OVERWHELMED!

DSC01079

Hooo!

Hooo!Hoooooo!Hoooo!

Not making much sense am i ?.that i am..not making much sense. This is just so overwhelming… I thank all of you with all my heart ..really… This is all just..well..too much for my heart to bear. I wanted so much to think that i am alone..to wallow in self pity and resignation..but you guys came along and swept me off my feet with your kind words …letting me feel the need to un trap myself.
Just to let you guys know that your words are working wonders..am trying rather hard to pick up the pieces and move on..yesterday i went to the salon and had a haircut,something that i usually do when i am down or feeling really unlucky, for i believe that when you snip off your hair you get rid of some of the problems thats making you fret…also covered the white hairs that seemed to overtake the black ones on my head….

amazing isn’t? You have two complete strangers(in a certain way).. One poured his pathos and the other promptly,unconditionally offered words of encouragement and wisdom, so that the former could just get back on his feet and be whole again.

人间是有温情的。。

I am now still trapped..but trapped in a good way… trapped into a situation whereby i have to move on and be me again not just for myself but for many of you…..

i thank you all once again for your kind words

i thank you all..for walking with me……

    New hair, new week, sounds good.

    Life is 10% what you make it and 90% how you take it.

    Quote Albert Einstein, “Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.”

    Have a good week ahead!

    Bryan…

    great to hear that.

    Like what I said previously, walking along this life journey, we all just gonna spur one another on.

    If possible, let us know ocasionally every now and then…how are you feeling day-to-day. =)

    Myself and many others are all behind you.

    Think positive. Keep telling youself this: “没有什么事会难倒我王禄江的!!!!我可以的!”

    With a sober, clear mind, I believe you can solve your problem(s) one day.

    Hi Bryan,

    Very happy to see this blog of yours. Just want to say Jiayou, look ahead of you and think positive. This is what we are here for: To encourage each other along the hard route to move on when one is down… who knows? Maybe we will need ur encouragement somedays too as our life will have ups and downs … :)

    Yah!You’ll never walked alone!!!

    Add more Oils! There is always a Day Break after long dark night!

    Wake urself up tomolo morning at7am! see the sun rise,take a deep breath! everything is going to be fine.

    解鈴還是繫鈴人!

    from ur blog, i think u already work out the solution somehow, just that u cannot accept somehow y u must step back this round. Well, that’s life.. 退一步, 海阔天空..!
    set ur own limit, so that others wont take it for granted!

    Life is short,no one can predict wat will happen next. So long u think u tried ur very best,then that’s it .So, Cherish watever u have now, go on with it. share all ur joys with ur family n friends. That’s should be the way we maintain our life.

    Cheers ,
    Take care. :)

    Hi Bryan,

    I think the ability to accept things that come along our way isn’t easy. (Jia You!)
    No matter what is bothering you, glad you’ve decided to let it go.
    I’ve always believe: What is meant to be, will mean to be.

    Everything happends for a reason, isn’t it?
    Try to look at things from different perspectives and life will be more meaningful.

    You still have a long way to go. Ganbatte alrite!

    on October 8th, 2007 at 10:04 am

    good that you are on your way out…but i m still trap and sinking deeper and deeper…all those methods didn’t work at all or just a while and like i say , a little “thing” eg lie, hypocrite act will trigger off !!! i believe all those who say or encourage you here are out of sincerity (that’s “stupid and naive” who will always tink that ppl are gd and sincere….but…now…on the other will “doubt” and “believe” at the same time and that’s make me go bersek!!HOW????)….but in reality, you MAY not be able to find one to confide (out of all?)….because ppl changes and is easier to “type” to encourage….

    Hi Bryan

    I have wanted to give you words of encouragement but too bad, I am not good at words. Anyway, glad to know that at least you have picked yourself up and go on.

    In life, we need friends. We help one another, if not, then life is not worth living for.

    We are behind you. Jia you.

    Hi Bryan,

    I wrote this in Yifeng’s blog too some time ago. Whatever u do, juz make sure its not against the law; not backstabbing anyone; not hurting anyone mentally or physically; and most importantly u n ur loved ones r happy, other people happy or not, not important lah! How to please everybody. Can die very early u know? Cheerios!

