Thats another thing i can tick off my new year resolution.
So this is a story of my 18th birthday, where I was surprised when I thought I could never be.
So it was 12.00am and all the wishes started pouring in, except from a few special people. I replied as many as I could personally, but sleepliness got me and I went to bed. Woke up and checked sms, still got none, did tutorials, went for lesson, STILL NONE!
Note that I brought an extra shirt for cake face etc... I went to dance for fund, NONE, they dun wish me, dun talk nth. Like they couldnt be bothered, but then i thought i remember rachel running over to block the view of the room when i walked pass on monday, and i saw that starbucks bag, where is my tumbler? I stayed for as long as i could, but seems like whatever it was, it wasnt for me, i went for a MEETING, yes on my birthday.
Sit there stonned, thinking about what i did to upset those dear to me, i hardly heard what was going on due to some, decisions. Clarence asked me if i was alright, but i lied and said i was okay, i couldnt wait to just go home and just lie down.
I got home, I thought even further i really couldnt think of anything. Mentally drained, i decided that it was the worst 18th i had and just went to bed...
Sleeps clears many thing, i was just okay with the fact that my 18th sucked w/e. Went for lecture, left lecture and woah, no 1 forgot me,there was 18 small cakes awaiting me and hahah what i needed most now, a frying pan :D my classmates didnt forget me!Yes Melvin i was disturbed when u and peh yu wasnt the first few to wish me when we are all online on msn!!!
I dreaded going to the BBQ, cause u know ya i thought they are upset with me so i didnt want to show my face and make things worse, but my as landed up there, and towards the end, haha i remember, Benson with his signature cheeky smile saying,
'Leon you think we forget right!' It was a tumbler alright, BUT hahaha i will be always reminded of this instance,cause its this design your own tumbler thingy, and there is a group photo of imBAStards in it :D cute right, now i am bring them to all my lecture, tutorials, everywhere!!! :D
In case you were lazy and only read the last part, this bithday was so awesome because, when i thought that i wounlnt be surprised one bit, my friends, by some randomness with no coordination pull the same thing on me, and thus gave me one of the MOST PLEASANT suprises. See the power of MORE THAN ONE! Leon gets owned on his 1th birthday, FLAT, by people he loves, and cause of this, he loves them even more :)

Making it big
What does it takes for you to turn that thought in your head into action?
An experience? Inspiration? or just that moment of rush?
You see, in my school, there are people who really are doing something with their lives-doing things to their potential, and there are people who just want to get by and get things over and done with.
When you were young, you want to do everything, but you dont have the ability to because your body is limited as it is still growing. When you grow up, your body is ready, but your mind is already too lazy to do anything. You go like : aiya next time la, now still young how to accomplish anything?! few more years, my time will come. You keep saying that until you are in your deathbed : maybe I'm not supposed to do anything big, thats not god's plan for me.
Talent, Do you need to be born with it?
Yes, I'll admit once in a while you see in the news a genius who can play instruemtns, solve some question at unbelieveable age. But please see again, if you were to follow their lives, did they make it big? They are just another one hit wonder. Ever wonder why some artists stay around for long while some die off after awhile. Its either their publicist really did a good job or else they simply just had passion for what they are doing. So how big a part does talent play in this? I would dare say minor.
School is starting for many people, in poly its a new chapter for everyone else, freshmens, graduates, those graduating and those in their 2nd year. No matter your past, I hope you start this new semester with a good mindset. Keep that passion burning!

Balance
Well, something really struck me this morning, when i was just thinking about things. See, people always ask, why cant the world be simple? why cant it just be perfect? make things a little easier, we would have a better life.
let me start you with a thought, imagine that u can code your DNA, remove all your 'defects' before u are borned, u will be destined for success, you will me smart, beautiful, perfect. Then think again, if there are no children borned with life changing defects, where would symphaty, inspiration and many more come from?
So we get the idea, maybe it isnt really a good thing that every one has it easy, but still its unfair some people make it big in life, they get the good stuff, money, fame, why not me?
Well then, before you complain any further, can you be sure that u are ready for all that success? Lets say if this is all a game, and i am the game master, u question my fairness, and i will just and you 'success' trust me, if u cant handle it, it will just flow right through your hands.
I feel just feel that, the world works in a balanced way, like how gamers like their games to be 'balance' to be fair to everyone, and only people who have what it takes can get more out of it. Some examples, to have a great amount of love, you have to be able to handle great amount of pain, fame with shame. You get the idea.
So next time, dont give excuses when u cannot bear the equal and opposite effects of what u want. the world is more or less fair in most, if not all ways you dont have to be a grand parent to realize this if this random 18 year old can.
just my 2 cents, dont be offended :)
