Amazing striped icebergs

Amazing striped icebergs

Icebergs in the Antarctic area sometimes have stripes, formed by layers of snow that react to different condition...

Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet fills up with meltwater and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form.

When an iceberg falls into the sea, a layer of salty seawater can freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a green stripe.

Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by sediment, picked up when the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the sea.

A passion?

I can't help but wonder... if students join cca for the sake of joining... or do they really have the passion for what they join?

what my gg juniors did really hurtin... do they really have the passion to be in it in the first place? or did they join so as to get their cca point?

the life they got now in that cca is way easier that me or my seniors had... yet... when we tried to toughen them up, complain letter n petition against us... for goodness sake... it's an uniform group!! you don't join it to have a leisure time... if you can't even take that little training we have for you, don't complain. your own juniors can do way better than you!

skip the training camp that we, ex-seniors, have put in to much effort to plan for you gals... only the lower sec juniors turn up and stay throughout the whole 3 days... even the sec 4 who should have step down came for the camp... what about you gals? only 2 turn up and didn't even stay thoughout the 1st day...

be truthful, you gals know that your attitude isn't that well... and what's your responses were? because the ex-seniors came back, so you gals don't want to attend the meeting... what kind of reason is that?

it's not the ex-seniors want to take over the meeting or whatsoever... we don't want to see it fall... for something that we have build up so painfully... prove to us that you can manage it well... and we won't interfer... but your own attendances for the meeting were way worse than your seniors n juniors...

threaten to quit just because you can't get the company leader post... forget it... that's not a passion... that's just power hungry... you just want the power...

i see more potential in the lower sec juniors to build up the cca way better than you gals... they may be inexperience... but they have the passion in them...

what's the point of having the quantity? when the quality is not even there?

cca... have you join because of the passion for it? or just for the sake of having a cca? for the sake of that cca point? what's the point of joining, if you hate it so much? if you don't have the passion for it?

it hurt to know what happen last week... it hurts more when i realise no one update me about anything that had happened...

cca... is it a passion? or is it a contract to get a better future?

i don't deny that there were times that i wonder if i truly have the passion for the cca i joining... Girl Guide, TMT... do i really have the passion in it?

Truthfully, quitting guides had never cross my mind... maybe cause i truly enjoy my times in Guiding... the skills i learn, the friends i made... It shaped me up... If anyone ask me what i miss about my sec sch life... Girl Guides will alway be the ans... those great memories... it just made up too much of my sec sch life... i can't imagine how different my sec sch life will be without Girl Guides...

StageArts, TMT... the cca that Amin recommend to me... the cca that i join early this year... the cca that may have small number... though so far i only been to 1 TMT event... yes 1 only... but i really enjoy myself... a different exposure... new stuff to learn...

it was the StageArts event that really made me feel part of it... SA night n SA camp... working with people from the different departments... having noticed by the seniors in StageArts... funny how Club Crawl nearly cause me to be scare to be part of the big family... but SA night and SA camp change my mindset... i can't wait to work with the different departments again...

i have to admit, my passion for those cca will not get as much as how andreas's, putri's or erny's passion to them... but i'm willing to do my best for it... for i have choose to join them... i don't join for the cca point... rather, i join to gain experiences...

cca... it's a passion... not a point gaining system... it's more than just putting in time and effort for it...

thanx for e gift :)

Love~

Love
- is not romantic
- is not kind
- is not sweet and soft and cuddly

Love
- is pain (when your love one leaves)
- is sacrifice (when you forfeit your own desires)
- is understanding and acceptance (of your partner's shortcomings)
- is found after years of toil

Love blossoms over time and is a precious gift

Why is it precious?
because sometimes...
after years of sacrifice...
sometimes...
Love does not blossom

Friendship

Came across tis in stomp...

Friendship is a type of feeling, a feeling that is shared in between two people after they communicate together and becomes friends. In one's life, different friends will appear in their life, sometimes, they might be passerbys in one's life, some may even be good friends for eternity.

I remember vividly hearing a quote,"One will always have friends, but never forever friends." I believe this quote. Because no matter how close or how good they are together, they will eventually because of time or distance between each other, from close pals to become just friends. But we can't blame time or distance for the eventual result, we can only say that our friendship wasn't that strong to begin with.

Friendship needs time to nurture, and it needs trust and commitment among the two most. People who understand you alot are the ones which are hard to find. To really find somebody who understands you and can confide in vice-versa, is really very hard.

In life, three types of feelings have the most important roles: Kinship, Friendship and Love. Kinship is more important than friendship, because friends can betray you, but family members will never ever betray you, however, friendship is more important than love, because friends tend to be long-lasting, while love is only for awhile.

I wish u enuff

Recently, I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure.

Standing near the security gate, they hugged, and the mother said, 'I love you, and I wish you enough.'

The daughter replied, 'Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom.'

