I got praised for one of the weirdest things one could ever be praised for. But I guess I really am proud of myself for this!
Mum: You slept at 11.30 p.m. last night? Me: Yeps. Mum: Wahh, you've been sleeping earlier these days arh... Good, keep it up! Me: Hee, OK!
Sorry if this seems like an wuliao post, but I've been a good boy, OK! =P

Fireworks
After last year's fireworks, you could say that my aunts and I have become veterans! We know how to get there early enough, get a good spot, bring things to occupy ourselves... All for the long wait that would be well worth it when the fireworks come on.
One thing, though, that we didn't bring last year was a camera, so we made sure that we brought one this time round!

The Paradoxical Commandments
People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds. Think big anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs. Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do help them. Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway.
You know how the MRT carriages have doors opening on both sides...
Imagine yourself arriving at your destination station, standing in front of one of the two doors, waiting for the doors to open... Right behind you.
Then you turn around and walk towards the other door while everyone looks on as the doofus makes his way across.
Case #2:
You're waiting on the platform for the train to come...
Yay, it approaches! It comes in from the right, just like them buses and taxis on the road...
My arm feels a funny twitch... My brain says, 'Hmm.' My arm goes up anyway -- To flag down the train.
Help, maybe I should just take the next train.

Laughing At Myself
Laughing at your ownself can be the funniest sometimes!
Me: So what's Takuto* doing right now? ZQ: Watching Mr. Bean. Me: But how does he understand what's going on? There aren't any Japanese subtitles, are there? ZQ: You know Mr. Bean doesn't talk much, right?
*ZQ's playing host to Takuto, a foreign student from Japan.

Straight Into A Pillar
Today I saw someone walking head-down, and then straight into a pillar.
So now I think I have a theory as to the way people walk.
First, there're the people with their noses in the air. Probably the arrogant, over-confident, or egoistic kinds.
Then, there're the people who always look down. Either they're careful people, always looking down at where they tread, or they've very low-confidence in themselves and are more reserved.
Both ways, I think one day they'd end up walking straight into a pillar. So look straight ahead!
I used to be the kind that always looked down, my head perpetually hanging at the hinges; I was the meek, quiet, and reserved person. But I guess I've slowly gained more confidence in myself, and I slowly started to raise my head...
Now I hope I maintain my forward-looking walking habit, then I won't ever have to worry about walking straight into a pillar.
With a good appetite, you may either love to cook, or just love to eat! Being a laid-back kind of person, you enjoy the simple things in life. That's okay, because you don't like things moving too fast, anyway.
A kind, sweet and romantic person, you will make someone very happy someday. You often do things for people without reason, and sometimes you are unappreciated. Peaches are appealing and full of feeling, just like you.
