im in this melancholic mood at the moment somehow haha. anyway things seem so overwhelming at the moment that im not sure whether i'll be able to pull through. at the end of the day, i realise that there's nobody that i trust enough to confide in. must be the cynic in me that tears me apart. i realise why chinese short stories always talk about the night. to me, night represents a safe haven, where i dream the dreams i want to, the only thing is that halfway through, school beckons and jolts me from my sleep. how ironic. anyway, i had the honour of interviewing mr ivan oh today, and he said something really really meaningful.
"Don’t always be so inward looking, extend your hand out to help others cause in the process of giving, I actually become happier than them! So don’t always think of self-self okay?" - Mr Oh
i guess its self-explanatory. point taken mr Oh.
when you build ur happiness at the expense of others, it will collapse someday.
when you build happiness for others, it'll benefit urself too.
if you build happiness for urself and others at the same time, you'll have a mountain high of smiles, laughter and tenderness.
