1 Litre of Tears

finally, i've managed to complete watching the whole series...
i've never cried so much over a drama before...
now i truly understand what people mean by
''crying so much that your eyes hurt''
your eyes really do hurt...
haha.. =P

but, it's really a great drama ne~
it's a drama that makes people reflect, and think..
somehow, i think i got some ''after thoughts'' from watching this drama..
because the characters are so real, so human..
just like anyone of us...
i guess maybe it's cox it's so realistic that it hurts..

why i would say that is because,
let's say,
for the female lead,
who suffered from spinocerebellar degeneration disease, she is so real because she is like anyone of us..
she thought of giving up..
she felt negative..
she thinks that everything is so unfair...
she finds no meaning in life...
she complained, ''why does it have to be me?''
she falls...
she minds what other people think...
she can't accept the truth...
she cries..

she only starts to appreciate what she has/used to have only when she suffered from the disease, and starts to lose basic human abilities one by one...
slowly, she starts to:
-lose the ability to balance herself
-lose the ability to run
-lose the ability to walk properly
-lose the ability to control her limbs
-lose the ability to swallow properly
-lose the ability to talk
-lose the ability to write

for her family,
her younger brother at one point, felt ashamed to have an ill elder sister like her..
her parents tried escaping from the truth by hiding her condition from her...

for her lovers,
the initial one is a male senior in her basketball team,
he minds her condition and didn't go to the date promised..
the male lead, he gave up easily just because the female lead wrote a letter to him to break up, and didn't meet her for 1 whole year...
(although in the end he really couldn't let her go and went back to her)

for her friends,
one of her best friends who always helped the female lead, eventually felt tired of helping her and broke down when being asked about how she felt...

for her classmates,
they couldn't stand the normal lessons being delayed because of the female lead eventually and although they pretend to be nice and acted as though everything is fine, but actually they didn't like the trouble...

All of these, are the not so nice, not so strong, not so positive side of human being...
but it is exactly these things that made the characters seem like humans...
it is exactly these things that made this drama so realistic..
because, reality hurts just cox the world's not perfect..
and the world's not perfect cox humans, living things, aren't perfect...

i guess, in life, we need such things, so that we would fall down...
and when we fall down, instead of looking down, crying, panicking,
maybe we should just try to look up at the sky..
the beautiful blue sky over our heads..
just like the female lead of this drama...

and maybe, just maybe, we should try to change our mindset..

instead of counting the number of things that you can't/can no longer do, why not start counting the number of things that you can/still can do?

well, i guess this drama is so real basically cox it's adapted from the journal of a girl in real life who suffered from the mentioned disease, from the time she had the disease, till the point in time when she died..
and, till now, the sad thing is, that disease, Spinocerebellar Degeneration Disease, still has no cure..
and this disease is happening to teenagers, possibly from as young as 12...


haix~
people, just before we enter 2009, maybe you can watch 1 Litre of Tears...
it might help you think through some stuff..
haha.. =P
yup yup..
anyways,
Happy New Year in advance everyone!!!!

*sometimes, when you fall, it takes 1 Litre of Tears to stand up and smile again*

we sat there and talked for a while..

then after that that, we MRT-ed to Harbourfront..

cox it's Ming Ming(my cousin)'s birthday..
gotta go celebrate at night..
well, then we went to Harbourfront shopping centre to walk around..
and i intro Shobana to surroundings..
then went to guardian where i bought sore throat sweets..
my throat is getting dry..
Shobana bought water cox she didn't fill her own water bottle..
then we went to purpur and looked around..
Esther bought a shirt/blouse??
yeap..
and then we brought Shobana to the shop...
it was jam-packed with customers..
and the stock-man was doing stocks..
so Shobana clocked in and i intro her to the stocks,
like where is this model etc etc etc..
and then Esther, Cherie and i stayed at the shop for a while..
acting as customers..
haix..
hopefully Shobana is alright working there..
worried desu.. ><

Hmmm.. then we decided not to disturb Shobana,
so we went to Vivo..
went to Daiso to buy wrapping materials for Ming Ming's birthday present..
then went to Action City and Candy Empire to buy her present..
Vivo is bloody jam-packed...
hates crowded places.. =_=
then went back up to Daiso to look for Esther and Cherie..
waited outside with Cherie while Esther pay up..
sat down on the floor and hobo-ly try to wrap the presents up..
first by tying the ribbon around the chocolate..
it was a dai struggle for me ne~
then put it in the ''drawstring bag'' thingy..
then put inside paper bag..
haha.. =P
hope that' it's presentable.. ~_~
well, then went to Arts and Craft shop and bought a card..

haha.. =P

well, then went to Clementi with Cherie to fetch our NEWS's color albums..

