Love is red like a rose.
Love is green like the grass.
Love is the moment you don't want to pass.
Love is bright like the sun.
Love is wet like the rain.
Love is giving and losing and learning and pain.
Love smells fresh like flowers.
It's blue as the sky.
It's your smile when you laugh and your tears when you cry.
Love is soft like a baby.
It's rough like the sand.
Love is the feeling of holding a hand.
Love can't be brought.
For no price is it sold.
Love is the woman who's wrinkled and old.
It's the chirp of the birds as they sing to the trees.
It's sweet just like honey and sounds like the bees.
Love is a teddy bear missing its eyes.
Love comes in every shape, color and size.
Love is the boy who just lose his front tooth.
Love can grow old but it still keeps its youth.
Love is the friend that you always will miss.
Love's not uptight but a warm gentle kiss.
Love is hot chocolate on a cold winter day.
Love is the child that asked you to play.
Love sings not solo but sings in a pair.
Love is not selfish, it's something you share.
Love is the sickness we all want to feel.
Love is the Band-Aid that helps you to heal.
Love is accepting and caring and kind.
When you're not looking it's something you'll find.
When your beauty is gone, you are wrinkled and old.
You will always have love it can never be sold.
When you grow old, and after you're gone.
Your spirit will live through the love you've passed on.
Danielle Rosenllatt
I find this poem is especially meaningful because love really brings you good time, although it does brings you back bad memories, but always remember that bad experience will let you grow even more mature and be better for the next relationship.

Lessons In Life.
A chef is always seen as a perfectionist because they put their heart and soul not only into cooking the delicious dishes but also decorate it so as to let it look the best in front of the consumers. I just finished watching a variety show, "Ming Chu Shang Cai". This variety show showcases Singapore's famous chef who have been in the industry for more than a decade. Also, the chef not only have to performed their best in front of the camera but also would dedicate the dishes to someone that impact their life.
In this show, a particular chef dedicated the dishes to his mother who is an expert in tasting food. He told the host about how his life journey went before being one of the top chef in the world. He had been commented a lot by his mother. There's one occasion when there were reporters around tasting the food that he had prepared and the reporters were giving good comments on his food, but his mother criticised about it and said that the food is not up to standered in front of the reporters. He was furious by what his mother said as he was a chief chef in the restaurant and thought that his food is delicious. But after thinking for a few days, he accepted his mother's criticism and go on to seek for improvement. His hard work finally paid off and also, he won lots of awards from the food industry around the world. He add on by saying without his mother's criticism, he would not have the fame today.
The mother also told the hosts something which I find it meaningful and that is "People must learn to accept criticism and not think he/she is the best, because if he/she thought so, he/she would never improve." Sometimes, telling a lie is much more better than telling a truth, because the truth is often equipped pricks that would hurt you. However, by telling a lie, that particular person would not improve because he/she would think that he/she is the best.
Lastly, I reckon that telling the truth is good and one must learn to take criticism in order to move on in life. We must not be self-content with what we had today and must often seek for improvement. Although telling the truth may hurt you, but it would benefit you in the future. Do not let the 'short-term' joy cause you a lifetime suffering.

Myself.
Thoughts ran through my mind some other days. Friends around said that I'm a confident person who always give them advices on solving problems. However, my siblings thought of the vice versa and said that I'm always insecure as they saw me handling my relationship. Am I the confident boy that my friends labelled or am I just an insecure boy whom constantly seek for assurance? To me, I think I'm the latter and only friends who are really close to me will feel that.
Whenever I'm in class, I would crack jokes and do something stupid to humor the class. I would always shout out answers from my seat and participate in lessons enthusiastically sometimes, if the lesson is fun. I would sometimes throw tantrums if I felt unhappy and feel very emotional in class, if the class is noisy, I would shout to keep the classmates silent. All these shows that I'm not afraid to speak up if I'm unhappy or unsure of something. But when I stood in front of the class or just merely answering questions at my seat, I would shiver. I'm not into any kind of serious talks to anyone because I have stage-fright. I love to express myself but when there are many people looking at me, my confidence level would deteriorate. I would often tell others that no matter what happen, confidence is the most important, and as for me, I failed to show the confidence hidden inside me.
When it comes to handling relationship, I would often end being too possessive and as a result, failure for that relationship. Because I do not have the high self esteem in me. I know I'm someone who is below average looking and therefore, I felt insecure when my girlfriend talks to me about the other boy or being with them. I would get jealous easily and thoughts would stream through my mind, telling me that my girlfriend would leave me for a better looking boy. This comes to show that I'm someone who has low self esteem and also someone with little confidence.
Whenever I need to confide my problems, I would always login to IRC, so as to confide to some stranger as I reckon I could be my true self and say it all out. I'm trying my best to be as confident as possible and I reckon I would achieve it someday. I have confidence in myself and I must not let myself down!

