Lessons i have learnt (march 05)

This entry was written on 2005-03-22 3:13 a.m. That period was a transitional one for me, as i had just learnt that i have to leave TJC to NYJC. Thankfully, a book managed to soothen out the bumps for me, and thus made my transition a relatively easeful one. This book is "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom. Now who says books can't change lives? =)

I've learnt many lessons today.

To indulge in life's simplest pleasures.
i was just taking the bike for a walk. the weather was really superb.. warm but not hot. moist sea breeze blows against my face...even the sound of the sea..

To truly appreciate.
be it my surroundings, my friends, family, people who are around me, just strangers, and yes, even my disappointing results. oh by the way, i'm confirm not in TJ le.

To trust.
a few times today i just closed my eyes and cycle short distances slowly, let the sounds take over. sometimes i need to trust my senses more.. eyes arent everything. well.. the other day on MRT, i was thinking, i rather be blind than be deaf, because i wun be able to hear my fave music anymore...and i dun like silence. but i guess i would learn to appreciate it more.

To treasure the important things in your life.
love or perish. we all need love, be it couple-ly love, friendship love, family love, even your love for the nature, the wind, the sea.. the important things does not, however, include things like wealth(though i dun have much), clothes, appearance, yes...even the new bike i've been wanting so bad to get it...material things will always come after your soul has been fed. for now till...at least for a while, my aleco(current bike brand) will do. heh...

To immense in my emotions totally, and detach fully. To truly be myself. Throw away all the cultural norms, society norms, all the embarrasement u think u might feel from doing some things you really want to do.