19/12/2008

Whoo~
today meet Shobana at Bugis MRT station to go breakfast at mac...
saw baka #1 there..
LOL
then Shobana wasted food!!!
cox she lost appetite after seeing the nutritional information on the tray of Mac..
cox for Big Breakfast, which we ate, it contains 3-digit amount of cholestrol..
Shobana is uper health conscious..
like Chang Min.. haha.. =P
well, i guess she's worried that it's bad for health..

Hmm.. then we went to do the UV ray therapy thing before work..
had another Japanese lesson!
is fun! =D
looks forward to the next one!

Then we took MRT to Raffles Place..
and we worked together..
somehow, my Raffles Supervisor is kinda irritating and fierce..
Shobana was saying that her supervisor is better..
actually, frankly speaking,
i enjoy working at Harbourfront Branch more than Raffles..
cox it's more fun..
but the timing is not as stable as Raffles..
customer comes impromptu-ly..
unlike Raffles, peak-hour is only 12 to 2.30 and 6 to 7.30..
yeap..
haha.. =P

Hmmm..
bus-ed home with Shobana on bus no. 196..
talked about O level results..
is worried.. ~_~
although it doesn't help..
because the results will stay the same..
argh...
=_=
18/12/2008

today was uper fun!
well, woke up early morning to go pray at the guan yin temple with ye ye...
he told me to pray for good results..
initially didn't want to..
cox i dun thing i should be asking for stuff..
like i never regularly pray..
feels bad..
kinda..
but he say ask for good results..
then get le go back and pray again...
as thanking..
so just asked lor..

well, then bus-ed home...
used comp..
and it lags again..
crap.. =_=
well, then went to draw money..
it's depleting..
sian..
=_=

then went to meet Shobana at commonwealth MRT station...
we packed LSJ to her house for lunch..
and we Dong Bang-ed!!!
Chang Min is the best, Shobana. XD
He's so cute!!!
hmmm.. then we went to bugis..
cox Shobana told me that her mum found some UV ray therapy centre..
1st 15 times free..
the consultants say it helps get rid of water retention..
which i think is true..
cox you actually put your feet on the ''weighing-scale-lookalike'' board..
which gives off heat..
it feels a bit like cooking my feet..
haha.. =P

but the fun thing is,
other than doing the heat therapy, at the same time,
Shobana is giving me Japanese lessons!!! =D
i think i'm slowly picking up..
but i still suck..
demo, i know 1 to 10 now, at least..
and i can say the time in Japanese le..
haha.. =P

then after that Shobana and i went to Bugis Junction to gai gai..
and we saw the crystal X'mas tree..
it's beautiful..
so we took pictures.. =D
Hmmm.. then we went to the Jap sweet shop at basement 1..
cox they sell DBSK's cards..
the kind that you put in your wallet..
bought 4 Chang Min cards for myself..
and 1 Jae Joong one for Esther..
and then ah ma called and scolded me over the phone..
cox i told her i should be going home about 6-plus..
but when she called, it was already 7-plus..
><
then walked with Shobana to MRT station..
then went out via the other exit and walked at my speed-up pace to ah ma's house..
well, in the end, i kinda explained my way through to ah ma..
and she wasn't angry anymore..
hee.. =D

12/16/08

hihi..
oyahasuyominasai(good morning-night)...

well, today, injured myself at work..
minor cut only la.. haha.. =P
but i think i had a small shock after kena-ing the injury..
cox i was climbing shelves to get the shoe that my customer wants to try..
then like i climbing down that time, at the last deck before i reach the ground, i always just jump down..
cox it's only about pelvic bone level height..
then this time, very unluckily, i was holding on to the shoebox on my right hand..
and i forgot to keep my right hand close to my body..
and my elbow just ''bam'' onto the metal shelf..
then the metal shelf got small gaps between each strip of metal..
that's how i got the cut..
then i didn't felt any pain initially..
i just felt shocked..
maybe because it was so sudden..
and maybe because my hand felt strange..
then i like i was a little worried that i'll kena a fracture/some crushing stuff..
then i made use of the time when my customer is busy trying the shoes to check my hand..
i touched my funny bone, and i didn't had the ''weakening/strange'' feeling that's supposed to go through you arm when someone touch/hit your funny bone..
then i was thinking ''oh gosh''
and was a bit panicking..
then after that, my ears became muffled..
and i felt that i'm having cold sweat..
i was like, crap.. what's this..
then i thought of shock(as in the medical condition)..
then i took a few deep breaths and tried calming myself down..
and i continued serving my customer..
then i was like trying to make my ears ''un-muffle''
then finally finished serving the customer after she paid and left the shop..
then i immediately went to toilet to wash my wound..
and bought plasters from guardian next door...
then my ears finally ''un-muffled''
thank god man..
then my hand didn't feel so strange anymore..
then comes the pain, which sets in after i relaxed and was taking out the display sets for the ''new arrival'' shoes..

