    <content type="html">Had been pretty emo and pessimistic this few days which is really odd. Well, it's really a struggle inside me. Sigh, i guess it's not only for just a reason or 2 but many more reasons that leads it to this state. Hmm, I'm really lazy to blog especially without pictures. ): I took many in my phone but i'm so lazy to download th software and upload all th pictures into th computer. All th pictures here are from th internet and from liqi. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*I want a camera &amp;amp; wii sports. That's th two things in my must have list for now.* &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, i don't know exactly where to start from but i'll just jolly well say out what i remember. heh. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/0004ez7q/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" width="170" height="240" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/0004ez7q/s320x240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sunday&lt;/strong&gt;, played wii sports with my cousins for 3 hours long non stop.&lt;span class="entry-content"&gt; Lactic acid formed and yesterday i had a major bad pain on my arms. Major suckfest seriously. But my sunday officially rocks. ILML totally. :DD &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/0004a5rg/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" width="159" height="240" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/0004a5rg/s320x240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yesterday(Monday),&lt;/strong&gt; decided to start my foodhunt for vegan/vegetarian organic or non organic food. Eva text me that she wanted to tag along with me earlier on after i posted out here that i wanted to have a foodhunt all by myself since everyone seemed really busy nowadays. I'm glad she did cos' we definitely had a great fantabulous time ystd searching for livingreens caf&amp;eacute;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/0004dct4/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" width="319" height="240" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/0004dct4/s320x240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Anyways, thanks bishan for guiding me on th way through th phone while we hunted and walked to find th vegan cafe. Actually, we wanted to try th organic udon and juices at tracy's which was located at fortune centre but th udon was sold out and we decided to head to livingreens since we're at bugis! We walked from jil pasang to raffles hospital to arab street and past by many interesting shop houses(oldies) walked for many miles away from bugis junction, asked around where concourse shopping mall is, crossed many traffic lights, walked till my leg aches so much and finally found livingreens @ 325 beach road! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/0004bth8/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" width="190" height="126" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/0004bth8" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The brown rice set (yums!) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/0004c5qd/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" width="240" height="180" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/0004c5qd" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;amp; my fav shepherds pie which i didn't buy it ystd. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We tried their organic rbc juice(beetroot), tomato spaghetti, brown rice set which comes with soup and their tofu salad. (everything sold @ livingreens caf&amp;eacute; are all vegan organic) I wanted to eat my fav shepherds pie but i didn't want to spend so much. So i shall wait for my next visit and eat it. (: Bought th sunflower organic cold pressed oil there too. Well, th price was so affordable despite it being organic and vegan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We walked back and headed to a korean supermart and walked back to bugis junction. Decided to give th movie a miss and shopped at cine and a new shopping mall that's opened in orchard which i forgot th name of it. haha! My shopping drive rised and i crazily bought many tees. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had a sudden mad ruch with tees ystd. :B &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My buys ystd: Stitch shop @ cine (a grey sunday tee &amp;amp; a black monday tee), 2 shirts(a lightning bolt tee and a random black tee with prints) from cine basement, ribbons shop(a teardrop girl white tanktop) &amp;amp; yellow nail polish from thfaceshop.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EMO NEMO.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday night was pretty emo. Talked it out to sissy and even made her sleep late. sorry but thanks alot! I luv sissy! She's th best person to talk to about things i'll never ever share it with others cos' no one ever understands. I'm still healing my wound and questioning daily. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a sour feeling but it takes time to go away... And i ask sissy what does Absence makes th heart grow fonder means. Well, in my opinion, i agree with this statement 50%. I agree with what sissy's view. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She said,'' i agree that absence makes th heart grow fonder but after a long period of time, it's out of sight, out of mind.'' Yes, this is th right answer in my view. For some, many say is out of sight, out of mind. There's never absence makes th heart grow fonder. Well, then i think you're someone which is cold blooded, with no feelings and no thoughts of missing someone. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YOU OFFICIALLY SUCK IF U DON'T AGREE WITH THIS STATEMENT TO A CERTAIN EXTENT. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just a recap on th first time i visited livingreens.. let th pictures flow (: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/0004fga5/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" width="320" height="240" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/0004fga5/s320x240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/00036k3b/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" width="320" height="240" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/00036k3b/s320x240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/0004g36x/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" width="320" height="240" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/0004g36x/s320x240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/0004hs5f/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" width="320" height="240" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/0004hs5f/s320x240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) As th day goes by, results day are nearing...

