Saw this post on Facebook and found it meaningful, so I'm here to document it!
A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the "half empty or half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: "How heavy is this glass of water?"
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.
She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything."
It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down!
And ya, 人都是矛盾的!
When I don't have any job offers, I 烦。Now that I got a job offer, I 烦 too! Why like that!?
Anyway, pay isn't bad, just that location is more than an hour away =/ How?
I also don't know how =(
Anyway, shall relax for tonight and let it bother me on Sunday! 好吧,就这样!

29th January. A day filled with memories!
GOOD NEWS! Today! Emmanuel called and told me YANG HAN IS TRANSFERRING BACK TO ME!!! <3 <3 <3 Love this boy, and was so happy because I'm touched by the fact that he changed his swimming lessons for piano lessons. Really touched leh, to have someone to 'like' you.
I guess I understand how the girl I have taught for a lesson requested to change back to her original teacher. Guess it takes time and courage to have a change in children's environment!
Anyway! Mum did some cleaning up for the cupboard in Dad and Bro's room. Basically it's our stationery cupboard and it contains all these!!
The one on the left was during Lake Odyssey Chung Cheng's anniversary. We performed at the orchestra pit. Nice performance I would say, and we spent lots of time preparing for it!
My precious erasers which saw me through 'wars' with my brothers.
We used to name ourselves according to the 3 kingdoms in the famous 三国演义
魏吳蜀
Weiqi always wins this game while Weikai always have the least erasers! Haha somehow I remembered him having 14 of them!
Well! Piles of christmas cards that I bought! LOL!
THEY ARE ALL SO CUTE AND PRETTY!!!
And I always like to buy them, but only used a few of them! HAHAHA!
Keychains that I made during home econs lessons! So nice right!?
Anyway it all happened on 29 Jan. And you know what? It's snoopy's birthday!
Happy Birthday my dear boy!
I still remember the scene where my 2nd brother and I were depicting that your mummy gave birth to you on that very day! 29 Jan 1997. You are 16!!
A day as a Cello Bass Instructor.
OHHH! This is a must tell!
In TP, I used to teach Yang Qin, GuZheng though I know close to nuts about them! I mean.. I don't know these instruments well but I was 'forced' to teach as there's no instructors available during the day of practice.
Well.. actually I'm pretty glad about this.. coz it encouraged me to venture and learn more about the unknown on the spot!
And YES! Hahaha! Last wed, 23 Jan, I went to teach Greenridge Primary School CELLO BASS!! Wow! that was the least expected! Haha! Actually I was supposed to do conducting at Holy Innocent (LOL EVEN LOUDER). Then on the day when the in-charge came to pick me up.. he told me there's a change of plans and that I'm going to Greenridge (at Bukit Panjang) to teach CB! Well and I think he's kinda expecting me to say okay without asking if I know Cello/Bass! Haha!
Well, but it went well.. Just that the kids are kinda active and they are always fidgeting and asking tons of questions! But at least, there's this girl, Jessie Boo (a P6 Bass player) who offered me seat and is the most sensible among all. I guess she's the president or da jie over there!
Kids there were:
Jeven (a pri1 boy who's very shy with a very low cello coz the stand was spoilt)
Joshua Tan (quite clever I would say, and he told me a girl farted during dazu.. and asked me to find who that person is.. But in the first place.. HOW DID HE KNOW WHETHER IT'S A GIRL/BOY?)
Oh no, there's this boy whom I forgot his name.. he's the most active cellist. But I find them the most talented among all!
Qifang (Bassist) A very quiet girl whom I didn't even get to interact with! =S
Too bad it's like almost 1.5 - 2 hrs away from my house, or I would go teach more often! =D
And here's a photo of your beloved Cello/Bass Teacher! =D

吃得饱,睡的好,就是一种幸福!
说得好!
我二零一三的愿望!
Been feeling grumpy these days. I guess the thought of having to find a job is making me restless. Hopefully I'll find a job asap and cont enjoying the remains for my holidays in peace.
And ya, and practice hard for my piano performance. This is crazy. I'm not even half prepared. How to perform?
But I'm sure I can do it! No failures allowed.
*prays that I will find one soon*

Goodbye Yang Han, 有缘再见!
My blog has awkwardly high level of traffic. Definition of high = more than 2 daily..
Yes, that's very high for my blog.. Not to be bhb coz I'm quite sure those are spams and not people reading my blog.
Anyway, to those spammers, ya.. Hi, I know you are 'blogwalking'. Stop coming already lah! Want to put chatbox also scared of you all =/ (so sad right?)
Anyway, just a small update.. One of my students has left me =/
He has morning school classes and afternoon swimming classes and thus can't fit into any of my timeslots =/
Well, his name is Yang Han! I didn't even have the chance to say goodbye and he's being transferred away =/ A quiet and shy boy who never fails to greet me Miss Fu whenever I see him! A bit blur blur and always give me that 傻笑 look even when I ask him if he understands. Then he will nod his head, whether or not he understands. During teacher's day, he gave me a real rose which is super pretty!
Really a good boy with 心!
Hope you have a better tutelage under Qian Tong!
you will always be my good student, good boy <3
This goodbye has been too abrupt.
Well to end off,
Snoopy has a joke for you!
Yes, you are my love too! <3 <3 <3

Advice of the day!
Yes, no matter good or bad, keep moving! You won't fall unless you stop!
And yes, often pride is the one which made us go through all those unnecessary. Why not let it go and face the truth that you are not always the best of the lot?
Guess you will have an easier Life!
And of course,
Last but the MOST!
A motivational kiss from Snoopy <3
Jiayou Everyone! =D
*SMAK* <3

超能力
If one day, you have a choice of having a supernatural power to know what others are thinking, would you want it?
Sometimes im really curious of what people are thinking. It seems that some people's thoughts are really difficult to guess. But well, what excitement would life be if you know everythjng? Humans are actually bothersome creatures right? Like this also cannot, like that also cannot. Weird hor?