    FYI, i call myself Blur Queen not bcos i really blur u know? Juz act blur only. Not a bad thing right? Life so short. Y b so hard on yrself right?

    Just had a look at your previous entry on feeling “trapped”. Unfortunately for me, I can fully empathise with you. I know exactly what you are going on about. That’s right, I am a fellow “trapee”.

    Some parts of your posting really struck an extra loud chord with me – when you mentioned that we are our worst enemies, that there are alternative routes which we are simply refusing to take…and also, the part when you figured that not even repainting and redecorating your room can get you out of the trench.

    I guess the problem is, and I don’t know if I am just speaking for myself or if I can say the same for you, the problems that set off this “trapped’ feeling are very real – that is, they are not some itsy bitsy minor issues that just happened to catch us at a bad time, or a low mood that we know will pass in a few days.

    In my case, there are not really any b-i-g issues that are making me miserable, nor am I anywhere near being seriously depressed. It’s just that there are some principal thoughts to figure out before I can move on with the confidence that I know where I am going, and more importantly, why I am even thinking of going there in the first place. Until then, besides feeling trapped, I also feel like I have one foot on the accelerator and one foot on the brake…and that’s a very lousy feeling.

    I am trying my best to work in a good dose of positive vibes into my psyche while I work out my life…and I hope you are making good progess in your quest to become un-trapped too!

    All the best to you…and perhaps, you know, we are just going through one of those infamous quarter/mid/whatever-life crises!

    CHEERS!!! ; )

    on October 8th, 2007 at 9:11 pm

    Yo man check this out

    From the shadow pix, i sense someone whom have found life worth living for and willing to just embrace it and give it another try, life is like that, fall, pick up oneself, walk, fall……as long as one is still living in this mundane world, its a cycle that keeps itself turning and turning and the fear comes when one falls down and refuses to pick oneself up and sub-consciously falls into yet another chasm of self-pity and sorrow.

    I’m like that sometimes, but i will harness the feeling or emotion (layman terms) now and in control of what i need and want to accomplish at the present moment. I hope that God will somehow grant me strength each new day to look forward to the new challenges that the day brings forth to me.

    Just my senseless thoughts….

    Keep up the good work which is inside of you…

    When you wake up every day, says today is a beautiful day!

    And it will be a wonderful day for you and everyone around you. The effect is contagious as happiness in oneself can spread to others.

    If one has frustration, go to the hill top and shout out! It will be a great relief in doing so. Remember, life is always filled with excitement and interesting things when we open our eyes to see them positively.

    You are always the best!

    dear depressed,

    when we are feeling down and out it is quite natural for us to be skeptical of ppl’s words and more often than not we tend to veer off towards the negative thoughts..sigh..but we are only human ya? i don’t know how to advise you on how to lift yourself out of your depression..but thru me perhaps you mught see a soul who is trying to reclaim his life…ya?

    Hi Bryan, I am really really touched when I saw your encouragement to me!!!! Thanks!!! How I wish my friends can understand…but they will only when they are in “trouble”/”sad”….i agree that what you said but like you said “..but we are only human ya?” this is definitely solid fact. I really don’t want to be negative but the solid evidence and facts keep “showing up”…I don’t know and very afraid that i will lost confidence and trust in all ppl!! I am really fearful because if is repeated continuously because as they told me “living in this world, there is no choice that ppl have to be like that” !! Could anyone advise me on how should i “treat” ppl, especially when those so called “good friends” or even jus normal friends (or even you) show “little” concern, i will be very touched and will believe and give me best and trust…..Thats my good but also bad point….maybe you or anyone can “teach me exactly on how we should “be people”….even when i tell a little white lies, i feel like admitting at times even though i am really good at keeping secrets for ppl….

    Bryan, hope we can get out and also all those who are feeling likewise.

    everyone would have a rough patch or more to encounter, in time to come it would pass and when you look back, you would realise how much stronger you grew.

