why is it that bad experiences almost always overpower good ones? maybe its simply because that negative emotions like sadness and anger are always stronger and make more impact on us than positive ones like happiness. positive emotions are also often short-lived. maybe thats why bad encounters are more deeply rooted in our minds.
so often, we get so furious with someone that we forget all the happiness he/she brought, or we simply brush it off. there's nothing wrong in being angry, just dont let anger blind you. do remember that that person once brought you joy (not he though *private joke), even if he/she did do you wrong this time round.
'forgive and forget'. easy to say, difficult to do. but it would definitely be better to have one more friend than one less right. so do try.
just a random thought on my way home. could have written more if i didnt put off blogging till now. or perhaps it would just be better written if i wrote it for myself. -points downwards- =D
You're a "Blue Angel". You're a smarter one than most and are the more logical than anyone you know. You also have very strong morals that you stick to through it all and you'd stand up for whatever you believe in even if no one else agrees. You're a little bit shy around people but you love to be with lots of people anyway. You have appreciation for things like music or poetry or art. You yourself can sing or write fairly well but only for yourself. You're very thoughtful and people love how creative you are.

note to simeng: since you're so excited so here goes, im updating.
today, i found out that oddball has a dream. and you'll never guess what that is. before i satisfy your eagar minds, plesae take a deep breath and stay calm. -drumroll- she wants to be -dramatic pause- the leader of vjc's bridge club. i hear gasps and whaaaaaaat?!s. yes im not pulling your leg.
so the story behind:
odd: (prolly after seeing how much fun we are having playing bridge, or then again maybe not. read on anyway.) i want to join bridge club. and i want to be the leader.
her gang: (snickers and laughs silently)
sybil: but you dont even know how to play bridge, how to be the leader?
odd: (brushes off the fact that she doesnt know how to play) bridge club very small one lah, very easy to be leader.
someone: why you want to be the leader of bridge club?
odd: can get leadership points what.
simeng: if i join then you got no chance to be leader liao.
odd: huh.. (ponders) then i can be the vice president!
note: i made most of the dialogue up but that's probably the gist of it, from what my very reliable sources tell me.
so that explains her sudden aspiration. anyway. we should not be putting her down like evil simeng ("if i join then you got no chance"). everyone's entitled to dream. in fact, it is good to dream. especially when the possibility of it becoming a reality is as high a possibility of me doing ballet. so simeng, stop discouraging her and let her seek comfort in that aspiration.
by the way, if she does become the leader of bridge club one year later, we can safely say that miracles do happen.
afterthought: i dont believe in miracles.

in case you think xinyi died from the the immense pressure of the prelims, well, she havent. in fact, she's very much alive and kicking. i feel like mr yap, writing in a third person's point of view. so the past week was one hella week, but i did get through, not because the papers were a breeze (for most got me thinking and sweating), but simply because i did pull through. okay that was absolutely redundant but who cares.
i highly doubt anyone would want to read about me ranting on about how difficult the papers were (and i think oddy should get a hint and stop doing that after every single paper. especially when i hate to admit that she would probably ace every single one of them. so shut up already odd.) on a very brief note, i totally screwed history. i'll be lucky if i actually scrape a B for my combined humans.
the week ahead wouldn't be tough to get by, mostly filled with paper ones and practicals. and bloody chinese. i can finish sec3 chem in a day but i can hardly finish half the compiled chinese handbook. why the hell did i even choose to retake chinese. must have been seriously outta my mind.
cant wait for the prelims to be over. then we fast forward the getting results part to the block periods. that would be good.
did you know that a 20 dollar rubber basketball is tougher than a name-your-price human? cos my ball got driven over by a car and got away with a only few 'scars' from the black oil but if its you that was driven over, i wouldnt want to imagine what kind of scars you'll get away with.

one week ago, i hoped that i would be blogging about how i worked my ass off and how im as prepared as oddy for the bloody prelims. sad to say, i havent and im no where near oddy's level of preparedness. but that's just too bad. for me that is.
so ive spent my holidays at kembangan cc. playing my heart out in the court in the morning and trying to focus on some science crap in the cafe for the rest of the day. so far ive only finished studying chem and physics. yes that's how productive, or rather, unproductive i am.
ive just read through the above two paragraphs and realised how boring i am, and how boring i sound. but heck, it beats having ppl read "tmr's the start of prelims" for the thousandth time.

tmr's the start of the prelims. i feel ill-prepared. its..too fast. i didnt even see it coming (for i was playing all the time). -kicks myself- havent started revision for my sciences at all. i can eat shit. and do super badly. a note of consolation for myself, the damned ss textbook said that the compulsory six years of primary education prepares me for a job in the 21st century. maybe i'll survive with only that one cert. yeah right xinyi, box yourself.
yes im nutty. box me.
yes im nutty. box me.
