Freedom Writers

Hahas..Though I post twice today, I really don't have much to do and I wish to share this movie with you. It has been a long time that I wanted to watch Freedom Writers in 2007 March. When it was first released, I remembered someone promised to watch it with me. But I cannot remember who la.So in the end I didn't manage to. But thanks to De wei, he managed to get the movie for me.

I have been busy all these while. But today, I finally able to watch it today. It is definitely a great inspirational movie.

It is about a young lady teacher, wanting to teach and help students. The lady came from a good background and those students are leading their lives in fear, wondering each day will they get killed by a different race. She not only taught the students well or giving them sufficient attention but she wants to make a difference in their lives and be their changing point.
If anyone interested in the movie, let me know eh..hahas. But I am truly inspired by that movie.

After watching this movie, it reminds me about what Elinda Gan ( my international cross cultures studies lecturer cum tutor cum my course coordinator) said. There is this girl in my course, she was ran down by a car on her way to school. It was pretty shocking to me. She might not be even be 18 but she is lying in the hospital in critical condition.
While I was typing this entry, Sandy(my classmates plus jogging partner) told me, the girl who met with the accident passed away.

It held me thinking. What if it happened to me as well?
(My dad said this year isn't a good year for me and ask me to be more careful.)

Kim's Philosophy :
Life is too short to lead your life worrying about what will happen tomorrow.
Be it an outing, a hug, a kiss, an apology, a word of encouragement or things that you want to say, don't postpone anything because you think you can do it with that friend, family or that special someone of yours.
The person(s) might no live long enough to experience or hear it.

Though sadness, sorrows and disappointment are bound in lives.
But what about happiness, bliss and hope that are there by your side every moment?
You may be angry with your friends,with your girlfriend or boyfriend or with your family member.
But they are the one that are there that support you when you are in your darkest moment, when you are lost.

Give it your best shot in whatever you do.
Be it your passion.
Be it your studies.
Be it your friendship with your friends or your relationship with your family.
Be it your love.
Be it your hobbies.
Be it your belief.

Just try, do your best, your 100%.
Then there is no regret in your life.
Just be glad that you did your best.

Anyone can bring me out and have dinner or picnic under the stars?
