Evan (obs instructor) shared this with us someday.

"I wish you enough"
- Bob Perk

Recently I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together. They had announced her departure and standing near the security gate, they hugged and he said, "I love you. I wish you enough." She in turn said, "Daddy, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Daddy."

They kissed and she left. He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking, "Did you ever say goodbye to someone knowing it would be forever?"

"Yes, I have," I replied. Saying that brought back memories I had of expressing my love and appreciation for all my Dad had done for me. Recognizing that his days were limited, I took the time to tell him face to face how much he meant to me.

So I knew what this man experiencing.

"Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever goodbye?" I asked.
"I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is, the next trip back would be for my funeral," he said.

"When you were saying goodbye I heard you say, "I wish you enough." May I ask what that means?"

He began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone." He paused for a moment and looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, he smiled even more."When we said 'I wish you enough,' we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them," he continued and then turning toward me he shared the following as if he were reciting it from memory.

"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Goodbye."

He then began to sob and walked away.

I wish all my friends, family and myself, enough.

OBS was hell loads of fun and memorable moments, because of the people involved and the things we were doing. Every minute we were doing something, besides the 7 hours of sleep that is. From waking up to unpitch the tents to eating breakfast to packing things and then moving off, back to have a quick shower, washing our life vests and then pitching tents and to start cooking.

The guys helping to carry things, the girls helping to wash things. Us laughing together with the best instructor ever (Y) I LOVE COLUMBUS (and the instructor evan of course hahaha). Haha sounds like some reflection but seriously it was really awesome. I think the juniors who are going in July are so going to love it.

I think it was that through the hardships people really bond a lot more together. But well, obs is over and its effing back to reality. The moment I came back, reality hits me back hard, real hard. Its all back to worrying about things and deciding and making choices.

At least we managed to escape away from reality for a period of 5 days.

Tests, what are tests? I forgot about them long ago.
Evan told me that. T.T Super suan. To be serious I admire him, for having a job which he enjoys doing. I wonder how I will end up in a few years time.

I think I sound emo in this post, or maybe I am -.- wahlao!

Something lacks in me recently, I have hell no idea what that is!! ):<

But I feel kinda inspirational now.

Ugh.
I am considering whether to abandon this blog or not blog forever, because I am losing the touch to blog, tsktsk no good.

Ok now I am smiling because I thought of the retarded story different 4E people contributed to a few days ago. I like 4E, I seriously do.

I'm going to go have a good sleep and then wake up to finish up physics assignment and bio assignment and pack for obs.
(HAHAHA I SOUND SO NO LIFE)

Tutor tday was great, I've learnt so much from her and I think from today I found out what I was lacking in terms of my attitude towards everything. And I should change, hm yes I should.
I like playing the clarinet, I mean it.

I have been losing touch with too many people and gaining touch (if thrs such a term) with many. Idk if it actually balances up my life that bit, because it always feels more like a loss than a gain, for each decision and choice that I make. But I must learn not to regret in any case.

Did I post that for bio practical we cut eyeballs? Pig's eyeballs. Hell cool yeah (Y).

Haha I have no idea why but I find it so hard to understand, but I guess my mum is right. I will have to accept it no matter what why how. I dont know why I have to, but I just know I have to. Ironic yes?

Maybe someday I will grow numb to this kind of things, 'cause afterall it doesnt really matter right? Cause when i repeatedly ask myself this question I find myself searching for an answer that will never exist.

Sorry 'bout the lack of content.

I believe things happen for a reason.

“ If I’ve learned anything in life, it is that sometimes things get in your path and you have a choice: you can either smash right into them, or you can adjust and move around, but you have to do one or the other in order to move forward. "

School is seriously mundane! Except for the fact that everyone cracks up when HE goes up and speak about some crap, although some of the things he say is true but we, the students are not terrorists, or osama or whatever you wanna call us. (i think i sound offensive here?)

This reminds me of the day me, fiona, paola, tseyin and amanda walked past some jjc students and they are like "your new principal very good hor?"

-.-

I think it is impossible for anyone to completely understand someone else. It's tiring to keep guessing and to keep quiet without asking if no one wants to speak. But sometimes you know you have to do it. But it gets tiring after a while, dont know why. But I guess to some extent, we all try to understand each other better in many ways.

It's weird how I still manage to fall asleep in class although I sleep at ten plus everyday, I still feel so frigging tired during lessons gosh this is so terrible. And then I would only remember wesley murmuring to me "What did teacher say ah?" And he turns to me only to find me dozing off lolol T.T

KKKKK I AM BORED.

There's always people you'll keep, people you'll try to cherish but never managed to cherish enough, people who have left, people who you have grown closer to, people whom you wished you knew more about them, people whom you have questions about, people whom you love, people whom you wished loved you more,

yet when you look back at all those memories you have with each of these people,
you feel stronger each time. And you learnt to accept the way things are.

When somebody you are no longer close to messages you a simple HAPPY BIRTHDAY or GOOD LUCK FOR EXAMS, leave you a message on facebook or tags you in a note,
you feel warm all over again,

'cause you know the memories of that person has never once faded away.

Its easy to find someone who can make you smile or cry. But it takes someone really special to make you smile even though you've got tears in your eyes.

I think my friends are capable of that : )

I suddenly have this thought, that even though most of the time we may make decisions that have caused us to miss out important things in our life,
But I know I would never miss out those important people in my life. : )

Happy new year world!

I guess there's no need for any resolutions if I know I won't keep to them, but I know it is important to cherish whatever I have now and stay happy for as long as ever. That will keep me alive and going, yes?

I've gained more than what I've lost last year, at least all that I have lost made me feel like I need to treasure more. And the feeling of regret is getting lesser every time I make a decision to go for something. But whatever it is, say byebye to 2009!

Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAN HSIAO TIEN!
Haha omg I was so worried you didnt like the surprise ley! Haha thanks for being such an awesome babaye LOL (ive said tht like many times but im still saying it) and i shall just keep this post short and sweet (like you! except the sweet part LOL). So yeah! Hope you had the best day of your life and stay happy as long as ever! 2010 will be an awesome year for you! :D
