alicia, your lips say you've got Understated Charm
Whether you're delivering a sweet smooch or a well-chosen compliment, a kind and centered sweetie like you uses your lips to show how much you care. You're a great
listener who's got a knack for knowing what — and what not — to say.
Subtle and down-to-earth, you're not totally consumed by fussy fashions or high-maintenance beauty routines. We'd bet you're
most comfortable in simple styles that let your genuine self shine through. Seems just right for a go-with-the-flow gal like you!
haha. talk about accurate. x) wheee~ char koped from my blog!! haha. makes me feel my blog is so popular. LOL.

A young man learns what's most important in life
from the guy next door.
It had been some time since Jack had seen the old
man. College, girls, career, and life itself got in
the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the
country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush
of his busy life, Jack had little time to think
about the past and often no time to spend with his
wife and son. He was working on his future, and
nothing could stop him.
Over the phone, his mother told him, "Mr. Belser
died last night. The funeral is Wednesday."
Memories flashed through his mind like an old
newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood
days.
"Jack, did you hear me?"
"Oh sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It' s been so long
since I thought of him. I'm sorry, but I honestly
thought he died years ago," Jack said.
"Well, he didn't forget you. Every time I saw him
he'd ask how you were doing. He'd reminisce about
the many days you spent over 'his side of the fence'
as he put it," Mom told him.
"I loved that old house he lived in," Jack said.
"You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser
stepped in to make sure you had a man's influence in
your life," she said.
"He's the one who taught me carpentry," he said. "I
wouldn't be in this business if it weren't for him.
He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought
were important...Mom, I'll be there for the
funeral," Jack said.
As busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the
next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser's funeral
was small and uneventful. He had no children of his
own, and most of his relatives had passed away.
The night before he had to return home, Jack and his
Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one
more time. Standing in the doorway, Jack paused for
a moment. It was like crossing over into another
dimension, a leap through space and time. The house
was exactly as he remembered. Every step held
memories. Every picture, every piece of
furniture....Jack stopped suddenly.
"What's wrong, Jack?" his Mom asked.
"The box is gone," he said.
"What box?" Mom asked.
"There was a small gold box that he kept locked on
top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand
times what was inside. All he'd ever tell me was the
thing I value most," Jack said. It was gone.
Everything about the house was exactly how Jack
remembered it, except for the box. He figured
someone from the Belser family had taken it.
"Now I'll never know what was so valuable to him,"
Jack said. "I better get some sleep. I have an early
flight home, Mom."
It had been about two weeks since Mr. Belser died.
Returning home from work one day Jack disc overed a
note in his mailbox. "Signature required on a
package. No one at home. Please stop by the main
post office within the next three days," the note
read.
Early the next day Jack retrieved the package. The
small box was old and looked like it had been mailed
a hundred years ago. The handwriting was difficult
to read, but the return address caught his
attention. "Mr. Harold Belser" it read.
Jack took the box out to his car and ripped open the
package. There inside was the gold box and an
envelope. Jack's hands shook as he read the note
inside. "Upon my death, please forward this box and
its contents to Jack Bennett. It's the thing I
valued most in my life."
A small key was taped to the letter. His heart
racing, as tears filling his eyes,! Jack carefully
unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful
gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over
the finely etched casing, he unlatched the cover.
Inside he found these words engraved: "Jack, Thanks
for your time! - Harold Belser."
"The thing he valued most...was...my time."
Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called
his office and cleared his appointments for the next
two days. "Why?" Janet, his assistant asked.
"I need some time to spend with my son," he said.
"Oh, by the way, Janet...thanks for your time!"
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we
take but by the moments that take our breath away,"
Think about this. You may not realize it, but it's
100% true.
1. At least 2 people in this world love you so
much that they would die for you.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in
some way.
3. A smile from you can bring happiness to
anyone, even if they don't like you.
4. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before
they go to sleep.
5. You mean the world to someone.
6. If not for you, someone may not be living.
7. You are special and unique.
8. When you think you have no chance of getting
what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you
trust God to do what's best, and wait on His time,
sooner or later, you will
get it or something better.
9. When you make the biggest mistake ever,
something good can still come from it.
10. When you think the world has turned its back
on you, take a look; you most likely turned your
back on the world.
11. Someone that you don't even know exists,
loves you.
12. Always remember the compliments you
received. Forget about the rude remarks.
13. Always tell someone how you feel about them;
you will feel much better when they know and you'll
both be happy.
14. If you have a great friend, take the time to
let them know that they are great.
To everyone who read this: "Thank you for your time."
i've thought about it.. and u'll always be a part of my life. life carries on...

