Its funny how friends can just leave you when you are down,its funny how when you need someone they are never around. Its funny how hello always ends with a goodbye,its funny how good memories can start to make you cry.
      I like to pretend that everything's alright. Because when everybody else thinks I am fine, sometimes I forget for a while that I am not.
Not all scars shows. Not all wounds heal. Sometimes people can't see, the pain you feel.              
     Being sad with the right people is better than being happy with the wrong ones. We must always beware. Always the ones that make you smile are the  ones that can tear your heart asunder. 
      To be abandoned by the ones that gave you breath. To be abandoned by those that should care. What is left is nothing but bitter hate, topped with fear that leaves you crying on your bed. To say that I have lost faith is a lie. Who dare say that they like being alone. Everyone hopes for something. Something to work towards to. My hope is just to find the people that I care for and people that care. Every time I get my hopes high, I find myself lost. Even though its seems impossible , i can't find it in myself to let go. To make a friend finally understand. Why is it that hard? All I want to is to be needed

Celebrating Chinese New Year is a tradition passed down from Chinese since ancient times. For many Chinese ,  it has already become a part of their annual schedule. At this time of the year, the festive spirits are high and we all look forward to the day when we see our relatives. Families start preparing for the event up to 3 weeks before the event. They buy drinks and snacks to present to the guests when they come over to wish them a good year. We also buy new clothes to wear on Chinese New Year's day. I usually purchase two sets of clothes. One for the first day and one for the second. When choosing my clothes, i usually look out for the price ,design and usability. I will want it to be suitable for wearing even after the event.
 
 The day before the event, we would sit together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. This would usually be a hotpot. On the day itself, we visit our relative's houses to wish them a good year ahead. We would then exchange mandarin oranges and then settle down for a few rounds of card games like Blackjack. We would chat with each other and find out whats going on. This year, after visiting my relatives, i will also be visiting my friend's house. Since this is the first year i am visiting him during New Years , I am a little nervous but i am sure it will all turn out well. Even though i am looking forward to the event, i am worried that i may put on weight. It is hard to resist the temptation from the festive snacks after all. I wish anyone reading this a happy and prosperous new year!

Sports plays an important role in keeping ourselves fit. To be able to enjoy ourselves when we are exercising is vital as it keeps us motivated to continue. When we are fit, we are naturally healthy and happy too. However, not all people have the time and interest to commit themselves to keeping fit. To cultivate an interest in such activities, schools have sport CCAs such as floorball and badminton. Physical Education is also part of our curriculum. I think it is a wonderful idea to integrate physical education into part of our studies. The information we gain from it can be applied for a lifetime unlike other subjects. It also allows students to de-stress and spend time together with their peers. What is money if you don't have health?
Today we had PE in school. Since there is a physical test coming soon, we are doing the various stations. This week we did high jump. I thoroughly enjoyed myself today. It was the first time I was high jumping so I was unsure as to what to do . I had seen people doing it before but I still had my doubts about actually performing it. But, the detailed explanation and demonstration given by the teacher cleared my doubts. I managed to clear the first height and moved on to the second round but as it got higher, it became very tedious and i couldn't pass. Only 3 people passed the second round. One of which i was very impressed by. Him of all people. I was very happy for him though. I am looking forward to next week's lesson. I am sure I'll have a fun time again.

Today was overwhelming. I questioned one of my friendship today. It was eventually resolved. But to me, this was a important learning point. Its is not easy to manage one's relations. To be able to built a solid foundation in a relationship is tough. To be able to maintain it is tougher. To me, maintaining a relationship is not about difficult calculations. To me, it is simply being able to take things in stride and understanding each other. Sometimes we think that we are right. But, if you are willing enough to look from a different point of view, you will realize that there are many ends to a problem. Not just the one in front of your eyes. I highly regard my relationships. I don't think that I can survive without someone beside me to lean on. Without someone to support, I can't really see what more reason there is to live.
Sometimes, if we are wrong, it is better to put our pride aside and apologize. Also, we should get a clearer picture of the situation before putting the blame. A relationship last for a lifetime. What for have pride when you lose the people you treasure so much. To the people i treasure : " I'm sorry if I get angry. But I want you to know that its because I care"

I have always enjoyed playing role-playing games. When I am playing these games, I feel that I can fully immerse myself in the stories. The way that people make these games are just amazing. The effort the put into the story and soundtracks really pays off. One of the more famous rpg games is the Final Fantasy series. I have been a big fan of this series for as long as I can remember. The sense of nostalgia I feel as I play a new series is well worth the money. I remember how i use to look at my mother play Final fantasy VIII during primary school on the Playstation 1. The series has come a long way since then. Now, theres already Final fantasy 14. Recently i bought the thirteenth installment of the series. The game has really changed since then. The company that used make this game was Squaresoft. Now, SquareEnix is in charge. The change in the production team has brought about changes in the game. The graphics now is just mind blowing. The OSTs are as enchanting as ever. The storyline though, has became rather short. I would rather they put the effort that they put into the graphics into the storyline. I really miss the times when i would spent hours perfecting my game. It was announced yesterday that they would be making Final fantasy XIII-2, a sequel . I am looking forward to the game and the aftermath of the heroes' actions. Its coming out next year so I suppose for now theres only waiting. But i know that the game will be worthy of the wait!
