1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.
During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read
the last one:
"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name?
I handed in my paper, leaving the last question
blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if
the last question would count toward our quiz grade.
"Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do
is smile and say "hello."
I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her
name was Dorothy.
2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain
One night, at11:30 p.m., an older African American
woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had
broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man
took her to safety, helped her get assistance, and
put her into a taxicab.
She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A
special note was attached..
It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway
the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away... God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others."
Sincerely,
Mrs. Nat King Cole.
3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those who serve.
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less,
a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and
sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in
front of him.
"How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked.
"Fifty cents," replied the waitress.
The little boy pulled is hand out of his pocket and
studied the coins in it.
"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired.
By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient.
"Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied.
The little boy again counted his coins.
"I'll have the plain ice cream," he said.
The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies..
You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.
4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our Path.
In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had
been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand!
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.
5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts...
Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a
hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had
developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her
little brother, and asked the little boy if he would
be willing to give his blood to his sister.
I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will
save her." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in
bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his
face grew pale and his smile faded.
He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away".
Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his
sister all of his blood in order to save her.
2006-04-02; 6:26 p.m.; 109TH entry:
times abt band in tkgs is diff. band's not just abt playing. it throws u to the real world of politics. how ppl treat others in order to get what they want from others. that's scary. band in tkgs had taught tingtingwan how to see ppl, how to judge ppl and how to treat different type of ppl. of cuz, after band, tingtngwan spent time with SBA-ians on the bus, bitching and complaining abt ppl. tingtingwan used to go out with SBA-ians to concerts and listen to nice music.(and of cuz, check out guys.)
tingtingwan recalls how band has been such a big part of her sec sch life. it was hard to let go in sec sch. but somehow, once out of tkgssb, tingtingwan came to realise that she had let it go. all the banding passion, banding love and banding enjoyment's no longer there. all the passion for band she learnt from her snrs is no longer there. seeing how the jnrs not wanting to play for july concert reali aches her heart. tingtingwan remembered how eager was she to play for concerts under the name of tkgssb.
read suat's and baya's blog. sigh. i think i really missed my sba frens like donnoe what. we last met up like donnoe how long ago? sigh. guys, i realli missed u guys like the heavens going to drop. bet i'll cry the moment i see u guys if this carries on. sigh. why is life so? hmmm. contradicting. what keeps me on is the thots of the happy moments i spent with my darls and sba: the times mugging together' talking abt the way lives should be; bitching/gossiping away after band;etc.
now, tho 5/11 of sba is in tjcsb again. but the atmosphere isn't as strong. why? cuz of the ppl ard us i supposed. sigh. ppl are so sensitive and cannot take things lightly. sorry that we formed majority. everything's our fault. sigh.
2006-04-01; 18:18; 108th entry: sigh.
what'ssaidcannotbeunsaid.what'sdonecannotbeundone.whatihatedcannotbeforgiven.what'sbrokencannotbemended.
that's what i felt. sigh.
to pc:
miss u ppl like mad. when are we meeting again? i missed the days we spent hours and hours playing daidee or chat/bitch abt everything under the sun. and rmb the hours we spent at macs at pp on the day before we collect our results? and also like the sec3 times when we cheong our studies at mp lib? we tore the whole lib down right? haha.
to sba:
my frens, where are u ppl? i missed the band days we go home together, spending time on the bus, talking abt everything that happened that veri day. i also missed the times we prepared for concerts and other fun moments like :
-being each other's mirror image during combines(baya);
-being entertaining by dancing beautifully(adillia&amirah);
-being specially cutely-blurr(fary);
-being the one going to/from band with me(vera);
-being especially funny at times(janicia);
-being the one always listening to me and my problems(suat);
-being the one that hated bunster forever and ever(lizzy);
-being the one that i always bullied(mai);
-being the one who is always missing in action(caitlin).
to my frens:
sorry if i've caused any troubles for u guys, (esp for lizzy).
to other ppl:
sorry if my grp of frens from tkgs and i have caused any unhappiness for u guys.
to myself:
i think i've made a wrong move last year. and i din realise it. and i made another big mistake this year. if only i din make the second wrong decision, i wouldn't be feeling like this now. sigh.

