GOOD MORNING WORLD! It is seven plus in the morning on a Sunday. Haha I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY haha it's quite funny, so happy that I wanna wake up and post this. Hahaha I CONQUERED THE DISTANCE FROM MY PLACE TO AJ AND BACK LAST NIGHT. :D ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. YOU CAN DO IT! Heh. :D I shall now proceed to engage google map to find out the total length. I estimate it to be 9km. Okay fine, this may seem like nothing to marathon runners, and may seem like a lot to regular people, but it is all about perspective. To me, it is about achieving your goal and always going on no matter what. :D I am really happy because this is the longest distance that I have ever gone before. I haven't taken part in any marathon or highly publicized races. I shall do so in the future. (: Remember to believe in yourself and think only of the positive!
When I ran, I thought about how nice the air was and how I can run faster when I tell myself that. It really works. Place your focus on how you're enjoying it instead. It comes to a point where the very sound of your breath actually spurs you on to run faster and lighter. I FELT LIKE I WAS FLYING. Have you ever experienced that marvelous state where you felt as light and fluffy as a single feather? Oh, it feels so good! HAHA! Do attempt it! Remember, only feed yourself with positive thoughts. Your brain will secret positive chemicals only when you do that, and it is then where your body is able to carry out planned activities the best way.
YOU CAN DO IT, FUTURE NS DUDES Hahaha.
Haha, okay I went to use the map to calculate the distance. I was right! It is almost 9km. (: Well, to many people who run 10 kilometres everyday, it is merely a routine. For me, my usual is less though so I am really happy. :D Hahaha! Two more papers! You can do it!
Wow I just read my post. I do seem like an awfully happy person. Haha.
Okay, I wanted to say poem time but I need to bathe and get ready for Church now. Goodbye! (:

PART ONE IS OVER! :D I am extremely glad. Well, I shall now proceed to bore you with my mundane, or perhaps rather exciting life (to me at least). Haha, History has seriously been amazing. I would grow really fond of it and then hate it for being so darn challenging at times. After a while though, or in this case, a long while, (i.e. 2 years) I finally love it. And then it is over. Like, poof, with that hand action I like to do. Southeast Asian History and International History, my poor little smudged and severely abused notes have now lost their value in helping me in advancing in this education highway. Lol, what else do you call it.
YOU CAN DO IT! YOU CAN DO IT!
Well, anyway. We shall all enjoy this process of learning so we will do the best in our mission to attain the best results. Remember to enjoy it!
I will still miss my class ever so dearly. :D Hello, classmates! I recall the first time, when I saw the class at the Basketball Court last year. I was thinking, "What a bunch of weirdos.", because everyone was simply so different! And then there was all this drama. Was speaking to Rachel after dinner and yes, indeed, our class is so beautiful simply because of our diversity. I have NEVER met such a wide range of interesting people in my life, and I highly doubt I ever will again, at least not in another setting like this. Outspoken, artistic, quirky individuals, each with their own set of contrasting values, yet all with one common trait, which is care. Ahhh. :D

There is a motive behind every action, and that very motive is the key thing that spurs us to commit a certain action. Now, whether or not that motive has a good or bad agenda attached to it is what determines the outcome and response.
Let us say, what is my motive for running? An expected response from a person who is attempting to look good in front of others would say the benefits of losing weight. A health-conscious person would very well declare her motive as being healthy and because she loves the idea of being fit. Now, which one of them would generate a better outcome? Definitely, I would say the one with the "better" motive. The explanation would be that with a "better" motive or in this case, a propelling force in mind, the person would have more incentive to carry out the action that would generate an expected outcome.
NOT ALL motives would drive you on long enough for you to endure this imaginary path you are traversing. Do you have the right motive? Do you have the best motive?
What about other things, such as murder or rape. What is your motive behind that? I have this thing about me, where I would at times, whenever I am alone on the bus, look out there and pretend I am that young kid at the stop waiting for the bus. I would imagine myself to be young and just this wallpaper thing. And then at times I would, when I read about certain murders, place myself in the victims' shoes or the criminals' shoes. I used to imagine myself being tortured like the victim and I would cry for the victim. That was last time. Yeah, I am weird. Anyway, I can but only imagine and recreate that scenario in my mind. Is that really the thing that took place?
Every single human being has a different way or interpreting the SAME HISTORICAL event. No, it is not the story. I am speaking about the event. How we interpret it is our story. We all have stories. Stories. How reliable can these stories be then? They are most reliable to ourselves. I can have a story. He can have a story. We went through the same historical event but we have different stories. Shey may have been with say a friend, and we were happily laughing about lollipops, and say Shey's story would be that- Shey has found a new friend and they are getting closer. His story may be that he just had a silly day laughing about frivolous things. Well, this analogy is meant to sound a little ridiculous. I could very well have used a more solemn situation but this humour I have engaged merely belittles the value of stories.
That is why the true value of stories do not matter unless reciprocated. Do not magnify the value of stories (memories) unless you are sure it is worth the time at all. Take the safe route.
Of course, my post is about motives. My motive is to brainwash you, of course and to declare my view about the lack of value of "stories". Now, if a person were to psychoanalyze my post, I dare predict that the person would judge me as one who is attempting convincing herself to not care so as to protect herself. Also, what are the other motives? ;) Then again, there is irony because I just mentioned that stories are different in the eyes of everyone. The person may view it this way and it is correct in her eyes but how about mine? Therefore, our stories are as mentioned only most reliable to ourselves and hence worthless. Lol. This is so interesting. Hahaha.
