Enviously Green

Im finding myself more and more fond of the colour GREEN day after day.

Courtesy of Wikipedia,

here are some facts about GREEN

-Green is commonly referred to as the "sexy color" by fashion magazines(oOo)

-In the Middle Ages, green represented evil or demonic beings (including dragons) and sometimes love. Due to its connection to springtime and nature, green is also traditionally connected to hope and renewal (mostly in countries traditionally experiencing long winters).

-In ancient China, green was the symbol of East and Wood, one of the main five colors

-The emotion of envy is traditionally associated with the color green.

-"Being Green" can either mean someone who is new or someone who is overwhelmed and prone to desertion.

-Aliens (of the extraterrestrial variety) are sometimes referred to as "little green men".

-Green is one of the Christmas colors, usually with red and sometimes also with white.

-The color green is often used as a symbol of sickness. Cartoons often show a character as being sick with a green face

-Marijuana is often referred to as "Green" when trying to be disguised in discussion. Also often referred to as "Green Paint."

-In high schools in the United States during the 1960s, it was widely believed that if someone wore green on Thursdays, it meant that they were gay. [2]

-An inexperienced person is sometimes known as green, probably by analogy to unripe (i.e. unready, immature) fruit. The word greenhorn also refers to an inexperienced person


GREEN it up!

p/s: Hey Amanda, thanks a bunch for that Mini Ritz biscuits. Haha.

Realising But Not Knowing

Im a mixed of emotions lately.

24 hours Aint Much

Im lacking O2!

Schedule has been really tight like a Victorian woman wrapped in a corset.Ouch!

Take for example Wednesday. Friday the 13th isnt the bad omen anymore.Its Wednesday the 17th. Just remembering the day gives me goosebumps.

Sorry, im not your regular i can handle a lot of stress dude.Waking up at 6am and worked the gray matter until 1.40pm aint easy. Right after that was brainstorming in Interact meeting. After meeting was struggling my way through Add Maths and finally Mod Maths tuition till 10pm. Ahah, thats not all, no sleep after working the poor brain for 12 hours+.....there are 14 pages of History to digest. Great, easy comes easy goes. Forget bout that.

I havent been talking to myself much lately.Probably because i dont let my mind wander aimlessly since school,tuitions, co-curricular activities are spinning the needle of the clock real fast. But i found a solution when im feeling down and pissy, just look at Amanda and gone is your stress. Laughter is the best medicine, there's no deny. Seeing Amanda laugh almost everyday induces some therapeutic and relaxing effect knowing that things are still cool.

So, I Sayang Amanda!

As so Violet claims, the person whom we label bad isnt really bad. I dont think anyone is really bad in our generation. I think the more suitable term for it would be insecurity and it all comes down to which angle we are viewing the person from. First impressions forms the other picture of the person and if we dont proceed to getting to know the person, that'll be the image you're gonna keepsake. We go to conclusions that the person isnt really bad,as a matter of fact more pity-able once things advance.But the person is pity-able in the very beginning but thats what we dont see because the point of view isnt from a friend's point of view.

*yawns*, sleep isnt what i cherished during the dreadfully boring holidays but now


Im on my knees and plead for more of it.


p/s: spread your love by supporting the upcoming Interact Valentine's Sales, its a whole lot of work.
pp/s: i dont want to realise things that dont need to be realised.

Graditude

I aging day after day and after Friday,12th Jan(to those who forgot =]), i was another year older. Sweet sixteen? Nah, whats so sweet bout 16 anyway? I can make 17,18,21 and years to come sweeter.

It was like every other ordinary day that i woke up groggily from bed with messily ruffled hair(i like). Somehow on that particular day, I felt more alive than usual. I know there are surprises ahead in school*smiles sinisterly*

Oh and before i forgot, thanks to Soo Ern and Violet for their "punctual" wish at 12am. So I went to school and people wished me, its weird to be in the centre of attention since i dont usually get them and dont really want to.Im a low profile guy, keep things simple.

The recess bell rang and still no surprises, Darn it!Haha, just kidding. The canteen was filled with people as usual and friends came one after another with weird wishes. "Can I hug you?"............Uh,okay =). The only teacher that wished me was Pn Monica,personally my favourite teacher and friend.

Went back to class after recess and then came Violet hoping merrily, seemed ecstasised and even more ecstasised than I am. She passed a plastic bag of 1 ringgit notes and an envelope.
I was suppose to count the exact amount before opening the envelope.RM47 if i counted right.
47 people parted with lunch for me?Aww,thats sweet.Zhao Wen asked if i was touched and tear jerked, sorry to say, no. It takes much more than that. =)

Reasons, Unreasonably Unreasonable

Well, i thought 2007 was off to a good start. First week of school was dreadful, some "organism" living in it have been satisfying his sadistic addiction towards partly innocent people.

Approximately 2 months of being nice was too much for that "organism". He's not gonna get a gift from santa any time soon. Yes, he's not nice but no he's not naughty. He is unreasonably evil!

