what makes something valuable?
and what does it take to make someone truly realise the value of something?

it's funny that we hunger after so many things that seem so high up, then when we get them in the end we realise they are but a mere shadow of their apparent former sparkle. while some things we have never given a damn about, but when something happens and we lose them, we realise that they're the things that deep down we cherish the most.

hmm somehow this sounds like an application of Le Chatelier's Principle? omg i feel weird linking science concepts to real life.

went to get teacher's day gifts today. i guess this will be the last time one can really have a "teacher" to give a gift to, and having not actually done any gift-giving for a huge bulk of my schooling years, i'm not letting this chance slip away. there aren't many ways that you can show appreciation to your teachers around.

anyway i heard that a friend of mine aspires to be a wedding planner! that is super awesome. aspiration is good; i think one of the things we must not lack is the aspiration and the dream to achieve something greater, something beyond ourselves.

maybe it's the fact that too many people are talking about becoming doctors and lawyers, that somehow those 2 jobs have grown distant and less meaningful. somehow it's the tiny, seemingly insigificant hopes that speak to me. it's amazing that even when the world tells me to aspire to wealth fame and status, i am not persuaded (at least not to a great extent) and i am thankful for such grace given to me.
