breakthrough!
histrionics: fallen - sarah mclachlan.

verbatim.

"my bloody arts class can't even answer that vocab. question!"
- mr. gerald chong's offensive stand when we were told no one knows the meaning of "inundate".
(note: i told you i need to work on my vocab.!)

"you must have self-pride and motivation. do it for yourself."
- mr. kooi's wise words.

verbatim.terminus

mr. kooi talked the entire two periods of math tutorial today.
obviously, we were pretty pleased.
and i must say that he's a good tutor.

mrs. teo has a beautiful spirit.
i asked her about her reason(s) for dropping gothic lit.for our batch, and her answer struck me.
it's extremely powerful for me when i hear about people going out of their way and sacrificing for others.
she didn't want us to undergo emotional turmoil, just like the previous two batches of students did.
also, she mentioned this particular girl to me, whose attitude change considerably (for the worse) when she took up gothic. and even when this girl's already graduated, mrs. teo arranged to meet her today to understand more about her situation at home and to aid her in her university admission.

i'm thankful for tutors like mrs. teo.
i'm someone who's captivated by acts of love and kindness, because i feel that's what one's life is all about. one finds purpose when one loves (i don't mean the romantic kind).

my life is to bless others, to give to others, to love others.
my life is for others.
even for you who's reading this. :)

i was told i ate lots today. carrot cake, beehoon & nasi padang during my breaks.
hmm..is that a lot?

i'm left with less than twenty bucks for the week.
i'm poor. where did all my money go? :(

i went for afternoon p.e. today.
what a breakthrough! am rather pleased with myself. :)

laughed a lot at somebody 'cos the way he did his split jumps was so funny.
but i think he might be angry, so i wanna apologise. didn't mean any harm..

i'm actually beginning to like exercising.
i feel like i'm regenerated rejuvenated! :)

hope our exercise pact comes through.

now it's time for bed.
and i'll attempt ms. victor's holiday assignment later.
after hearing mrs. teo's description of certain sense & sensibility essays being very bad, i'm starting to wonder if lit. is as easy as it's always seemed. perhaps 'crapping' doesn't always work. i stress that complacency is a major downfall. -sigh-
