the past week has been filled with lots of events.. both good and bad, fun-filled and tension-filled.


cant really rmb what happened on mon, tues and wed.. guess it was nothing much thus the insignificance.. but thursday. oh well. i dont know whatever happened to cos this major split across the class. maybe i do. ok, i guess i do know why it has became like this.
intolerance, unforgivingness, miscommunication, and the list goes on..


but after hearing from michael his reasons in the morning, listening to what happened (adding in a bit of scolding), i went home that day thinking alot. about human nature. about how relationships and friendships are so fragile. and why war goes on like nobody's business now.


what i heard really made me disappointed. not in him, but in life. if you do this to me, i'll do it back to you? is this how life should be? is life all about revenge? is it that difficult to forgive and forget? ok, i admit that it is not easy to forget what ever happened, but all it takes is a forgiving heart and an open mind, right? cliche, it may seem, but it's definitely true. is it not tiring to bear grudges, to be on bad terms when you see each other 5 days a week, and cast tension in that very classroom that we study and learn in? i dont know. the tension in the world, and intolerance towards others leads to prejudice and discrimination. (GP! haha.)


and i think the problem lies in accumulating all ill feelings, until it balloons and explodes. there's a certain extent to which people can tolerate. but whatever it is, thrash it out and not behave in such a way that it hurts others. no ill feelings attached. this, is in the context of war. unhappy? hold peace talks. though it doesnt seem to work for US and whatever country it is always fighting with, but why go to such an extent of bombing each other and causing harm to innocent citizens? not only that, the rest of the world is affected. economy plunges, import and export prices go up, blah blah blah.


that afternoon, after the GP video which was some how hilarious, (though i didnt see the joke behind some of those that russel peter -or whatever his name is- cracked which got emilyn gasping for air. haha) i was anticipating to go home. then, i got caught in THEIR conversation. the in between people might have translated messages of perhaps the wrong idea - miscommunication. as the chinese proverb goes, hua she tian zu. instead of just drawing a snake as it is, other things get added along the way and it no longer becomes a snake. oh wells. and whats the point of speaking it among yourselves? it wont solve matters, but could make things worse. so, i called denise who was at the waffle shop to come to LT2, where everyone was supposed to thrash everything out, and leave the LT without any more of these quarrels.


at the end of the day, i cant say for sure that things were great, but i cant deny that things were slightly better than before. at least both sides know what the other is feeling right?


and yesterday evening's gathering at dearest mrs koh's house was that wonderful event of the week. i believe we ALL had a great time, right? and it really pleases me to see them having fun TOGETHER.. i was just standing by the study room next to the dining table and caught sam and shu li joking together. and i found myself smiling to myself. spastic, i know, but i couldnt help it! haha. and that big mass of people playing some game together.. but i had most fun with dear little issac, mrs koh's cute youngest son. his eyes were so very round and he's just so cute!!!!!! ahhh!!!! i miss him already. haha. so we played catching- him chasing joan with his rubber spider! hahaha. and when he smiles, my, you could just pinch his cheek. haha. his shyness make me laugh. he'll hide his head in his mother and smile shyly. awwwww.


thank you, mrs koh, for that gathering at your house. we appreciate your invitation (and hope there's more to come!). hahaha.


S04, please stay united as we were just last month, where we cheered together as one whole class during sea sports carnival. we make the world go round! =)
