To sum it up in a few words; the Youth for Community Activism Symposium 08 was a 3-day symposium dealing with the different SLs to formulate solutions regarding certain community problems faced by the different sectors. So yeah through the three days learnt about youth activism, heard speeches by MPs and got to know many amazing people (: Photo spammage ahead -kudos to Huishan and Xiner (thanks!) :D

Also, on a more random note. I'm sure alot of y'all get bored at home sitting around doing nothing but watch TV or whatnot, so do take time to check out Freerice.com.



To those who haven't heard about freerice.com, its basically a vocabulary game where you choose a synonym to a word and for each question you get correct, freerice.com will donate 20 grains of rice through the UN World Food Program to help end hunger. Guess it falls back to the fact that each and every one of us can make a difference, whether you're talking about 20 grains or a 1000. So yep please spare some time to help with this cause (and not leave your brain to rot away during the June holidays!)

Just to sum it all up, take care one and all as I will only be back on the 15th, away to Europe on my wonderful dessert fest and French cuisine (: Enjoy the rest of the holidays.

Okay yes so its supposed to be the holidays but I'm pretty much stuck on the same junk just with double the time. Stuck on Secondhand Serenade after Claire and Celest shared of their existence, watched tons of movies. Preparing for my trip to Europe and learning that I have to say this line - "Désoléz, je ne parle pas française. Parle vous anglais?" - as a first-liner in Paris and many other random short french phrases courtesy of Paul through the weekend was just about the only fulfilling thing I have done through the holidays. So much for that, I seriously need to get myself out of bed and actually do something before school starts.



Random photos when I finally got bored and decided to stare straight up at the pretty sky.

Away, away and away.
Away for three days.

And to you, thank you for today <3

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - A Return To Love, Marianne Williamson

If this
Is how you want to forget
The sigh of the broken moon
When its fallen star
Landed in the sea
Of silver storms then
I will choose to sail
With those little boats
Towards the silent isles
Of memories without you where
They wait for me.

Mak: This country no good. People no good. When I sell food, I wear badge. Smile. I smile. I go Woodbridge. Got poster. Smile. I smile. I see Woodbridge doctor. He say how many percent become better, how many percent don't become better. He smile. I smile. I see social worker. She say how many percent must take medicine for few months, how many percent must take always. If daughter mad, how many percent mother also mad. She smile. I smile. I go home, I see the mirror. I smile. I cannot laugh. I cannot cry. Because I only know how to smile. I only know how to smile.