well, it' nothing much la actually..
i think the wound dry le..
and then, i'll live..
haha.. =P
well, that covered a part of my working life today..

oh ya, and baka #1 tagged me a rather funny quiz to do..
did it in the previous post..
and i think the ''end-product'' of the quiz is kinda really ROFL...
haha.. =P

hmmm.. another thing is,
today ah gong sms-ed..
cox i wrote in the email for them to reply me if they received the platoon photo..
then ah gong complained that the photos very blur...
what to do... phone camera ma..
lol..
(note: ah gong=platoon 4'07 commander, Mr. Yam Kah Meng)
he's called ah gong basically cox almost ALL the ANCO'07 trainees thought that he's some 30+ officer last year when we had camp..
but in actual fact, he's same age as my sis..
18 years old only..
maybe chao lao(old looking).. haha.. =P jkjk...

wells, that's bout it then..
going to ah ma's house to stay for a few days starting tomorrow..
dunno if shu shu will let me use comp or not..

Had a fun day with ppl from my intake..
somehow..
then like i wear ''formal'' home clothes instead of full U..
cox i really don't have the time to polish boots...
and if i don't polish, i feel that i am totally NOT leading by example..
so decided to borrow formal clothes from my cousins..
and everything is oversized..
sians.. =_=
oh ya, took a Platoon 4 '07 photo..
although only half the platoon was there..
here it is...


Platoon 4'07 ''formal'' shot


Platoon 4'07 ''informal'' shot
Well, erm, actually, after taking this photo, it kinda makes me feel sad..
why??
well,
somehow i think,we lost the bonds as platoon mates le...
like, somehow, i feel that the taking of this picture is really awkward...
like, it's just a GROUP photo, instead of a PLATOON photo...
i'm NOT being obssessive here...
neither am i trying to ask anything..
it's just that, even with the ''revival'' of the bam bam warriors pose...
it just feels so different le...
the contrast is so vast compared to the photo that we took last year...
i dunno..
it makes me feel sad because it made me realised that everything has changed..
and that it's going to continue changing...
and the changes... well, not all of them are nice/good etc...
i dunno..
guess i'll just have to adapt to it then...
haix..
went to work after Zone Presentation...
walked with Cheryl to the side of the bus-stop with bus 64 and 65...
talked a bit..
then i realised that Cheryl gives me a feeling that she's insecured..
like somehow, she has the mindset that things will change..
and that she'll lose the things/people precious to her easily/anytime...
and then i realised that i myself also...
have the same tendancy to think that way???
i dunno...
wells, i sure hope that my negative thoughts won't kill me...
it's really heart-wrenching sometimes...
to see things develope to an undesirable state..
yet, at the same time, i'm unable to do anything...
i hate that helpless and ''i'm so useless'' kinda feeling...
it sucks, big time..
like how i sucked at the game of ''reversi''...
haix...
sorry for this kinda stupid post..
but, just felt like saying it out...
before i burst like a balloon...
or water bomb..
or whatever...
wells, that's all then..
JA~
*heart-wrenching*

hihi
konbawa(good evening)...

hmmm...
is heartbrokens...
ChangMin~
well...
ChangMin has been attacked by a China women...
the rough incident is that 2 China women followed the DBSK members into a public male toilet/bathroom...
then like, they were taking pictures of DBSK..
and, it's like ChangMin told them to go away or something...
cox it's like,
1.NOBODY would want their photos taken in that kinda place by someone else
2.it's not right for women to enter public male toilet/bathroom...
right??
then the 2 women suddenly go crazy and shouted stuff like asking ChangMin to go die, and cursed that DBSK will die horribly...
and that's not the worst..
after that, they kicked DBSK's van..
and they attacked ChangMin with a handbag..
and as everyone knows, handbags have a dense base..
and the base hit ChangMin's head....
sobs~ =(=(=(=(
half of me died...
and, what's worse was that one of the women went online and lied, saying that ChangMin hit the other women.. and then she even claimed that the other women was pregnant...
which is found out that it's ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE!!!!
how could she lie like that!!!!!
it's so horrible of her..
even if ChangMin isn't a celebrity,
it's so NOT morally upright of her to wrong him!!!!
is angry!!!
i got to know all these cox Shobana told me today morning(midnight, actually)...
is uper sad bout it..
poor Changmin~~~~~~~
=((
bet he's emotionally and physically hurt right now...
=(

hihi..
konichiwa(good afternoon)..

