things has been moving rather slowly since i came back from china, and it kind of hard to get use to. normally at this time of the year, i will be wearing my uniform and going back to school, having fun with my peeps and knowing new juniors=D but my life is being turned upside down totally, i realized that i actually cant get used to doing nothing and stone XD its an irony of life, when u are busy, u desire to be free, and when im free, i desire to have something to do...it shows that we always need to strike a balance and not have too much of one.

i will contradict myself now: alot of things has happened since i came back, most noteworthy one will be the release of the olvl results. alot of juniors did below their expectations and are now feeling depressed and lost. Me myself also fell victim to the "post-olvl-blues" so i clearly understand how some of my juniors are feeling now.

thus i wanna talk about the "heart of life", inspired by John Mayer's song of the same title. i believe whether we are faced with setbacks in life, all we need is some form of reminder to put away the past and face the future bravely. John Mayer reminded me in this song that pain throws our hearts to the ground, but love can turn the whole thing around. Things dun always turn out as it should, but at the end of the day, i believe that the heart of life is good. everything happens for a reason, each event teaches us a lesson of life, and if we look out for them, we will be able to see a bright side in the darkness situations. especially when we are afraid to move on, always rememeber that fear is but a friend who is misunderstood by us. no matter what, i believe as long as your heart is good, the heart of life will be good to u as well, theres no obstacle too high to cross.

this applies to me as well. i dun expect year 2009 to be 100% smooth-sailing and trouble-free, so i hope this song will serve as a reminder to me and everyone else, that when times are bad, nvr gave up hope, if u are faced with setbacks, learn from it and move on bravely, be who you are and believe in yourself! =D

of cos i wanna congragulate everyone who has done well for their Olevels, never be self-satisfied and continue to strive for greater heights =D my alevels will be released soon as well and i hope everything to turn out well =) and finally happy chinese new year to you ^^

time to enjoy the masterpiece =)

The Heart of Life - John Mayer

I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears and listen

Pain throws you heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way, it should
But I know the heart of life is good

You know it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
Then the circle of your friends
Will defend the silver lining

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good

I know it's good
