1. Stop comparing yourself to others. People achieve success and fail at different rates.
2. You’re not as fat as you think. Besides, your body fat percentage has no bearing on what makes you a quality human being.
3. Exercise because it is good for your soul and not solely for your outward experience. Appreciate your body and all the things it can do. Stop picking it apart — you will never achieve perfection.
4. Find something at which you excel. Maybe you are really amazing at working with kids and you just don’t know it yet.
5. Spend more time with your girlfriends or guy friends. Relationships may come and go, but friends are forever — cherish that.
6. Spend time alone. It’s okay if you want to stay home on a Friday night, catch up on your DVR and eat froyo because you’ve had an exhausting workweek.
7. Read that book you’ve been meaning to read. In fact, read as many books as possible. Reading expands the imagination and sharpens the mind.
8. Spend time outside. Discover a new trail or a mountain to hike. Soak up the sun.
9. Take a lot of pictures. Take way too many and don’t forget to print them. Don’t let them just sit in your phone memory.
10. Let go of the past. Forgive the people who hurt you so that YOU can move on. Carrying around anger only poisons you.
11. Reunite with old friends from high school, college and your past in general. Let go of friendships that no longer serve you. People grow apart; it’s natural and it’s okay.
12. Call your friends and family more often; don’t just follow them on social media. Remember when we used to have to call or meet up with people to hear their voices? That experience is so much richer.
13. Resolve the issues you might have with your family. Tell them you love them. Show up to family events and don’t have something better to do.
14. Take vitamins because you want to be the healthiest version of yourself. Unless you want to be cranky and lethargic all day, make sure you get enough iron.
15. Treat yourself to something you want but don’t need. Whether it’s a fancy designer purse you’ve been eyeing for years or a plane ticket to the destination of your dreams, remember how fine the line between saving and living is. Toe it.
16. Care about your appearance — not in a vain, superficial way. Care about how you look, so you can feel great when you leave the house. But, if you feel like wearing sweatpants and your hair in a bun to the grocery store once in a while, go f*cking do it.
17. Watch that movie or that Netflix series you’ve been meaning to see.
18. Be active. Exercising regularly releases endorphins and contributes to your level of happiness and will help you feel better about yourself.
19. Pick up a hobby. My roommates and I ordered paint-by-numbers from Amazon. It made me feel creative and allowed for some roommate bonding time.
20. Save up money and travel somewhere new. Try the sunrise at the top of Mount Haleakala in Maui. You will literally feel like you are in heaven.
21. Laugh at yourself. If you trip over your feet or realize your shirt is on inside out, don’t worry about it and make it a joke.
22. Do karaoke. Do it sober. Do it drunk. Sing. I read somewhere that the more you sing, the happier and healthier it will make you.
23. Eat less processed food. If you actually knew what was in that sh*t, you would be disgusted. Watch the documentary “Food Inc.” But, if you want to have fries, with extra, extra ranch sometimes, do it.
24. Dance. Freak Dance. Weird Dance. Make up a dance routine with your friends like you did when you were 12. Stop caring about what you look like. Have fun.
25. Smile more. The more you smile, the happier you will feel. It makes others happier, too — trust me.
26. Do favors and don’t expect anything in return from the kindness in your heart.
27. Guard your heart, but be open. Don’t let people take advantage of you.
28. Be less judgmental. “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”
29. Look up at the sky. Realize that sunsets are gorgeous. Look at the stars, as they’re pretty incredible, too.
30. You will never be able to please everyone. Not everyone will like you. You won’t like everyone you meet. That’s perfectly fine also.
Love yourself. Enjoy the live you have been given, and embrace each day with open arms as the best version of you.

“You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.”
I guess its really true.
It's now or never.
Do things you've always wanted but never the courage to.
Try new things, step out of your comfort zone.

有人因為看見一朵花而得到快樂，因為她珍惜她所擁有的而已經滿足。有人就算擁有一整片花園卻感到不快樂，因為她心中渴望得到她不能擁有的，而忽略了現在擁有的。
人之所以不快樂，因為總是追求一些自己不能擁有的，而忘了自己現在所擁有的已經是別人眼中至高無上的快樂。
Just something comment I came across on FB(:

Its been such a long time since I've sincerely blogged.
I think I just do not have the mood or something.
But that doesn't mean I should abandon my blog that had been with me for years.
I guess the things that's on my mind is my results.
Gotten it 2weeks ago I think.
I shld be happy with it shldnt I?
Parents told me that its good enough already.
But I know it myself.
I didn't put in 100% effort (as usual)
This sem GPA I got 3.7
1B, 2B+, 2A and 1 Distinction.
Mark Tan (Big) told me that I shld at least get all A and 1B+..
Did I fail him?
Is this results not good enough?
I can't really discuss this with anyone.
The results are really not bad if you consider how much time I spent studying and playing.
But I really feel that the results is still far from good.
I see people getting GPA 4..
And I feel that I shld be able to get GPA 4.0 too..
I really can't see myself getting poor results.
Cause people around me just feel that I SHOULD get good results.
Or maybe its only me.
Competitive? Complacent? Or just plain greedy?
我应该要学会知足。
I guess its something that Joyce once blogged about.
Something about us being having good results for PSLE and enrolled in TMS.
Something about getting from being TMS to the current school now.
People around you just expects more from you.
Saying TMS is a good school so the people there is smart.
There's no reason that you can't score well.
Or maybe its in our mind.
Like TMS is a better school.
That I'm from a better school so I have to get better results if not people will look down on us.
I think I just want to be good in one aspect.
I have no musical talent, I can't do nuts about sports.
So the very least I can do is excel in studies.
If I can't even do well in studies, I'm really good for nothing.
Or is it that's what I want people to think? Like..
"This girl is smart"
"She's good at studying"
But I think the most impt point is Uni.
I'm angry at myself for not be able to focus enough during the exams.
I know that to be able to get into a good Uni is GPA of 3.8
I got 3.7
Its just that one small bit of effort more.
I feel that I've failed.
My dad is working his butt off to pay for my fees.
All he want is for me to go Uni and finish my degree and start working.
Now that I can't even get to a good Uni really gets me down.
I know the COP for my course is 3.3
But I want to get into a good Uni.
In sg, w/o a good cert you can barely survive.
That's the reality that I must face.
时间真的会证明一切吗？
还是会摧毁一切呢？
