An End to a Beginning

If you think I’m one day late for the New Year post you’re wrong. I have to wait for the day to be over to do it. The New Year’s Eve was good. It could be better, but it’s good. Thanks for trying to help and sorry for disappointing you all but it’s tough, I hope you guys understand. If you don’t get it means you’re not supposed to. What’s most important is actually not the place or what you do, it’s the company. The company you have greatly influences how much you enjoy something. As for Lung, congratulations even tough you couldn’t have her company for the countdown but there are many more years for you to do so.

I’m glad to have the company of those with me during the end and the beginning. Thanks for the company. The beginning of the year was good with the fireworks and all but after that, it’s pretty frustrating. I wasted I think 7 bucks trying to call people to make sure everyone have no problem getting home. Wasted I think over an hours just to settle everything. Finally everyone’s transport is settled and it’s time to get moving. Drove two girls home and then we guys went for a mamak session.

As usual it was eating, drinking and talking. There’s nothing much to elaborate on there. After that due to a brilliant suggestion from one of the genius, we went for a CS session in T-Bun. Finished at 5 something and 5 decided to overnight at my house. And so we fetched some people home and head to my home. We had a little discussion on the eve and 4 went to sleep while I and Chong Sheng talked the whole night. Minutes after the 8a.m. Jun Hsien woke up and we woke everyone else up. We went breakfast like zombies as all of us were real tired except Chong Sheng who was a bit high of not enough sleep.Guys at T-Bun

After that went home took my bath and wasted part of my day sleeping. Went out for about 40+ minutes near my house and went home did usual stuff and wasted the end of my day from about 9.30 sleeping again accidentally. Basically my 1st day was quite wasted and it’s time to catch up. No regrets going for the countdown though. Even though I’m one day late, EVERYONE HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

A new year a new idea

Ending

There will always be an end for everything. For this blog of mine, it is now. This post will be the last post of the blog. Never will you see a new post anymore in this waiyew.blogspot.com url. The age of 16 will end in a few days time. 2007 will soon end and begins the new year of 2008.

Endings for different things cause different feelings to appear. For example a sad feeling will appear when something good ends while a happy feeling appears when sufferings end. The end of this blog gives me the feeling of completion. The record of thinking from the happenings this year is over.

Since it’s the end, I wish not to write so much. I will now officially end this blog, LIFE according to a 16 year old.

Finale

A lot I have written in this blog. This blog marks the things I have learned from everything that resolves around me. Things that happened to me, things that happened to my friends and also things that never happened but I felt. It contains my feeling and teaching. The year is coming to an end and with it this blog will end as well. This blog has yet to end though. It will only end by the end of the month. Until then, probably there won’t be anymore posts but, who knows?

I’m going to stop not because I’m running out of ideas. Not because there’s nothing going on in my life anymore. It’s just that the time for the end has come. This blog marks my 16 year old life and will go no further. It will remain and continue to be here to let anyone who wants to read. I certainly will come back and read my own works of the past. Not just to humor myself nor think back my past but to remind myself of all advices that I give to others.

Often one seeks advice from someone more experienced or wise but how many of the answers one gets isn’t something one already knows. Many things we already know but at many times we choose to ignore it or we forget it. This is why I would read what I have written myself as often I can find many things useful that I have forgotten. You can often seek answers from your past. Even this can be found from my past works.

There were actually times where I’ve forgotten why I wrote this blog. I started off as an expression of my emotions. I continued on to writing lessons of life. Why did I write them? I actually hoped it can help people. But then I never found out is that objective reached? I can’t see anyone giving any proper comment at all. I just wish someone would actually write a comment about what I have written so far.

I hope now that this blog is coming to an end, at least someone would bother to fulfill my wish. I just wish someone could speak from the bottom of their heart about their opinion on my blog, that’s all. Is that so hard? I mean, you can even write as anonymous. Why can’t anyone actually do it? Well, if none actually bothers it’s fine. No matter what, this blog will end by the end of the month.

