"If you could live an eternity and not change a thing or exist for the blink of an eye and alter everything, what would you choose?"
Gotten this question from The freedom writers diary...
It's an awesome book...packed with powerful emotion about the students day to day struggle in a world whose people used colours to judge human characters...
And this is not just another fiction book, it is actually written by real people with real experience...
They use writing to pour out their deepest feeling on what it's mean to survive in this world filled with hatred, prejudice and labels...
And it's simply amazing that a class of "unteachable, at-risk" students are willing to listen to their English teacher, Erin Gruwell to write their journals...
Erin Gruwell is simply an amazing teacher...she is just a newbie teacher but she done so much for the students...
If u guys wanna noe more...

Moment
Let him wish his life
For the sorrows of a stone
Never knowing the pain of ice
As its crystals slowly grow
Needles pressing in on the heart
To live forever
And never feel a thing
To wait a million lifetimes
Only to erode and become sand
Wish not for the stone
But for the fire
Last only moments
But change everything
Oh to be lighting
To exist for less than a moment
Yet in that moment
To expose the world to every open eye
oh to be thunder
To clap and ring
To rumble into memories
Minds and spines
To chill the soul and shake the very ground
Pounding even the sand
Into smaller pieces
Or the mountain
Brooding, extinct
Yet gathering for one final moment
The power to blow the top clean off the world
Oh to last the blink of an eye and leave nothing
But nothing unmoved behind you
Vincent Guilliano
Some quotations in the movie...
"I hate white people.."
"you dunno me..."
"But i noe what you can do....."
"Raise your hand if any of you know about the holocaust?"
(one raise up..)
"Raise your hand if any of you have be shot at..."
(Everybody except one white raise up their hand..)
And that's a lot more....
Enjoy the show..guys...

I hate myself for feeling so weak....
I hate myself for feeling so groggy in class...
Especially in database system class....
It's have been like this for the past 2 weeks...
I dun like to see myself in this pathetic wreak-up state...
It's suffocating me...
Seeing my faci teach with me struggling to stay awake on my chair...
I wanna listen..but my body just wun listen to my command...
Even a cup of caffein nv boost up my body system...
I wun let myself be like this next week...
It's time to wake up...
to reality.....
Things to work on:
- MY java programming skills.
- PP Outline
- Writing a good summary...

While the world sleeps
Thursday, April 24, 2008 @ Thursday, April 24, 2008
{When I wake up to the ear-splitting sound of my alarm clock, and blindly search for the snooze button, a sudden thought dawns: "What am I doing?"
The time is 5:30 AM; all is dark and hushed. My weary body feels completely drained of energy. While straining to open my eyes, still warm and snug in my comfortable bed, I am overcome with a feeling of lethargy. "Perhaps I should call in sick." Despite all my musing, and my bed's magnetic pull, I still manage to rise each morning at this ungodly hour to join the cross-country running team in rigorous training.
Cross-country running, a sport that requires the fusing of body and mind, strives to maximize your physical ability by testing your mental tenacity. Everyday represents a new struggle to beat yesterday's maximum output, an issue of mind over matter. I have known the agony of this conflict since I joined the newly established cross-country team. As convincing as my morning doubts are, I do not heed them. Through pains and sprains and through adverse weather and unfavorable conditions, I run because I made up my mind three years ago to succeed.
With amenities such as cars and buses, I have no pragmatic reason to use my feet, especially if I lack a destination. I do not run to the gym to acquire a stylish figure, for my slender frame does not require it. And this grueling run differs from a relaxing jog to a coffee shop. I am pushing myself constantly to run faster and farther, for my team as well as for personal glory. Somehow with tireless effort and unflagging commitment, I run through the sleeping streets of my neighborhood with the awareness that I am steadily reaching my goal-maintaining the discipline that cross-country demands. In my mind I see a victory line that symbolizes the results of perseverance and hard work. This line makes me realize that ambition and tenacity do not go in vain. And it constantly reminds me that all those morning in which I struggled to leave my cozy cocoon have allowed me to fly.
While the world slept, I, Jane Smith, was awake and working hard to attain my goal. I feel more confident now, that on the road of life, when others may be walking, I will be running. I will run through ankle injuries and through fatigue. I will endure the inevitable hills and valleys. I will endure, and I will achieve.}
Inspiring.....

You Are Right Brained In Love |
Peacemaker, first to end a fight Good at thinking up creative dates Tend to fall in love and get hurt easily Going with your gut instead of your head Empathetic and caring, sometimes to a fault Good at recognizing patterns in relationships Been in love many times, perhaps too many to count Wildly passionate and intense when falling in love Spontaneous with relationships, going with the flow Overly visual - can play back past dates like movies in your mind Roses, love poems, and stuffed animals are a good start to winning your heart |

Finally i get to do a proper homework after one year in RP...
English comprehension...hahaha...
IT felt so strange sitting in a class of 16 years old..
I felt like a senior citizen trying to learn English...>.<
LOL..no la...well..the tuition teacher is quite friendly...
I Felt so happy burying myself in the text and questions...
And i discovered sth....I am quite flexible in my thinking...
When the other students are pondering abt wat the author in the story is trying to say...
I just blabber out the answer like a flip of my palm...
When they turned to look at me....
their expression is sth like "hey...i thought u a sucker in English...how can u understand de..?"
Coz i am actually a book person...^^
And just by thinking i can do this again..(I hope the last time le..) made me feel so wheee...
And ya..today is the first day of Orientation to me...
