NAIL IN THE FENCE
There once was a little boy who had a bad
temper. His Father gave him a bag of nails
and told him that every time he lost his
temper, he must hammer a nail into the back
of the fence. The first day the boy had
driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next
few weeks, as he learned to control his
anger, the number of nails hammered daily
gradually dwindled down. He discovered
it was easier to hold his temper than to
drive those nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn't
lose his temper at all. He told his father
about it and the father suggested that the
boy now pull out one nail for each day that
he was able to hold his temper.
The days passed and the young boy was finally
able to tell his father that all the nails
were gone. The father took his son by the
hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You
have done well, my son, but look at the
holes in the fence. The fence will never be
the same. When you say things in anger,
they leave a scar just like this one. You
can put a knife in a man and draw it out.
It won't matter how many times you say I'm
sorry, the wound is still there. " A verbal
wound is as bad as a physical one.
Friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They
make you smile and encourage you to succeed.
They lend an ear, they share words of praise
and they always want to open their hearts to us."
hey people...was reading this mail and i thought it was very meaningful. just want to share it with all of you guys. haha too lazy to post anything today. yeAh! my birthday's coming in 4 days time! haha cant wait for that day to come. heehee...wonder if i should skip band this friday since there is a high percentage that the stupid ms sia will not come. hmmm...maybe i should skip monday since it's the day after my birthday...well well....i guess everything will have to depend on my mood on friday...(",)

yipEee!! haha today is one slack day. hahaha lessons ended at like 10.20? heehee coolness! actually lessons technically ends at 11.45, but apparently mr kwek is not here today, we self dismissed ourselves at 10.20...but sad life, we have to come back to school at 3.05 for PE. argh....so stupid. there's 4 free periods before we have PE. waste time. could have go home so much earlier. oh well, me, serena, kah woon, christine, lynn and avril went to TM for breakfast even thought we already ate in school. omg...we people can really eat. sat at McDonalds for quite long and slack the whole time. all of us decided to leave early so we can sleep in class for a while before PE starts. we headed for the bus stop to take bus no.3 back. yeah! finally the bus came after 15 mins of waiting...but...the stupid, idiotic, asshole, sucker, fish head, pea-brain dino, blind bus driver never stop and drove pass us!!!!!!!!!
*piSseD* all of us were so mad at the driver...i mean how could he not see a bunch of people at the bus stop waiting for bus? he must be really blind man. swear i could have killed him at that spot. nevermind. we took the train to pasir ris in the end. so stupid. walked to the bus stop and bus 3 came quite some time later. a familiar bus came in sight. it was that bus that left us at the bus stop!!! hahahaha so coincident. nothing happened. just when we were getting off the bus, serena just realised that she forgot to bring her PE attire. smartness. we were talking about how torturous PE will be all the while and it took her such a long time to realised that she forgot about her attire. she called home and her sis took cab to bring her attire to the school. haha lucky...hmmm....i m tired now...my whole body is aching. today's PE lesson is not meant for humans to do!!! u people know what i mean. have to run around the track once for warm up, then do two rounds of circuits around the track as conditioning for the upcoming NAPFA test. sickening. wait...that's not all, after that, we are supposed to run four rounds around the track!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*pEngZ* but during the second round of circuit, it rained. wahahahahahahahahaha. then again, the teachers are not that nice. we have to do all the things in the hall...and yea, run four rounds around the hall area. i die-ed. heehee...we all cheated. ran three rounds only. yupz. set of for home after PE. slept for a while after a nice cooling bath. now, watching tv and not bothering about homework. oh man...i think i've slack too much. desperately need to get down to serious study if not i m gonna suffer...i mean my result's gonna suffer.

omg...so tired!! today is the start of the new time table. there's all three tutorials and it's so boring...doze off for a lot of lessons. haha during my self study period, went to SCAS for voluntery services. hmmm...i've been attached to this class called 16B. all the children in that class are very dependent on the volunteers to take care of them. got myself to take care of this kid called faris. he's cute, but got attitude one. he has the tendancy to throw things and hit people. and yea...i was the victim. he keeps hitting my nose and throwing the toys. but well, i have no choice...i cant possibly scream and hit him back. i m quite an impatient person actually...frankly, after being a volunteer there, i have learn how to be patient with these kids. really patient. we had music class and all of us will sing and have some hands movements to teach them. well, most of them are not responding though. we went around holding their hands and moving it around. heehee...actually, most of the time i was just standing there and helping the kid to clean his saliva. i cant help feeling disgusted at first when i have to hold a hand that is filled with saliva. i just keep telling myself their saliva is not dirty...hey...it's not easy to overcome these fears. stayed there till about 4.30 when they are dismissed. yupz...that place definitely left a deep impact on me. went back to school for band...argh...so tired. i wasnt in a good mood then cos i was perspiring so much and i was having a bad hair day. yea...today's band isnt that bad...but i didnt get a chance to play the trumpet again cos there wasnt enough for everyone. kinda unfair cos me and huiwen are always the one who have to sarcrifice our trumpet for other people. then again, who ask us to be new players...sigh...it's always so unfair sometimes. especially the way yu hian treats us. sucker. i m just hoping and praying very hard that ms sia will not make a fool out of me and huiwen on the day of the concert again...i'm afraid that history might repeat itself. last year's concert was a disaster...i cried in the changing room. luckily not much people knew about it...if not for mr chua, i would have left and not join the band for concert. pathetic life.
*haiZ* okie...that's enough. let's move on. have to do hw later. feel like slapping myself. i left my econs wb in school again and i cant do my work. ass...guess i can only do maths tutorial ba...

