TGIF

So happy!! TGIF and I am already immersing myself into the long awaited weekend since this morning!! Not to mention, I just cleared my polymer quiz after mugging for 2 days, or was it 3?? And yes, I have not updated my blog the entire month which had been the same interface; even I don’t bother to visit my blog anymore. But an email from flobber chatterbox that threatened to delete my account had prompted me to start blogging again. So yes, I had lost all my composures and wouldn’t it be nice to start all over again??

Life had been hectic this semester with lessons packed back to back for a week earlier last month. Actually, I am starting to get used to my kind of lifestyle, that is, 5 and a half days dedicated to school work and the rest of my time reserved for friends and family. Everything went well as planned thus far, and I am feeling the adrenaline rush each time Friday arrives!! =)

To be very honest, I am glad I chose this path and enjoying my ride. Not that I am ignorant of the global economic slowdown, the F1, the China food scare (not again!!) or news of transport charging up by 4cents while electric bills to rocket 22%. I am aware of all that’s happening… but I am still optimistic.

Just my two cents worth. What happens tomorrow is affected by what we had done today. We reap what we sow, fair and square. The Americans knew their past actions might lead to catastrophic disaster, so they deserve a lesson learnt. The Chinese choose to taint the milk with melamine, so the world banned their products. No fault in that, and I mean, serve them right!! But I missed the white rabbit sweet. =(

Speaking about China milk, a friend sent a rather racist but hilarious sms a week ago. In the message, directed to mostly guys, read – If your girlfriend or wife is from china, do not drink her milk. Subjected to approval by AVA. I almost died laughing!! I pity the farmers who had to pour away the milk, because it was not their fault but had to share the losses and ruined reputation with the few black sheep. In short, don’t blame the cows, blame the sheeps. It was also a pity to pour away tons of fresh milk when it might have saved millions of starving children if that had been sent to poorer countries around the world. Yeah, I think I have a heart of gold.

And I really do!! Just 2 weeks ago, also on a Friday, I was approached by a friend to do volunteering work at a home. It was a humble place, opposite SRJC, that housed teenage girls that had experienced domestic violence, been sexually abused or had just been released from girls’ home. We did gardening with minimal tools, like scissors to cut grass…-_- but it was the interaction that amused me. Some girls had tattoos and it seemed to me the F word was screaming from their face each time they were irritated. But they had very good emotional control and never did I hear a single indecent word throughout my 4 hours of interaction with them. With that, I salute them and they truly deserve a second chance. Every good deal comes with a price… My arms were sun burnt and are no longer as evenly tanned as before.

As for F1, I caught a glimpse of the pre-race from the National Library and it was truly amazing!! “Superb” if I were to describe in one word. If not for the family portrait taking on Sunday, I will be down at the Grand prix to witness how Massa was shoved back to 18th position in his Ferrari, or how many others had their cars going up in flame after ramping into the wall. Hahaha!!! Well, I might still have chances in the future.

Oh yes, in 2 weeks time, I’ll turn 23. *Ahem* How time flies. It is a mixed feeling, and I already know I will be celebrating with my tuition kid on my big day. But I will also be having a post Bday celebration with my secondary school friends and jl who deliberately called to book a slot in my schedule. Feel kind of lucky to have friends standing by me. I’m so blessed!!
