one more to goooo!

in a fast paced society where the city awakes at 6am in the morning and car engines start polluting the air,it is sure that our society has high standards.

we are in a society whereby it is essential to 'move up'. Be it moving up on the career ladder, or simply moving up the number of floors you live in. everyone focuses on a better living of life, and it is but a vicious cycle that will keep repeating in the future to come.

however, does the character and humanity of a person gets affected due to the fast-paced movement of a society?

when we look into the woes of workers in a big company, we do see many such cases of individuals moving up the career ladder through underhand means, and even 'overthrowing' the leaders of the company who became leaders out of their hard work. it clearly exemplifies that we have somehow forgotten about our morals, and think that getting to the top is all that matters.

what has the world gone to? why are the abilities of a person judged just based on a piece of paper? why is it that only people with certificates get to the higher-end of life, although they might lack in humanity and character?

it seems to me that people forget about the hands that fed them the moment they are able to feed themselves.

a rich man with a wicked heart may be living a good life, problemless. a poor man with a good heart will be living a rough life, however, through the setbacks that go to him he is able to learn and be even stronger. he will see the things that most of us wouldn't see. He would be able to see the ugliness of people, and through that, nurture his already good heart.

nobody cares if you have a good heart or not. not even your friends, sometimes. as long as you are rich, you have the money to spend on them, they would be all happy with you. salesmen smile when you purchase something, and they will bootlick you all the way. However, if you just enquire about a product and leave empty-handed, he is going to frown.

true, you might say he is doing his job, which is to get people to buy the product. but do you really think that is what he wants to do? He just wants to earn his commission.

that is all in all, the ugliness of the working world.

12th April, 2006. 8:20 pm. my hates.

sheesh. i just remembered the dateline for the blog entries is tomorrow! oh mama, i am still 2 entries short! okay. my brain cells are seriously dead and i cant think of a nice and interesting topic to blog about, so i shall talk about my pet peeves, a topic suggested a few weeks back.

i hate it when guys, or worst still, girls shake their legs. abit is acceptable to me. but vigorous shaking is disgusting and looks so wrong. of course it would be a different case if that person suffers from parkinson illness, like my grandfather does. but come on, the disease doesnt affect teenagers like us! i hate it when people act like they watched the movie when they didnt, and they tell their friends whatever, lets say, a family member who watched the movie, said to them. its so irritating please. you said so much like you watched the movie but ended up not! i hate it when girls who initiate breakups and after a few months, they run back to their ex-boyfriends going i miss you bla bla. if you know you would miss him, what for break up with him in the first place!

last but not least, i hate the secondary ones this year!

arghh. bad topic to blog about. i am actually feeling so angry now -.-

okay. done.

9th April, 2006. 12:00 pm. school carnival.

i just realised i am three entries short.

oh well. here it comes.

yesterday's carnival was something i have been anticipating since OBS ended. the carnival was pretty fun to me partly because the graduates were back. and on the other hand, it was the first time, since stepping into this school, bmss was organising a carnival like this. pure excitement.

my class volunteered to be in charge of the manicure stall and car wash. i am not too sure about the earnings of the manicure stall but we earned about $100+ for our car wash, washing over 20 cars. i think and am sure, the best earning stall was the dunking machine. $5 for 3 tries to dunk any student you like. a senior of mine, dared me to get dunked. and when i did, he didnt do anything to reward me! -rolls eye. haha.

the most exciting part was when mrs chin and miss prema got dunked for $500 and $100 respectively. practically the whole school had eyes on them. everyone cheered the moment the two of them got dunked. to me, its so not worth it. the $600 spent could just be used to dunk many other students for 360 tries! but its okay, looking at another angle, who would spent $600 to dunk students? haha.

anyway, i think that everyone's efforts have paid off at the carnival. i definitely hope that bmss would organise a carnival like that in the future again.

the needy pupils are the richest now.

2 words.

rob them.

HAHA. just kidding. i am not that mean.

2 more. sigh.

1st February, 2006. 8:54 pm. ...

i swear this is a very impromptu entry.

sometimes, i really cant help but to disagree with the saying, time heals all wounds.

i just wish i could have this brain wash, to erase redundant stuffs occupying up my mind space. put it this way, there's something i really wished i could forget. but time to time, things happen, and i get reminded by it again and again. i hate it. the feeling's so saddening, and makes me think that my life is somehow not worth to live for.

i watched a tv show, and the female lead went something like, "even though i cannot be with him, traces of memories are enough."

she will be reminded of those happy times of the past. and wished that she and that guy could be together again, but as a matter of fact, they cant. isnt that more hurting? why must memories exist? why cant i feel how she's feeling. maybe, its just a tv show, and cant be proved in reality. if only our brain works like a computer, happy? save. not happy? delete.

if there's somebody by the name of memories, i will be the first one to kill he/she. felicia is such a sad girl today. blah.

i posted it here because i didnt want to post in my other public blog, where all my other friends read.

>_>

28th January, 2006. 2:38 pm. its a trend thing.

As it is the year of the dogs, many people are buying dogs, mainly for good luck. I think it is not right to buy dogs just because it is the 'dog year'. As from what i perceive, those people are just buying it for the thrill of it. Buying something just because it is the year of something is what i would term as impulse shopping. What's more, a pet is for life, and would they really take care of it?

After the novelty wears off, these irresponsible pet owners will ill treat them and send them to the SPCA, hoping that someone will adopt their pet. Even the SPCA is growing out of space due to the high number of animals that got abandoned. From a recent survey i saw on the tv, it is said that the number of abandoned animals doubled since 5 years ago.

If there is no kind soul willing to adopt the pets, putting them to sleep would be the only choice left. I pity the animals because they came to this world in hope of finding a good owner, and yet they have to leave this world without their wish fulfilled.

Therefore, i discourage people from buying things just because it is 'in', especially when it comes to pets.

i am sorry for this late entry.

happy chinese new year MDM KONG and everyone who reads this(:

13th January, 2006. 9:39 am. Life as an upper secondary student.

since lower secondary, i always thought that being able to be labelled as an upper secondary is somewhat cool, where the little juniors look up to you as big brothers and big sisters ecetra. yes i still have that thinking, because it gives me the maturity feeling of an young adult. and now, i am actually experiencing it. how time flies.

the subjects we are studying this year, though fewer, are more challenging because the depth of the subjects are deeper, as compared to the last two years. and obviously, the books carried everyday to school are thicker, and thus heavier.

another change is the classmates around. in secondary two, we are splitted into different classes to determine what kind of subjects suit our ability. i find my class rather alright. since our school population is so small, so we would know each other already through past school activities. there is not much of  'making friends' to do. as a matter of fact, i still miss my last class.

i think i have written quite alot for a journal entry. okay. stop here.

have a nice day (:



Current mood: i dont know how to use this!.