    I am a fan of urs , watching every show and variety prog you hosted, and you were my source of joy, seeing the smile that you have on screen. you always have a thing to make the audience laugh and smile, being their source of joy as well & hw i wish i am able to have that talent of urs, and make u smile. rmb, bryan is #1.

    reading this post, i thank god, you are feeling better and more positive.
    i know its hard to trust a stranger you never met before, but trust me this once, bryan is one tough guy, he walk through this tough time.

    he would shine and sparkle once again, not only in his own life, but touching others lives as well. Im certain you would pick urself up , and become stronger in the process.

    Its alright to feel bad once in a while, to cry once in a while OR even to feel trap once in a while, BUT.. one must also learn to walk out the badness, the tears and the trap. When things seems to go wrong, be at ease (thou not easy) cos God is at work, he ‘s blessing you in ways you cannot see..

    god blesses.

    Isn’t it good this way then? In a way, you’re still trapped. But then, you’re slowly making your way out of the tunnel, into light once again. Everything takes time I suppose. And yours perhaps, is taking longer than others. But one day, you’ll reach that light at the end of the tunnel.

    有些是天已经为我们安排了,有些呢,我们是能改变的.

    Jiayou, you can do it~ (: Have Faith in yourself, and in your determination to get .. un-trapped : )

    did i hear you correctly that you want to let it go, but don’t know how to? if u can’t let it go, it cld be due to a fear or it is a dear stuff. ask yrself what’s the fear or why not losing it. why so? is it just yourself or external factors? how are you going to move on?

    you are sad, i am depressed and bryan is trapped! what is life?

    Two of you never confide to each other lately (since both of you are best friends and are straightforward persons)? Why not “help” each other to overcome?

    Hope the three of us and all who are like us can come out of the terrible darkness soon. I wonder if I can because all the methods like positive thinking, etc don’t work at all now!!

    Think more and more ppl are depressed, trapped, sad, blues….

    Hi Bryan,

    Hope u r feeling better by now…
    Thou’ I do not know wat kind of unfavourable situation u r facing, but I always believe that we do not exist inthis world for nothing, dats 4 sure! We have our own purpose/calling to fulfill inthis life. Life has its ups and downs and we have to be trained to face all the challenges we have in our daily life.
    Whenever how bad a siutation may be, it will not be BAD forever if u r willing 2 face it and solve it. If some1 has hurt u, dun do evil 2 evil but forgive them…is only thru forgiveness and love, then we r able 2 let go and thru’ let go, we will feel better and will not be trapped. I know is difficult but I believe if you believe n have faith in urself, u can do it!
    We r not born onto the earth to feel depress, trapped n all kinds of bad emotion. Let’s fulfil our purpose, vision and our calling fruitfully in this life instead of dwelling into something dat does not benefit us but pleases those who wants us to fall.

    Bryan, take care!

    Life is full of ups and downs. It’s so full of changes. We have to move on, no matter what. The world is still revolving and if we do not move on, we are just wasting time.
    Even when we die, the world is still revolving. It will never stop for us.

Wish i had the chance to drop by here earlier, but nonetheless i’m really really glad to know that you’re feeling better now and moving on. life has its ups and its downs, and like a friend of mine always says, “what does not kill you will make you stronger.”

    no matter what happens, always keep in mind that we’ll be here with you every step along the way. 人间是有温情的… take care~ =)

    hi bryan, i think u may talk it out wif yifong. and maybe u can help her at the same time. she is quite depressed recently. come to think of it, she may help you to overcome depression. or maybe i am wrong -_-|||
    anyway, there’s a lot of ppl giving u support, so dun be sad.
    listen to happy songs, tt may help. or think of ppl who are worse than us, like ppl in africa or closer to home, myanmar. then we will be glad tt we are living in a better world than the others.

    for everyone out there : “Peace of mind doesn’t come from having less problems – it comes from being less critical!”

    life is full of ups n downs..we can cry, upset and almost give up…BUT never ever give up, if you give up, you got no chance to taste life again..

    when depressed, talk to someone, do something to distract yourself, dun listen to those sad songs, dun think of past….depression sometimes might be here once a month…for 1-2 days..bear awhile…very soon you will be back to normal ;) know is not easy but we all can make it right ;) encourage each other, support each other ;)

    kan kai and expect lesser and we will be happier ;)
