The early bird catches the worm; a stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we haven't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to ‘seize the day'.
Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying.
I'm just a girl

The last one month has been the toughest in her life.. this 21 years old girl is a full-time student and full-time worker.. this impossible lifestyle soon drives her crazy.. it seems like everyone expects more and more from her..
her colleagues expect her to be all professional and sophisticated.. she's not.. she's just a girl..
her groupmates expect her to be all reliable and FREE.. while she doesn't even have enough time for herself
her boyfriend expects her to be happy... she's not.. for without him.. what is happiness
and as if it is not enough, her landlord, teachers, they all make her life even harder..
what's a girl to do.. she's only 21.. and the world has fallen on her shoulder..
that poor girl is me.. it seems like I have everything.. and yet I feel empty.. My life is just range of deadlines.. my mind is full of these things that I have to accomplish.. to meet everyone's expectation. I'm tired.. I want to quit..
However, my boyfriend never failed to remind me of how lucky I am.. to have all this.. people waited their whole life to get their dream job.. while I got it rather quickly and almost hassle free. I have been blessed.. and I should be grateful..
I just hope that I can cope with all the pressures around me..

Like a star
Just like a star across my skyJust like an angel of the page
You have appeared to my life
Feel like I'll never be the same
Just like a song in my heart
Just like oil on my hands
Only to love you
Still I wonder why it is
I don't argue like this
With anyone but you
You do it all the time
Blowing out my mind
You've got this look I can't describe
You make me feel I'm alive
When everything else is a fake
Without a doubt you're by my side
Heaven has been way too long
Can't find the words to write this song
Oh love
I have come to understand the way it is
Its not a secret anymore
Cos we've been through that before
From tonight I know that you're the only one
I've been confused and in the dark
Now I understand..
I wonder why it is
I don't argue like this
With anyone but you
I wonder why it is I won't let my guard down
For anyone but you
You do it all the time
Blowing out my mind
Just like a star across my sky
Just like an angel of the page
You have appeared to my life
Feel like I'll never be the same

Today
It's been a while since I wrote my last blog. Partly because I don't have any inspiration of what to write / publish, partly because I'm afraid of people's judgement.. what if I write sth very stupid, or worse, boring? I also think lately that I have become more and more introvert.. I keep everything to myself. Experience so precious that I'd like to keep for myself, and everything ordinary would be too chessy to write here.Then what is left to say here? Nothing else..
But this morning after I read some of my closest friends' blog, I suddenly feel the urge to write again.. Just some quick update of what I've been doing lately.. nothing much actually.. school stuff and work.. that's it.. that's what I do everyday. I'm not gonna blather in much details about these stuff cause if I do, I'll get tired of it myself..
Just before I go, I'll leave some thought:
EAT, DRINK, and BE MERRY, for TOMORROW we die..
Make the most of opportunities because life is short and time is fleeting.
PS: and top of the reason why I don't like blogging is that I don't have sophisticated IT skills, my blog is just plain boring.. but now I realized that nobody cares. It's MY BLOG.. and I can do whatever the hell I want with it. Love it or leave it
