storytime...
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 kind for not keeping the roads clear but none did anything to get the big stone out of the way. Then, a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After a great deal of pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a coin pouch lying on the road where the boulder had been. The pouch contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removes the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others will never understand.
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one's predicament (:

Righty. Got to make this fast.
Hmm, just wanna blog about saturday.
Aha, my day started off bad.
With mummy forgetting she had to see my teacher, that isn't really nice of her.
But I understand, so I had to cancel my appointments with both science teachers
):
Well, Ms salina was alright I suppose, I've improved for Econs big time! Who to thank?
Mr Fock? Ah.. Myself! HEE.. nah jk. I don't need to get to the top. I'm contented with just a bit of improvement ((:
Oh, and then PW was a disaster. As usual, that idiot who said he wanted to get things done quick..sort of promising to be 'efficient' turned out to be the most super ineff. WHAT THE HELL. he pissed me off with his bluntness, just when the world came crashing down (no lah, not so extreme..but the idea's there xD)..
Seriously he.. isn't nice. Not at all.
Even though after having the impression that I was 'emo', he came running back to check if I was ok.
i felt super super..more pissed?! LOL.
he's just so.. crappy. But yeah, although I appreciated his gesture, it kinda turned me off a lil'. Still, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
And then, there's dy. Well, sweet person I suppose.
And he kinda freaked me out while I went to fill my bottle. He was absolutely right. Spot on.
His 'gift'. HE could feel I was somewhat emo. I wonder how he knew that, but I had a hard time concealing it. In front of him? Difficult.. I appreciate his concern as well.
but sometimes, people just need to be alone. Doubt they know that.
Well, I'm sure not as weak as they think I am. If they even think so.
Gtg now, bye dear blog!

Ah yes.
I'm finally blogging again..really wanted to blog over the weekend.
Frustration put me off.
A dinner with the supposedly besties turned out well.. not what I was looking forward to.
Just when I finally got myself to be nice, she just ruined it all for me.
She's selfish. That doesn't mean I'm not. This just teaches me something; shut up.
I shall adhere then, to this unexpected lesson learnt. Reflection.. ah yes. I'm very very reflective today.
Talked to 2 of the second-intakers. Rather unanticipated. RUBE-... lol. Yes, fortunately he was there to hear me out coz I really needed that. Hope that he won't see me as some freak trying to sort things out with myself + hope he won't find my said-aloud reflections annoying. Damn, now i've spilled so much out. Revealed bunches... it's not mysterious anymore. AND I FEEL EXPOSED. Grr... IN A FREAKIN' UNPLEASANT WAY.
And yes, I'm vengeful. Thanks for that peeps, denigration - again.
TO KRISTYN:
CONTROL YOUR IMPULSIVITY.
Hah, like what Mr Chan used to tell Audrey. Yes, and that means.. I'd have to crawl back into my lil' shell. It so isn't a sanctuary. I wonder if I'd be able to achieve that... Let's see (: No, it isn't going to be a pretense, of course not. It's about controlling my emotions right? YES GIRL YES! TADA... Hope it works.
SELF-RESTRAIN FTW.
LABEL -> REFLECTION -> ACTION => vicious cycle

Ok.
Promos are over. And I've been wasting time.. Sad huh. Have to start doing chem assessment chapter by chapter..plus physics. Sigh.. I've been shopping.. Sat... Fri... Sunday? Monday and definitely today. How should I put it? Shopping with others has its pros and cons. Shopping alone too. I ended up spending around 45 bucks today, including my meal. Seriously, Why did I spend so much on food. Grr... I went all the way to sch, then to paya lebar. School .. I was there for 1o mins?! Gosh. But ah well, I have loads of time to spare anyway. Err, I mean 'waste', not spare. Then I went to This Fashion at paya lebar. IT was huge as usual. Got my jumper, had a really tough time deciding. As usual, but it's like half the price you would normally get one for elsewhere. So ok ba. Then headed to toa payoh. Gosh, seeing those IJ girls make me wanna don that AWESOME-LY GORGEOUS sch U on. And their belts have really gone higher up their waist. Besides that, I bought a cardigan for 8 bucks. A steal I tell you! Then of course, I kenna scammed by that ?!$@*&#! shop. There goes my 7.8o.... T____________T I could have bought another cardigan ok. Scammerrr!!! Now how long will I take to get over this ?.. Foolish, asinine! ... And the jumper wasn't all that great... I thought I could depend on myself to make it look a tat nicer or so.. Arghhh.. But it failed. Didn't really go the way I had planned, so now, i'll try something else. Hopefully, it's more ideal this time round. So tmr, I guess it's shopping again. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...