Phases

It seems there aren’t really anymore people who want to read my works anymore. Is it? Of course I don’t hope that this is true but well, I can’t seem to see any signs of people still reading my work anymore. I’m considering whether to continue on writing actually. Well, decision will be made depending on what goes through my mind and what happens to my blog in the next few weeks. Well, I’ll just go on with my post now. The idea of this post is taken from another blog but it’s only the idea not the contents.

There are many phases in a person’s life. In these different phases they change, they mature, they feel different things. The first phase from a baby to a kid none actually remembers their lives as a baby. What actually goes through a baby’s mind is not known. As a kid grows towards a teenager physically growth like pimples and sudden growth of height usually happen. Thinking of course changes as well. Well, 1 of the things is the attraction of girls will just suddenly appear to them. Their view on many things will change as well.

Within the teenagers age there’s still 1 phase which is the form 4 phase. Many things change again in this phase. Many things will happen to change a person in this phase. Not only things around us will affect the change but the mind itself will change. The view on things will change. These changes are different from the past ones. This phase is actually the pre-adult phase. This phase actually prepares one for the next phase of change which is the adult.

There’s nothing I can say about that phase as I have not gone through it yet. All I know is there’s a very high chance that one’s view will be different once more. Well, all we can do is actually wait for that phase and see what it does. There’s no point worrying what will change and what will not. Changes might be good and might be bad but no matter what learn to see its good side. I have not been able to take the changes at all but through time and through experience many things have become capable.

Within this form 4 phase things changed more than once for me. Every change that occurs, everything that happens matures a person. Till now, everything I see, everything that happens make me think, makes me feel something. Looking back at things I’ve seen before a different feeling, a different message can be felt and can be seen. Through this phases one doesn’t grow smarter or more rational, one grows more mature.

The year has not ended yet until now. There’s still one whole month more. None can ever predict what will happen the next 30 days and how will it affect us. The things that happened have inspired me to start this blog. There’s no doubt it’s possible that something happens and make me lose my interest to continue on. Will it? Will it not? None can tell. The future is unknown to us, we’ll just have to be prepared to face whatever comes next.

Be prepared for the unknown future.

Barrier

It's been long since I've last posted. Ideas will never stop flowing through one's mind so that point is definitely off. I write posts according to the thought flowing through my mind when things happen, change or anything. Things like that will never stop so that point is gone as well. The reason I stopped for so long is because many things that went through my mind has been things I wish not to disclose to public. The year will end soon and a new beginning is coming. Not only will the year be new many things will. Not to mention, even myself will probably change. Might elaborate on next post now lets get on with current post.

People form a barrier on other people. Barriers are formed both intentionally and unintentionally at different times and situations. Some people choose to form barrier to keep distance from negative people for example. This is what known as an intentional barrier. Unintentional barrier meanwhile would be something like maybe people with their ex couples even though it doesn’t apply to everyone. Well, the important thing is the point is understood.

To have barriers forming around you has its good and bad. Good is people won’t be able to harm you or influence you and bad is you can’t really get friends. Well, to have barriers is fine but not to keep it on at all times is very important. Not having a barrier wouldn’t be bad either as long as you keep your own stand and beliefs. To keep distance without forming barrier is possible actually. It simply means to be friends but not hang out together.

Barriers aren’t only for the whole of a person. It can be only working to block your mind from others. There are many who choose to keep their mind within their own barrier not letting anyone see through it. Most people who are like this have a different thinking compared to an average person. It might not be of great thinking but it’s definitely different.

Personally I somehow kind of have a barrier confining my own thoughts and blocking others from knowing. To keep all of the thinking to you isn’t a very nice thing to do. At some point there will be a feeling of loneliness as there’s none who really understands you. Another thing is you’ll feel like letting it out but some things you just don’t want to let people know. That point is where I choose to write diary.

