You Should Have Super Long Hair |
 You are free spirited and carefree. You are a total wild child, and no one is going to tame you! Your hair tells people that you're an individual who doesn't care what other people think. You and your hair break all the rules. You are a mysterious type who has many secrets. You prefer to keep to yourself. There's a lot hiding behind that hair. Very few people truly understand what you are all about. |

~Today~
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today
I'll be a dandy, and I'll be a rover
You'll know who I am by the songs that I sing
I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover
Who cares what the morrow shall bring
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today
I can't be contented with yesterday's glory
I can't live on promises winter to spring
Today is my moment, now is my story
I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today ~John Denver

Yay! Back to the blogosphere. Haven't blogged for quite a while. Tomorrow's cross country but being a first aider, I don't have to run. YAY!!! =D! I'll be located at Station 4. To those making this pilgrimage, I'll be your first glimpse of civilization; the light at the end of the tunnel! HO! HO! XD! Ok, I'm actually stationed at the part where the forest trail meets the road. So, if anyone's tired, let me know and I'll command the boys at Station 4 to carry you to the finishing point on a stretcher, or perhaps in an ambulance if you want. ;)
Just kidding.
Really, the SJAB uniform makes people look like security guards. The skirt alone exaggerates the size of my already fleshy butt. But it's reasonably airy so it's ok, I guess. =) I am determined to tie a chignon (say sheen-yon, it's French!) tomorrow. It's some kind of bun located at the nape. I can't do my usual ah mah bun because of the beret. =( Oh, and I must remember to bring my umbrella and water bottle! *scribbles down*
>< Argh! I hope it will be cool tomorrow if not I'll melt in this security guard attire. =(
Oh, and don't forget to watch out for monkeys. Even though my dear mentor said that he wasn't attacked by those bold primates while he was blatantly eating potato chips while surveying the area (he's a high-ranking road martial! <3). Perhaps it's because he looks like one! ;) JUST JOKING, OK?
I was a victim of monkey attack at MacRitchie. When we were in Primary 6, we went on a field trip to the reservoir. I was holding a transparent plastic bag (containing stationery and my water bottle) when a monkey just jumped and clinged onto my arm. It didn't let go so in my shock, I swung my arm around. And it flew off. Ok, I meant it jumped off. =P
Gonna eat my dinner now!
All the best for the cross country! (Go Nobel!!!)

Yay! Shan't be running for cross country! =D Should've joined SJAB a long time ago. (Right Si Ying?) XD!
I got 18 something for 2.4. ='( I hope I don't have to re-run it! But the problem is I can't remember what that 'something' was. And as Junyan had said, "IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!" =(
Well, I didn't know I'll feel nauseous while running the later laps. (First 2 were fine! I was even blowing kisses to those in 409 who were cheering me and smiling at Adeline and Xinyuan! =D) I know running after a full meal will make one vomit but I didn't know that not eating breakfast and drinking a lot of water will make one vomit too. =( And *ahem* it's not morning sickness. *sighs* So sad. I don't wanna run another 2.4km if I have to. ><
But I was very heartened by the concern I got. =) I was in Group 2 which comprised of (Zhi Xin, Mag and I) with 9 other boys. Of all the people running in the same group as I, only 2 boys actually asked if I was alright. If I was going to get any concern from anyone, I would expect it coming from females, so I didn't expect it coming from males. Anyway, I was quite heartened by it, not all males are heartless brutes when they see a damsel in distress. Ho! Ho! Ho! Bryan slowed his pace (feel quite guilty for it 'cause he's one of the more athletic in class) and asked me if I'm fine. And the other boy was ... ... ... Ahmed! I really didn't see that coming. He actually turned around twice to ask if I'm ok. In case you're wondering why I'm semi-gushing over this, it's because I've realised that certain people are more caring than they seem. =D Hanisah and Terry asked if I'm fine too, Mao Jia and Feyra accompanied me for my last lap, Mag and Feyra walked me back to class, Mao Jia passed me my WATERBOTTLE and Zhi Xin gave me a sweet! Oh, it was so sweet! (Pardon the pun, it was unintentional.)
The nausea was more than worth it. I got to feel the essence of human kindness that day. =D (Just pray that I don't need to run again, ok?)
(the following is adapted from an email I received)
People come into our lives for a Reason, a Season or a Lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in your life for a Reason, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part, or at an inconvienient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realise is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a Season, because your turn has come to share, grow and learn.
They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something which you have never learnt before.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.
Lifetime relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
So to all those people out there (reading this blog post), thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season, or a lifetime... ... ...

Came across this on the web:
She said, "Mama look at the flowers. Can I pick one?"
I said, "No baby, why don't we just take a picture of them, because when you pick them they die."
She said, "They die?"
I said, "Yes baby, they do. But if you take a picture you can have them with you forever."
She said, "Is that why you take my picture all the time mama, so I can be with you forever?"
I said, with a aching heart and a smile on my face, "That's right baby. So I can have you forever."
She just smiled and said, "I love you Mama."

Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.
