Look what have you done?

Hmmm....
Today is rather a perculiar day at school...
Well...It was time for our MUET class and we were all required in a circle...
And all of us need to start a discussion...
SO
After much debate...Wai Jin(the dictatorous monitor of U6Sc2) stood up to and gave an interesting topic...
"Sex before Marriage"
So there goes....
A topic which would set off sparks and debates....
As Boon Ming slowly warmed the topic up.....
It soon turns into a complete ding-dong...
With me and Pei Yi tirelessly firing our ideas about the pros and cons of sex before marriage the class sat quitely, trying to digest all that has been said.
Pei Yi was all out to brain wash the world that its okay to have sex before marriage while I keep her points in check, making sure that my opinion is an absolute contrast to her belief...
It was then when the most stupid thing happened...
Wai Jin stood up and try to speak her mind....and since she knew she was no match with me....
She tried to shut me off by shouting across the class, her finger's pointing at me commanding me to give a chance and let others share....
What strikes me is her ignorance and her disrespect towards her classmates and not to mention teacher and especially me...
I just couldn't understand what have I done to deserve such response...
There are others who said a lot...
But she has to do it to me....
And when others are sharing their point of view....
She would be busy chattering away...
I am always her target....
But anyway....
I decided to take the other way out.....
Instead of fighting on, I decided to stay out cos to continue debating with such people is a total waste of my time....
Hey....I shouldn't be giving her too much of my precious attention too right( So "Perasan"....)
But I actually thank all my classmates who stood by my side, even my teacher present who thinks that she has gone over the line...
And that she is way too much....
At least there are many sensible people other than her....
And I also think that I
Need to learn to be more graceful and to accept what others say for it is in fact their choice and it is not up to me to judge or control.
I need not fight or debate with others like a "mak chik" from the market....
I have to learn to restrain myself and to appreciatte the people who truly care for me....
Even though I am still "geraming"....
I think I need to let go and to think positively of others...
Maybe I am too talkactive till I didn't let others a chance to talk and she was just trying to shut me up...
But If I were in her shoes...
I would NOT have made a fool out of myself like this!!!

Teenage Wasteland...

Hmmm...
I still keep wondering...
At times I do ask this question...
" Who are truly your friends?"
Surely not one of those backstabbers but I believe each
one of us needs a shoulder to depend on....
But I do ask too the question...
How many friends ARE dependable?
How many of them are able to spend nights on the telephone when you are down and out?
How many will not be talking behind your back?
OR
How many will put on a mask and just secretly they poison the minds of others with their venomous tongue?
You see...being in a class in school teaches you these valuable lessons...
People are not who they seem to be...
A sweet girl can actually be the worst threat
yet
A guy whom you least expect to talk may be a sensitive soul to cling on to.
You see I have treated everyone with my heart ( and I am not lying)
but yet
Some or rather many choose to misunderstand me and judge me on certain things that
I do or say.
They think that they are wise enough to judge you and that the constantly magnify the tiny problems and misconducts of your life
but fail to examine the worst of themselves.
They would secretly gossip you behind your back
and pursue others to do the same...
Soon...You find part of your so-called "friends"
are sneering at you, talking at a different tone, looking at you with a certain point of view...
Friends...
These are the symptoms of betrayal to friendship...
You see, I receive such "looks" from my peers all the time
in which I suppose what I have mentioned above has come to past.
You might treat someone nicely but you might not know what they are trying to say about you when you are not around...
The ones you look highly upon and respect most might be those who would prowl on your weary soul....
But
even so...
These are valuable lessons to learn in life...
Don't give yourself to the without boundaries for it will eat you up like a lion...
Reserve yourself and protect yourself from such harmful danger....
Its OK to be hurt before...
Just pick yourself up once again...
But as a consolation...
Do keep one thing in mind
Even though these folks might treat you so,
Do remember, they might suffer the same fate for everyone is observing...
I am not a believer in KARMA.
BUT....
What goes around comes around....

A child in the continent of Africa who suffers through extreme poverty,Dies.
We had never actually appreciatted life but now, I truly see that people struggle to live in Africa and most of them are young, innocent children hardly old enough to know what is happening around them.
So right now, you might be asking the same question, "What can I do?"
Well for starters, Visit

Next get a white band. Put it on your wrist or just put it on your dog, Tie your dog with a white band. Make people notice it....Voice it out through the silence.

We are not here on earth to live for ourselves only but to help one another.....Do your part, As they say, We do not need your money, we need your voice. As you read this post, say a prayer that a change may come to the plight of poverty in Africa....
