forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people will accuse
you of selfish ulterior motives:
be kind anyway.
If you're successful, you'll win some
false friends and some true enemies:
succeed anyway.
If you're honest and frank,people may cheat you:
but be honest anyway.
What you spend years building,
someone can destroy overnight:
build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous:
be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow:
do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough:
give the world the best you've got anyway."
give the world the best you've got anyway."

Posted by Philothea` @ Saturday, March 26, 2005 | Look at me
You may think you see who I really am
But you'll never know me
Everyday it's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside
I am now in a world
where I have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world what's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
There's a heart that must be free to fly
That burns with a need to know the reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think
How we feel
Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide
I won't pretend that I'm Someone else for all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside
This is one of my all time fav song. (: Lovely! Anyway, my reflection in the mirror yest nite and this morning was uttery horrifying! My eyes are so swollen after takin panadol. I could barely pen my eyes this morning. My mum gave them to me even though she knew that I've drug allergies: brufen, dicl, aspirin. But I was desperate to rid of my fever too. It was 38.4, then 38.3, went up to 38.4 again and down 38.1..now I'm fineee except the eyes. yes still a lil swollen. It betta be in shape by tmr or I'll haf to wear sunglasses to church and be mistaken for such a poser. HEALER, do your work in me! Prayers, everyone, pleassse!
Dawn's supposed to stay over at my place dis sat. But since my cousin's still at my place, chances are slim that she can do so. Hai. Have to pospone it AGAIN!
By da way, my 10 yr old, active and bubbly cousin,CHANG YONG JUN had kept me soo busy today. He has such a huge appetite! He ate baked rice and noodles for lunch, fried rice and biscuits for dinner...complaint that he was still hungry jus nw and wanted me to get pizza for him. I cooked him instant noodles for supper instead. That's not all! He still went for a bowl of sweet potatoes soup after that. I wonder what does my aunt usually feed him. He wakes up early in the morning (not later than 8am) and is still hyper now. I already played some card games with him, entertained him with my singing and storytelling, accompanied him while he played some toys...since when I became his baby sister?! My friends mistook him for my bro. 3 younger bros is enuff to kill me. Pardon me from any others. Afterall, i still love him to bits ever since he was a baby. He's still as adorable. I hope he grows up to be a handsome, intelligent, fine young man.(",)
TIME FOR BED!

-Colin Goh
There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in france. Sweetmeats are candies, which arent sweet are meat.
We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guienea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers dont groce and hammers dont ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isnt the plural of booth beeth? One goose, two geese. So one moose, two meese?
Doesnt it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend, that you comb through annals of history but not a singel annal?
If teachers taught, why dont preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? If you wrote a letter, perhaphs you bote your tongue?
In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? Park on driveways and drive on parkways?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell another?
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm clock goes off by going on.
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of human race (which, of cos, isnt a race at all). Thats why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.
And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it.

Posted by Philothea` @ Wednesday, March 23, 2005 | My holidays are finally here!!! FINALLY! I'm finally updating my blog.
I felt so relieved after the last project submission last friday. I kissed drawing, colour, comdi, writing, research and blah, GOOD BYE! at least for now. I'm having so much fun nowadays and there's not a single moment of boredom.
So much stuffs took placed over the past few days and I'm kinda lazy to spill out the details nw.
Here's a summary of it...
19 March Saturday
-Easter service (part 3)
One day in the house of God is betta a thousand days in the world!
-movie mania 3 (Brother Bear)
I can't believed i actually cried which I usually don't, plus, this's a cartoon. Anyhow, the lil bear is so adorable!
-Planet shakers concert @downtowneast
it's always great to praise and worship God but im still a lil disappointed wif it. Maybe cos we were latee, din haf a gd place, it felt so warm inside and im perspiring like crazy etc. I realised it's more like a church service...preaching and altar call. Everything there can be experienced in church except the band itself. Anyway, the atmosphere reminded me of annual June church camp. I brought home one very clear message with me: There's NOTHING my God cannot do!
-stayover at my aunt's place
20 March Sunday
-caught Princess on Ice wif aunt dorothy and my cousin
I like disney and I'm still very much like a child at heart. I love the way they danced on the ice with such elegance! It has kept me amazed n entertained with those lovely props, costumes, characters and the story itself. I suddenly tot how pathetic is the ice skating place in singapore, only left one in Jurong.
-Adidas warehouse sales
Really nuthin much. I only spent $10 there. Karen and Naomi were there as well, met them when i was having breakfast at the foodcourt.
21 March Monday
-Returned to school
the intiate plan was to gym, return my library book and get the tickets to Rosyton's Tan movie showcase. BUT I ended up having lunch, forgot to bring the book and paid for the tickets at the Design general office but haf no idea when i can get the tickets. Havnt received news of it till nw. whata scam!
-Gave tuition
to this pri 2 boy at yishun. it was a breeze! The boy's so obedient and a pretty quick learner. I'm gonna get paid for $140/mth.
my bro's bugging me now.
laters.

[ -*Your Song ]
It's a little bit funny
This feeling inside
I'm not one of those people
Who can easily hide
I don't have much money,
But boy if I didI'd buy a big house
Where we both could live.
If I was a sculptor, (but then again no)
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
I know its not much,But it's the best I can do
My gift is my song
And this one's for you.
And you can tell everybody
That this is your song.
It may be quite simple but
Now that it's done.
Hope you don't mind,
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world.
Sat on the roof
And I kicked off the moss.
Well some of these verses
Well they, they got me quite cross.
But the sun's been kind
While I wrote this song.
It's for people like you
That keep it turned on.
So excuse me forgetting,
But these things I do.
You see I've forgotten
If they're green or they're blue.
Anyway the thing is,
What I really mean,
Yours are the sweetest eyes
I've ever seen.
And you can tell everybody
That this is your song.
It may be quite simple,
butNow that it's done.
I hope you don't mind,
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world!
[ *-One Day I'll Fly Away ]
I follow the night
Can't stand the light
When will I begin
To live again?
One day I'll fly away
Leave all this to yesterday
What more could your love do for me?
When will love be through with me?
Why live life from dream to dream....
And dread the day
When dreaming ends?
One day I'll fly away
Leave all this to yesterday
Why live life from dream to dream?
And dread the day
when dreaming ends
One day I'll fly away
Fly, fly
Away
I follow the night
Can't stand the light
When will I begin
To live again?
One day I'll fly away
Leave all this to yesterday
What more could your love do for me?
When will love be through with me?
Why live life from dream to dream....
And dread the day
When dreaming ends?
One day I'll fly away
Leave all this to yesterday
Why live life from dream to dream?
And dread the day
when dreaming ends
One day I'll fly away
Fly, fly
Away
