Lately, I have no idea why I am encountering this phrase...
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
This quote is so true. Your beautiful. I'm beautiful. And its not because we have dead jaw-dropping looks or those awesome body curves. It's what lies in the inside of you.
Some of my close friends tell me all the time, "I'm ugly." Or "I'm not pretty".
I sigh each time upon hearing those comments; and I'm trying so hard to convey this very message. It is not how flawless your face is. Its not about the clothes you wear, or the make up you use.
It's about the heart. As long as you have any of these, your definitely beautiful!
The 10 golden rules about being beautiful(according to Fi):
1. Kind
2. Talented
3. Cute( Incase you search the dictionary, I don't mean ugly and adorable. I mean genuine cute)
4. Sweet
5. Intelligent
6. Good hearted
7. Patient
8. Bold, confident
9. Caring
10. Gentle and soft spoken
Did you realise that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes by the way?
Yes, I'm talking about thin, and the cuddly ones too.
Beauty is the insight of us. Something that outshines to the external surface.
It's our identity, and not a mimic.
We cry all the time, thinking that we're not good enough. We don't have the perfect body, or face.
But, its not true. Your heart matters most.
In any circumstances, I for one feel that we shouldn't go based on the exterior.
Imagine someone who isn't that all great; but with an admired spirit.
After staring much longer, you'll see that beauty.
Notice that life is always solely based on the surface. But, I suggest that you take a closer look. I mean, believe me or not. It will happen.
What's beauty without a heart of gold? Don't lie that you wouldn't like someone to treat you with love. Don't lie to yourself that you only want the beauty of a person who rips your heart apart.
Cause we all know that life is not merely about being noted most pretty person but Beautiful.
Both outward and inward.
To people with low self esteem, Don't be discourage. If no one notices you now, don't be devastated. Don't cry. Be proud of yourself and lift your head held high.
Everyone is special and unique. It's only a matter of when we discover ourselves.
Life's a challenge. Life's to make you beautiful. Your life means something. Embrace yourself and never give up.
Your beautiful, and you know it :)

The Fear I overcomed...
If you asked me to speak in front of a large crowd some time ago... I would say this: NO WAY!!
Here goes:
26th March 2010
Last rehearsal before my life and death(don't forget, I'm a stage fright person). It all begin when I read the news and decided to try myself at a challenge. People always quote that facing your fears will enable you to overcome them.
Anyway, I always think that it's best to hide. So people wouldn't laugh at me. Don't like to be sneered or gossiped at for one thing. Which made me actually lose the guts to try.
But my teacher, Ms.J was really encouraging. :) Thanks teacher.
We had practices the weeks before; and I pretty much enjoyed myself.
Today's the last day of practise. All nerves chill and I'm becoming more nervous.
That goes for my brain too. It freezes and... BaaM!! No information coming out. Now you know my defination of stage fright.
It's night, and I'm surprised that I actually feel tired enough to shut my eyes a few minutes after getting to bed.
27th March 2010
Good morning.. And today's kinda a big day for me... In case you missed it, I HAVE STAGE FRIGHT!! There... I said it.
Gathered out of the hall. Its time to get into the waiting room. We feel really nervous and even worst when everyone else just seem to look so serene. Keish thinks we should all pray. So we do.
The competition goes like this...(I forgot to mention though its public speaking. )
We get called according to the name list. And again, sometimes I wonder why my name begin with an 'F'. ( I do like my name alot, don't get mistaken)
I get 30 minutes to write up and present right after.
God, please give me a good topic. Please don't make me get a shorter life...
"LIFE"
My topic of the day is life. There's so many things to say. Where to begin?? I start writing up my scripts and little notes. My brain can't think again. Process Fi!! I tell myself.
Tick tock!Tick tock!
And next from Penang Chinese Girls High School.....
Crap, my turn is up!!
*Clearing throat*
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, my topic today is 'life'. Are you breathing right now? Are you living right now? In science we learn that an ovum fuses with and egg to form an embryo. After several months, the first heart beat of the embryo is known as... Life...
(Blablabla...I can't mention the whole thing here though)
As I was speaking, I tried to look into the audience eyes. I try not to refer to my notes. But, I got too nervous that I nearly forgot all my points. I repeated slightly. Just to keep the flow going.
End.
Audiences applaud, my teacher smiles at me.
Skipping to the results, didn't quite make it to the finals. I have no idea why everyone thinks I'm sad about it. In fact, I'm really quite satisfied already.
It took more than guts to take the stand and continuously utter without faltering and stopping and running down the stand. But, I did!! I finally finished til the word 'Thank you'.
I never knew that I would actually stand up a crowd and hear myself finally end.
I did it! if only dad and mom were here to celebrate the moment with me.
To me, it's not about the winning. It's that I finally learnt to overcome my fears.
I could speak in a crowd. My own victory. That's what matters most.
You don't have to be a champion, cause your already a winner.
To those out there who are reading, fear comes in every way. Sometimes, we just need to believe in ourselves to overcome them.
So, start believing and you'll make it through!
That's from me for now.
Cheers!!

The sight...
Staring straight into the screen. My eyes are hurting badly.
Maybe it is due to the lack of sleep I had last night. The stress is on my eyes just to make sure that I get to finish reading before I'm back to my hectic life.
Been trying to chill lately, but things seem to mount up.
Finally, I think it's time to blurt out everything.
The scent of my hair is currently a replica of tar..(and I literally meant tar as in tar from the tree..herb kind of thing.)
Current update, removing my spectacles and glaring out of the window is not anywhere near my list.
It's been almost more than a month since I strained my eyes. It would tire out easily and sometimes it just makes me so frustrated.
From almost not seeing speeding cars ahead on the road to running into the walls. And that is just barely the beginning. Numerous times I would miss a step or get out from somewhere with a blue black on my knee.
Sometimes I feel like leashing it out ..
People think I'm being negligent or pretending to be lazy. But that's really not the point.
The fact is, people don't really understand.
Without my glasses, everything is merely like a faded scrap of painting.
Faces can't be recognised unless brought to closer look.
I bet I'll actually slip into the drain if I hadn't any on.
As I'm writing now, the light is piercing fiercely.
During the day, it's just light beaming sharply and blinding my sights.
Everything turns grey black for awhile . And my pupils are left stunned from closing suddenly.
Sometimes, the view is lovely when accompanied by natural sounds.
Sometimes, people keep pasturing me into doing lasers.
This isn't braces... ( I tell them)
It's not something you can change overnight. There are internal risks and the possibilities of facing eye damage or blindness.
Even if that's not the case, a laser is still a knife that slices through.
I'm not afraid of the pain.
I know that it will bounce back to consequence number one..that is BLINDNESS
But doctors will deny them. Effects will happen many years later. And eventually, blindness it still the case.
I'm rather grateful that I can still see. And that there is the invention of glasses.
However, my prayers are that, one day...
I will get to see the world from a different perspective. Perfectly...
I'm looking forward for a miracle.
