family

family drama can be a chore sometimes. so everybody thinks that having your family members (including relatives) being close to you is a good thing. but i guess it sometimes works in reverse. sigh! there is a chinese saying that goes (and i translate literally): seeing is easy but living together is difficult. so. i guess this explains it all huh.

i have a queen, a princess and a dowager at home. what more do i need? the dowager demands attention for the tiniest little things. can throw tantrums at inadequate times and makes our lives harder most times. the queen is scary most times. so scary that you cannot make her angry cause she always makes the same threat: she will bring her prince home. LOL. and the princess. she is ever demanding and overbearing. she thinks the world revolves around her. all three can be such b****** at times.

but as my aunt (the one i really respects) always says (another chinese saying which i translate literally): if you bear with it, the sea will calm down; if you take a step back, the skies will clear. but sometimes, i feel that my limit is being stretched.

so family and relatives. i guess most times they are a good thing. most times.

patience is a virtue

okay. so i know that patience is a virtue. but i am totally lacking it now. the internet at home is really testing my patience these days. what a seriously screwed-up modem. especially at night. the connection is... no words can be used to describe it. oh God, give me an instrument of thy patience.

studying is such a chore. our lives are separated into two parts- study and work. first half of our lives, we spend it studying. the second half- working. life is boring. we need to do something exciting while we still can. who wants to go for work and travel with me in the summer break of 2011/2012? in USA theme park:):)

wake up sister. the world does not revolve around you. stop acting as though every one owes you.

tsubasa^^ where are my wings?

i have to learn how to say no

okay. i am here to vent. lol.

i really have to learn how to say no. i feel very taken advantaged of these days. especially during lectures. i will not name anyone but you should know who your are. made me so pissed that you were there but you were not making the effort. and you still dared to open your mouth and borrow from me. and furthermore, still dare to tell me that you will return it to me another day when we were released half an hour early and you had a break after that. and, you still asked me to go find you when you were the one asking me for a favour. how could you? the world does not revolve around you. i am busy too.

how many times has that happened already? if there was once, there will be a next time. that was what e2 told me that i really understood after this. i can totally see how you treat people like me. like we are substitutes. guess what? we do not like being your substitutes. stop using us like we are free. you are causing negative externalities.

i swear that today will be the last time. do not even dare try it next semester or i will definitely give you black face the whole semester. see if i do not.

on a cheery note, i finished one of my exam papers today :)