I've made up my mind since everyone's so busy, i shall break my inner fear and just go on an adventure hunt for delicious food all by myself and enjoy it all i want.*&lt;br /&gt;Na&amp;iuml;ve is one of th restaurants in my top list! (:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Na&amp;iuml;ve&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;99, East coast Road&lt;br /&gt;Singapore - 428795&lt;br /&gt;www.naivecompany.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've found quite a number of cool vegan restaurants and cafes around in th east...&lt;br /&gt;&amp;amp; never forgetting my favourite organic vegan restaurant, Livingreens. I'm gonna visit u again soon. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where are my guards on finding places new in singapore all by myself? &lt;br /&gt;I need to break my comfortable shell and go on a foodie hunt.&lt;br /&gt;My luv for food makes me go insanely now. *laughs*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, people always ask me  &lt;br /&gt;1) why are brown rice(unpolished rice) better than white rice?&lt;br /&gt;2) And why is sea salt better than normal white salt?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Answers:&lt;br /&gt;1) &lt;strong&gt;BROWN RICE&lt;/strong&gt; is the most balanced of all the cereal grains. Unpolished whole natural brown rice is higher in mineral, protein &amp;amp; flavour than white rice.&lt;br /&gt;(And brown rice taste so much better! I beg to differ if you don't agree! White rice is too soft and yucky.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) &lt;strong&gt;SEA SALT&lt;/strong&gt; is salt obtained from the ocean as opposed to land salt. It is either sun-baked or&lt;br /&gt;baked in a kiln. It is high in trace minerals &amp;amp; contains no chemicals, sugar or additives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS: Best to use organic cold pressed olive oil for dressings and flaxseed oil for salads.&lt;br /&gt;Buy your cooking oil from health shops available in singapore organic outlets.&lt;br /&gt;(:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May all sentient beings be well, happy and free from sufferings.&lt;br /&gt;Be luving and compassionate. Start and try a vegan or vegetarian diet now.&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy this route and discover something new each day!</content>

    <content type="html">Up early today at 8.30am without any alarm is seriously a miracle to me. Yes, i slept early last night! It's awesome! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had a fantabulous day yesterday with Liqi! At first, i was really reluctant to watch Mulan. All th movies now are so gross except for 2012 &amp;amp; th upcoming New Moon which is coming out tmr. However, 2012 starts only at 7+pm. What a bummer! After much persuation by Liqi because there's nothing else for us to choose(there's practically all th cartoon movies left about christmas -.-) we decided to watch th chinese film. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's seriously an eye opener for me. SERIOUSLY. I didn't even imagine it to be nice in th first place. My expectations was just about Mulan and those period type of movies in chinese that makes one sleep. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/00046rct/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" width="166" height="240" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/00046rct/s320x240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best movie watched this whole year. &lt;br /&gt;Rate: 5 SHINY STARS. ^^ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cried once, Liqi cried 5 times! It's a really emotional movie. Half th time i was really frighten when they had war each time with th enemies. Liqi was going gaga over th guy who love mulan! *laughs* &lt;br /&gt;Well, i prefered Jacky Chan's son inside which didn't have a good ending. He died ! AWWWW, was so freaking sad. But he was so brave! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bloodshed, Death, Love, Family kinship, Close Friendship, Filial piety, Loyalty, Sacrifices, Protective, Bravery, Hero &amp;amp; Heroine, Lost, Gained, Recognition, Emotional. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do catch this movie even though you're not a fan of chinese movies or Mulan. I wasn't at first but now i am! (saying it proudly) It triggered my luv for Vicky Zhao once again since th last time i watched : &lt;br /&gt;(Princess returning pearl &amp;amp; Romance in th rain) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So after watching th movie we went to city link, marina square and Plaza Sing to shop. URGH. BOMBED MY WALLET WITH A BIG HOLE. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace out to y'all! Off for bath, dinner and buddhist night class. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc3333"&gt;PS: I CAN SERIOUSLY WATCH MULAN AGAIN IF POSSIBLE!! &lt;br /&gt;PPS: Bon voyage, Liqi! (enjoy your china exchange prog) &lt;br /&gt;PPPS: I'm so nervous for results day. SIGH. ): When is it btw? holy crap. