Hiatus
Exams start in exactly 10 days.
Can't fail any paper.
If not I have to repeat the entire year.
That's pretty intense.
Sorry blog, neglect time.
Or, maybe I will drop by again when I'm super bored of studying.

Long Distance!
Some of the few things about long distance relationship that I saw and find them so so true!
1. Communication becomes sacred. You'll value any and all messages from your partner infinitely more. Getting each other's selfies become a whole lot more enjoyable.
2. Only being able to talk at certain times also means you get the happy jitters every time you hear your partner's voice.
3. Skype, meanwhile, becomes something you're actually looking forward to!
4. And you two become masters of two-player apps, always excited for your partner's next move.
5.Travel! Adventures are great, especially the person you love is your destination. That moment when you first see each other again- priceless.
6. Gifts and surprises are now worth infinitely more than they were before.
7. Although you may fight, it is often because you'll wish the two of you just had more time together.
8. You know, though, that you always have something to look forward to. You know the exact number of days until you see him next.
9. Finally, if your long distance relationship is successful, you can rest assured that your relationship is pretty golden.
10. And if all of this still doesn't convince you, science says distance does actually makes the heart grow fonder.
Having said all these..
I still want to be in the same place as him.

| We always ask each other for selfies! But I hate doing that coz I have to take like 200 shots before I get one that is acceptable and for him, he just take it anyhow. Hahaha |
2. Only being able to talk at certain times also means you get the happy jitters every time you hear your partner's voice.
 |
| Yes i love his voice! So much :) |
3. Skype, meanwhile, becomes something you're actually looking forward to!
 |
| The great invention of video call! Don't know how people in the olden days survive with just letters which take forever to send through. |
 |
| AHH HAAA! I win! :D |
 |
| Can't waitttttt!! |
 |
| YAY! Best thing to receive in the mailbox |

Nurse reveals the top 5 regrets people make on their deathbed
Interesting article that I really want to share with you guys :)
For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives. People grow a lot when they are faced with their own mortality.
For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives. People grow a lot when they are faced with their own mortality.
I learnt never to underestimate someone’s capacity for growth. Some changes were phenomenal. Each experienced a variety of emotions, as expected, denial, fear, anger, remorse, more denial and eventually acceptance. Every single patient found their peace before they departed though, every one of them.
When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again. Here are the most common five:
1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
This was the most common regret of all. When people realize that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made.

Most people had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made.
It is very important to try and honour at least some of your dreams along the way. From the moment that you lose your health, it is too late. Health brings a freedom very few realise, until they no longer have it.
2. I wish I didn’t work so hard.
This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children’s youth and their partner’s companionship. Women also spoke of this regret. But as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence.

All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence.
By simplifying your lifestyle and making conscious choices along the way, it is possible to not need the income that you think you do. And by creating more space in your life, you become happier and more open to new opportunities, ones more suited to your new lifestyle.
3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result.

We cannot control the reactions of others. However, although people may initially react when you change the way you are by speaking honestly, in the end it raises the relationship to a whole new and healthier level. Either that or it releases the unhealthy relationship from your life. Either way, you win.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
Often they would not truly realise the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying.

It is common for anyone in a busy to let friendships slip. But when you are faced with your approaching death, the physical details of life fall away. People do want to get their financial affairs in order if possible. But it is not money or status that holds the true importance for them. They want to get things in order more for the benefit of those they love. Usually though, they are too ill and weary to ever manage this task. It is all comes down to love and relationship in the end. That is all that remains in the final weeks, love and relationships.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.
This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realise until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called ‘comfort’ of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content. When deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again. When you are on your deathbed, what others think if you is a long way from your mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again, long before you are dying.

Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly. Choose happiness.
