Sewol ferry incident

I think by now the whole world knows about the ferry incident that happened in South Korea.

My deepest condolences to those who left the world. And My deepest prayer to those who are still out there, missing, hopefully surviving.

Rescue efforts are still going on and I feel bad that I can't do much to help.

But what I want to say is this there's something to learn from this incident.

'Life is full of uncertainties'

We never know what will happen to us in the next minute or even the next second. Who could have expect that the ferry will sink. What started as a happy, leisure trip actually turned out to be a tragedy. No one can foresee what is going to happen next.
So we should all cherish whatever we have and whoever we have. We should treasure all the time that we have. We should be good to the people who are with us.

If you have read those messages/notes that the victims sent to their family, you would've cried.
Be careful of what you say. Whatever you send out could be your last words. So treat your family good. Don't say 'I Love You' or 'I'm Sorry' at the last minute. Make them know that you love them.

This incident and the previous incident make me cherish life more.

April 8 2014

Since I haven't been blogging for a long time, I'm going to write a post today.

First of all, i'm so not used to my new keyboard. I need some time to adjust to it. So I'm spending such a long time to write one post.

Ok anyway, about my life, it has been fine. Had a long holiday ever since exams ended and I'm going to a new school soon. Thank god my results were not bad. School is going to start soon. I'm kind of worried yet excited. After all, it's a whole new environment and experience. And I'm turning 17 this year. Time flies. Slowly, i'm growing up and learning more and more things as I mature.

enough about school. I'm going to look forward to it and keep a positive mind. about my holidays, well, I don't know what to say about it. At first I was supposed to attend the Korean Music Wave in SG but it got cancelled. yes I got scammed. whatever. So never mind that... anyway, I did quite a number of things this few months.

1. no KMW but I went to this K-fever, a kpop fair brought together by various kpop fanclubs in SG. I went with my friends and we had fun, watching the kpop dance cover competition. We also learn by observing others' dance.

2. had a part time job. but it was short term. Though I didn't work for long, maybe because I'm too lazy, it was still a great experience. After all it was my first work experience. So shiok to spend the money I earned. I can safely call it mine. But money is hard to earn. We should all save up! now im broke, ok shall not say that because there are people in the world that are not so privileged than me. I should count myself lucky. So I should start saving.

3. choosing a school. I made the decision myself. sort of the biggest decision I ever made in my entire life. suddenly I felt like I grew up. I felt a sense of responsibility. Because it's a decision that can affect my whole life. I had to think very carefully and no one else can help me because it's my life. Even my parents can't help me to choose. They can only give me advice.

4. Dance. yes dancing has always been my interest and slowly turning into a passion. I really hope to keep on pursuing it. It has always been my way of relieving stress. I love to dance even if I'm not good at it. but who cares, it's my own problem, it's my life. I got a chance to learn dance at a dance school with my friend and the experience was great. We get to learn different dance styles even if it's for one lesson. at least we learn and experience something. and also, I get to meet people whose dance skills are far better than me.

5. Little teacher. I went back to my secondary school and taught my juniors dance. yes, I'm not good but it's something I learnt before.  Besides, while teaching them, I get to learn from them. It also helps to build up my sense of responsibility because I have a mission, which is to pass down what I've learnt. It was a good experience and in fact today was our last lesson. After spending a month with them at least, I do feel sad parting with them. T.T hope to go back soon when I have time and see how much they grown.

so that's basically everything I guess. so bye bye!