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;lj-embed id="60" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333399"&gt;This song was played after th movie. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;lj-embed id="61" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The trailer of Mulan. &lt;/span&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;span style="color: #000080"&gt;I don't know where to start blogging from seriously. &lt;br /&gt;I just stared th screen blankly cos' there's just too much to write here yet too lil to express. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;26th November 09(Thursday) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000080"&gt;Had meeting for th volunteery work at night. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;27th November 09(Friday) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="color: #003366"&gt;Woke up at 5.30am. ( I KNOW BUT I JUST HAVE TO EMPHASIZE THIS COS' IT'S SO EARLY) &lt;br /&gt;Got ready and moved out for vegetarian breakfast @ guan yin zai(yums) &amp;amp; headed to foohai. &lt;br /&gt;The day started and was busy th whole day throughout, busy preparing for those taking th 8 precepts (their meals and their chu bo) It was a tiring but happy day. (I &amp;lt;3 volunteery jobs) Ate lunch there and rested, had th overall meeting with everyone and went for th talk by th nun till 4.30. Left and followed mum along to her working place at hsbc(raffles) cos' she had so many urgent trades to be completed even though it was public holiday. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, it was an eye opener for me seriously! Never would i ever think and see how offices in bank looked like. The hsbc looks so high classed and stressful at th same time. I could actually feel th immense pressure in there if i was working there. It's just so scary and frightening to work in such an environment, a BANK that has endless jobs for th working people to do. You'll just have to put down all th work behind you when it's time to let go. Well anyways, th whole place looks so posh and rich, comfortable, so classy, elegant, cold(as in th air con) and cruel at th same time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I swear working in th bank will be my last option if all th jobs in th world wouldn't let me in. ): &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;28th November 09(Saturday) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000080"&gt;What a day! Needless to say but th day was good. Anyways, i've decided to reload all my food at home for th next pass 2 weeks or 1 week at home in holidays period now. I don't want to wake up hungry everyday and wondering what to eat when there's just simply nothing at home but unhealthy ones(like for example instant noodles yucks!). So i've decided to go down ntuc to get loads of delicious healthy food. Went down with mummy and practically gone mad. Bought quite a number of it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 box of mushroom pizza(2 inside), 1 packet of organic udon(3 bunch), 3 small pckts of organic instant pumpkin soup(to try out first), 2 tubs of walls ice cream(peppermint &amp;amp; choco nuts), 1 box of blueberry morning cereal, 1 carton of soya milk not so sweet, 2 tubs of brownrice tea with ginseng(i slept super well ystd after drinking it at night), 2 glass bottles of mushroom tomato sauces for pastas and a pckt of 3 in 1 milo to donate for th boy's bridgage fund box. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think this can last me for 1 week. Yes. :DD &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a bad sidenote, i realise i gained weight!!! &amp;Ouml; &lt;br /&gt;Sigh. I'm now 49kg. That's th result for holidays. I eat too much i think? I always indulge on night meals even despite eating a full course dinner. shit. But it's good in a sense? I don't want to be underweight. Checked my BMI previously when i was 46/7kg to th height and i should gain weight. Well, now idk if i shuld be happy or not? How contradict! =/ I think i should go for a jog in th evening later with sissy. ^^ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;29th November 09(Sunday) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000080"&gt;As for today, i nuahed. Nuahing in th process... &lt;br /&gt;Woke up at 1.30. ): Missed my glorious breakfast i always luv. ): &lt;br /&gt;&amp;amp; Ate lots of yummy food just now. I'm currently having a nervous feeling. Because now it's near th end of nov and that means dec is arriving in a few days time which also means my n lvl results are coming out. I'm so anxious and afraid. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;URGH. I hate this feeling. I hate results day! madness. im going bonkers man. sigh. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life goes on.... &lt;br /&gt;PS: I'm so gonna get a camera soon and that sponge thing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ff0066"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span class="entry-content"&gt;''The difficulties of life are intended to make us better &amp;amp; stronger, not bitter.&lt;/span&gt; '' &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;シ</content>

