Schizophrenia



Became quite interested in this topic recently
Was amazed by the symptoms that patients actually suffer from
1 in 100 people in this world experience this illness
Why wouldn't you know someone with this illness?
"Cause they often live in isolation and they are homeless, unsupported and helpless"

I couldn't imagine the feeling of having this illness but definitely realise the devastation it may bring
Human brain, the most complex organ in the body
It governs what you do, either voluntary (your movement) or involuntary (your guts motion)
And yet, it's still not fully understood

The movie "Butterfly Effect" kinda show the idea of it but not quite
Nevertheless, it's a nice movie that somehow gives us in-sight of how a mentally ill person lives his life
All of us undergo the emotions of depression, anxiety and more
How are these classified? I wonder...
Again, although drugs are useful in their own way, HAPPINESS is still unarguably the best medicine in the world.

Wouldn't it be cool if I can prescribe "Happiness" to patients that are suffering?
I wished that I have this ability~
Well at least, to bring joy and happiness to the people around me ^^

Beautiful Sunday!!!

After a good night sleep, gym, great lunch and some studies...
Now is the time to revisit my memory and note down the beautiful moments!

Holiday just started  a few days ago and now, I'm enjoying every moment of it
Something special this holiday is that I'm enjoying it in a way that I normally wouldn't do in the past
Live everyday to the fullest?
Certainly!
I'm starting to have a bit of self-consciousness
By saying so, I actually spent some good hours to study in the library for the past few days
Realising the fact that I lived normal uni weeks IDENTICAL to holidays
Given that I only need to spend very little time going to lectures and tutorials throughout the week
I decided this is the time to make a difference in my life, lol!!
Time to catch up some studies~
Magically, this felt so inspiring and I'm so motivated, rather unbelievable
I really must admit that I lived my usual uni life TOO RELAX
I'm so relieved that I finally realised that studying at home is no more a good solution
My bad, I just can't concentrate ENOUGH to study productively at home
Blessed enough, library is just about 10 mins walk away from home
Given that the weather has been better, there's no excuse to not take that 10 mins walk!
And yea, I love library! It just make you study~
That's the first FULLNESS of my holiday.

Church on Sunday!
Although I'm not a Christian, going to church and singing praise and worship songs are nothing new and rare to me
As most of my buddies are from church and basketball...
So, it's holiday and basketball would be on that evening
Why not spend the whole day together with my fellow teammates and get over to the court together?
The service session was like any other session, singing praise and worship songs and listening to the preaching of the pastors
I must say that I found it refreshing every time singing praise and worship songs, it gives me peaceful time to think about what I've done throughout the week and also make myself promises to become a better person, silently to myself while the music play along softly
I guess friends and this refreshing moments are the two things that made me keep coming back to CCM
After the service, we had lunch and started to chit chat, of course we talked about the game that was gonna happen last night
And then, adults went on to their classes respectively
That left me and PinYang, with a few hours of time to spare
Instead of sitting there and watch NBA videos
We decided to go play with a few kids, who have nothing to do and a few hours to spare as well
"How about, we play Hide n Seek??" said a cute girl Ally
Yea why not?
So, 6 of us, Ally, Sinead, Nicholas, Maria, PinYang and me
We played hide n seek, a game that I haven't played for years (maybe since high school)
The building was quite a big one, but spacious
Hiding wasn't an easy thing to do, especially for me, with the size and all -.-'''
We divided ourselves into two teams
Me, Maria and Sinead
PinYang, Ally and Nicholas
Maria and Sinead are just two super cute girls, 4 years old little girls
As you can imagine, very active and adorable!
I love kids but hardly have time to spend together with them
And yesterday, the amount of stuff that 4 years old girls know about just stunned me!
So clever, yet innocent
That's what make them so loveable and cute
They like to look you in the eye and seek for your attention all the time
One thing that makes them cuter is that they are so obedient and they listen to what adults say...
"No hiding in the kitchen and toilet"
"No playing with the lift"
There was once we hided in the lift, and when we were getting out of the lift
They asked me to go out first from the lift because...
"We will get scolded if we play with the lift..."
LOL!!!
The way they said it totally melted my heart......or I'm just too easy to be melted??! haha!!
And your praises would make them so so so happy that you couldn't imagine
The hide n seek game was so fun as we found so many places to hide, even in a rather spacious building
I think we spent almost an hour and a half playing the same game, changing sides when one team got caught, and we never got bored, that's the amazing part!
The story doesn't just stop here...there's more later...

Ever wonder why girls tend to think more than boys?
They started young!!!
Once again, they ask question that could melt your heart easily
And draw your sympathy straight away
There's this little girl who wonders why her mother is not with her always
Looking into her eyes, I felt the need of the love from a mum by a little girl
And she's confused, while I'm not sure as well
What can I do???
But to console her and tell her some random 'nice' reasons why
Deep inside her eyes, I can see her confusion, still, after nodding her head repeatedly
Poor thing...can do nothing but just to bring some momentarily happiness for her

And of course, the match that night, as awesome as ever!
We all played well, we cheered out loud, we hustled~
HCFA!!!

more to come...just wanna have some quality time to write them down!!!!!!
