Regrets. We all have it in our life. Have you ever regretted not studying hard enough for an important exam or not saying things that needed to be said? Yep that's what I mean.

As we grow older, we find that the only things we regret are the things we didn't do, and not the things that we did. Because things that we regret doing are usually the ones that taught us a valuable lesson. Those are the things that have helped to build our character and molded us to who we are today. However, brooding over things that you didn't do will only make you think of all the 'what-ifs'. All the different possibilities of how things could have turned out if you did something about it. Those things are probably not going to happen because you've already lost your chance.

I regret sleeping late last night because now I have two more pimples on my face. I regret not waking up earlier so I can have more time to get ready. I regret not leaving the house earlier so I wouldn't have missed my bus. I regret not charging my phone last night because now it's dead. I regret not packing my bag because now I can't seem to find my keys. These are the minor regrets that we have in our every day life, isn't it? But we seem to be able to get over it so easily.

I'm not perfect either. I have things in my life I wish I didn't do, because it seems to give people the wrong impression of who I really am. One of them is stealing. It was all in the name of fun back then in primary school but I don't see how "fun" it is now. Haha. I guess when you're young you do stupid things without considering the consequences. But hey, that experience taught me integrity. I also regret not spending enough time and staying in contact with people that I love. But that also showed me how important they were to me and I should cherish whatever I have now.

I think we should all get over our regrets and look that the opportunities that we have instead. Haha. I don't regret not studying hard enough for my O levels, because I got into RP and have met so many awesome people since then.

When one door closes, another door opens. But we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

See what I mean? :)

August's coming to an end soon, and I've quite a few things that I wish to blog about. I think.

First of all, YOG's officially over! (Y) I didn't regret signing up for this event even though we had to go through quite a number of "training sessions". It was all worth it I guess? Made quite a number of new friends and saw some familiar faces in the YOV during my duties. :)













I'll definitely remember the day Wan Ting and I had to dress up in this ridiculous fruity costume. Wan Ting, you owe me one sia. Haha.

Oh and I'm so happy for Shu Jun! Congrats bff! ;)

I've also started dancing again. Jas, Lini and I signed up for girl's hip hop at danzpeople and the first lesson was pretty good. Looking forward to spending more time with the girls. :)

I've been spending a lot of time with kkb recently. Very thankful for that. :) We caught like 3 movies in total this week. Step up 3d, she's out of my league(on my laptop) and grown ups. Grown ups is freaking awesome btw! Oh and something worth mentioning, we conquered Bukit Timah Hill on Thursday! Haha okay lah it might be nothing but it's a good start, no? :)

Saw this exhibition at the National Museum last Monday during the HTM field trip. One word - amazing.

"This is a reminder to people: humanity is easily blinded by a kind of collective mentality and action, and is destined to repeat such error to an almost unbelievable degree. The crux of this installation lies just before the glass wall, as the artist reminds people: invisible walls are the hardest to dismantle."

Chinese heritage food trail was awesome.

And sometimes, just sometimes, I wish I had a choice to decide if I want a Dad in my life. Because I don't feel like I have one. Shitty feeling.