Luv it ttm. :DD &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Luv is like breathing underwater as you fall even deeper and never wanting to come up. &lt;br /&gt;You'll feel weightless,&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;your heart flies,&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;you feel like as if the whole world's smaller except you and your luv. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your luv just keeps going and never want it to pause or end it. &lt;br /&gt;Life seems to be filled with joyy and satisfaction, &lt;br /&gt;such adoring luv you wanna come back for more if you haven't had enough of it, &lt;br /&gt;which seems to me more of greed... &lt;br /&gt;but it's such lovely greediness. &lt;/em&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Saturday(21st) was a hectic and tiring but fruitful day spent in town @ outside taka(ngee ann city) for children's charity event. I would luv to say thankq to everyone who supported this event. The event started early in th morning and i was th least sleepy despite having only 5 hours of sleep th night before. (: Lil did i expect that Jiahui was there helping too. She represented her school to help out in that event. Was really happy to see her there and best is, she came over to support me by buying ice creams from our new zealand push carts and even brought along her friends to buy. Thank you so much! ^^ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was incharge of promoting and taking orders and it was kinda tough seriously. I had to remember orders from th customers and pass th msg to th 2 people who's scooping th ice creams. My mum was the scooper for th day with her friend. Edward was handling th cash th whole time of course. Just to introduce to you guys, his th head of passion bonders of ren ci. We had many people from passion bonders who joined in and helped out in th event. Th tiring thing of this was that i stood whole day long throughout and talked so much non stop. I had to keep my temper down when some difficult customers comes &amp;amp; give problems. Luckily there were bottles of water for th dry mouth of mine. But i was proud of myself for helping all th way and i definitely learned and benefited from this tremendously in many ways. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, i treated myself to douple scoop ice creams twice in th middle. No doubt, our ice cream sold really well thanks to th brand of new zealand and th savouring taste of it. Many customers came back for more and more... Heh :B &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The flavours that we picked to sell was chocolate ecstasy, cookies n cream, strawberry, walnut butterscotch, forest berry(yoghurt) &amp;amp; berry something(i forgot). :P Simply luv th feeling of accomplishments but th best was th experience itself. We're th clear winner from our rival who sold ice cream too from MARBLE SLAB ICE CREAM. Our ice creams were sold out th earliest really fast like arnd 4pm while th rest of th stalls were still trying their best to sell their different items. We even had many many customers who came and wanted to buy from us while we were alrdy busy packing and washing th stuffs.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;They looked into th push cart fridge and found to their dissapointment that there ain't anymore ice creams. The first flavour that was sold out first was cookies n cream followed by chocolate ecstasy and strawberry. :DDDD The popular demands of most people and some even came looking for chocolate flavour but it was sold out long ago. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My legs were so tired of th standing and when i came home my body felt hot(the ones when you really overworked too much). &lt;br /&gt;But it was all worthwhile. This event is really fruitful and it helps 6 organisations to raise funds for th physically disabled children etc. &lt;br /&gt;It was one of th best volunteery work i'd done. ^^ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday(22nd) was another fruitful day. Went ren ci to do volunteery work and i really luv all th old folks there since day one. (: Had a reflective thought all of a sudden. He didn't eat and cheat any money. He ain't guilty of anything and this is th truth. Many news and reports were all really exaggerating and they didn't state facts. Anyways, i'll just let it be and pray. Buddha, Bodhisatvas and the triple gems will bless him. He has done so much and put in so much effort into this. Th innocent should not deserve such treatment and things. Will just continue supporting him at th back regardless on anything. How ignorant outsiders and strangers see into this case in their own selfish and self centred point of view. Foolish and stupid how nowadays city people have no wisdom. