Can I have a cup of "I love my friends"?

So what have I been up to? Watched the Maze Runner with Mag and Sora. It was one of the better movies that came out recently. Always love a good sci-fi adventure movie. Plus cute actors are a bonus. Everyone's fangirling over Dylan. HAHA. WHY YOU SO CUTE DYLAN? Can't wait for the next movie now. Also watched Blended and Jodi Breakers at home. Blended is so freaking hilarious!! I kept laughing at almost every scene, it's such a feel good movie. Loved it.

Also met up with Judy after ages. It was so nice catching up over frozen yogurt. It was my first time trying IIao IIao (apparently pronounced Lao Lao) and I quite liked it. :) I tried to go as healthy as possible with my toppings, choosing Dark Chocolate over White Chocolate. Can't wait to meet Judy again. :)

Judy and I, me unglam face

Also, met up with Reetz, who is going off to study in Oxford in Oct. Gonna miss her man. Thanks for being such a great listening ear always friend. And you have always been my health motivation, continue to be healthy. We'll be #Teamfitness together, focusing on the fitness rather than just the looks. Let's keep a look out for each other so that we may never forget the real reason why we watch what we eat - for health. Like the song "All About That Bass" said, boys like a little more booty to hold at night. Hehe. 

And I have been reading Life Without Limits, written by Nick Vujicic. I'm sure you all know him right? Nick never fails to inspire. Just seeing the cover of the book is enough to inspire me. A guy born without any limbs, but yet he is smiling cheerfully in all his book covers. Hey, if we got functioning arms and legs, shouldn't we be smiling as well? Something to feel blessed for right? In other news, I got new glasses. One of those black nerdy frames to declare to the world that I am a bookworm. HAHA.The question here is, can I pull it off? Of course I can, I can pull anything off. (Where did this shameless Jaslin come from?)

My eyesight got worse though. It's 650/550 now. Calvin Klein glasses though, thanks mom for splurging on me. Love love. I'll try not to drop these glasses as often as I dropped my previous ones. Coincidentally when I was reading Life Without Limits in the washroom this morning (too much information?), I came across a story of a woman, an award-winning photographer who is legally blind.

"Laid off from her job of twenty years, and all but blinded by failed surgery and a hemorrhaged retina, Glennis could not be blamed for despairing and giving up. You might expect her to grow bitter and angry. Instead, she was grateful to soar higher and farther." How inspiring is this? So I shall be grateful for my eyes, no matter how bad my eyesight is, I can see. I can dance, I can sing. I am alive.
I actually have a classmate in MDIS who has really poor eyesight and he told us that he may even turn blind one day. I heart broke when I heard that. I'm not really close to him but I always say "Hi" and "Bye" with a smile before/after class. He seems socially awkward and reserved but a group of my classmates actually included him in their group, made him a part of them and that's really commendable. Usually people don't bother interacting with the quiet ones. So kudos to them for being so nice, really. :') 

As I turn 20, I only have these wishes: To really grow in maturity, wisdom, to understand and empathise with people more, be a better daughter and friend.  Oh and Shah Rukh Khan. Another one of my wishes. HAHAHA. 

I want to learn to be selfless

And wait let me panic for a while. I AM GOING TO BE AN ADULT. NOOOOOOOO. Who else is freaking out about becoming an adult? Adult by age, child by nature. Yep, that's me. Next few weeks are going to be hectic. One presentation, one assignment to be submitted, followed by four exams. Wish me luck. That's all for now, need to prepare to go out. :)

P.s. Also met up with Wan Ling and Zhiqi, it was lovely girls. :)
P.p.s. This post was written in a rush and so I apologize for my grammatical and spelling errors. Peace.

"I can take a lil bit of pain for you"

12/12/12

Happy 12/12/12 people! :D Numerology wise, it's a special day today 'cause there will be no repeated date such as this for a LONG time. I don't think my generation will be alive to see the next  millennium.

Went to school today to do some homework as I can't concentrate at home. My study partners were Mazi and Mabel. This is the second time Mabel snuck into JJC to study. xD

I wanted to discuss about 2 of the issues from the movie "The Greatest". The first issue is death. Life is the most fragile thing on Earth. Even more fragile than relationships, in my opinion. You never know when something might cause you to lose your life. What if...tomorrow never comes?

The movie made me realise that whatever I do everyday counts. And that I have to make every second of my life worthwhile so that if I were to die tomorrow I'd leave with no regrets. Gotta live like it's my last day everyday. :) And cherish every moment with my loved ones. :) But this doesn't mean I am going to party and drink and say YOLO. To cherish life means to do something meaningful with your life, not waste it away partying.

And the 2nd issue I want to discuss is the whole teenage pregnancy thing. Yes, I know people get carried away when they're in love but I think it's really dumb to not think of the consequences. If you are not able to support a child at such a young age, why get knocked up?! Like Paige from X Factor. She had a child at such a young age and she didn't marry the father of her child. I just don't get it...I will never let that happen to me. I wouldn't want my child to ask me where is daddy and why doesn't she have a dad like all the other children. :/

A good accident

Long time no post. I was on the computer yesterday when a pop up from Funshion popped up. I thought I clicked the cancel button but actually I had accidentally clicked on one of the movie they were recommending me to watch. So the movie started to load. I would've canceled it if the beginning scene hadn't been so eye catching. The movie was called "The Greatest" and indeed it was one of the greatest movies I have ever watched in the romance and drama genre. Some accidents are good :D

 THE GREATEST tells the story of Allen and Grace Brewer, a grief-stricken couple whose family has been pushed to the breaking point by the death of their older son, Bennett, in a car crash. When a young woman, Rose, shows up a few months later announcing that she is pregnant with Bennetts child, the Brewers are forced to take her in. At first, Roses presence threatens to tear the family even further apart but, eventually, her interaction with each of the Brewers proves to be the very thing that brings them back together. 

I know it doesn't sound that great from the synopsis above, but you must watch it to feel it. Cried at many parts. I would rate it 5/5. Definitely worth watching :) 

I have many issues from that movie that I'd like to discuss in my blog but not today. My mom is nagging at me to go shower and then do my homework. I'll probably blog tomorrow. Buh-bye :)

Here's the trailer:
