We enjoy warmth because we have been cold. We appreciate light because we have been in darkness. By the same token, we can experience joy because we have known sadness.
There is no greater sorrow than to recall in misery the time when we were happy.

today we went to the hydroponics farm off Bah Soon Pah Road. it's a nice farm, tho i didnt think so at first. i think it was the veggie/plant shop at the end of the tour that made me think so. plus i knew some stuff that was mentioned during the tour. happy lor.
i bought 4 packets of oyster mushroom (thanks to jie jie who intro-ed me to this mushroom), at $3 for all 4 packets. what a steal! i heard from granny that 1 pack from outside (ie supermarket, wet market) costs $1.60/$2.60. hah. luckily i had the sense to buy the oyster mushroom tho a classmate told me: "hah?! this kind of thing also want to buy?!" of cos i will buy la, you think i listen to you meh? you dont know how to enjoy good and nice food. at first i bought 2 packets, then decided to buy another 2.. hahaa granny was so happy when i came back, mum too. granny praised me for 'being a good girl and buying veggies home although i visited a farm during school hours and had to carry everything around in school". happy la. and i bought a $1 plant for mum. i couldnt tell her what plant it was, tho. that about makes up for all the weird looks i get from people when they see me carrying mushrooms and a potted plant home.
another thing. SOME PEOPLE PISS THE HELL OUT OF ME!!! THEY SEEM TO MAKE THEIR LIVES CENTRED AROUND PISSING ME OFF. what does that achieve for them?! satisfaction in seeing my face turn red, then splotchy, and then my mouth exploding in vulgarities?? immature morons.
and i'm a moron for letting them piss me off. obviously after so many years of "wanling, learn to control your temper " i still get that way. i havent learnt anything. at home, when i get pissed off, i shoot my mouth off. outside, when i get pissed off, i shut up. what's the similarity then, people ask? well. my face turns black. whether or not i say anything, my anger is apparent. and i'd better learn to control it before something drastic happens, and i lose another person i love again, without the chance to ever say sorry, to get them back again. and to ask for forgiveness.
FYP sucks. everything about it. the experiments itself, getting crappy results, writing that report, doing that freaking presentation.
thank god for facebook. otherwise i would never have anything to do online. and i love the apps, esp. those which allow you to irritate, poke or kick your friends. and gift them stuff. i love gifting. (not in real life tho, cos i'm usually hard-up. if i'm not, hey, i will gift often)
"Women are not making it up when they say they're damned if they do, damned if they don't," said Stephanie Shields, the psychology professor who conducted the study. "If you don't express any emotion, you're seen as not human, like Mr. Spock on 'Star Trek,'" she said. "But too much crying, or the wrong kind, and you're labeled as overemotional, out of control, and possibly irrational."
Exactly. I'm labelled 'Mr Spock'. Or anything similar, cos of my lack of emotion. I don't cry. Usually when I do it's cos I lost control of myself, and am beyond myself with fury. Sad case. 'Mr Spock' gets labelled as cold-blooded when she doesnt show emotions, and overemotional if she does.
Quizzes are the craziest thing in our poly. Look at our schedule!
And that's not all. FYP presentation is from wk9-10 (so that the timeslots can accommodate all the groups of Year Three DBT students from Stage A and Stage B.) Wk11 is scheduled for the distinction selection - I'll never make it, and if I do, I might or might not go to try. Reason 1 being, I absolutely am not aware of what my FYP is for. Reason 2 being I HATE PRESENTING! I shiver, I shudder, I get butterflies, I faint, I swoon. And I have to wear formals. I hate skirts. I hate formals.
