monkeycrap's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- countdown : 5 days. As i sit here writing this entry, most people are probably still in la-la-land. Or undergoing some torture training sessions. Actually i'd be training too, if i hadn't quit playing golf like 6 years ago. Eh stop laughing la, i had talent ok! I'd be bringing glory to school and to myself ok. I got my handicap when i was 12. I played on courses. Damn it why did i stop? Maybe its cos i don't wanna turn out like some old chi-co-peh with a beer belly, flirting with the receptionists at the golf clubs, with absolute zero dress sense and belching out lame jokes during lunch. But it's worth it, sacrificing being a normal human for a speech by gurmit that'll go... "Yesterday at the laguna golf club, one of our boys, who prefers to remain anonymous, did our school proud. He had 6 birdies..No wait let me rephrase that. He SCORED 6 birdies and carded a 12 under par score of 82 to clinch the A div boys title." (applause comes from all corners of the auditorium, except from the class of 2sb3, which, being as unresponsive as it normally is already, will just concentrate on sleeping or doing their intra-class coupling activities. Sorry guys, kidding yeah?) In my dreams man. Anyway will be going off soon to give spike a sort of farewell lunch at marina square, our usual hangout. He's going back to hk for further studies. Sigh. Another good friend going for better things. So happy for him and not at all jealous. Heh. Anyway this is all part and parcel of reality. Currently reading this book by an American monk. Quite interesting. He feels that there are 3 actions which will improve one's life. 1. Look at the big picture. Failing one test now will not stand for much in the future. 2. Understand that for every cause, there is an effect and vice versa. There is a reason as to why people suddenly bump into long lost friends at some unexpected place. 3. Differentiate fact from fiction. Fantasy from reality. Stay in the moment. And there are 4 ways to help yourself to do so. 1. Know that life is short. There is no time to waste. 2. Know that you're blessed with a life in which you can do many things to enhance inter and intra personal happiness. 3. What we do now shapes our future and destiny. 4. The journey isn't easy. It's supposed to be real. Can't escape from negative feelings. Be real and true to yourself. Live in the moment, not for the moment. Most people aren't being themselves because they're affected by pleasure and pain, loss and gain, praise and blame, fame and shame. Of course, all these are just talk. It's like econs, all theories which may not work in the real world. But hard as it may be, it is quite true, and there's no harm trying to be a better person right? Which is why i'm not gonna insult people anymore. Okok, maybe insult them less. Ok, maybe i'll just cut down a little on my insults. OK I CAN'T DO IT, DAMN IT. Actually it's quite true. How many times do we reget being evil and stuff and vow to become a better person, only to have people like au and stuff coming about to happily test the boundaries? Speaking of which, school's on in 5 days time. Better start searching for my homework. Cheers. 8:56 a.m. - 2003-06-25 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
