Random thoughts #3

Where do you run to when you’re alone, weak, tired, fragile, and/or in pain? What’s that little secret garden that you have?
Do you ever run to yourself (or rather, run away) ? Or do you run to someone of higher power?
Or you just stop running?

I’m shocked yesterday that one of my friends is in coma due to an apparently what is being reported as a virus infrection. I receive a lot of messages regarding this, asking for a kind donation.
I felt sorry for her; and something prompted me to help her in contributing money to cover her parents’ flight ticket from Malaysia to UK. But at the same time, the other side of me was telling me to just not do anything because "there will always be a lot of people to help her; the money needed will already be enough very soon, even if I don’t contribute". I was thus in a dilemma whether I should play a role in this matter. It’s not like I’m very close to her; but at the of the end the day,I somehow managed to override what my brain was telling me to do. I choose to play my part.
I think it’s because of the fact that I feel that family is very important when it comes to this kind of matter. I think that I’m reminded of my guilt for not attending my grandfather’s funeral (it’s was exam period and I had some finacial problem) that made me choose to play a part. I couldn’t bear to see another family not being able to be there next to their loved ones before it’s too late.
I pray that my friend would recover soon.

I love charity shops!!!! They have a lot of good and extremely cheap items!
Put it this way: 5th book of Harry Potter (hardcover) + 4th book (paperback) = 2.50 pounds only!!!!!

Studies have been ok ok. Quite disappointed with the previous exam. I got only 65%. The rest of my close friends almost all got more than 80%. One of them was even placed in the top 5% of the class(argh!!!!!). Oh well, I’m over my ‘mourning’ period now. Dwell to long with that I will kill my next exam, which is even harder! BRAIN AND BEHAVIOUR..super complex, and at times can be really abstract.
I’m working better now. Putting in more commitment and effort into this subject. But I think it’s not enough. At the same,I am going through the cycles of emotions which sometimes can be very tiring to fight or to even ignore. I must be strong. And I’m happy despite the nature of this subject, b&b has captivated my interest. Really!

I was talking about this with Zul last night during dinner and speaking of people being greedy will always lose out. Orang tamak selalu rugi. Then Zul was talking about his idea of how people who are working will somehow have sense of greed embeded inherently, which is quite true, I say. If we don’t have somekind of greed,no matter how small, we won’t be successful. We do have to be selfish at times to get what we want. Sedikit-sedikit lama-lama jadi bukit. This one must be with a bit of greed.
And I came up with this new extension the cliche. "Orang tamak selalu rugi. Tapi bila dia tidak rugi, dia untung BESAR"…hm, should give this line to Malaysian Finance company to use in their ads. Then I can reap the royalty from the slogan…hehehehehehehe. Greedy!

I am a hybrid of my parents - I can be as composed and cool as my dad. I can be as meticulous and analytical as my mum; and I think also think when I’m angry and my emotions have swollen enough, l will explode and blow things out of proportion; and I think my mouth can be as lasery and keep humping on the thing, no matter trivial that is as much as possible. Aaron Wilson exploding, words he says becoming really really really really really hurtful?!?!?!? Yes, it’s possible. It’s rare, but it comes, it comes! And it’s really an ugly side of me. So, please, I don’t want to be a monster (which now reminds me of Hulk. LOL)
Why am I saying this? Well, I don’t think I can tell people my personality directly. Even if they themselves will take the initiative, that I think will take ages; so I might as well bare my soul like this.
