you know when the year ends, and when people know that they will part. somehow all these autograph book frenzy comes and everyone else just starts crying and everything. and of course, some people like to put this friendship chart thing there.

but really, you know friendship charts aren't accurate. not at all. how can you, measure friendship or any other relationships that's so precious with percentage? you can't rate relationships. how are you going to rate unconditional love? and based on what you see? i think not. relationships, friendships, are like wind. you can't see wind. in fact, its almost impossible to see if that person loves you, not romantic love, but pure interhuman-love. its impossible. the person sitting next to you in class or at work now that you hate, might be the very person who loves you. this doesn't make sense?

think about it. have you ever loved someone but that particular someone doesn't like you. love cannot be defined, i know. so its more advisable to find your definition of love. its a personal thing, though yes, it is a universal language.

basically, in all relationships, love is always present. and it is impossible to see how much one love you just by looking at what that person do to you, or for you. though i must say, most people prefer to present and show their love by doing things for others etc. but i believe, that love is like wind. an invisible, yet invincible force. and this is the force that can do wonders. wind can cause hurricanes and you can't see a hurricane, you can only see the effects of the hurricane. like a car flying past, or fishes swimming in circles. love, you can only feel the effects of love.

to feel the effect for love can take a minute, an hour, a month, a year, a score of years or anything beyond. so do be patient to all those whom you love, be patient to all those who you do not like, because it is impossible to see someone and not love him.

while some people out there prefer to present out friendship charts or leave messages that will be forgotten in due time, i prefer leaving impressions. like i said, everything leave an impression. because there are things called 'brainhooks', i can't remember the scientific term for it, but its connectors in your brain. and that's how you remember things and how things leave an impression in you.

the more brainhooks you have on a certain subject, the longer you will remember it.

to all those out there who are still trying to impact or change lives, in your profession, or as a volunteer or as a mission worker, dont fret. because whatever you do, whatever you say leave a impression in others. and keep doing, don't stop. because the more brainhooks you connect within someone, the nearer you are to reaching your goal.

library trip was lousy. mum told me that they will be opening a bigger yishun library beside northpoint and i hope that it will be much better. there're not enough books in this branch right now and even the librarians, i dont see a lot of them showing enthusiasm. i felt so...disheartened that i left the library in 15min, of course with some books to keep me occupied till tomorrow, when i go to woodlands library.

i borrowed 2 Steel's and 2 other books. those lousy ones that entertain you for awhile and when you put it down to carry on with your life, you are jerked out of fantasy and you start being so disheartened. i prefer books that gives me something to bring with me for the rest of my days.

by the way, regarding the top most section of this post, do take note: english, unlike math, or science, should not be taken literally.
