It’s not a surprise that I found myself, once again, staring up at the moonlight, searching for answers - why does life have to be the way it is? Why do people do the things they do? And with a heart so big, it’s really a shame to watch it go to waste on undeserving people with their counterfeited compliments and simulated sympathy. I’m worthy of so much more than what I’m standing for. But why do I even want to live in a world full of prejudice? If I don’t push myself to extremities, how shall I ever be discovered? And how slim are the chances of discovery at all? And once faith is lost, is there no point of return? Once you get that far, I guess the only question is - do I sink or do I swim?
5 lessons about the way we treat people
1. Cleaning Lady.
During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one:
“What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?” Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50’s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade.
“Absolutely, ” said the professor. “In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello.” I’ve never forgotten that lesson... I also learned her name was Dorothy.
2. Pickup in the Rain.
One night, at 11:30 P.M., an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rain storm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride.
Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960’s. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab. She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him.
Seven days went by and a knock came on the man’s door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached. It read: “Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband’s’ bedside just before he passed away… God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Nat King Cole.”
3. Always remember those who serve.
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.
“How much is an ice cream sundae?” he asked.
“Fifty cents,” replied the waitress.
The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it.
“Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?” he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient.
“Thirty-five cents,” she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins.
“I’ll have the plain ice cream,” he said.
The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies.
You see, he couldn’t have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.
4. The Obstacle in Our Path.
In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the King’s’ wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.
The peasant learned what many of us never understand! Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.
5. Giving When it Counts.
Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister.
I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, “Yes I’ll do it if it will save her.” As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek.
Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, “Will I start to die right away?” Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.

Things I need to make clear
- Just because I have a boyfriend doesn't mean I don't care for my friends;
- Likewise, it also doesn't mean you guys don't have to care for me anymore;
- Why? Because I prioritize my friendships with you guys over my relationship because you guys are more important to me;
- Again, that doesn't mean I don't care about Jingheng, because I do;
- It is just that I've been close friends with you guys for so long that I'd rather lose a boyfriend than lose you guys all together;
- So please don't accuse me of caring more about Jingheng because I care more about you guys than I do for him.
Semakau Island + Kusu Island excursion
I love the sunset. :)
After the trip, reached the school at 7pm+ and met Jingheng and had dinner together and he asked me out so yup! I am attached again. :B
OKKKK BAI.
At the library
Considering the fact that from Tuesday to Friday, I have a free period to do whatever I want since I don't take Chinese anymore, and that I can go to the library and use the computer [and the computers here are really professional since they've just been upgraded and the keyboards are so sleek omg I am serious when I say this: TYPING ON THIS ACER KEYBOARD IS ORGASMIC], I should be feeling pretty damn lucky.
So I am feeling pretty damn lucky, but I am supposed to be studying for my Physics test later on, but I cannot be fucked because... seriously? Physics? I DON'T CARE!!!! Ok I know my study attitude sucks. But hello, we are talking about PHYSICS! Physics = cocksucker. -_-
So I don't feel very lucky anymore because I am still bogged down with tests.
Luckily I enjoy going for CLB lessons because everyone there is nice :)
Anyway, I think something is wrong with Mr Cheah because he claims that my Physics is very good and that I did very well for last year SA2 when I asked him if I could go for Physics remedial as well. I mean, like, hello, I know I am very attentive in class and all, but my Physics still suck. Hello, C5 for Physics last year. It is only due to my A1 in Chem that I got an A2 for my Combined Science. :B
And yes I am very bored because Jennifer is photocopying notes for her boyfriend [ok fine, classmate, but whatever] and leaving me here all by my lonesome urgh!!!!!!! :( No one to talk to. Kevin is beside me but he is very anti-social. Ok I think he just dislikes me. And then DJ and JH are over at the next few computers but they're also very anti-social.
So I am very bored.
Trying to dawdle away time. But it is impossible because.... I can't go to Tumblr, because some of the people I follow uploads pictures of naked women/men or half-naked, and I'll be accused of viewing pornography when I'm not. I can't message because I have limited messages (1000) and if I exceed them, my dad will personally kill me. I can't talk because there's nobody to talk to [STUPID JENNIFER].
:(
I am very bored oh my god KILL ME NOW. :(
Oh Girl Guides later on too. I am teaching them KNITTING!!!!! So exciting. (Note the sarcasm)
I want to eat prata.
Ok bye I shall fritter away time by reading other people's blogs' archives. B)

So...
I've moved on. Yes, I still do miss him. Yes, I still do have some feelings. But they do not matter to me anymore. I'm not bothered by them anymore. I actually have space in my heart for someone else.
Thus, I've decided to accept N after several days of contemplating if I should. HAHA. I told him that it won't be fair for him since I still do have some feelings, but he said that he doesn't mind, so......... :)

The skies were really pretty this morning
When I left the house at 7am this morning, I looked up and was captivated by the warm colours radiating from the skies and stood at my door for a good 5 minutes, just looking at the moving colours. Then I remembered that I had to go to school, and hastily took 2 pictures before I locked the door and left.
I had to run to the bus interchange, if not I'd have been late for school for the third time (which means detention for 1 hour). And thankfully I wasn't late. :P
So. Attended CLB yesterday! During our break:
HAHAHAHA.
There was this nice guy sitting in front of me who's from Springfield. He is nice because he offered me cuttlefish to eat and cuttlefish is awesome :):):)
Had Macs for dinner with Jenjen after CLB!
Ok. And today, accompanied Alicia after school to have lunch at Pizza Hut + buy a birthday cake for her brother's 17th birthday. :)
Ok I am done!
Oh yeah, had Chemistry test today too. I think I am going to do very badly because I don't understand displacement. -_- Nevermind. Shall stay back and ask Mrs Chua to go through the displacement theory with me again.
+ I hate that I am so sensitive. I should just shut the fuck up next time.
Tutor is coming in like, 15 minutes and I have not done my homework. Hehe. I am awesome. \m/
Ok bye. :)
