Guess what?
Ok I'll tell you.You guys might think I'm so way behind time or something but....
I just realised that....
S.T.R.E.S.S.E.D.
Spelt backwards is....
D.E.S.S.E.R.T.S.
So now that I feel soooooo stressed out..I'm gonna go munch on something...Weeee!
You think you're superior to others?Think again.Sure we may be more of this or that but that doesn't make us perfect either.No one is.Therefore ,we are not superior to anyone, no matter what you may think.
So you think the world would be a better place if everyone was like you?Every single person?No it won't.Think about it.If everyone was exactly like you, because you think you are the best, then they are also bound to have the same weaknesses as you.Who can you tell your problems to if everyone is going through the same problem?
The next time you think that you are better than somebody else, dismiss such a thought.So you might be better at most things but it won't be everything, trust me.That's why God made each of us diffirent.Everyone has diffirent strenghts and weaknesses.The point is so that we can lean on each other in one way or another.To share our problems, hopes and dreams.So that there is always someone we can always count on in troubled times.God included of course.
It's a nice thought.=)
CF officially ended today.Awhhhh..........prepare for waterworks.No la.
It was a bittersweet ending.Bitter as it had to end and sweet because we gained so much through it all.
We'll definately miss all our seniors!Without them....welll, you can guess what CF would be like.All we can do now is wish you all the best of luck in your upcoming SPM exams and of course in life.Thanks a bunch guys!We'll never forget you!
Well.Things have been dull these last few day. Nothing much has been happening. Actually scrtach that.NOTHING has been happening.Other than the not-so occasional teasing from my friends that is.They just come up with new names everyday.I'm astounded.=P
Everyday the same old same old routine.Go to school.Come back.Do homework.TRY to study but fail miserably.Yadda yadda.....You get my picture. =(
I just wish I had more time to study.BUT.Yes there is always a but, the homework just keeps piling in.It doesn't help either when my laziness gets the better of me.I guess I COULD cut down on my nap time, but it's HARD.Really, really hard.*Sigh*...Someone save me.
On the other hand, I have been doing some unnecessary thinking.Yes, unnecessary by my standards.There are times when my mind is just jumbled up with thoughts that I can totally forget what I was supposed to be thinking about.Figures that I should be paying more attention to my upcoming end year exams rather than on unnecessary things.
Well, back to the unnecessary thinking part, I have noticed that people tend to compare you to another person who is smarter, more hardworking, more dependable etc. etc..In short, better than you in their opinion.But, do keep in mind that it is only in their opinion that they think that that certain someone is better than you. You can't take it to personally as you do not know what other people think about you just yet.
Yet despite all the faults people tend to find in you, they also tend to overlook your good points and strengths.Sad as it may seem.If you have an answer to this question, do enlighten me.
Yes.These are among the things I have been thinking about rather than focusing on my exams.
*Sigh*....don't mind me.I just feeling like sighing at the moment.Thinking about certain things are just too depressing to bear.
My homework pile is piling up for example.Pretty soon I won't be able to see over the top of it. I am, and always will be a procrastinator.*Sigh*
End year exams are coming soon.AND I still don't get my additional maths.AND physics.AND chemistry.AND a whole lot more.*Sigh*
I think I need to get a move on with my unending pile of homework.
Life is sad.*Longgggggg sigh*
Bear in mind that this post has nothing to do with people I am disappointed with.Seriously.On with the topic.....
I hate disappointing people.I really, really do.
It's nobodys fault.It's just that when I can't live up to the expectation of some people, I just have this really bad feeling in the pit of my stomach so to say.
For example, and I won't mention any names here, but teachers in particular seem to expect a lot from their students.Believe me, the pressure is there most of the time, if not all the time.I wonder at times if teachers realise that we don't only have to study for one subject but 10!Or 11 or 12 in some cases.When they set a certain grade because they somehow, believe, that you can do it when you feel it in your guts that you can't, it just adds extra unwanted pressure.Some teachers can be understanding.However, others, and again I won't mention names, can go to the extend of saying that a certain subject is not important and therefore we need not study too hard for it.
There are of course numerous occations where I feel really bad because I can't live up to a persons expection.Feeling that you yourself can accomplish a task that is expected of you and feeling that you really can't do it, yet it is expected of you to do better is two completely different feelings. However, if you able to do it then well done.
I admit that self confidence does play a role in this, however important it might be to some people. Sadly, I don't possese that much and it is pretty obvious.
I DO try my best.Honestly.It's just that when my best isn't good enough for some people and they give you that "You-could-have-done-better" look, I just can't bear it.And then there are the people who expect so much from you that when you don't live up to their expectations, they get angry and make you feel rotten.
I know I shouldn't feel the way I do, but I just can't help it at times even though I know I did my best because I see the disappointed look in their eyes.I feel awful for letting them down.
I really hope I am not the only one who goes through this.
I think I'll go get some coffee now to drown my sorrows.It's too late to eat even though I would love to munch on something.So coffee will have to do.Tata~ =)
HIV/AIDS.Yes, a word that means a lot to some people.Especially those who are stricken with such a disease.
I'm sure most of you by now would have heard this advertisement on the radio.To those who don't, let me give you a rough summary of it.
It starts of with various people speaking.One by one they introduce themselves by saying their name and occupation.I cant exactly remember all so I'll just make up a few la.It goes something lika "I'm Eric.I'm a consultant.I'm Daniel.I'm a doctor.I'm Jenny and I'm a biotechnition."There are about ten or so people speaking up.Then...when all is said..a woman says "One of these people is HIV positive.Can you tell?......(Music plays in the background)...."Your ears do not discriminate.Why should you?".
I've always thought this advertisement was a great way to enlighten some on the topic.I never get tired of hearing it.It was really thought provoking and I totally agree with it.
Discrimination is common nowadays.But sticking to the topic, discrimination against HIV positive people is also common.Being humans, we sometimes tend to look at things in black and white.We tend to block out things that seem foreign to us.In the light of this topic, we tend to shun people who are different from us.That includes disabled people as well but thats a whole other story.
It sholudn't be the case however. Have you ever thought about how they might feel?That maybe all they need at this time in their lives is a friend?Someone to be there for them?A shoulder to cry on?Yet, we do the exact opposite.By shunning them and making them feel like outcasts.Do you actually think that they like carrying this disease?Not knowing if they might be able to fight it?They are people like us after all.People with feelings, hopes and dreams.
Cases of HIV infected people are rising everyday in Malaysia.Latest statistics show that one out of every four Malaysians tested for HIV turns out positive.Year by year the government tries to do something to help these people.Some attempts are successful.Others not.
Not everyone likes to admit it.But we do tend to discriminate one way or another.However, there is always a chance for us to change.If we are willing to make the change that is.
Conclusion : Should we discriminate?You be the judge of that.
