if u want to hear more about mt kinabalu, go to this link. my.shared.blog

this post is just some of my musings. all these are just snippets of my thoughts and are not directed to anyone in particular. i apologise if u take offence.

during mt kina, certain significant things happened and i had a lot of time to think and reflect it.

i think that we always live in our own world, and sometimes the sad thing is that we never come out of that world. I think it's a pity when u see things happening in front of u but u dun really care or absorb anything. I think it's not that we dont see things, but rather because we refuse to accept it, we contort it in such a way that conforms with the way we think and feel.

The time that we wake up from our world is the time we realise that we've been sleeping. it is ironic, but i think its true. the fact that we can recognise that we are so self-absorbed and that we've failed to notice things is a sign that we are becoming more aware[of the situation, others and ourselves], it is the first step to stepping out of our world. it is only then can we stand in others shoes and put yourselves in their perspective without subconsciously contorting what we see to match our thinking.

I dun think we can truly learn to empathise, as each person goes through different experiences and problems, so we can never fully understand their situation, even if we have been in a similar situation before. but even so, we can always learn to sympathise, to try to see things their way, and attempt to rationalise things their way. then not only will we grow, but we will learn to respect others and be able to influence and maybe help others.

in life there should be a balance, afterall, life is a delicate balance in itself. the problems and troubles that we face shape us, the pain that we experience moulds us. we may grow up not being able to sympathise as we have ever faced any major problems and dealt with any major pains, but no one can blame you.

pain is another irony itself. gathering from the stuff i read, i agree with this. we can never experience happiness and joy if we have never experience pain. afterall, without experiencing pain there can be no contrast, so we will never be able to understand and experience true joy and happiness.

sometimes we just have to accept that different people express themselves differently. there are many ways- verbally, writing, actions. most people express verbally, but even though some people don't share their thoughts, it doesnt mean they dont care.

all that i have written are just parts of musings of mine formed by my past experiences and contributed by people who have never failed to give me support and advice. these are just some of my thoughts and they are subject to change as i grow each day. it is not possible for me to write everything down because some things just cant be penned even if i express better through writing. there are just no words.

im very glad and grateful for all the opportunities i've been given. im proud to be an odacian. i have never met more strong minded people before. im proud to be in batch 15. fifteenies we will be there for each other. be strong and keep smiling (x!

i really appreciate the people around me, who never failed to touch me in some way. Thank you for everything!
