Ms. Prema...

I want Prema!!!!! For those who do not know who Prema is, well, she is my favourite English teacher. She also happens to be my idol ^.^ but sadly, she left us without even saying goodbye. Last Tuesday morning, when I was looking forward to see her in class, out of a sudden, another teacher came in. I was like "Who is this teacher? She is not Prema. Where is Prema?" Then I thought okay may be she is not free on that day. Who would ever thought that she is not free to teach us for the rest of this semester. *disappointed and shocked* Its not that Ms. Saleha is not good; it just that I prefer Prema. Now I do not have any desire to attend English class anymore. *sigh*

The Porcupine's Strategy

Little Miranda was alone in the garden. I was watching her distractedly, occasionally glancing over the top of my newspaper. Almost kneeling, she was slowly approaching the fence, trying to make as little noise as possible. I thought she was looking for mushrooms or that she was pretending she was a giant mouse.

But after a few minutes I heard her cry out. It was a lusty cry, followed by a bout of tears. I jumped out of my chair and ran out to the garden, in my bare feet. Miranda was holding her index finger.It was bleeding, but it didn't look too bad. I ran some water over it, asking what she could have touched that madeher finger bleed, in a garden that I had planted with grass and otherharmless plants. "I wanted to touch the animal," she replied, "but it didn't let me come close, so I stretched out my arm and it did this. Then it ran away. It's too bad. I didn't want to hurt it."

"What animal?" I asked. "The white and black ball, down there," she said, pointing to the end of the garden. I picked up a broomstick I found in the kitchen and went back outside. In the garden, half buried in an old gopher hole, I found the animal. It was a porcupine. I remembered what I had learned in my natural science class. The porcupine is a solitary animal. When confronted, it either retreats or projects its needles. Once the needles have penetrated the flesh, the wounds become infected and, in some cases, can cause death.

Miranda had presented no danger to the porcupine, but it didn't know what else to do except wound her, or get wounded itself. Nature, in creating its instinct, gave the porcupine no choice: instead of communicating, it had to launch its needles. That is the only strategy it knows, and no one can change it, not even a little girl who wants to make a friend._

Is the porcupine the only animal touse this type of defense? No, people apply it every day of their lives. But our needles are more vicious, and better hidden. Words,blows, looks, anger, pride... these are the arms we use to attack those who seem to be adversaries. But even a porcupine has to get close to other porcupines at some time. If not the species would disappear.

Fair? Not fair?

I can't take it anymore!!!

You can say whatever you want to say about me like I am lazy or selfish cause you know what? I DON'T CARE... This is like so annoying!!! I've been home for about 3 weeks and I am not enjoying it... I don't mind helping you but this is TOO MUCH... Don't I deserve a break? after working hard for my semester break?? huh???

I cleaned my room but she did not!!! and you say I did not clean my room because she put her stuff in my room... What about her room??? This is so unfair!!! I also cleaned the shoe rack!!! I vacuum the spider web!!! I changed the sofa cloth!!! What did she contribute to the house??? I hang the clothes every night!!! What about her??? The clothes are pilling so high until the basket can't even fit them... So what if she is busy??? yeah she is very "busy"... Fine! So I helped her to fold the clothes once and now you want me to do it again??? This is ridiculous... I feel unappreciated in this family... She get to escape her chores and I have do her chores also just because I am in semester break... Sometimes I feel like staying in campus without having to do all this CRAP... SO what if I stay up until 4 in the morning??? Hey she didn't sleep for the whole night more than once... Did you say anything about that???

Yesterday I went to pump petrol just like you asked... and just because I did not go to BHP, you don't have to get all fussy about it... just because you want to use the rebate points... God, how am I suppose to know???

WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF

I hate all these duties and responsibilities... I AM SO SICK OF IT!!!!!!!!! I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it................. I am feeling so angry and disappointed at this moment...

Study hard...

"Ai Lyn, study hard okay?" This is what I always heard ever since I was a small girl. When I was much younger, I always study hard AS I WAS TOLD. BUT this doesn't work on me now. Come to think of it. I was never study for other's sake. I did it for MYSELF okay (although subconsciously) Therefore, I do not really like all those auntie uncle telling this to me. Why can't they tell me things other than STUDY HARD? For example, why not "be happy"? What about "stay healthy"? Doesn't all these things important? Why must it always be "study hard"??? My situation is just like the chinese new year advertisement by Yeo's. The grandma has been hearing "Gong Xi Fa Chai" from her grandchildren for years. Then there is this younger grandchild who wishes her to be healthy and that is what she wanted to hear! You see, this applies to my situation. All I want to hear is OTHER THAN STUDY HARD! Well I can see that it is pointless blogging my feelings here. My relatives do not know how I feel and they definitely do not have any access to this blog.

Thats it for now. Signing off...

It's been a long time ^_^

Wow!!! Damn long I didn't have time to update my bloggie... Uni life is sure a hectic one...

Well, a lot of things has happened during these few months..