They kissed, and the daughter left. The mother walked over to the window where I was seated. Standing there, I could see she wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on her privacy, but she welcomed me in by asking, 'Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?'

Yes, I have,' I replied. 'Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?'

'I am old, and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead, and the reality is - her next trip back will be for my funeral,' she said.

'When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I wish you enough.' May I ask what that means?'

She began to smile. 'That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone.' She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail, and she smiled even more. 'When we said, 'I wish you enough,' we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them.'

Then, turning toward me, she shared the following as if she were reciting it from memory.

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.

I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.


Then, she began to cry, and walked away.


They say, it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but an entire life to forget them.


* Only if you wish, send this to the people you will never forget, and remember to send it back to the person who sent it to you. If you don't send it to anyone, it may mean that you are in such a hurry that you have forgotten your friends.


TAKE TIME TO LIVE.....


To all my friends and loved ones,
I WISH YOU ENOUGH........

What my handwriting say abt me...

Try out tis analysis thingy abt my handwriting... my result... oh ya... if u wonder y it is laura... tt's my german name... tt wasn't use in ages~~


Welcome Laura Chew, here is your handwriting analysis.

Laura uses judgment to make decisions. She is ruled by her head, not her heart. She is a cool, collected person who is usually unexpressive emotionally. Some may see her as unemotional. She does have emotions but has no need to express them. She is withdrawn into herself and enjoys being alone.

The circumstances when Laura does express emotions include: extreme anger, extreme passion, and tremendous stress. If someone gets her mad enough to tell her off, she will not be sorry about it later. She puts a mark in her mind when someone angers her. She keeps track of these marks and when she hits that last mark she will let them know they have gone too far. She is ruled somewhat by self-interest. All her conclusions are made without outside emotional influence. She is very level-headed and will remain calm in an emergency situation. In a situation where other people might get hysterical, she has poise.

Laura will work more efficiently if given space and time to be alone. She would rather not be surrounded by people constantly. In a relationship, she will show her love by the things she does rather than by the things she says. Saying "I love you" is not a needed routine because she feels her mate should already know. The only exception to this is if she has logically concluded that it is best for her mate to hear her express her love verbally.

Laura is not subject to emotional appeals. If someone is selling a product to her, they will need to present only the facts. They should present them from a standpoint of her sound judgment. She will not be taken in by an emotional story about someone else. She will meet emergencies without getting hysterical and she will always ask "Is this best for me?"

People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, Laura doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.

Laura will be candid and direct when expressing her opinion. She will tell them what she thinks if they ask for it, whether they like it or not. So, if they don't really want her opinion, don't ask for it!

In reference to Laura's mental abilities, she has a very investigating and creating mind. She investigates projects rapidly because she is curious about many things. She gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but she soon must slow down and look at all the angles. She probably gets too many things going at once. When Laura slows down, then she becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, she must slow down to do it. She then decides what projects she has time to finish. Thus she finishes at a slower pace than when she started the project.

She has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. Her mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. She can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Laura can then switch into her low gear. When she is in the slower mode, she can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. She is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.

Laura is a practical person whose goals are planned, practical, and down to earth. This is typical of people with normal healthy self-esteem. She needs to visualize the end of a project before she starts. she finds joy in anticipation and planning. Notice that I said she plans everything she is going to do, that doesn't necessarily mean things go as planned. Laura basically feels good about herself. She has a positive self-esteem which contributes to her success. She feels she has the ability to achieve anything she sets her mind to. However, she sets her goals using practicality-- not too "out of reach". She has enough self-confidence to leave a bad situation, yet, she will not take great risks, as they relate to her goals. A good esteem is one key to a happy life. Although there is room for improvement in the confidence catagery, her self-perception is better than average.

Laura has a tendency to put things off, Laura procrastinates. She sometimes pretends to be busy, so she will not have to do whatever she is putting off. She is often late to appointments or deadlines. This usually leads to a great amount of effort at the last minute to meet the deadline. Procrastination is an important factor as it relates to her output on the job or at school. Remember, Laura will put it off until later. Procrastination is easily overcome through a simple stroke adjustment in the handwriting.

Something is incomplete in Laura's life. She feels frustration relating to her physical needs and desires. Somewhere in her life there is some disappointment, non-fulfillment, and interruption.

Laura is very selective when choosing her inner circle of friends. She excludes all but a few from her fellowship. She limits her intimate friends to one or maybe two people. She tends not to trust the masses of people but chooses only a few to trust.

Laura exaggerates about everything that has a physical nature. Although she may not intend to deceive or mislead, she blows things way out of proportion because that is the way she views them. She will be a good story teller. This exaggeration relates to all areas of her material world. Laura allows many people into her life because she is accepting and trusting. She is sometimes called gullible by her friends. That only really means that she trusts too many people. Laura has a vivid imagination.
