Yvonne Foong -

But accepting their flaws doesn't help much. Instead, they think it's fine to be mean. What if I gave it back to them? Will they stop their ugly habits? But then, I will be a bad person too and may cause more chaos.

I am always thought to be nice to people. But no one ever told me to protect myself. I am human with feelings too and I do not deserve to be mistreated. Buddha teaches us to forgive and be open-minded. I tried but my human emotions cannot be denied. God gave us the ability to feel so why should we fight against God's creation?

I also wonder, when will these mean people succumb to the evil things they did.

SPCA is appealing for amendments to the law protecting animals in Malaysia. In our opinion, animal abusers should face harsher punishments. Do your bit of charity by signing the petition.. HERE  

And for most people out there, consider volunteering to charity instead of bumming at shopping malls and watering holes.  

For the Subang-Lites, PAWS is very accessible.  

HELP THOSE WHO CAN'T SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES!

I made new friends. Joanne was to pass me Op. 20 so she couldn't make it to Subang so she passed it to a guy name Vincent. It was like ages ago when I lost my phone and the fella who stole my phone replied her! so all the while she thought I knew until yesterday when I finally met her online after a long time. So today, Vincent and another guy named Luke, or more commonly known as Theng Terk from SMSJ too, came over to mua house to pass me the pieces. They invited me to join them for a drink and I agreed. I surely made the right choice.

At the mamak stall, 4 other people joined us, including me there were 2 girls. Philip Chua was one of them and the rest I couldn't remember their names but there were four ex-smsjians including myself. They try to include me into their conversations and when I looked puzzled they'd explain to me what's happening. And Luke knows Kenrick by chance. Haha! small world... Philip and I also spoke about the choir and his siter, Kelly Chua. We also talked about martial arts and a lot of other topics. It's fascinating to see new interaction environments. These people are not extremely close to each other but they sure communicate like the best of buddies including the female. Vincent's from Ipoh so he knew them via college and church. I could see that their laughters are very real and they just let themselves go without bothering what people think. Although I don't quite fit in yet but they sure made me feel comfortable.

When sending me back, Vincent and Luke invited me to join them some other time. I didn't really answer but I'm more than glad to join. heh heh...

The Bear doesn't want honey, The Bear wants MONEY! there are a lot of things to be bought...blablabla...  

I slapped my forehead and thought, "that's the most RIDICULOUS thing I have ever heard!!" I wouldn't be suprised if these Sri KL pre-schoolers one day grow up to believe that bears feed on money. They'll be so treatened at groccery stores with big greezy bears shopping with them.  

Don't people realise that children grow up to be like their caretakers? So it's VERY irresponsible of the school to say things like that. They must be very careful in communicating with children, so the kids won't absorb wrong informations.  

I must cross the road one day and tell the little ones, "Bears DO eat HONEY!!" It's the adults who wants money.

I feel that folk dances are also very interesting after all because the steps are very simple and easy to learn(no sweat....literally). The japanese folk songs are also very catchy and the tempo is pretty obvious. I could guess when does a certain action ends. :-D

For those of you who don't know, today is the Japanese version of Cheng Meng. It's a day for the Japanese to erm...how to say... honor their ancestors. For the full story, search google. HEHEHE!! 

1. No matter what situation I'm in, I always get helped.
2. That is because I've a bunch of wonderful friends who love me for who I am.
3. I've got both my parents with me.
4. Joo Kim pointed this out the other day: Eventhough I don't drive and don't have a car, but I always have someone to drive me around. Whether its my parents or my friends. (also becuz I live in a strategic area)
5. becuz I have to undergo great difficultis so early in life, I'm forced to face many problems that adults should face, thus making me more resiliant.
6. I've had a happy childhood. And that's already a blessing.
7. And finally... this one is for me to know. heehee!!

Dats all that I can think of now. I'm not focusing cuz Kenrick chai-chai is reaaaally annoying me!~!

As you can see, I changed layouts again. I didn't really like the last one. This looks much more pleasant to MY eyes, at least. heh heh! I'm fed up of all those fancy layouts already. I realise I get more response using this type of layout where everything is written on just one page instead of having to click links after links.

That's all for now. Adieu!

I feel so helpless again. I've graduated secondary school and on the path to discover my future. While many of my friends have already engaged in a prospective education, I'm still doubting my choices. At first, I thought designing would be best because I enjoy art. But I've eyesight of a 60 years old and I need my magnifying glasses to read. I probably won't be able to endure the long hours anyway. Then, I switched to music because I love to sing and I have a very sweet voice. But then, my hearing is so poor, its getting harder to control my pitch nowadays. And I live in fear of loosing my left ear as well. What am I going to do? Am I trying too hard? Maybe I should've just taken my mom's words. I should've just bum around and enjoy life. But it's not me to sit around and do nothing.

If I value my priorities, my health is definitely more important than education. But seeing my friends being able to do anything they like makes me feel challenged. But I'm also very tired of keeping up the pace. On Monday, I was so tired I had to skip history class and go home to lie down. It's only been 2 surgeries and I'm already so wrecked, how much more energy can I afford to loose?

What am I going to do for the rest of my life? When are they going to find a cure for me?

*sigh* how I wish I'm mundane. I can continue with my studies without worries, sing opera and do a lot of things without being slowed by getting tired and having to go for surgery every now and then. If everything goes, I should be graduating with an advanced diploma when I am 20! Now, I doubt that will happen.

I'm also leaving in fear of losing my hearing. I major in vocal and hearing is very important. If I've both hearing, so much the better. When I get the ABI, I wonder what's going to happen. I love singing. But I feel opera is very tough for a weak person like me. Should I continue to learn opera? or just sing classical without aiming to reach an operatic voice?

Then, is a diploma in music really important for my career? or am I just wasting time? The full-cert diploma does not help much in a singing career. But it does serve as a contingency if I don't sing. Or should I just focus on singing? I hope to be able to gain admission into the Academy of Vocal Arts in Philaedelphia. They take students on a full scholarship basis that worths US$60k a year. cool right? But ofcourse, their requirement is very high. U've to have good foundation. Their 4 years program leads to an artists diploma.

Why do we always face decision-making situations?
