here's an extract from.. It's not my wedding ( but I'm in charge)
"I made a mental note to list things like that, the little things in life that were the brushstrokes of contentment and pursue them. And then I stopped myself. No, that was work mode, making lists, setting goals, crossing them off the dry erase board wall and moving on to the next one without fully ever appreciating the things I'd just done. I wouldn't make a list. I'd just let things happen. Fly without a plan. In a few month's time, I'd see what wound up on the list of things that came to me without effort."
that passage made me think a lot.. bout how i make lists of the things i want to get done.. even these little things sometimes.. why don't i just let them fly by...

friends
oh on a side note.. i saw tsh's blog today. n i saw my name in caps. lol! no thats not the point. she was saying sth bout our 11 year friendship that we have.. amazing. oh yes.. n that makes me feel kinda old too..
back to the point.. its really cool to still keep in contact with pri sch friends.. n even meet up.. n r so close still.. we can like dun talk to each other for like half a year.. n then when we meet up.. we can juz talk for ages n still feel like the bestest friends we had in our lifetime. like we have never ever parted.. still as close as before..
n i met louilee on train today.. one of my hws friends.. n we chatted about pri sch.. i feel quite sad that she no longer contacts any of her pri sch friends..
but i realised she aint the only one.. theres many who have lost contacts with their friends.. be it pri sch or sec sch.. or even 1st 3 months..
i feel sad for those who have lost contact.. coz u only narrow ur circle of friends n u miss out on the wondeful feeling that.. u have a friend who has been beside u for so long.. juz quietly supporting u in everything u do.. even if she/he doesnt know what uve been up to..
well i think that friends are really important in life.. though many say family is more important coz they are the ones who wun leave u in times of need.. i still think friends are equally important.. mayb u'll say im simplistic or i haven experienced enough to c the true colours of friends.. but i still want to stand firm on my stand.. bcoz in the future.. when u look back on life.. its ur friends who give u this peaceful n heartwarming feeling when u reminisce together bout the times u had together.. doing the stupid things, going through the hardships, n of coz those happy times.. these experiences shared is something special between u n that particular friend. but of coz.. u have those with ur family members as well.
so my point is. i treasure all my friends. i like the fact that ure always there even if our friendship has gone stale.. its easy to rekindle that love for each other.. that link that we shared.. juz by looking back together.. having that nostalgic feeling [which doesnt really describe what i want to express totally].. n then we can look forward together or juz enjoy each other's presence. its juz this comforting feeling u get.
so to all my friends..
even though we get caught up in our lives.. too bz for one another.. dun meet up at all.. or dun talk for ages.. i still remember u. its juz being pushed out of my mind coz of the things in life muddling up my memory. though i may not say it.. but i do think n i do care bout how u r when u pop up in my mind.. n i seriously miss all of u.

life is a swingride
life is a swingride.
its full of ups and downs. sometimes its exciting and full of events. but at other times, it can get rather monotonous.
on a swing, you can be moving upwards or downwards, depending on which motion of the swing you are at. if you want to make the swing move higher, you have to make an effort to change the amplitude of the motion or your friend to push you forward. if not, it'll slow down and the height will decrease.
so if you want to change your life, you'll have to make an effort to change it. of course, you can rely on your friends to bring in some vibrancy to your life, but it may not always happen. ultimately, its still all up to yourself whether your life is full of excitement or going through a boring daily or weekly routine.
-this something i though of when i was going through a 'boring', 'routine' life

okay. ive created a new blog to post other stuff.. meaning.. not my normal kind of rantings..
as the blog name suggests.. its fervency - the warmth or intensity of feeling; ardor; fervour.
here i'll b posting bout stuff which ive thought about strongly. my own 'quotes' bout life, my feelings of the day or mayb other quotes which i thought r good.. not really sure bout what i'll include in the future.. but it'll definitely not b long n3s bout day to day stuff. postings will not b regular or frequent. hope it'll b insightful.
