common courtesy

Today was my HR/IR exam, I sat down in my chair and thought the room was familiar. I remember doing my Biology 1 final there in first year, and I had a really bad experience there. I recall an acquaintance wanting to sit next to me, god I hated his guts so much. He sat next to me and kept asking me if I answered a particular question and even attempted to take my multiple choice answer sheet. Of course I objected, perhaps I should've been more assertive to get my message across to this thick headed jerk. The examiner came to tell him to stop talking, thank god. Now I remember why I hate this jerk so much. Good luck with becoming a maths teacher. I honestly don't know how you can want to be a teacher when you think cheating is something acceptable.

Okay on a lighter note, I was waiting for my train back home today. It was an excruciating 28 minutes of waiting in searing heat. A commuter was rushing to get on the train and nearly knocked a lady over. A bystander bellowed at the commuter (who was already in the carriage), "Oi, have you heard of excuse me?" Then the bystander turned around to the lady and retorted, "Gee, some people really have no manners!" At that very moment, the bystander let out an obnoxiously loud burp.

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

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

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