2006-03-28; 21:41; 106th entry: source of happiness.
wanting's feeling abit weird nowadays. think i need the source of happiness everyday. ah. im addicted to the source of; happiness. i need happiness!! argh.

oh.im rather stressed for pw. what to do for pi!?!?! and it must be printed out!? that's like argh. my printer's dead. argh. think i'll just print it out last min. argh.
mood swings 2006-03-26; 21:05; 105th entry: 25/03/2006
im pretty happy with my new and current class. they are bunch of happy ppl that are veri nice. =)
anyway, was rather busy for the past week. and ya, tragdey have to happen to me. im in the same pw grp as the 75cents guy. sigh. tragdey that is. sigh.
fri was a happy day. i met up with my darls. tho not all was there, but we still have fun. ha. think we all enjoyed the time we met up and ya. our meetings have been veri fruitful ever since we parted from tkgs. hmm.
like an example: the highly nonsensical island analogy that we came up with this year. ha.
current situation:
wanting is still at the main isalnd, with han, nel and von who just came back.
heard that grace's floating;
maine's swimming off to MA***s' island;
and confirmed info:
drea's on the KENneth's island.
sat was the 2006 tkgpB conference. ya. basically, it might have been fun if more snrs turned up but no, less than half the number of snrs who were supposed to come turned up. like 7/24? sigh. so saddening. the games they had was more of a brainy game, which u uses more of ur brain than any other things. and what did the snr team do? we were eating cakes and puffs, sponsored by the polar cakes , which was meant for 23 ppl. ya, 7 prefects finished that lot of puffs and cakes. ya, that was during the stimulating game, which i think was pretty fun, if only we really noe how to play that game. ya.
actually, i don think there were enough cakes and puffs for 23 prefects. but ya, it was supposed to be for 23 prefects. ha.
on a more serious note, i think the conference 2004 was one with better quality and fun. we have more physical and brain games to bond everyone rather than only one of each type. ya. and we got more stuffs. we had like the play to prepare for and the debate. ya. this time round they have only the debate, which the snrs din want to participate due to tiredness.
one more disheartening thing was that the jnrs din noe how to cheer?! oh man. the pops and the younger ones din join us for the tk cheer?! i felt so upset after i saw their reactions when we were cheering. sigh. i seriously think that the tk spirits have ended with my batch's departure from tkgs. sigh.
oh. and the snrs took alot of photos on that day. some with jane and jia yun. (oh, jane's pretty.) they wore balck too, same as us. so coecidentail. ha. anyway, as usual, the photos we took was like of lame poses and stuff. it is just so us. ha.
went over to tkss with burh too. during luch break. wanted to see their practise on their field. but no, they had to be practising in the hallwhen i went over. darn. wanted to see their formation and hear their playing. oh. and i saw francis there too. he was pretty shocked to see me in his sch. ha.
anyway, sat was a pretty much eventful day. (g?) oh. and i studied today. hmm. think was much of finishing my tutorials. but still, i did something today. ha.
2006-03-19; 5:25 p.m.; 103rd entry: irritated
whee~! yesterdae was cheryl's 17th birthdae. ahswell, it's also our third gay day! (just for ur info: Gay Day is the every 18th of the month. all should turn gay on that day.) anyway, went out to celebrate with her. me, nicholas, eugene and dinah. yup. nicholas did all sorts of gay stuffs. not veri on on going to airport's swensons with him anymore. ha. i supposed we did have fun yesterdae. ya.
sch's officially starting tmr. that means no more slacking, no more often going outs and shit. darn. well, at least lesser going outs will make me save for the thai trip in june. whee~! then i can go on shopping spree in thai. talking abt the thai trip, i just realised my passport has expired. well, need to make a trip down somewhere to make it. remind me ppl. ha.
what else can i say abt my life? hmm, looking forward to next sat. prefects' conference. the last time i had it was fun! azul.. hope it turn out nice this time round. think maybe after that the sec4s'05 will go out??? hmm. going out?!?! didnt i just mention that i wont go out so often? hmm.. well.. ha. whatever.
anything happening this coming week? oh. make up lectures. darn. some on mondays whereas one on tues? i think so. and one bio prac on fri! heehee make up lectures all the way till may. boring. i got this feeling my day will end rather late everyday, looking at the combi i take?
tri scii shall try to love this combi and not think how i regretted chooisng this combi.
oh darn. my cousins are like asking me to do their projects. last minute. im irritated. argh.

