Oh hey, it’s Sunday!
And OMG it rhymes.
I swear I don’t know if I’m total madness sometimes.
Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person maybe proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us. - Pride and prejudice
In all honesty, I know not why I am reading ‘Pride and Prejudice’ and going on to facebook and watching random movies on the internet when I have a dozen or more things to do and deadlines to meet too.
I think I’m quite amazing sometimes.
FRIDAY was training after school, and then dinner with team at Parkway (: It’s been a long long long time since we had some sort of outing together. Reminds me of last year where we used to walk to Parkway for ice cream at Macs or Scoopz after training at CSC. At least it was nice! Training was tiring though. And surprisingly I managed to hold on and finished the logistics list. Yay to me!
SATURDAY was SC chiangmai camp briefing in the morning. Reached school at around 9.45am and helped He Lao Shi figure out how to set up the AV system and on the aircon in LT1 8D Then after briefing there were some conflict so end up had an impromptu meeting with Creshelle, Vivian and Shirlyn in SC room to sort it out. Then did logistics checking in SC room too before heading off for lunch. Creshelle, Shirlyn and I went to katong laksa for lunch 8D And then walked over to Parkway for dessert at a new place called ‘Toby’s the dessert asylum’ 8D The desserts there were really expensive but quite worth it haha.
Today was just slacking. Did housework in the morning, finished up the physics practical report I owe Mr Lim and did part of the Trigo 3 assignment 24. Then went onto facebook and used to computer don’t know doing what till lunch, then watched TV after that. Watched ‘Romantic princess’ and it still made me cry even though it was about the 13th time I’ve seen it. Then went onto the computer and did some editing of the DAS till about 5pm. Then went to ECP for inline-skating! It was quite fun (: Though I went alone haha. Skated for about 2 hours, about 20km maybe? Skated all the way from my house to slightly after DHS and back again. Hehe it was fun
I want to go ice-skating next!
Oh yes, on tuesday something miraculous occured. I was feeling very down about some things, and thought I was perfectly horrible. Then I thought about the many many things I have to do and was feeling rather overwhelmed. Then after SC meeting and dinner at Delifrance at Parkway with EXCO (minus Egan, Gordon and Yusiang) went home by taxi. The taxi driver whom I met, Mr Adi, was very very nice. Though he initially drove the wrong way to Kampong arang that area, then after that he kept apologising. Thought there was no need to though. Then he related a story of his to me, which I thought was very apt at that point in time. What he said was that whenever life throws stones at you and deals you a bad hand over and over again, never give up. Hang on a little longer, and things will clear up. It was so applicable to the situation I was in that I nearly cried after I got down.
This reminds me of a quote from a book:
The universe always answers when you call.
So maybe I was already calling for help myself, just that I didn’t know it.
Seems like I need to listen to myself more often (:
And for those out there who are swimming and think that they’re gonna drown soon, keep on swimming to stay afloat! There’ll be sights of land soon, or at the very least a rescue boat will come along. And maybe a cute lifeguard will be there too ;D
