First few days...

of orientation, dorm and college.

I felt rather lonely to be honest. Maybe I am the reserved type of person as I am still unable to break the silence within me. I feel fake and not sure whether I am on the right track in meeting new people, presenting myself in a new environment. I did try to talk but I know I am not the talkative type of person as I think I struggle to converse with people. I feel quiet and awkward. Is it normal? Or maybe I am thinking too much.

And, I think I miss home already.

Wise words, "I have learnt that..."

I have learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems to be, life does go on and it will be better tomorrow.

I have learned that you can tell a lot about a person by he/she handle these three things: a rainy day, a lost luggage and tangles Christmas tree lights.

I have learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you will miss them when they are gone from your life.

I have learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as making a 'life'.

I have learned that life sometimes give you a second chance.

I have learnt that you should not go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back.

I have learnt that whenever I decide with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

I have learnt that even when I have pains, I do not have to be one.

I have learnt that everyday you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug or just a friendly pat on the back.

I have learnt that I still have a lot to learn.

I have learnt that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