Some people just wanna breathe calmly in school undisturbed by howls of organisms merely thinking the dictator way. Hypocrytes, you got that all wrong if you said we've a chance to correct things nicely. Some "organisms" would invent a thousand and one reasons UNREASONABLY just to get back at you.

No, im not being defensive. You might think of me as the typical high school lad that defends himself although he knows very well what he did. But, boldly i'd say, Im not. I remain firm with what i am and what i am is nothing wrong. I want to be mad at the "organisms" but its too energy consuming.

Don't make learning from mistakes an obligation. You can take an M16 rifle or whatsoever and tutor that individual with it but its not learning, its making them learn. Sounds similar but vastly different. There's no deny that you've to be strict to enforce things but that doesnt mean you cannot show some love and sincerity at the same time. Words can be a little softer for the weak human ear and heart.When people accept, they learn. You stand for what you believe in so do I. School was suppose to be safe from predators, what if the predator was inside. Sometimes i feel like im playing a game of hide and seek whereas im the mouse and the "organism" is a cat. No, i dont go to school to play kiddy games with "organisms", i just wanna enjoy my my teenage life and fill my life's jigsaw puzzle. The jigsaw was suppose to be a beautiful picture, but the presence of "organisms" are like haze to a wide green meadow with tulips. Piece by piece is tarnished.

I know I have nothing in my power to change anything for now. But Im a firm believer in Karma and one fine fine day, the "organism" is going to pay a hefty price. The "organism" does things so personal and i dare say i know it when things get personal. What goes around comes around. What goes up, must come down. You're at the peak now but life is a wheel, no one remains at the top forever, there are circles ups and downs. You think you're superior, there's always something greater than you. And that something greater must have been fair to the people by not blessing you with offsprings. Be nice, it'll come back to you one day. Spread happiness, you'll be the happier person yourself. You might like the way your life runs now but it'll come across a turning point one day. For the last time, i honestly said I tried not being mad at the "organism" for doing his job, but never cross the yellow line. Your patience has its limits so does mine. Usually my yellow line is far enough to avoid being crossed, but the "organism" chose the perfect mode of transport to cross it, a bullet train,quick and easy, and it came crashing through my life.
Great respect is for those who deserves it, and at the moment, you're not getting any. Changing the way things are is difficult but not impossible. It's because you never intended to change anything. Just because your life might be miserable in the past, it doesnt mean mine has to go through what you've been through. You never earned the right to take other peoples' rights. My happiness is hard earned and i deserve it because i dont pick on people. I just want to breathe!

Its All About Togetherness

Phew, back from Port Dickson after spending 3 magnificent days there. Its a remedy to treat my boredom during the holidays.

Lets see, we were late on the first day so nothing fancy to add. But the food grandma cooked up were orgasmic. We had "nasi kunyit with curry" and "popiah". Yumm!

Day 2 was a lil more eventful. Woke up at 9.30am which was miraculous considering the fact that i became a nocturnal creature during the holidays and only rise at noon. =P Had breakfast, then head off to the pool for a quick swim. Boy, the water was freezing.....Had a round on the water slide, frock around a lil and decided how boring it was. Went to the games room after that, the had a karaoke booth, sang my heart out with a "melodious" voice. =)
The best thing was going to Extreme Park and enjoyed 8 laps on the go-kart. Bam! Go-kart rocks. When night fell, we wandered around the resort waiting for New Year's countdown.....got esctasized. Boom!

Im dreadfully sorry for the lousy blogging nowadays, its not that im losing the touch, i've seen interesting things when i step out but unfortunately i dont have a digital cam with me now.Dont bother asking what happened to it, too tragic....


"Modern Techs have come up with scar removers, what about those for the soul?"-Anon

Agree-able. But you see, humans are so capable of doing things...we flew to the moon, peaked the highest spot on Earth, built enormous skyscrapers that literally scratched the skies and the list goes on. About healing that wound in the soul, its all personal, you can do it if you want to.

Having to go through the stay-at-home-everyday holidays, it really opened my eyes to how people act and react. My family for ex, i was seeing them everyday, but im not looking close enough. Use your 5 senses intelligently and gradually you'll discover how life works. New Year's Eve was great. Sometimes i do hate going through the thick and thin yearning for something so mirage, and just ending up with disappointment when i've the people who stood where they are right now, arms wide open.

Anyway,

New Year Resolutions
1) Blissfully studying in upper secondary without too much stress and without too many F's =/
2)Learn about acceptance in every character.

and most importantly,

3)Appreciating.

My resolutions are not long, i dont want it to be! Appreciating has been on the list for a few years, there are improvements but its not achieved. No. 2 and No.3 are tough ones.


Its already 2007 and im no gypsy nor seer. Time passes at the speed of light these days and although i yearn to know what life's got planned, i hope things will turn out fine,nothing drastic. In a few years, ill be leaving secondary and who knows what i'll turn into. One of the things i need to appreciate much, is "everyday".
