Sup!The week has been filled with many events and many tasks for me to do. So i wont go into further details of it. Typing has made me feel drained out! Lol. But here i am, typing some things that i've read through and find it meaningful. Check it out..
It's by Rev Tim Tan. Seldom do i pay attention to the fish when feeding them but that one morning the behaviour of the fish caught my eyes. Even though there was enough food to go round, the fish literally fought for every bit of the food. Even the smallest of the lot was seen snatching from the bigger ones and keeping it for itself. Not convinced I watched them the following morning. Again the same behaviour! It dawned on me that there is something common in the behaviour of fish, not to mention the rest of the animal kingdom that we see in human beings. The fish had a selfish streak in them that probably arose form the need to survive. As someone once coined this phrase, " It's a dog eats dog world", the fish in my fish tank displayed the very same drive to survive as found in most of us. The desire to survive made the fish slefish. The same desire to excel and succeed in life has turned many a kind soul into selfish human beings.
Both being selfless and being selfish are poles apart! The two cannot be standing side by side. Bothe words are adjectives that will never attract but repel, each other. Being slefless literally helps one to see the interests of others before self. Obviously, being selfish would mean that one sees his or her interests above those others. So how can they be standing side by side? However, there is no one who can deny the reality of us being selfish at most times rather than selfless. That is something each of us has to deal with in our daily lives. But the call is for us to be selfless rather than selfish.
Yeap, thats it. I think this very much shows what the guys in my class are showing. They are really very absurd and i cant believe some of them are SIXTEEN already. Gosh, time flies, and i can see, people really change. They take things for granted. They are like babies, waiting for their parents or anybody who is taking care of them to feed them food right up to their small little mouth. Waiting to be served by them. Hello, teachers are not gonna do that for you in your O levels. Neither do your parents or friends. It all depends on one self. Wake up man. There's still time if you're willing to change your mindsets, but it is difficult if you dont. Up to you man, it's enough of all these. Having to hear those noisy shoutings, laughters, detestable critisms and irritating cat and dog calls. Enough man. Im glad that i was taught this word Patience. Because it will be in my dictionary from now on. Im gonna have patience to control all those anger and at the same time, letting it out easily.
Was at my cousin's place yesterday. Played with my cousins the latest game, Nintendo Wii. SUPER FUN~ I was like having lots of fun, & i think i was almost addicted to it. There was news saying that people lost weight while playing that! Cool~ There was games on cooking, sports, skateboarding. I LOVE IT (= I played tennis and bowling. You have this controller that has a censor on it. Then you physically have to swing your hand when playing tennis or bowling. It's all action-based. Meaning you gotta follow their instructions to move and play. Its not the boring type of sitting in front of the tv and holding on to your game controllers and play. This is physically moving! xD Super cool game. I was obsessed with the Tony Hawk's skateboarding. I chose the character Jynx. & i owned them all! Hehe. It was a nice gathering with my cousins too. It's been a long time since i visited their house and met them. Haha.
My cousin was like, "I miss you leh, so long never come here! (smacks back) " Ouch man! haha. (= But i was a little upset about something. Hmmm, i feel so far from my godsister. )= I didnt talk to her much. She's like studying and doing her work. Time for us to sit down and have girls talk like last time was really little. Aww, i miss them all! Maybe its the age difference? I dont know. But i care about all these small matters because they matter to me. Family bonding is IMPORTANT. They really are. & i need them. That feeling inside me was really making me uncomfortable. Plus, it's been a long time since i went there. It was such a rare ocassion but we chose to do our own stuff. Or maybe she chose it, or maybe i wasnt having the initiative. I dont know. I miss her ): Lol, im no lesbian ok! Haha. Just missing the bond we have. Hope it will be back soon! ^^ BTW, QIANN, HAPPY 16TH BELATED BIRTHDAY! (= i can only post it today because i wasnt free on other days! Sorry! ^^
So thats one boring post of mine. See ya all later. My blog seems dead, no one's tagging. How sad. )= Take care all!
