry why would this happen, blame the heavens, and be miserable.
Life goes on anyway.
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back. Don't blame life when he gave you a hundred reasons to cry, show life you have a thousand reasons to smile.
Cheers,
Kelvin

Everyone want to fall in it. Because that experience makes people feel completely alive. Where every sense is heightened, every emotion is magnified, our everyday reality is shattered and we are flying into the heavens. It may only last a moment, and hour, an afternoon. But that doesn't diminish its value. Because we are left with memories that we treasure for life. It is as much of an object as an obsession, everybody wants it, everybody seeks it, but few ever achieve it, those who do will cherish it, be lost in it, and among all, never... never forget it.
It is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what it is. It is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in "it" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Itself is what is left over when being in "it" has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. My mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.
Now, do you understand love?

Everthing is HELLO KITTY here. Quite pricy but reasonable. As you hardly see these kind of retail around singapore. Don't miss it kitty lovers, located at vivocity.
Went to the well known attraction in singapore, Sentosa today. Saw the IR under construstion. What i can say that it's really huge. With the casino and all. Underwater world didn't changed much but didn't see any swordfishes and hammer head sharks which i saw the last time. Missed the dolphine show too. Oh well. Not very worth it for $23.90. But we had fun of course. We've got to see many different varities of sea creatures. One of the most interesting is angel fish. It's completly a copy of an angel. Those fairy like sea creature. Looks really alike and its facinating the way it moves. Just like a beautiful tiny angel flying in water. Another interesting sea creature is a kind of jelly fish which absorb the light around it. Very breath taking scene with many jellyfish hovering around in the water with the beautiful colour. Didn't managed to take any photos as my phone is flat. Oh well. The white sand in siloso beach is still very soft. It feels like quick sand when u step on it. The difference it that you don't sink. A worth it trip to sentosa after all, everyone should visit it once in a while.
Had my first guitar lesson with teacher Jiayi on the weekends. I had a lot to learn.
A video of me at lesson with teacher Grace on tuesday. I still change chords like 3 seconds now. Need more practise for improvement. New blog of my self development project at http://kelvin-dir.blogspot.com I will still be doing personal blog here.Well, have a nice day and enjoy life.

Life
Is it so hard? so hard to cherish life? sounds like a christian but its true i guess. People need to be more optimistic about life. Life is great, actually, if you want it to be great. Quit thinking about all the bad things in life, unfairness, only happens to you or whatsoever. But, the opposite. As in what had happened to you and not anybody else, and how had that changed your life for the better or what had you learnt from the experience. People can actually choose to live the way they wanted to live. [FAILED] Just need to be more independent and have a great mind set. When you want to do something, you do it and complete it.
Today i saw a lunatic at about 1am plus when i was back from jogging. He went to sit in the middle of the road for about 15 to 20 seconds. I was like, woah, this guy, sure is out of his mind. Oh well, youngsters will be youngsters. I'm not very old, but at least i know what i should be doing and what i should not. What is safe for me and what's not. Think twice about the consequences. Accidents do happens. People always say, i know what i'm doing, i can take care of myself and etc. But, why in the world is there a word, "accident"? Why are there still so many accidents happening around the world? It is detinied? Anyway, i just trying to say that people, should not put their life at risk for any reasons unless its really worth it. Not true or dare, not excitement, not money, and definitely not problems. Cherish life
Cheers,
Kelvin
God asks no man whether he will accept life. That is not the choice. You must take it. The only question is how.

"Dreams have but only one owner at a time. Thats why dreamers are lonely."
When you walk alone, you could do whatever you wanted to. Nothing is in the way.
I asked a friend today, "what do you want to do in the future? what's your dream?" he told me he wanted to be a singer who writes and composes music. Thats his true dream. But he doesn't have talent so he'll just give up and try to be a great engineer in the future.
They said to pursue dreams, follow your heart and do what you really wanted to do. (sounds great) But what if you dreamt to be a singer but you don't have a good vocal. Disqualified. Ever seen a famous singer with bad vocal but great passion? People look in your talents, your abilities. Are they really that important? If so, how to dream in reality?

I still don't understand why people post so many photos in their blog.
The strong winds that blew the seafood restaurant. Woah, amazing.
Energy conservation fountain.
Recently came across this question " if there's a million dollars waiting for you at the end, how fast would you run? " I said, " I'll take my time, since it's waiting for me. " Something must be wrong with me.
Friends, brothers, betrayal, forgiving, people, trust, misunderstandings, social, money, love. Few aspects of life. Some people gone through, some don't. But in the end, everyone would have to. It's part of growing up, experiencing and learning. People learn from mistakes, some don't and they have to repeat the lesson again. In the end they get better and better, but got weaker at other aspects. One gained love, friends, trust, social, misunderstandings, got betrayed. One got betrayed, lost friends, social, trust.
" They all ended as all great passions do end --- by a misunderstanding. "

First Love
Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on
Still a little bit of your ghost your witness
Still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day
Still I can't say what's going on
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball
Still a little bit of your song in my ear
Still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that I can't see what's going on
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage!
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know
Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on
Still a little bit of your ghost your witness
Still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day
Still I can't say what's going on
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball
Still a little bit of your song in my ear
Still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that I can't see what's going on
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage!
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know
The movie trip
this photo is so, gay lol
Anyway, today is one of my friend's birthday and we went to eat at northpoint's thai restaurant. The truth is, most of the dishes is fucking spicy hot. Seriously spicy hot.
Candid, justin
Too spicy!!
Stired Fried Chicken.
I just took this picture because the rice are beautiful, unintentional.
In overall, the services is pretty good. They're very friendly waiter/waitress to serve you. Although the dishes are fucking spicy, they comes with the great taste. Recommanded. =)
I'm exercising regularly.
Cool.
Cheers,
Kelvin
