MUSIC!

A rainy day
Is passing slowly
The skies are dark
With clouds of grey

And in my mind
I’m counting teardrops
And yet I feel I’ve gone astray

A rainy day
Won’t last forever
So if you see
No hope in sight

Just lift your head
And watch the raindrops
Make all the colours clean and bright

A rainy day
Got in the way
But it’s not here to stay

and when the sunlight’s out again
Beyond the clouds will be a rainbow
Glowing then and there

Beyond the clouds will be a rainbow
Glowing then and there

Beyond the clouds will be a rainbow
Glowing there

 

Just thought that this is a very meaningful song to share during this exam period

MUSIC!

I had and still have many nasty comments. And I think yes, I’m feeling jealous. It’s human isn’t it?

 

I have decided, though, that for just this once, I’ll keep some of the mean things that I want to say to myself.

 

One thing that I will say though. If you think long and hard, you will realise why I’m angry. If you can’t figure out why, or manage to rationalise your way out of it, then oh well, nothing I do or say will change your mind right?

 

I think that I will not do what has been done unto me. Love thy neighbour, I’ll try to do that. Hopefully He will help me to do the best I can.

MUSIC!

You know, while writing the previous entry, I already expected a response like that. The only thing that I can and will say is that sometimes people view the world through rose-tinted glasses.

I think that I want to make something a bit clearer. If you were there when they gave the present to me, you would have been able to see that I genuinely liked the present. You would have been able to tell from the fact that two days later I wore the damn shirt that I did like it.

If you are part of the group that gave me the present. Then I ask you to ask yourself this. Did the lot of you really think about what I would like for a present? Did you bother yourselves to find something meaningful for me?

Yes the fact that you all gave me a gift is something that I appreciate. You know what I appreciate more. Did you know that someone in that same group gave me another present? Did you know that he did a chalk drawing for me?

That drawing is something that I will treasure for the rest of my life.

Why?

Purely because it is something that comes straight from the person’s heart.

I agree with you actually. This is a very trivial thing, but trivial things are, and have always been, triggers to much larger events. And I also think that I misrepresented myself in my previous post. Its not that I don’t appreciate the gift and the gesture, I do. Its the fact that the barest minimum amount of effort was spared for this endeavour that bothers me.

I have no doubt in my mind that had there been thought put into this, the resultant present would have been totally different. Let me just say this, You might not know what I want/need. Did you try to ask someone who might? The same someone who gave me the most meaningful present of all?

I rarely do things without a reason. And this is no exception. The previous entry was written 1.) To vent, 2.) To make a point

And evidently, my point has been made.

If you are really a friend of mine, and you mean the best for me, you would not have needed to anonymously express your feelings. If you know me for any amount of time, you will know that I will explain myself.

Maybe, you should get the whole story before you attempt to comment on something that was clearly composed in a fit of irritation and frustration.

I don’t know who you are, but I agree with you. I was and am a bit petty. Last I checked, I was human. I have my flaws, as i was writing the thing, I couldn’t help but feel that it was damn petty. But I think that it’s something that really bothers me. If you were in my situation you might know how I feel.

In any case, I thank you for standing up and saying this to me. I will think on what you’ve said as I hope that you think on what I’ve written here.

I mean no offense or personal attack with this. I just hope you understand how i feel at the end of this.

MUSIC!

ok... lemme be clear arh... I'm not whining... Im bitching about something thats been bothering me for quite a long time...
Correct me if im wrong, but isn't the logic for buying presents as a group to get a more substantial present than what one person would otherwise be able to get?
If so, then why is it that sometimes the presents are quite insignificant? I mean in the sense that I probably would have been willing to buy the present as an individual anyway... And also in the sense that the present seems to be something that people onli get at the last minute....
Whatever happened to the thought that counts?
I was just out with a good fren of mine today. Was sorta talking to him about this. And lets just say that while walking around orchard, I "found" a t-shirt that was given to me as a birthday present. Let's just say the bitching starts from there.
The fact that I managed to find the bleddy thing just goes to show how little thought went into choosing the present. Personally, the reason why I go to such extreme lengths to get a proper present for people is that I want them to have something unique to remember me by. Money, while it is an issue when buying, for me, sometimes gives way to pure thought and friendship, dare I say Love, for the recipient.
Will continue later have things to do and places to go....
Bitchy Mood ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Almost 12 hours since I first started this post. I think one thing that I want to be clear about is the fact that I'm not trying to be ungrateful or anything lor. Its just that I feel that an amount of effort needs to go into getting a present and in this particular case, the only effort put in seems to be choosing the color. I like the present. Its just that I cannot appreciate the thought behind the giving of the present. To me it seems like whoever is giving this is just going through the motions. Like, oh his Birthday come already, Shit! we need to get present, how arh? Dunno what he wants le. How arh? Get T-shirt lor (Getting the one thing I have in abaundance, stroke of genius) I think that it didn't occur to certain people that sometimes usefulness/practicality is very very over-rated. Most of the nicest presents I've recieved rarely have any use besides sitting around and looking pretty. I actually have a lot of opinions besides that, but I think that I don't want to launch personal attacks on anyone. Last night, I recieved some gifts from my choir frens. I was really very touched with some of them. Just a simple card, and it makes my day. That being said.... I'm really gonna miss choir! I love all you guys! will add more later... must work now...