Hercules- Go the distance.
I have often dreamed
Of a far-off place
Where a great warm welcome
Will be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keeps saying
This is where I'm meant to be
I will find my way
I can go the distance
I'll be there someday
If I can be strongI know ev'ry mild
Will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere
to feel like I belong
I am on my way
I can go the distance
I don't care how far
Somehow I'll be strong
I know ev'ry mile
Will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere
to find where I belong
I will beat the odds
I can go the distance
I will face the world
Fearless, proud and strongI will please the gods
I can go the distance
Till I find my hero's welcome
Right where I belong

The Distance by Evan and Jaron.
The sky has lost its color
The sun has turned to grey
At least that's how it feels to me
Whenever you're away
I crawl up in the corner
As I watch the minutes pass
Each one brings me closer to
The time when you'll be back
You're coming back
I can't take the distance
I can't take the miles
I can't take the time
Until the next time I see you smile
I can't take the distance
And I'm not ashamed
That I can't take a breath whitout saying your name
But I can't take the distance
I can brave a hurricane
And still be standing tall
when all the dust has settled down
But I can't take the distance
I still believe in feelings
But sometimes I feel too much
I make believe you're close to me
But it ain't close enough
Not nearly close enough
I can't take the distance
I can't the miles
I can't take the time
until the next time I see you smile
I can't take the distance
And I'm not ashamed
That I can't take a breath
without saying your name
I can brave a hurricane
And still be standing tall
when all the dust has settled down
I can't take the distance
I can't take the miles
I can't take the time
until the next time I see you smile
I can't take the distance
And I'm not ashamed
That I can't take a breath without saying your name
And I can't take the distance
The distance

To the world you may be one person. but to one person you may be the world. (:life is full of choices. we seem to be always coming to a fork in whichever path we take. but there'll always be one where the light is shining through. God will show you the way,if you just believe and trust in him. (:life is full of ups and downs. what's important is not how high or how low you reach, but rather that you continue riding the waves no matter how hard it gets, and that you never let yourself sink.failure is the path to success, the will to press on is the way to succeed. if we don't try, we'll never know the full extent of what each of us are really capable of.it is only through failures that we can have success. if we always succeed, we forget what is failure and thus forget success.to believe that you have the power to fly, that you have the power to fulfill your dreams.. hope. the confident expectation of good things to come. if we lose hope, we can only fall into despair. when we have hope, we can reach the sky. (: i believe that together, we can and will succeed. it is not my strength, but yours working through me. lord, i trust in you.

SO RETARDED PLS! and it's like that type of really weird laughter and he made me start laughing. lol. anw mel brought us to her church first then her house.. den when we reached her church's youth centre everyone was like is this ur house??? haha. it's quite homely. (: anw her house is just across the road from her church la!! and after i came home my mum told me her house was like really near my grandma's house.. or wat was my grandma's house anw. and i didn't recognise the place at all!! and she said it's cos i nv went that way. haha.
anw me,melly,leen and manda stayed in mel's room and everyone else went to play soccer.. we danced,talked, tried to gossip and lay on her bed until we got like really hungry.. around 6.30?? den we went to her church to call them.. and they were still engrossed in their game. so we went into the playground where jacob and yisheng were.. we later found out that terry and derrick were scared of jacob so jacob had to stay in the playground. poor jacob. ): anw jacob is really BIG. and at first glance he's SCARY. cos he pants like REALLY LOUDLY and he's BIG. haha. but he's such a nice dog and he didn't drool on me!! haha. jacob is big and cute and fat. x))
anw while we were leaving, melly and manda spotted a snail crawling up the wall. and they wanted to get it down cos they wanted to scare amos with it. and they PULLED and it didn't want to come off. but somehow,it came off and from the looks of it it's body got SEVERED. ewwwww la. so gross. >< and then the two of them started screaming. haha. i think mel's churchmates think we're mad girls. haha. anw, melly got really sad there cos of some thing..

WAHHHH. T.T sorry sorry. ><
den after that they played the water game.. it's like u choose any card from this shuffled mess on the floor den u hold it to ur forehead.. u cannot see the card, only the others can.. den u choose whether u want to fill the tub with 1/2 cup, 1/4 cup or dun want to fill at all.. den after they fill den u can see ur card.. the one with the smallest card must drink EVERYTHING. which was quite a lot lor. anw, 2's the smallest, ace the biggest. kudos to li jian who drank the first bowl in which everyone was like fill the cup to the max!! haha. and poor nic was so full he vomitted. ouch. >< but then is water so is ok i guess.. but still it's damn uncomfortable.. i know. ><
