Amanda's belated birthday Celebration
Yesterday was quite an eventful day for me
However, it is more special day for Amanda, as we helped her to celebrate her belated birthday.
I went 2 AWWA for soccer training in the morning. The training was quite fun, but I am still weak in shooting with power. I guess I have to work harder.
At 11+, went for guitar lesson. Andrew joined in guitar lessons for the first time. Daniel taught Andrew the fundementals of the guitar, while me and Amanda were taught new skills on playing the guitar by Justin, another of the volunteer teacher. Wad we need now is to practice and practice..
However these were not the focal point of yesterday's activities. The focal point is when we all went out to celebrate Amanda's belated birthday after that. She was to be the star of the day..
Philip, Ting Jun took a cab down to AMK Hub to meet Yuan Ping to buy the cake for Amanda.
Amanda, Me and Janice travelled to, coincidentally, AMK Hub to have our lunch. Since we wanted to use Yuan Ping as a surprise element for Amanda, My mind was like very worried that Philip they all will meet us at the same time. I kept my fingers crossed tt that wont happen. But, it wasnt to be...
We 3 went Macdonald's settle our lunch. After a while, Philip, Yuan Ping and Ting Jun came to find us at Macdonald's with the cake to celebrate for the birthday girl, Amanda. At around the same time, I presented her with her birthday gift.
We then went to the KBox(Janice, me, Ting Jun, philip, Yuan Ping and...Amanda). KBox-ed from 4-7pm. Had alot of fun. The star(Amanda) was mic-shy at first but we all persuaded her to sing using the mic instead of manually singing. When she finally shake off the shyness, the rest of us was indeed not surprised tt she can sing not only well, but very well.
Out of the songs that we sang, i tink that two songs was very meaningful and (i should say)touching 2 the occasion, namely 童话 and 朋友. For 童话, the song was specially sang and dedicated to the birthday girl, Amanda. I felt that the lyrics of this song was touching, in the sense that it tells abt self confidence and trust among those close to you. No matter what difficulties you have, we, yr friends, will always 支持你. For 朋友, I felt that the lyrics of this song was quite meaningful, as it says about friends in a simple way, in a way tt yr true friends will always help and support you.
童话
忘了有多久
再没有听到你
对我说你最爱的故事
我想了很久我开始慌了
是不是我又做错了什么
你哭着对我说
童话里都是骗人的
我不可能是你的王子
也许你不会懂从你说爱我以后
我的天空星星都亮了
我愿变成童话里你最爱的那个天使
张开双手变成翅膀守护你
你要相信
相信我们会像童话故事里
幸福和快乐是结局
朋友
风也过雨也走
有过泪有过错
还记得坚持甚麽
真爱过才会懂
会寂寞会回首
终有梦终有你在心中朋友一生一起走
那些日子不再有
一句话一辈子一生情一杯酒
朋友不曾孤单过一声
朋友你会懂
还有伤还有痛
还要走还有我
After which, we all went for a slow walk around AMK, and went to find an area 2 rest, while talking. There was also the place which Amanda opened up her present, live in the camera. (pictures up if i can get them) I hope Amanda liked the bear haha..
Some words for Amanda:
P.S: see wad philip wrote for u in his blog in Chinese, i going to translate into English in my blog.
Firstly, wad u experience in school, I am able to understand and feel the feelings which u are feeling, having gone through them myself. I believe that you are not the only one that is facing it. So thus, I tink you are definitely not alone. The relationships and feelings that we share together as close friends is invaluable.
After sharing and enjoying a few years of friendship, even though we may not be on the same wavelength at times, this relationshp and friendship which we enjoy til today will gain strength, and the bonds which hold us together wont be easily broken.
I tink you personally would be tinking of this question: Why is that the ignorance would happen to you, and not everyone. Well, I guess that we are together in this kind of situation. So i tink that the only way you can cope with it, is that to noe that you are definitely not alone. Moreover, I tink there is not a need to understand what other people tink about you. As long as you believe in r own self and do wad suits you best, that is good enough already. Use your strength, be positive and im sure you will be more happier.
Your self belief is second to none, and I tink that strength which is in you special. You are mentally very strong, so I believe thatyou can use that strength to make it work for you, use it to overcome your many obstacles. Have confidence in your own ability. Show yr ability not your disability, and i tink with that, you atre able to go far in whatever you do. So, I wish you good luck in whatever you do! you can do it! 加油!