Points where I want to let people know I actually choose to write it out. At many times I am unable to say out what I want to. It may be because of I don’t know how to say or I don’t dare to say. Due to being unable to express self through speech I resort to express myself through writing. It’s not that I couldn’t talk properly or have trouble thinking of what to say but it’s just I don’t dare to speak and also I wouldn’t speak if I’m not sure of what to. That’s what forming my barrier, it’s not that I want to.

Advices

People always get to a point where they do not know what to do. At these times they often seek for help from people, books or other sources. Actually, anyone can give good advices. The only reason one cannot give advices is the situation cannot be fully understood or the person’s mind is clouded. Actually the advices given by others can easily be thought out by one self. The reason one does not get to do so is because when being in the problem itself, people cannot think properly.

The advices given by others actually may come out as an advice one has given to others before. It’s actually quite normal for that to happen. It’s just because other people have a clear mind while the person in it do not. There are actually many things I have written in this blog which I have forgotten. As I go through my own blog I can see a lot of things I have not done myself. Just as an example I’ll say about the self-confidence point. One of my best points is actually the self-confidence. I’ve written that before, I’ve told myself that before and I’ve told others before but there are times I forget about it. Having no self-confidence I’m left as an ordinary or maybe below average person in certain things.

Another point that cannot be left out is to say is easier than doing. Many advices can be given but how many can be done by the person who says them? There are things that are easier for some to do and harder for some as well. Even though you can do it doesn’t mean others can. It’s not only the ability and skill that affects it but also the mind. Though there are ways to overcome them but for many cases it requires quite an amount of time and also opportunities to do so.

To conclude what I said, at troubled times always try to clear your mind or just seek for help. Refreshing your memories on your past ideas or advices to others may come in handy as well. But no matter how hard things are for you to do there won’t be a ‘can’t’ it’s always a can, only maybe there are other things needed for it to be done. Writing down your thoughts and ideas like what I’m doing now is very good as well. It may help other and it may help you in the future as well.

Your past may teach your present.

Teaching

Teaching doesn’t only apply on education though. Teaching also includes the teaching of religion, way of life and things like that. There are different styles of teaching by different kinds of people. Some may choose to just make people remember, some may choose to teach by punishment and reward way and some may even choose to tell them their own story or experience. There are other methods of course but the best method is definitely by telling them the logic so that they understand why.

People who do not know about thing will ask why. Reasons are very important for one to decide whether or not to follow, apply or even remembering. Many people do not understand this principle and just keep saying the surface of things like don’t this, don’t that or that’s not right, this is right. They just neglect the very important thing which is ’why?’. That is definitely the most important thing to be told if you want people to follow, apply or remember.

If we go into the education world, many teachers tend to neglect telling student the reasons things happen. Maybe it’s because they themselves don’t know, maybe they don’t bother or maybe they just don’t realize how important it is. I do not know the reason but I can assure you by telling the reasons the students will do better. There are good teachers who do not neglect this fact of course and the difference of the effectiveness of their lessons can clearly be seen.

On the religions, I do not wish to touch as religions are very sensitive issues and I fear I might offend someone or cause small commotions. Therefore, I will go straight to the teaching of life. For parents, many parents do not know that by punishing and scolding the children will not change. In fact, many children tend to be rebellious. They’ll just do the opposite of what you tell them to do. How many children are rebellious towards their parents I do not know but I can definitely say I am a rebellious person.

There’s just no use telling me things without reason. I’ll just take it as crap if the reason is untold. What I require is a logic that I understand and can accept. The logic of what I’m saying is people remember the reasons or logic better. Humans are intellectual beings. We can use the logics and reasons to create things. Pure remembering and applying is not good enough. The situation differs every time and therefore there will be changes required but with the same logic or reason. That is why we have to answer the ‘why?’ every time.

Don’t just tell people how, tell them why.
