When The Children Cry

Now that it is that time of the year.. mid-exam results for the children to face and accept.
I guess that there will be some who cry , some who sing and celebrate.
Quite a nice song, perhaps i should consider this one of my choices for my guitar lessons.

Dive into the World of Dreams n Love

The Purpose of Life is Joy.
The Basis of Life is Freedom.
The Way of Life is Expansion.

This was what my guru friend, Eug shared with me one fine day when I was encroached in the cave of self-pity and despair. I still remember it vividly as a constant reminder for my daily work n challenges ahead.

Just a couple of days ago, last Saturday evening,
due to my mis-management of time yet again and God's will for me to rekindle my interest in work?, we missed out watching the comedy,
Ramen Girl and ended up watching this inspiring Jap movie " Dive" instead since we were meeting at Cineleisure Orchard for dinner anyway.

My rating of the show is 3-4 Stars of 5.. haha..due to the eye-candy..those cute young boys with their impressive dives..haha.. It also struck a chord in me as some of their training scenes just reminded me of those good old db training n gym time @ ntu.. Ironically, i do miss those disciplined n stringent training days..

Some information of the movie! Dive!
Adapted from: http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117937369.html?categoryid=31&cs=1
A trio of Japanese teenagers get their shot at Olympic glory in "Dive!!," an earnest, overlong sports meller that nonetheless earns high marks for its sharp lensing of young divers in action, as well as the gratifying degree of sympathy helmer Naoto Kumazawa extends to each of the three contenders. Shrewdly positioned to capitalize on pre-Summer Olympics mania upon its June 14 local release, this sometimes awkward but affectingly sentimental item could find its niche, though casual (if strictly platonic) rear nudity could hold back the younger auds toward which the film is otherwise geared.
Adapted by Masashi Todayama and Tamio Hayashi from a novel by Eto Mori, "Dive!!" kicks off, in classic (or cliche) sports-movie fashion, with the Mizuki Diving Club in dire financial straits. Enter the beautiful Coach Asaki (Asaka Seto), who's determined to whip her young charges into shape and possibly yield a champ who can represent Japan at the upcoming Olympic Games in Beijing -- and, perhaps, save MDC from imminent closure.

What a Labour Day!!!

This year' labour day was such a day of coincidence..
What do I mean? Coincidence as in the chance of bumping into people I know...
new or old friendship..in my Earthing days....All in all, 4 different people from interestingly
the various aspect of my life...My boss, my ex-head, my JOH travelmate & a little angelic princess from my unit...All these happened in a day itself being the day i met up w my buddy cousin since the last time we met up for shopping and show.

Initially, my idea of labour day is indeed a day of true blue labour..work..work..work..clearing and conquering Mount Essay and mind-boggling HRCs. Quite a negative n lousy feeling of overwhelming work even on a supposedly public holiday. Yet, thanks to my guru frenz, eug, once again my mood had been lifted as i acquire the art of pretending to be happy w this ton of work to alleviate my low mood.. Haha..interestingly, it works! I was just as amazed by it and this simply reminded me of those childhood days of pretense games n roleplaying as various occupations..Perhaps such act stirred up the childlike soul in me and triggered the button to happiness is the key to all!

With this in mind, my 2nd half of the labour day became so much more enjoyable as the drama of coincidence began to unfold itself. First, the movie 17 again was my aim but due to tixs being sold out, cousin n i changed our plan n decided to do retail therapy instead. Then we proceed to Raffles City on foot to squeeze out some exercising time..after a little sweetie treat @ Ben &Jerry. Along the way, we passed by SAM and decided to go in n take a look @ the art exhibition etc as free admission anyway..so why not? This is the place where I first saw my little princess n her queen walking towards us from abt 30m away. I was perplexed..gosh..imagine meeting her at such private time w my cousin. let alone gg into SAM to view exhibits along w them.. I swerved to a corner as fast as I could n avoided them as if they were swine flu carriers.
My cousin was shocked n later amused by me..haha..

To be continued... gtg last min...