hmmm...
today, had a nice talk with Cheryl. over msn...
realised a lot of things.. pleasant and unpleasant..
SJ-related and non-SJ-related...

one of the things that i realised is that,
for the past one week, i've been slogging away meaninglessly..
i've been working...
and i've not been able to meet up/talk to friends much..
like not as much as last time...
i think i've been neglecting my friends a lot..
then, i remembered a scene from Proposal Daisakusen...
the characters are a group of friends of 3 guys and 2 girls...
they're friends since their high school time..
then they went to the same university also..
after graduating from university,
they realised that they have less and less time for one another..
because of work, family etc..
somehow, it makes me feel sad..
and it makes me feel bad also..
minna, hontoni gomenasai..
sorry that i haven't been able to sepnd time with you all..
hmmm..
somehow, i'm missing school days right now..
like not too long ago, we could see one another every weekday..
but right now..
haix...
we're gonna have an ATC camp soon..
i was wondering, a few years down the road, how many people from my batch would be coming back for the ATCs...
it feels sad somehow..
right now, what i feel is that,
i don't wanna grow up..
i guess i'm being silly now..
i gotta accept it no matter what..
but i seriously don't wanna grow up..
it's too painful..
haha.. =P
haix..
sudden emoness...
sorry..
hai..

i truly hope that i'll be able to spend more time with my friends..
TOMO~...
hai...
ne, from now onwards,
yoroshiku onegaishimasu~

FLY AGAIN~NEWS
作詞:Azuki

いつもの帰り道を ひとり歩き想うよ
itsumo no kaeri michi o hitori aruki omou yo
I think of it when I walk alone down my usual way back home
夢に近づけているかな?
yume ni chikazuketeiru kana?
Am I getting closer to my dreams?

全てはうまくいかない そんなの分かっているけど
subete wa umakuikanai sonna no wakatteiru kedo
Everything doesn't go well, I always know that but
悩みは消えないね
nayami wa kienai ne
The worries don't disappear

誰もが未来に不安抱え 押し寄せてくる時間に追われ
daremo ga mirai ni fuan kakae oshiyosetekuru toki ni oware
Poor and rich alike both hold anxiety for the future and are chased by the advancing time
叶うかわからない夢 あきらめそうになったとき
kanauka wakaranai yumi akiramesou ni natta toki
A dream that you don't know if it'll come true, when you become like you seem you'll give up

果てしない空を見上げて 両手を広げ叫ぶんだ
hateshinai sora o miagete ryote wo hiroge sakebun da
Look up at the endless sky, spread out both hands and shout out
まだ消えない 想いを胸に
mada kenai omoi o mune ni
Your yet-to-disappear feelings in your heart
確実に踏み出せば いつか FLY AGAIN
kakujitsu ni fumidaseba itsuka FLY AGAIN
Certainly if you step forward, someday you'll fly again

やりたいことがあったら 迷わずに進めとか
yaritai koto ga attara mayowazu ni susumetoka
If there's something you want to do, without hesitation go for it
そんなこと分かっているさ
sonna koto wakatteiru sa
That kind of thing I understand

あの日かわした約束 今でも覚えているなら
ano hi kawashita yakusoku ima demo oboeteiru nara
That promise we made that day, if you still remember it right now
声 聞かせてほしい
koe kikasetehoshii
Then I want to hear you voice

見えない大きいな不安を抱え また迫りくる何かに追われ
mienai ooki na fuan wo kakae mata semarikuru nanika ni oware
Holding onto an invisible big anxiety, and again chased by something that draws near
叶うかわからない夢 あきらめそうになったとき
kanauka wakaranai yumi akiramesou ni natta toki

Certainly if you step forward, someday you'll fly again

そうさ何が起こっても 君がまた飛びたつこと
sousa nani ga okottemo kimi ga mata tobitatsu koto
That's right, even if something happens, you can take off again
信じ歌い続けるから
shinjiutaitsuzukeru kara
Because I continue singing believing that
だから何が起こっても 涙にくれる日々があっても

Therefore if something were to happen, or there are days that end in tears
両手広げ明日へ FLY AGAIN

Spread open both hands and fly again into tomorrow
