"Smile is infectious, you can catch it like flu" - Unknown Author

Probably the best picture of me smiling

Whenever I walk down the town with a bunch of friends, I would always notice one or two absolute random strangers throwing smiles or even wave at me. While being puzzled, I would always throw my brightest smile back at them before asking one of my friend about their identity. Most of the time, I would get "I don't know them, I thought he/she's your friend". On a particular similar occassion, a friend told me, "It's because you always wear that smile wherever you go" It struck me. It was actually them who replied my smile...

Seeing their friendly smile, I was amazed on how powerful a smile can be. A smile can actually turn two absolute strangers into best friends (although just for a mere moment). As much as it puzzles me on how those strangers would smile at me, their sincere smile would always successfully brighten up my day. It is as if they are reminding me that life is good, that there's always room for happiness. And I thought to myself that maybe that was the whole reason they replied my smile.

"Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day" - P.S. I Love You

P/S: I will put myself on smile campaign. Starting today to next month, I will smile whenever, wherever, whatever the situation is. I will also put this small little fellow =) in every single of my text messages. Because I believe people look their best when they are smiling. Any one of you fellow readers interested to join in?

Fun Fact:

Smiling actually releases endorphins, natural pain killers, and serotonin, the 3 things that can biologically help brighten up your mood. Smiling is probably the cheapest drug for depression ever.

What to type already?

Dream will remain a dream. Hope will remain as what?

Obviously, we are bored with this quote; everything happens for a reason. It has gotten to the point we have to stick it to our mind as a what again? REMINDER!

"Hold up... hold on... don't be scared
You'll never change what's been and gone
May your smile... Shine on... Don't be scared
Your destiny may keep you warm." - Oasis

Flatter me and I may not believe you. Criticize me and I may not like you. Ignore me and I may not forgive you. Encourage me and I will not forget you. Love me and I may love you.Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait.Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save.
Before you die, give.

Shopping is cheaper than a psychiatrist :). Boom Boom Pow .

Internet is my life

Ok, i must admit that internet is an important thing in my life!!
I mean, in everyone life too! >.<

I feel lifeless without internet,
I feel boring without internet,
I feel i'm out without internet,
I feel like i'm not a part of the world without internet,
I feel that i'm not JAN without internet!!!!

For a stalker like me, no internet = no life!!!
Seriously, I can't believe that i can survive through these few weeks without internet.

People. please be grateful if you have internet access, dun feel regret after you loss it!! T.T

The End of the Beginning

First of all, this post goes out to all those who have graduated. The past week has all been about graduation! Another batch of us has now graduated and the start of a new journey will soon come. For now I guess its all about fun and enjoying the time off, no more worries about exams and assignments!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last post by Lenz talked about going to beach, and yet we haven't. The weather in Newcastle has been "Shite" (my attempt so sound geordie). Summer is not summer and I think Newcastle has only one season all year round - miserable is what you should call it! I know a whole bunch of you will agree with me. A sunny day would eventually be ruined by horrible rain.... ARGH!

Anyway, time will soon come when there will be a bunch of friends leaving us again! I know I will devastated when it happens...... tears will be shed and I will definitely be one of them who will shed buckets!!!

Personally, this is what attracts me to a beautiful photo, something that tells a story. A beautiful photo without a story is just that - a beautiful photo. You may argue that art is objective and that beauty is relative and even inject the cliche that a picture is worth a thousand words.

A universal philosophy - I do not contest this.

But a little caption to it or even a short, exclusive title offers viewers a little insight to what the photographer was thinking when the picture was taken. Yes, a picture does say a thousand words...but a picture with a little story (caption)or a title, a sort of cohesive narrative, helps you understand the emotions, the motives, the passion of the composition.

Oh, I've digressed. Okey, I'll stop with the cliches...Below's a little "giggle-bite" you might enjoy:



p/s : we really shud head to the beach init Heaton(ers)?? Tynemouth puhlease. Whitley Bay banned *pulls a pityful smile* Tynemouth because ceng ceng ceng..........


Indeed pictures are worth a thousand words ^_^*

~~toodles~~ chillax all !

.:what do I say:.

Me in 40 yrs?? hahaha.. then my name would be Ms. Channel lol..

Today, the clouds were grey and solemn. The rain poured down with a ferocity that would put Niagara Falls to shame (okay, maybe I am exaggerating, but its hardly ever that Newcastle gets such heavy rain!) and it was quite a chilly day- not very nice. oh well... bonjour July :)

the summary of a little bit of everything: I moved out of 90 Malcolm Street. Thank you very much Kingsley, Eugene and Szue May for lending a helping hand. Its barely a week and I miss that HOME so much:the kitchen, toilet, my room ... just ALL. Residing at 24 Healton Walk now, not quite adjusted yet boohoo. Been wanting to head to the beach for picnic but........ (the weather has been realy naugthy here). C.Ronaldo moved to Real Madrid- am I sad? I digress but hey I m still a red-devil for life. Michael Owen's moved to Man.Utd was really shocking and so was the death of the late King of Pop.

Anyhoo....i'll leave you peeps with things to ponder :)

Anyone ever felt caught between a chasm - of being in a state of blissful contentment and at the same time, wanting, yearning, burning for so much more?

Ever felt like you could do pirouettes and spin all day long and at the same time, discovering that you need to take it one turn at a time?

Ever felt so confident and capable at picking up a task, but turn around one minute crying like a baby for you do not feel adequately equipped?

For what it's worth, all these feelings make me feel real. More real than the pain I feel when I kick my toe against the bed more real than the feel of a raindrop on my forehead, more real than the feeling of green grass on my bare feet.They help me understand that I am nothing without Him, that I am merely a vessel, an instrument.

And a line to share ..... a still tongue makes a wise head