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, after th volunteery work, headed to bfy for th session immediately. Thanks dad for driving me there! When i headed to th rocanna room it was packed and filled with many youths. Okay, i joined in th middle when they were debating. The topic was ''Should Buddhist evangelise the dharma?'' After everything had our usual group bonding(sariputta). Sadly, we were kicked out of th dance for th 21st anniversary cos' there were too many ppl in it. I feel kinda insulted in a way cos those who just joined in were part of it. We learned th whole dance alrdy. Well, i shall diminish my anger slowly from now on. What's not yours is never yours. Nyways, after the whole session, sissy and i headed to vivo for subway, tracy's organic juices(bought wheat black soya) and daiso. Sissy was giddy in daiso cos of th arrangements of things that's displayed! *laughs* Was crazy in daiso cos' i practically wanted to buy loads of things. Ended up buying different shades of blue nail polishes, a red heart shape cup for my brushing teeth and a straw basket to put my nail polishes inside. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yeah, th day went on really fun. :)</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium"&gt;Peace of mind is not the absence of conflict from life, but the ability to cope with it.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think this is really true. I should apply this in my life. I often run away from conflicts or troubles or bad situations rather than coping and dealing with th problem bravely. Like what i always remember th quote from Ven. Shen Yen in one of his books. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;''Face it, accept it, deal with it and let it go.'' &lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/00042c62/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" width="31" height="25" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/00042c62" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;It's one of th hardest things to do and achieve. &lt;br /&gt;Maybe or perhaps the first 3 is easy but it's never easy to let go. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I spot this on Tiny Buddha's twitter that leads me to the website. &lt;br /&gt;Instantly, i felt that this is something nice to share to everyone. (: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium"&gt;40 Ways to Let Go and Feel Less Pain &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/0004119d/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" width="300" height="199" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/xcherylzou/pic/0004119d" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://tinybuddha.com/blog/40-ways-to-let-go-and-feel-less-pain/"&gt;http://tinybuddha.com/blog/40-ways-to-let-go-and-feel-less-pain/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[A gentle reminder]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="entry-content"&gt;Sticky note: Come down to takashimaya(ngee ann city) 2 support and buy th new zealand ice cream from passion bonders for kids charity tmr!

C: Your support is most appreciated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;span class="UIStory_Message"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, yesterday was another great night at buddhist class. Always learned so much and recall stuffs i learn previously. It's a good ol' recap on how to deal with my inner thoughts and feelings too. Whatever we feel, think, how bad th situations are, it's controlled and judged by ones mind, own perspective &amp;amp; thoughts. You'll never know how th other party really and genuinely thinks and feels. So let's stop judging others and make assumptions so quickly. So frequently, we always get so offended or irritated or feel sad just by words that others had spoken that u felt so affected inside you. Or probably just by th behaviour or look/stare that u start assuming that he/she doesn't like u or treat u mean. Often after making your own assumptions and judgements, you feel really unhappy, sad, angsty, pissed off. Most of th time, judging from your own perspectives and assumptions that u made most of th time, it's always being judged &lt;strong&gt;wrongly&lt;/strong&gt; and it only cause you to feel so sucky which leads to sufferings inside you. So th only way to lead a happier life is to stop judging and not make assumptions so fast. You'll never know that you're actually th one who's the culprit to living life so miserably. The person who you assume that made u suffer inside may not even be aware of it and that just makes u silly right? No one can make u suffer only yourself. &lt;br /&gt;Dontcha think so? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no more words to write here. Enough said. ^^ &lt;br /&gt;On a sidenote: I want to get a digital camera soooooon and change my whole writing style here. &lt;br /&gt;Peace out lovely sentient beings! &lt;br /&gt;xoxo &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>
