This made my day
I know it's not good to laugh at people, or the song in this case
CLICK ME TO VIEW THE PAGE
but if you ever heard of these songs......
the vocals, dance, or music is usually awesome
a tiny problem comes up thou
the lyrics
the English lyrics
it's just too funny.....
words or phrases come out of nowhere into the song
and it doesn't make much sense when you combine with the Korean lyrics
Then again
I'm listening to the songs to feel the melody, vocals and emotions

It's now 2.05 am in the morning
I'm listening to songs by DBSK
As well as drafting the script for our English Language Project
I'm out of ideas
But this particular song makes me smile
It's just a very nice song
The composer said it's a song that you could listen when you wake up in the morning
It can lift up your spirits
And you'll be ready for the day with a positive mindset
Song: Kiss The Baby Sky by DBSK/TVXQ/THSK **I just love writing the various acronyms;)

I have been a form 6 student for 3 weeks. The holidays are starting--today, right after school.
First week was orientation week. Well, it's the tradition, freshman get bullied by the seniors, nothing new. There are short introductions of each subject by the teachers. Short means 1 hour and above. Honestly, most of the introductions are okay. Best introduction for me was physics and maths. But some were, no offence, teribbly boring. Anyway, there was a lunch party on the last day of the orientation week. We got chicken rice with sauce, chilli or soup, oranges and I can't remember what... Overall, what the food looks like or taste like is not the most interesting part. The best part was the singing performance and prize-giving segment.
The first day of the second week was Teachers' Day. We went to school for the "annual" celebration that includes speeches by the minister of education, the principal, performance by teachers and students. Seriously, the people in our school really do know how to sing, no matter teacher or students. Tuesday was Wesak Day, which means holiday! It was also sweetie's birthday. Typical stingy me, I still didn't get her any presents, sorry. We started class on Wednesday with biology (chemistry was skipped because we didn't know that we're suppose to go to the lab). The teacher had never taught biology, I was thinking now I'm going to be in a big mess... We didn't start lessons because there's no text book. After recess, it was maths. The teacher taught really fast, more than I could imagine. It took me awhile to understand the equations and stuffs, but it was really exciting. General paper followed on and we ended the day with English (MUET). There was no co-curricular activity for the week because the school haven't organize the clubs.
Third week was still going okay. We got an announcement on Monday that 50 out of the form 6 students are going to perform a dance-based-aerobic on Sports Day. Oppa, Mushroom and I got selected and we had practice after school until 3.30pm. It's really tiring although the moves are simple. But when you do it all together, man! It's a mess!!! My limbs were tangled up!! And I was thinking to myself, your not the only one, some are also having the same situation.
Well, it's the holidays. I'm still deciding what should I do. Homework, chores are usual. But should I go back to work a bit? I did say if I'm free, I'll help out there a bit. What to do? I still gotta think about the drama script too.

days passed by
i kept myself in the same place
not moving
as i thought of my behaviour
i felt that
i become more rebellious by the day
only in my mind
but what if
there comes a day
when i couldn't control myself anymore
there comes a day
when i only react to what i feel
anger and hatred
i feel scared
what if i'm not strong enough to fight back
my enemy
who is also
a part of me

From Email
This is a powerful message in our modern society.
Sometimes we may seem to have lost our bearing
& our sense of direction.
One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position
in a big company.
He passed the first interview, the director did the last interview, made the last decision.
The director discovered from the CV that the youth's academic achievements were
excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research,
never had a year when he did not score.
The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarships in school?" the youth answered "none."
The director asked, " Was it your father who paid for your school fees?"
The youth answered, "My father passed away when I was one year old, it was my mother
who paid for my school fees."
The director asked, " Where did your mother work?" The youth answered,
"My mother worked as clothes cleaner.".
The director requested the youth to show his hands.
The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.
The director asked, " Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?"
The youth answered, "Never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books.
Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me."
The director said, "I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your
mother's hands, and then see me tomorrow morning."
The youth felt that his chance of landing the job was high.
When he went back, he happily requested his mother to let him clean her hands.
His mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to the kid.
The youth cleaned his mother's hands slowly. His tear fell as he did that.
It was the first time he noticed that his mother's hands were so wrinkled,
and there were so many bruises in her hands.
Some bruises were so painful that his mother shivered when they were cleaned with water.
This was the first time the youth realized that ...
1. it was this pair of hands that washed the clothes everyday to enable
him to pay the school fee.
2. The bruises in the mother's hands were the price that the mother had to pay
for his graduation, academic excellence and his future.
After finishing the cleaning of his mother hands, the youth quietly washed
all the remaining clothes for his mother.
That night, mother and son talked for a very long time.
_____________________________________________________
Next morning, the youth went to the director's office.
The Director noticed the tears in the youth's eyes, asked: " Can you tell me
what have you done and learned yesterday in your house?"
The youth answered, " I cleaned my mother's hand, and also finished cleaning
all the remaining clothes."
The Director asked, " please tell me your feelings."
The youth said.....
Number 1, I know now what is appreciation. Without my mother, there would not
the successful me today.
Number 2, by working together and helping my mother, only I now realize how
difficult and tough it is to get something done.
Number 3, I have come to appreciate the importance and value of family relationship.
The director said, " This is what I am looking for to be my Manager".
1. I want to recruit a person who can appreciate the help of others,
2. a person who knows the sufferings of others to get things done,
3. and a person who would not put money as his only goal in life.
the director said, You are hired.
Later on, this young person worked very hard.....
1. and received the respect of his subordinates.
2. Every employee worked diligently and as a team.
3. The company's performance improved tremendously.
A child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wanted, would
1. develop "entitlement mentality" and would always put himself first.
2. he would be ignorant of his parent's efforts.
3. When he starts work, he assumes that every person must listen to him,
and when he becomes a manager,
4. he would never know the sufferings of his employees and would always
blame others.
For this kind of people, who may be good academically,
1. may be successful for a while, but eventually would not feel sense of
achievement.
2. He will grumble and be full of hatred and fight for more.
If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or
are we destroying the kid instead?
You can let your kid ...
1. live in a big house, eat a good meal, learn piano, watch a big screen TV.
But when you are cutting grass, please let them experience it.
After a meal, let them wash their plates and bowl together with their brothers and sisters
It is not because you do not have money to hire a maid, but it is because..
1. you want to love them in a right way.
2. you want them to understand, no matter how rich their parents are,
One day their hair will grow gray, same as the mother of that young person.
The most important thing is your ...
1. kid learns how to appreciate the effort and
2. experience the difficulty
3. and learns the ability to work with others to get things done.
