OKay. update of my life!!! :D
wah this blog the skin quite hard to see... shall change it soon.

went for band for the whole of last week! it was quite tiring but also very fulfilling la... learned new warmup techniques from Brenson, and it kind of motivates me to be a better player in a way..

other than that, went to gym with Gladys as well. it was fun! with her and her friends. Ryan, Law, TS, Raynold, Desmond, Wenhui, Shook yi, Yan yu, Samuel, got one girl i forgot the name....... oops.

really hope that going for gym will help! and also i have been eating quite healthily. like don't really feel like eating at night which is a good thing!

hmm, what else... many projects due. But thank God for my lovely group, amanda, joie, darius, jerry. they are really fun and dependable. Especially joie. and recently darius just broke his leg so kept getting free ride from him home LOLOL!

How to love a friend

How to love a friend? i realize that i can be quite a bad friend sometimes, and i really need to learn how to love a friend and be a good friend to others.

How to love a friend

1. Understand friendship
- respect, accept and appreciate each other
- fully accepting another individual

2. Learn how to be a good friend
- don't take this friendship for granted
- put your friend's needs ahead of yours
- be available for your friend even if its inconvenient for you
- be the kind of friend you would like to have

3. Resolve conflicts in your friendship
- don't be afraid to talk about it
- put yourself in your friend's shoe
- keep your tone conversational and respectful

4. Protect and respect your friend
- commit to caring for his emotions and supporting him
- protect friend from own selfishness
e.g. if you really wanna see this new movie, you know your friend has an early appointment, don't pressure them. instead support your friend and reschedule for a more convenient time to see the movie (UNDERSTAND THEM LIKE HOW U WANNA BE UNDERSTOOD)

5. Respect your friend
- even when he's not around
- avoid starting gossipy conversations be firm in redirecting or stopping such discussions if they start (learn from nigel, see the good in everyone)
- your friend should be able to trust you with his vulnerabilities
