Sometimes we ask questions, when we actually have the answers. What were we exactly expecting? A different truth? A kindly truth?
Everyone says they want the truth, but of course. But sometimes we secretly wish truth isn’t that harsh. How many can actually take it, or accept it as it is instead of seeking another perhaps more favorable truth?

50 Life Secrets and Tips
- Memorize something everyday. Not only will this leave your brain sharp and your memory functioning, you will also have a huge library of quotes to bust out at any moment. Poetry, sayings and philosophies are your best options.
- Constantly try to reduce your attachment to possessions. Those who are heavy set with material desires will have a lot of trouble when their things are taken away from them or lost. Possessions do end up owning you, not the other way around. Become a person of minimal needs and you will be much more content.
- Develop an endless curiosity about this world. Become an explorer and view the world as your jungle. Stop and observe all of the little things as completely unique events. Try new things. Get out of your comfort zone and try to experience as many different environments and sensations as possible. This world has so much to offer, so why not take advantage of it?
- Remember people’s names so that they feel appreciated and for your own future benefit when you want something from that person. To do this, say their name back to them when they introduce themselves. Then repeat the name in your head a number of times until you are sure you have it. Continue to use their name in conversation as much as possible to remove any chance of forgetting it. If you’re still having trouble, make up a rhyme about their name: “Dan the Man” or “Natalie flatters me.”
- Get fit! It’s ridiculous to think that we have one body, one sole means of functioning, and people are too lazy to take care of themselves. Fit bodies lead to better health, confidence and more success with the opposite sex. I’d say those are 3 very good reasons to get in shape.
- Learn to focus only on the present. The past is unchangeable so it is futile to reflect on it unless you are making sure you do not repeat past mistakes. The future is but a result of your actions today. So learn from the past to do better in the present so that you can succeed in the future.

I asked Dan, Rupert and Emma to write essays about their characters. I was amazed to find that they responded to the task very much in the way that their respective characters would — Dan wrote a couple of pages while Emma’s essay was very long and very thorough. Perhaps the most in character was Rupert’s response: I forgot to do it.

haha am amused
Just did some spring-cleaning.
Found 5 strips of panadol, all almost full, forgot I used to be a panadol junkie last time. Well at least I don’t eat them anymore. But they’ll come into use sooner or later.
Some things I don’t know whether to throw or not, are most people hoarders too? There are so many things that have memories attached and some emotional value, such that even if they are useless it’s difficult to just see them as merely ‘things’, or junk.
Spring cleaning is strangely therapeutic somehow, maybe because there is a semblance of order, even when all else is a mess.
Papa is wants to build a treehouse, now he and mummy are surfing the internet to look for treehouse ideas haha super amused. Will be cool though, maybe it’ll be like a sanctuary. Unless they are planning to make it into a permanent mahjong room. Hopefully not lol. Ok they’ve decided on something like this but with less balcony space and one set of stairs. Haha hope he’s serious it’s starting to sound like a lot of fun.

Lacking the adrenalin rush that should have came with the run. All I want to do is just sleep everything away.
It is always easier to say something, words can be beautiful but that is all that they are. To really mean it, believe in it and do it… It is a totally different matter.
