today was... enjoyable, yet entirely horrible.
the enjoyable part was :
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEN BEN!!
it's ben's birthday today. we got him a mango cake (THANKS EDI, IT WAS LOVELY), then kalai and i got him a gift.. 2 gifts actually. a pair of flip flops from new urban male (which he kept nagging for) and a pencil box (which he also kept nagging for). he's using the pencil box now in school, we had the handover ceremony right before GP. haha. good bye old OP pencil box, HELLO MYUK. haha. then joshua splattered a slice of cake all over ben's face. hahahaha. i was like: OH MAN.. THERE GOES A PERFECTLY GOOD PIECE OF CAKE.
hahaha, what the heck. all in the name of good fun.
the bad part came.. sigh... i don't really wanna mention it or talk about it.. it's just too..tiring. i just hope people don't judge one another by what has happened. and you know FORGIVE AND FORGET.
there's this saying.. by Henry Ward Beecher: "I can forgive, but i cannot forget; is only another way of saying, i will not forgive. forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note - torn in 2, and burned up so that it can never been shown against one."
there's another one by Thomas Fuller: "he that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself, for every man has need to be forgiven."
sometimes, some things are better left unsaid, as Einstein said: "if A = success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z, X is work. Y is play. Z is keeping your mouth shut."
i'm not taking sides by saying KEEPING YOUR MOUTH SHUT. it goes for both sides.
to you, that person may not have had the right to peach on everyone, to that person, you had no right to do what you'd done.
both parties should fully accept the consequences of their own actions like mature beings. no point cursing and swearing. what's done's done.
i just want people to stop brooding over it all.
life is too important to be taken so seriously, and it can be summed up in 3 words: it goes on.
so let's just stop all this nonsense and grow up.
no need for revenge, no need for hatred or anger. just...
STOP.
what iAMY has to sing, has been heard.
