Did JAE on Sunday’s night to escape the Jam might occuring on Monday. Here are my 12 choices, in order:

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as when one problem was solved, a new one arose.

Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil, without saying a word.

In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.

Turning to her daughter, she asked, “Tell me what you see.”

“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied.

Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg. Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma.

The daughter then asked, “What does this mean, mother?”

Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity… boiling water. Each had reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.

The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting in the boiling water, its insides became hardened.

The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After being in the boiling water, they had changed the water.

“Which are you?” she asked her daughter. “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?”

Think of this: Which am I?

Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?

Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?

Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changed the hot water, the very circumstance that brought the pain in the first place. When the water got hot, the beans released their fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst; you get better and change the situation around you.

When the hour is darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can’t go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

I will be coffee bean….I can stay strong and I will be strong.

I Cried.

It’s hard to describe the feeling inside me for the past few months. How I wish, I have magical power, to change things for the better, for my family, for everything.

Family has not been doing well for the past few months. Cold war between parents and miscommunication between me and my mum make me unable to breath. I find it difficult to cope, difficult to accept, difficult to believe.

I sometime wonder why…why is it so difficult to handle marriage, why is it so difficult to live under one roof, why is it there are so many problem happening in the family.

I love them, that is the reason why I don’t why this family to be separated. I have been trying all ways for the pass few months to solve the problem but it all failed. Please! Please tell me what I should do, what should I do to make this family reunited. What should I do to solve everything! Everything…

I started to feel useless. I’m such a failure as the eldest son. Am I making everything worse? When can they take one step back to see everything? Everyone have a responsible to play, but no one willing to take the step.

I wish I have magical power, to bring this family reunited again, a happy family again, a family I would love to live in, no matter what hardship we have to go through, I willing to go through with them. Please, please give me the magical power to make this happen. Please…

God, May I beg you, to give me the strength and power to handle the problems. May I have you to help me solve the problem with me, together like a family, because… because I really miss those time. Really…

I got my O level results today. Not bad, I was expecting something worse.

English – C5 (Was expecting E7 or E8)
Combined Humanities – B3 (I wanted an A )
Mathematics – B3 (I wanted an A too)
Science – B4 (I thought I would fail science!)
Principles of Accounts – A1 (YAY!)
Chinese – A1 (I got B3 for mid-year though. Mama cursed that I would fail Chinese due to I can’t really read Chinese. But hey! I got A1!)Overall, I’m happy with the result. The suspense was killing me and I was not able to sleep well last night. Finally, it’s over. Time to move on, to a new stage of life.

It’s finally over. I may choose poly as my choice. My mum happy for me too. Today is my happiest day in my life.

A song written January 5, 2008. A comedy ballad about porn, spam and internet encounters.

Er…I’m 100% sure that I can’t sing this song. Want more porn?

I was affected by the MRT disruption very badly yesterday. I came out from home about 1 hour earlier in order to reach school early for a project. However, I ended up late for school for half an hour. ><

I tried to draw comic about what happened but it failed very badly. >< Cockroach‘s drawing had never improve ><

By the way, today was quite an unpleasant day with some events upset me quite a lot. *sigh* when will those unhappy event stop happening to me?

Sweet things happen too! Melinda, Weasleys OGL, was giving everyone a letter! How sweet! Mmmm… little things like this do brighten someone’s day. Thank Melinda!

Coming Thursday will be the day of taking O level results. Hoping for the best…

We always have been running against the time, to the end.

As you play the game, your cursor dies and you have to start over. How boring. However, on your next life, your previous cursor repeats everything you have did during that life, assisting your current life. Confused? It’s easy!
