memory lane

I probably should be asleep in bed right now, but I thought I'd ramble on about things before I sleep. First of all, I'm really okay now. I'm not planning to be vindictive and seek revenge on that idiot. It was probably my fault for yelling back at him. But anyway, its already happened. It was just one of those days.

So on Saturday we had our primary school reunion (stole a picture my sister took). It was nice to see the school once again, even though it is merely a 5 minute walk from my house. I went with Amy and Pisan to the school. I was pretty surprised my 2nd grade teacher still recognised me and Pisan. There was a mini museum set up in one of the classrooms and it was nice to see the 125 years of history all put into one room for display. I saw many of the elderly there, and its quite touching to see that they've made the effort to come. Cindy said she saw an elderly woman in a wheel chair at the school. She noted that this woman was all enthusiastic about being back at the school.

Primary school was pretty much the most joyous part of my education, particularly 5th grade... It was a pity my 5th grade teacher never came, I've never learned so much in one year. I wonder if me and my friends would be like those elderly people one day at the school reunion. Would we even recognise each other? Or would we need name tags? I used to think if time machines really did exist, I'd go back to the 5th grade. But they don't exist at all, I think I'm just as happy to just have memories of that part of my life. It sure was good fun to stand in front of those pictures and try to find me and my friends in a picture of the entire school. I think flipping through "Wheres Wally" books as a kid really helped! Too bad I never found myself in that picture.

Right, just got back from dinner, sure was good fun. I hope you liked the book, I was contemplating keeping it :D! I'd ramble on about more if I could, theres more that I want to write about. But alas, I must be up in about 4 hours. Sigh! I hate Mondays, I wish the weekends never go by.

I've spent my last few days indulging in too much charcoal chicken and an assortment of desserts. So much for going on a diet. I keep saying I'll start jogging, yet my new sneakers just keep collecting dust. I've been pondering what to save up for and a holiday to Antarctica seems rather tempting, I've always dreamt of going there ever since I was a child. I suppose I like to chase after the unconventional. Hope you have a sweet week ahead! Image credit:  impossibleastronaut

I can hear the rain slowly falling upon the roof and the trickle of rainwater down the roof gutter. I felt a burning sensation from the antiseptic explode around my grazed knee. I have learned an important lesson, do not cross the road whilst you are tremendously drowsy. Thankfully there were no cars on the road, I picked up my belongings and limped home. It was just a bad week for me. I've secured myself a job over the holiday and I rather look forward to it. I plan to enter the  Canon Photo5  competition, I just haven't had much inspiration the last few days. I don't anticipate on winning but it certainly seems appealing. The competition seems like a great way to challenge one's perception, to be creative, to take something ordinary and turn it into something extraordinary.  I tend to erupt in sheer contempt when someone taunts me, I've learned to conceal that now. I find myself avoiding certain people and situations because I know I can't hold my

Happiness is a never ending quest for many of us. Some never quite find it whilst some spend their entire lives searching for it. Happiness is intangible, you can't see it nor can you touch it. You can't see all things with plain sight, sometimes you have to look much deeper than that.  The most common mistake that people commit is the presumption that happiness is something which must constantly be pursued. Instead of aimlessly searching, we should create our own happiness. Sometimes you must brave the dark hour of reason before you can appreciate all that is before you.  Friends are the very foundation of my entity. Without foundation, I would not exist. This is me writing to give thanks to those who mean anything at all to me. Some of them won't see this at all, but that's fine by me. Thank you for your counsel, encouragement and simply being there.  P.S I have no idea who those guys are in the picture above, but they sure made this a very memorable pict