woke up today with my whole body aching from the killer PE lesson that we had yesterday...man...laze on my bed for like 1hour? i think longer than before messages came in...lynn asked me if we wanna go out today...but i was sort of low on cash so i didnt really want to go. but on second thought, i havent been going out for a long time cos i have been grounded for so long...since block test had just past, it would be a great opportunity to ask my mum to let me out. i messaged lynn again to ask her if she want to go out after fighting for my freedom with my mum...and yeah! she can go together with avril, douglas and serena. at around 1 plus, i called lynn, she was still at home. i heard this very soft and reluctant voice. i knew she didnt want to go already...and yea, she said she dont feel like going out already. as usual, being me, i got super damn it ultra pissed. i hung up the phone. she messaged me telling me sorry, i didnt reply. too angry to do that. *siGhz* i hate it when people said that they can make it but in the end, they bail u out. in the end, i met serena only. luckily she can make it if not i would have exploded. hmmm...we were just walking around aimlessly, dont even know where we wanted to go. then we walked on the streets...hmmm...this is the first time i walked on orchard road and it's so empty and deserted...well, then we continued walking and ate ice-cream. yum yum...i always like those ice-cream that they sell along the streets. haha they are always so tasty. felt much better after eating some chocolate ice-cream. ok, fast foward. took the train as serena as i was on my way to pasir ris. well, i was early and so, serena took the train all the way to pasir ris with me instead of getting down at bedok. heehee...i got company! haha then we got down at pasir ris, we walked over to the next train. she asked me to take the train with her to tampines then i get down while she continue her journey back to bedok. the main purpose of this was to waste time actually...haha it's super rubbish. but some how, she decided to get down with me at tampines and then take the train back to pasir ris and then go back to bedok back from there. *doinK* hahahaha that's so nonsensical...but well, we have nothing to do anyway, so just waste time. there we parted. embarked on my journey to my babysitter's house. her daughter's baby first month and my family was invited to eat buffet at their house. met a lot of my ex-neighbours when all of us were still staying in bedok. argh....that's when my ultimate nightmare started. all the aunties there cant recognise me. they said i was my sis...(-.-") nvm...then they said omg, i look like my mum. wow~ i do wonder why she's my mum...duh-h of course i look like my mum if not who will i look like? them? *ka-bIsH* sigh...and yada yada yada...there they go... you have grown taller! you are in jc! have boyfriend or not? i have no comments. i felt like some superstar and all of them being the interviewer, questioning me one by one. haha didnt really talk to them, went to get some food and stayed at the corridor talking with my sis. the mee siam was superb. ate two bowls of it. haha contented after eating food. went home feeling tired and now, updating my blog. yupz. that's all.

yeah! finally, the block test is over! haha feel so happy now that a heavy load is off my shoulders. yupz. went out yesterday to celebrate the end of block test and at the same time, celebrate kah woon's belated birthday. well, we went to pasta mania to eat and bought this super ultra nice chocolate cake to eat. haha we created a scene by singing the birthday song so loudly. embarrassing but yet cool in a way. well, kah woon, being the only 18 yrs old in our gang, went to buy Hooch and Vodka and treat us. we ended smuggling it into the cinema because apparently, we forgot that we are actually watching a movie. we watched the eye2. not as scary as the first one...haha but i still covered my face throughout the whole show. ha...the cleverness of me. should ot have wasted my money cos i covered my face most of the time and i dont really know what's going on during the show. will not really recommend the show cos it's not that interesting. not a lot of scary scenes but tonnes of conversations that's all. guess i will rate it 2 out of 5 stars stars. heez...started the day well but ended the day bad. got scolded by my mum at night. sigh...she throws her temper for no reason and i have to be the one with super ultra rotten luck to be scolded by her. *bish* #@%?!* man....go fill in the blanks with whatever that you want. dont wanna fill my blog with my "beautiful and colourful language" that will shock people....
that was what happened yesterday. haha now for today. as usual, i'm in the library furiously typing away. haha computer still down. argh...i have to wait for him to reformat my computer this saturday. reformat!!! that's the last thing that i will i want to listen in my whole life...*sniFf sNifF* there goes my 400 songs in the computer and all the photos that my friends send me. man...this sucks to the core. feel so bored without the computer at home...cant chat with my friends online, cant listen to songs, cant do this cant do that. sianz 1/2. still remember that day when serena was checking emails for me, people in my msn were talking to her. we talked on the phone and i tell her what to type to reply to my friends. so funny... haha well well, i better stop here liao..heehee....all my friends are saying that i m typing some online compo. *sheesH* yeap...will update again when i get to use the school computer (that will be tomorrow ba). laLa~~