Lets begin with the most recent one:
Yesterday, I went to my primary class reunion... It was quite fun... I got to catch up with my primary friends as well as secondary friends -- considered I have been isolated in Semenyih for so long... LOL X) The feeling was quite good... I even talked to those whom I didn't know well during primary... Well, I guess I can say we have all grown up ^^ but some just stay the same... Its just like they have never changed except being taller... Oh yeah!!! I finally got to see my old friend Bi Lin. Kai Jia and Kai Li of course =) Well, they still look the same to me except Bi Lin's hair has grown longer than ever *wonder when is she gonna cut her hair* and Kai Li has a new look (maggie mee hair...LOL).
And I must congratulate Bi Lin for finally made up her mind to pursue her tertiary education *applause*

Haha... Bi Lin's present for my b'day ^^

So cute!!! Kawai =) See! I am using it now...

Wonder what I have been doing lately?

Well my life is quite simply:- sleep, wake up, play computer games/PS, eat and sleep again... Huhuhu... what a way to enjoy life *yeah*

but now I have added a new agenda on my daily to-do list --> study T.T Sadly, this ain't my actual semester break... Having exam on early Jan 2008... Imagine how stupid is it to give students holidays just for exam purpose... I don't know you guys but to me, I rather than take the exam before going for holiday... that way its more enjoyable... Well, I am suppose to do some studying right now but what the heck, it can wait *bluek*

Currently, I am thinking whether to have a healthy lifestyle and a pimple-free face or the night life that I am going through right now... Of course nobody in the right mind won't choose the first option but it just very tough for me to change my timezone...Haiz no thanks to staying up late doing assignments... Too bad I do not possess good skin quality T.T I have a friend who can stay up very late and not have a single pimple on her face... *envy envy envy envy envy!!!*

Ok I am signing off now... Bye... promise will update my blog whenever I can... Oh and Merry Christmas to all you guys!!!

P/S: Sorry voon... (about the buffet thingy)

Fingerprint

Tried it myself and I think what it says about me is absolutely true!

Here are the two different patterns of circles and waves seen on every finger. To make a reading, look at your thumb print first, then your index finger, your middle finger, your ring finger and then your little finger in that order. This is the sequence that offers clues to your destiny & fortunes of your life. For ease of reference we shall refer to circles as Os and to waves as Ws.Fingers:

OOOOO (all whorls)

Means: This person is very confident, has a strong character and a hot temper. He/she is an independent person. The luck of this person changes dramatically in life from one period to the next. The undoing of this person will be his/her hot temper so it is vital that this person must learn to be patient and calm.

Shape: WWWWW (all waves)

Means: This person is a straightforward honest person who goes with the flow. The fingers indicate someone very sensitive, who is especially suited to design and creative work. People with these fingerprint patterns tend to be shy and uncomfortable in social situations, so are not suited to work in PR, politics or any kind of work requiring them to meet people.

Shape: OWWWO

Means: If you can choose a prestigious working career, you will be very successful. However, you should avoid the tendency to get big-headed and you must never take your career for granted. You should also watch your back, as you tend to attract jealousy into your life and could get betrayed. Always look for long-term benefits.

Shape: OWWOW

Means: You will need to work harder during the early days of your career. When you reach middle and older age, you will get recognition and wealth luck. So your life gets better the older you get.

Shape: OWOWW

Means: It is vital that you resist the tendency to be narrow-minded in your attitudes and in the way you think and work. Try to be humble and learn as much as possible. This is how you will get influential help that brings you to the peak of your business and career life.

Shape: WOOOO

Means: You are a very clear-minded person. As long as you work hard, you are guaranteed to be successful. Even though you tend to be in a hurry, there will be those who help you along. You are also a person with a kind heart.

Shape: OOOOW

Means: Because you are kind and have an in-built polite attitude, you will easily get help from older persons and friends. You will enjoy great success in your working life and your only weakness is you don't trust people too easily. This can make you too conservative.

Shape: OOOWW

Means: You have a tendency to be bad tempered, and rather quick to judge. This is a shallow attitude and could easily get you onto the wrong path. If you can correct this tendency of yours, you will have great success. The potential is in you, so try to be calm in your approach.

Shape: OWWWW

Means: You have good character but can only become really successful in older age. Be prepared to have to work really hard during your younger and middle age periods, but you will become a successful person in older years.

Shape: WOWWW

Means: You are very good in the social skills. No matter what industry you are in, you like to take risk and you will always face uncertainty. Be careful as the later years of your life could bring yet more challenges. Take less risk as you get older.

Shape: WOWOO

Means: You are a very sociable person and you enjoy the carefree kind of life going out, partying and clubbing. When you reach middle and older age, you will rely on people to support you. Be warned, if you do not prepare yourself, you might have a hard time during your older years.

Shape: WOWOW

Means: You are not an easy person to control or to convince, as you are something of a rebel. If you can stay focused on what you want from life, you will be successful. The problem is that you can be fickle and vague in what you really want from life.

Shape: WWOWO

Means: Your whole life is full of ups and downs, successes and failures. However, if you can move steadily step-by-step, you can enjoy a peaceful life as you grow into maturity.