'scuse me now, gotta go mug for the CP2040 quiz 1 - Good Manufacturing Practice. (next week's Wk5)
the previous song's like always running in my head, every waking moment. i hum abit here and there. okay, so i sing them too. but only the first para heh heh heh.
oh. life sucks.
okay, it's getting better actually. (i cant believe the pessimist me is saying this! everyone should love me for that!) FYP's almost over! and i'm done with the part of the report i'v been assigned. there's still more tho, but i'll just let it come and stop fretting. YAY!! life rocks. and coffee's my saviour! today i'm like so wide-awake and i could even write notes and listen at the same time (this woman here has never been able to multi-task), or even play handphone games (dont tell my mum!) and listen at the same time. i rock. ermmm.. thats so not me right? i'm just going crazy already man...
another very very interesting thing. facebook. superlatives. it's an application. i got like, voted by ppl to be the 'most talkative'?!? i admit i always have verbal diarrhoea, to anyone who bothers to talk to me enough. which is like nobody in poly. i always feel so closed-up, so vulnerable, so gullible and naive whenever i'm thrown outside my comfort zone. i even got cheated by the fyp mates i'm working with. =.=""" i'm not street-smart, and poly's not my cup of tea. no amount of intelligence will ever make up for what i'm lacking. (not that i have loads of intelligence)
i NEED a new bag! a huge one. if u'v seen me lugging my sling bag around, u will know how big i love my bags to be.. A4.. and then some. and within budget. i'v busted my pocket again.

Oh okay, so "Wild Horses" was sung by the Rolling Stones. I don't think it's Daniel Letterle who sang the "wild horses" in Camp. Unless he's that great in getting all the nuances, accents, and voice down-pat. Some of the parts have different nuances.. But they are slight.. Don't listen carefully and you can't tell the difference. But wth, so who sang the "wild horses" in Camp? Letterle or Rolling Stones??
And who the heck is Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards? OMG in this time and era I still don't know who the Rolling Stones are. And I never heard of Keith Richards until I knew that Jack Sparrow was modelled after him. Cool.
School's very boring man. But today we had Agrotechnology practical (something on plants), and we - namely me D FW - washed the Green Wonder.. That's the huge water/nutrient container in which we submerge plants in the Nutrient Film Technique (??)
Okay la, I don't understand what all these techniques are, anymore than non-science students do..
On the way back home from the MRT station today, I bought a sweet corn ice cream from the ice cream uncle. Let's call him Lao Uncle. He's very poor thing, I see him there almost everyday, at the same location. When he's not at that location, he's just like 10 metres away.. vying with another - younger, albeit more friendly - ice cream uncle. So of course more people buy from the younger ice cream uncle.
And the human traffic at that area that Lao Uncle works at, is very low. On top of that, fewer of the people who pass him by actually buy from him. So even if he charges $10/ice cream, it wouldn't make any difference to him. I mean, what can $10 do in Singapore nowadays? Much less that measly $1 he gets for every ice cream he sells? And that is not the profit. Counting the ice cream, those wafer biscuits and the piece of plastic he provides with each ice cream - he makes a profit of only around $0.60/ice cream?? Very little lei.
I bought from him today only because I was feeling thirsty.. And tired and in a bad mood cos of stress.. So too lazy to go Mac's.. I prefer the MacDonald's Oreo McFlurry (really, I have a super soft spot for it =X) Maybe to make life easier for him I should pay $2. But wah lau, only ice cream lei. And not as nice as McFlurry also.
I pity him la, every single day for every single year of his remaining life he spends rotting away under his umbrella, in the hot sun, waiting for people to buy things from him. Another reason why people don't buy ice cream from him is because he's really really really super slow. Man man tun tun wear his plastic gloves, man man tun tun take out the ice cream, man man tun tun cut ice cream, man man tun tun take biscuit and put on both sides of ice cream, and man man tun tun hand over the ice cream! Old liao la.. And most likely depressed. See his face everyday like that.
Aiyoh. We have life so easy. At least even if school sucks, we still have graduation to look forward to, as least we know the amount of time left for us to suffer. If work sucks, we can always hold out for a little longer for that f-ing bonus that won't come fast enough! and then quit cos we already have the qualifications to find another job. (i'm not in this category hor) That Lao Uncle doesn't know how long more he must suffer.
My place has so many buskers, tissue-sellers, ice cream uncles.. That I just have to avert my eyes everytime I see them if I dont want to buy anything. Sad state la. Singapore's so affluent, yet we still have so many poor people. Just like HongKong, Korea etc.. And I gripe about not having pocket money for a week =X i'm spoilt.
Am a girl who generally acts nice in public, but inside her head, she probably thinks you're a waste of life. And that's why she's quiet.