"No Sacrifice, No Victory"
Every movie teaches us a lesson in life, be it a good one or a bad one. The writer of the movie sure have its own way to bring about telling us what he/she learnt in life, and that he/she wanted to share it with us by bringing it in a way that we would laugh, cry or even feel terrified. After watching "Transformer", a movie which showcases the robots in action by transforming from the non-living metals and fought with all might to save the planet called, Earth.
In this movie, a quote which they used and that I find it meaningful in life is "No Sacrifice, No Victory". It's very true as what the quote has stated. You can't gain anything when you don't feel the pain. For example, every children 1st step started off with falling down, every hardwork you put in resulted in the achievement you had now and every fall in a relationship keeps you stronger and better prepared for the next one. Therefore, when you are not prepared to sacrifice for what you want the latter results to be, you will not get it, thus I think its important to sacrifice.
Everyone view victory differently. Some people may think that earning twice as much today will make them 'fly up the sky' while the others might think that if they want to taste victory, they would need to earn more than twice as much today. Victory can make people happy, and no one loves to be defeated, being a victor doesn't mean that you will be victorious ever and this goes to the people who are defeated too.
Some people sacrifice life just because of that victory. Victory is dangerous as it would take the life of others, but victory can also be nice when you work hard to get it. Victory only comes when someone worked hard and does not hurt anyone in expense of that. Those who consider themself as a victor is someone who keeps their conscience clear. Therefore, when you want to be a victor, please sacrifice the right thing at the right time.
"No Sacrifice, No Victory" can be applied to all age range. A student needs to sacrifice his/her social life in order to score well in exams, a labour needs to sacrifice his/her time and effort in order to climb up the corporate ladder, and an old man/women needs to sacrifice eating their favourite food which is usually unhealthy in order to be a strong and healthy old man/women.
Hence make this quote a way of life and be successful in the near future.

What I would Remember most after leaving Secondary School.
When others told me that I would experience something that would affect my life drastically when I go to Secondary school, I refused to accept it. They told me that friends in Secondary school would be forever as they would go through lots of ups and downs with you in your life. After experiencing almost 5years in school, I finally agreed on what others said.
Still remember the day when I first set foot in the school, being one of the bigger size students in my Primary school, I was amazed because everyone was like a moving tower to me. I told myself that I'm no longer the student who goes around bullying others because the brothers here look strong and fierce. I remembered being bullied by those seniors and that was when I told myself that what others said was just bullshitting. I do not have any friends, nor do I have anyone who studied the same Primary school as me. I was depressed and down, but told myself I can make it through till the end of this education.
Secondary 3 was all about fun, by now, I got to know more friends and they became a pillar of strength and confidence to me. They are competitive but generous. They shared their notes so as to get good result as a whole and not just individually. They would help you if your results are bad and they would even go to the extent of forcing you to study despite whether you like it or not. When I got into trouble and show my temper, they are the one who are not afraid of you and constantly telling you to cool down. This is what I call true friendship, we grew up together in this little environment and walks the journey to be responsible adults. Nevertheless, when they ask me out to enjoy, I would always be a 'spoil-spot' and reject their offer because they are still a stranger to me and I'm always having negative thoughts about them.
Now I'm in the 'last lap' and reaching the 'finishing point' in 3months time, friends to me are very important. They constantly asked me out to study with them and we formed a study group. This study group consists of people who jokes around but serious at times, people who topped the cohort, people whose other subjects are in good grades and most importantly, people who are not selfish and teach you the right thing. These people in my study group are my best friends, we had fun together, cry together and also grow up together.
To me, these friends are very important, I will remember how they used to make fun of me, how we mugged during exam period, breaking down because of the stress level and most importantly, the encouragement that they gave me. Constantly telling me not to give up and always be there for me when I need them. These friends are friends that you would never find after you stepped into your next phase of education, these friends brought great impact in my life and also, because of them, I'm a better person now.
Thanks for being my friends despite throwing tantrums at you all, I enjoyed my Secondary school life, have you?
