::ME::
In a place of voidness, I need colours. Blue, Red, Green.
May the colours tell of a story that will not let me regret.

Sad factor 1: My cousin (same age) whom I get along with DAMN WELL, can't make it for his father's company's Family day. Seems like something happened at his godfathers side. Therefore I, the only representative of my family went to Sentosa with my 3rd aunt and her children.
JOY factor 1: We reached Sentosa and we need not queue up for the goodies and food! HA! And the goodie bag includes a mat which was SUPERB to sit on on the sand.
JOY factor 2: The lunch provided was delicious and there were a lot of games and stalls in which we have excess coupons to use! Despite the HOT weather, there's a cool shelter cause of lots of fans with cooler vapour. And thus we escaped from the heat! =]
Sad factor 2: Despite all the soooooo many games I played, I only won in 1 and won a plastic container. I really wanted the BIG soft toy as it is a octopus, the one my class bought at IKEA as class IDENTITY.
JOY factor 3: So I played a lot of games and ate a lot of snacks but the real joy here is the moments I shared with my cousins while playing, eating and winning. I was really happy they won the FULL set of cups through the many small wins in the games they played. The whole day was made enjoyable by them.
JOY factor 4: My cousin tze bin, although I call him bin bin, wore the mats we got from the goodies as 'armour' and was really funny! Lots of people looked at him and was amazed at how he endured the heat by wearing double layers. His actions and naivety brought laughter and admiration for him to me. Why do I say that? Cause whatever that he did in public today, will be what I will not be able to bring myself to do.
Sad factor 3: We didn't win in the lucky draw, that's a small setback as the prizes was GREAT! And we were very tired through the day and we still had to eat dinner and there was no food centre around and so we QUEUED to wait for a table at Sakae.
JOY factor 5: So we ate at Sakae and the wait was reduced as a lot of customers suddenly left and so we got a table quickly. My aunt treated me and I had a really nice erm.... anagi... something...don. Haha. We were on schedule as we had a show to watch later. That's joy factor 6.
JOY factor 6: The show we watched is.... Song Of The Sea. Previously known as the Musical Fountain. My aunt paid for the tickets. Haha. We got seats that was near he centre and the show was INCREDIBLE! Water, fire, light, lasers and FIREWORKS! One thing about the show though, I feel that the actors were reduncdant as they were lip snycing all the time. And the main cast were really the the cartoon characters. The whole show was cool and worthwhile! Haha.
Despite the day had 3 sad factors, I saw 2 JOY factors to counter every one. Thus the day overall was a joyous one. The thing is, no matter how bad one has gone through, one can still find a hint of joy and appreciation over anything, even if it's a small matter, it still brings joy to you. This is what I've learned through growing up, and I hope more people will look at things differently after they read this post.
It's easy to make one unhappy, especially oneself. Trying to find joy in what comes to you may be dificult, but if you can complete such a difficult task, what more difficulties might you face?
