พยายาม

ทะเลาะ ผู้ตัดสิน ธรรม เรื่อง ไปฟ้องศาล ประกัน กฎหมายบังคับ บริษัทประกัน what????? argh...woke up damn early to finish my thai 4 class writing class homework but i cannot even finish reading it after 1 hour! One more page to go and i think i'm probably the slowest reader in class.

the inquisition...

Maths & Science trail in Esplanade! Yay, a good change from the usual cycle and 2.5hrs of ask-all-u-can-sessions. Syl seems to be photography trained. Perspectives are carefully observed. Must make sure i ask her tomorrow. While the amazing racers were having fun, we had breakfast at Pacific Coffee. Banana muffin was ok, prefer starbucks'. The company was hilarious and i'd say wickedly unbecoming but who cares? :) Breakfast ended with The Inquisition. The ladies bugged HM on how he managed to woo his gf. "call until buay-tahan" was the classic answer from HM. Hey ladies, go easy on the decent guy!!!

caught up

Supposed to have dinner with the misa gang but only Ojay turned up! Yeesher had hot date and decided not to join us. Had dinner at Vilage which is the Marche lookalike in China Square Central (i think). The price seems the same though... Ordered so much food and thought we couldn't finish but we did anyway. We're such GLUTS!!! Dom was exceptionally sweet, brought my keys for me even though he was having dinner with his parents. After which supper at mac.

Had a good time with kelvin and ojay. Probably the only ...8 people whom i can go out and not feel outta place. Nontheless, Kel's a big big ****phobe so i'm just keeping mum and skirting around all subjects pertaining to my private life.

It's another working day ahead. Enjoying more and more of what i'm doing now. Job satisfaction 80%. The other 20% is due to pple like the trio from 3N1 (yucks!) and other last minute workers who expect me to teach mole concept 5 separate times, organic chem 3 times and making salt 2 times. All because they choose not to come for the extra stuff. Aiyah... too kind hearted liao. Maybe the RB should come out soon...

Whacky weekend...

Pre-clubbing storm that swept through my room. Will tidy up when i'm back. My dinner date, smiley for the pic as usual. Jo jo waiting for waye at our usual pre-clubbing spot. Like all bad boys, we ran foul with the law. Hand cuffs, batons, pea caps, pistols and of course, police uniforms. It's official, G is a drunkard! Obviously tipsy from the shots he had in the clubs before meeting us. G and I having a good time! Didn't take any pictures in the club at all! Gosh... Waye you need to get it from Iman!! This one was taken after clubbing. Joel and myself clearly tired. Clockwise from topleft: Teh-Png x 2 perked us (G left early to xxx with k**) up while we waited for Waye to finish status talk. Fed up and amused, we took pictures to kill time and waye was sporting enough to join in. Waye amused us with his Cirque du Soleil trick: Sucking teh-png thru the nostrils! Finally, yet another whacky sat night with the cast.

Oh yes, we missed Hung Up... argh.

Whatever. *CLICK* (Rude Talk)

Had dinner at downtown Mathattan with the usual 2 when some rude peeps called Waye. Apparently this guy has no manners at all and ended the call with "whatever". In retrospect, I realised that the use of mobile phones is prohibited during flight hence that part of the training was left out. What a boo boo...

realised...

Laid on the sofa last night and slept till i was woken up by mum's frantic shoutings. Sister was lying on the floor, motionless, fighting for breath. Then mum's words dawned on me, "I think she may be choked...dunno what happened".

Immediately i sprung into action mode, giving her strong fimr jerk/squeeze at her upper abs. Sister looked at me, as though pleading for help with her eyes. Still i hear her gasping for breath. Then it happened. Her eyes rolled over and she stopped breathing. Mum called the ambulance but i spoke to the english speaking operator.

By the time i'm done on the phone, sis had turned cold and her nails were turning black. A sure sign of oxygen starvation. I was ready to do CPR when she opened her eyes again. Blinked, and coughed.. finally, breathing again.

I didn't like my sister's habits sometimes but thru this incident, i realised that nonetheless, I care for her a lot and i dont want to lose her. Seeing her stopped breathing send goosebumps all over me. Ambulance came and coincidentally, Roger was inside. It's so nice to see a familiar face amid such a situation. The sense of relief is indescribable. Roger, thanks a million for the help.

Now lying in hospital, sis is resting. She seems fine unable to remember what happened in the last moments before the incident. Mum and I are still worried sick.

I just realised how much my parents love us.

The calmness before the storm.... (is sweet)!

D-Day is tomorrow. Everything at work seems so peaceful except the workroom. Classrooms are exceptionally quiet. 3E3 had students dozing off before flag raising and dark-eye ringos. Signs of buring midnight oil? Ah....revenge is sweet. :P

3N2 pissed me off yesterday. HK ran out after me apologising profusely, promising not to be disruptive again. I totally ignored him, not knowing if that's the right thing to do at all. Would i hurt his feelings? I walked on, back into the comfort of my table, where i can get ready for the next unappreciative group of students. Talk about drama. Haha....

Ad came looking for me again. I think she's too stressed. Too stressed to even think clearly. It's such an irony that she's actually one of the best in her class whose progress is hampered by the selfish few who continously disrupt the class with their nonsense. She should partner up with Em. They can help each other out. Hmm...yes i'll ask them to do just that.

I cant wait for tomorrow to arrive. Still nursing my sore throat and cough. Wanna recover soon. Haven't gym for 1 wk. I feel like lynxxie dog's poo poo... :x

Desiderata

A poem which I've kept since my teacher gave it to me when I was in Sec 2.

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
