once upon a March, a delegate of a certain Asian communist country in BGIC V said "i feel like a hypocrite. i'm speaking for something i don't believe in."
and then someone replied, "you're not a hypocrite. you're a politician."

it's term break for bruneian students! WHEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! now i can actually be online!
.
since early this year (count: 3 months so far), i've been sleeping around 8pm. UNBELIEVABLE RIGHT? so i get an average sleep of 10 hours a day. i am SO healthy.
except during public holidays like Chinese New Year (which chinese sleeps early during chinese new year??) and last saturday.
Last saturday, a friend of mine decided to bring a few of us to Dynasty for dimsum, because she was happy it was her birthday (normally she's happy too, but you get it) so umm after dimsum we went to watch 300! midnight show. hm. so it was about an hour till the movie starts, we went to play pool, which i havent done since.. since i left st.george (count: 15 months).
anyway, 300! 300.
"SPARTANS, WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION?"
i would say "to kill".
such a gruesome movie. all they boys i know loved it. i know i almost fell asleep, since it was around 12am. but the general moral of the story: BELIEVE IN YOUR STRENGTH! and you can inspire.
kinda like the hummingbird story* Professor Wangari Maathai told us during BGIC. i suppose she can be a scriptwriter too now? we'll call it 300 hummingbirds.
and latest news: the February progress report is out, and i have AWESOME results. totally unexpected and im beginning to like my teachers better now. but i still dont like the one who told me "page 3 is between page 4 and 5".
the hummingbird story according to Professor Wangari Maathai (Nobel Peace Prize Awardee)
a short and summarised version
once upon a time a huge fire broke out in the forest.
all the animals ran out. they couldn't do anything.
a hummingbird was frantically asking the animals to stop the fire.
the animals couldn't do it. they told the bird to forget it.
the hummingbird refuses.
it flew to and from a river, carrying a single drop of water each trip.
of course it doesn't help.
the other animals just stood and tried to discourage the bird.
the bird didn't stop.
-end-
and then the Professor said if we were all hummingbirds, we could make a huge difference.
what the Professor forgot to include to make this story and inspiring one is that THE OTHER ANIMALS SHOULD'VE BEEN TOUCHED AND INSPIRED AND DID THE SAME AS THE HUMMINGBIRD!
omg. it's like all of us are the animals, who aren't doing anything. the story doesn't even tell us that the animals did anything in the end. i dont get it. do you?
but you know the general idea.
