Contrary to what most people think, an introvert is not simply a person who is shy. In fact, being shy has little to do with being an introvert! Shyness has an element of apprehension, nervousness and anxiety, and while an introvert may also be shy, introversion itself is not shyness. Basically, an introvert is a person who is energized by being alone and whose energy is drained by being around other people.
Introverts are more concerned with the inner world of the mind. They enjoy thinking, exploring their thoughts and feelings. They often avoid social situations because being around people drains their energy. This is true even if they have good social skills. After being with people for any length of time, such as at a party, they need time alone to "recharge."
When introverts want to be alone, it is not, by itself, a sign of depression. It means that they either need to regain their energy from being around people or that they simply want the time to be with their own thoughts. Being with people, even people they like and are comfortable with, can prevent them from their desire to be quietly introspective.
Being introspective, though, does not mean that an introvert never has conversations. However, those conversations are generally about ideas and concepts, not about what they consider the trivial matters of social small talk.
In conclusion, shy not necessarily = introvert
Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the one's who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. if it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

Thanks for brighten up my day again
What a tiring day, have lots of fun though. Sry Crays for that incident...
After my tuition which starts at 3pm and ends at 4.15pm. My father with my youngest brother fetch me up after my tuition. We waited at the Inai apartment's bus stop until about 4.35pm. I'm pursuing my father to go home, "it's ok for me to wait at the bus stop alone as jit teng and yan ping are reaching soon... " i said. Of course they went back home first.
While waiting, i received an sms from my primary school mate. I'm just excited until I miss the sight of jit teng's car. Later, I received a call from Jit Teng's cell phone but it's Yan Ping who was speaking. (Of couse for safety measure and to prevent fine from policeman) According to YP, he thought I'm waiting at the bus stop just outside my house. So, no choice but have to cross the bridge... Anyway thanks to him, I have a transport to go to U-Phun's birthday party.
During our long distance journey (about 30 mins, I think), YP and I chatting non-stop, JT with his sunglasses on however was in a silent mode throughout the journey.