2006-03-17; 2:30 p.m.; 102nd entry: updating.
wanting's back from band camp. hmmm. it was fun i supposed. it supposed to be fun right?
anyway, spent an hour talking to suat in the first night. it has definitely been a long time since the trwo of us sat down and chat abt everything under the sun. this was since like.. last year before june? ha. well, we din reali chat this year partly because we were in classes with totally different combi plus we were in different cca. so ya, since now she joined band, think we'll have more chance to have a talk in the future. right?
on the second night. chat with adillia. well, that was also another fruitful talk. at least i was able to let go of certain stuffs that i've been keeping to myself for the past three months. ya.

2006-03-12; 5:26 p.m.; 101st entry: ixodus
wanting's back.
was reading my previous entry. hmm. i've changed my mind abt my combi. taking bio. well, so now, im basically taking tri sci and maths at h2 level plus econs at h1 level. yesh, kill me for that. knew that alot ppl wan to kill me for changing combi as this resulted in changing of class. but changing of class is not as bad as changing house. sigh. i'll miss delta. im leaving 12/06. and im going 0106. sigh. after the preparation for O2 and O2 itself, i've bond with the deltans ogls and ogms. and now, i've to part with them. sigh. i was rather sad on thurs and fri if anyone notices taht. cuz i received news that my appeal got through and im going 0106, an alpha class. sigh.
anyway, don talk abt the sad stuffs. the good news is, under the lead of the one and onli female clan leader of 02/2006, ixodus won!!! whee~! tho i wasn't there when they announced the winning clan(i was slacking down at the canteen), i was happy. but i know i'll be even more happy if i was there at the hall. anyway, i was rather shocked that ixodus won. cuz we din win anything on fri, the orientation night. my grp of ogls and i were rather scared that history of O1 will repeat itself again. phew, it din.
in fact, i liked that feeling of winning. like who doesnt right? ha. ixodus had been leading since the veri first day of O2. we were the first all along. our clan was the smallest and the most unenthu one. to win, we definitely came a longer way than the others. ogls of ixodus did a great job. and i loved my one and onli MARYAM!! u did a great job. whee`!
din enjoy O'nite as much as i did for first orientation. my body was killing me. ah. couldn't even breathe properly during cheers. i could even end up not breathing for a periond of 10 seconds unknowingly. well, something is getting wrong in my body. my health din allow me to enjoy the rock bands. so was slacking ard with maine who crashed tj that day. was walking ard with her in sch. then slacked at the back of the hall where it's less crowded. hmmm...
IXODUS BAIK!

tingtingwan doesn't like the orientation two. ah. don like. they're so unenthu. so what u're the 1st intake? so what u're the VJ REJECTS?please la. admit that u're THE REJECTS. argh.
oh. and after much consideration, i've decided to stick to my current combi, that is pcme. ya. decided to drop bio, even if i may need to use it in the future. like if i go into marine life engineering i think i may need it. ya. i think i can mug bio stuff before the course starts right? hmmm. pray. i'll start mugging when term 2 starts. A level's coming. ah. ha.
this is the 100th entry. i may close this blog soon. hmmm... well. i see how eh? chatting to pc online is like watching an animation show
