i forgot about how the topic over dinner came to link with our attitudes towards learning and what we defined learning to be in the first place. and this post is going to be quite random and disjointed because of various stuff that happened.

but i realise that there's really so much to learn from everyone everywhere. as in if certain people only see learning as diffusion of information that will come out in the exam, then obviously he or she wouldn't see much point in really alot that they do. but i think that there's so much to learn everywhere, just by observing people around me. i could be standing in the mrt, just watching people around me, and just observe. pick up what i like about what certain people are doing, and how i could learn from that, and can definitely pick out the annoying things people do and try to avoid doing them. :)

like seriously, and i think that i really used to think too highly of teachers. i mean, they're really just like any other person on the street, i can learn as much from a school teacher as i could from the aunty who cleans the toilets (e.g. hokkien). i mean i find myself learning not to do all the bad things that i see teachers doing because it just disgusts me. i realised that i hate them so much because i painted such a beautiful picture of them, such that they never fail to let me down. i used to think that teachers should be these righteous people who have lived longer than us thus would be more mature and sensible than us, but like i said, they really aren't that much more wise than the dearest aunty cleaning the toilet, who never fails to make me smile! :)

and you know when sucky things happen to me, sometimes i really can't help but think about por por. although she died really quite long ago, i always still wonder what she would tell me if i share the problems i have today with her. but the thought of doing things to make her proud, is motivation enough to get through some of the times when i feel really quite lousy.

so today, i concluded that i don't care what i end up doing with my life, as long as the people around me smile and feel positive feelings more than cry and feel negative feelings. even if i end up a road sweeper, i will be a road sweeper with pride and dignity, and make sure that i live by my principles as a person. if i know that i can't afford to walk into prada, i won't walk in, but i know that no matter what, i have the responsibility of not letting down those around me, both physically or otherwise.

okay, for the more rubbishy things, ydsp congress at ballroom at raffles city convention centre was totally posh, and quite fun! :) cheryl chua looked totally lady-like, and you powderful girl, keep going, i'd be so proud of you for beating others to that academic award a few more times! i was totally stoning and attempting to understand vaguely what was going on.

and yesterday EVENING* was a pleasure with charmaine and patricia, my sister's friends. they are really amusing people, and i really need to thank them for helping my sis through some of the really tough times, when i failed to help as a sister.

yeah, you guys are funny people and make my sister laugh loads. :)

and i must've mentioned that i hate adult politics. it's just so damn gross and disgusting and i cannot believe i am a few years away from joining them. argh! somebody stop the clock! yeah right, okay, i need to go sleep. going to get my hair tamed tomorrow morning. GOODNIGHT!

*evening refers to after 6.30pm. :)

HAPPY REAL BIRTHDAY DA!

you remember you told me to not show that i'm your sister cause i might get into trouble with this certain person? MY ASS I WILL PRETEND NOT TO KNOW YOU! you're my sister for god's sake, so over my dead body will i pretend to not know you, even if i end up dead! :)
