I'm blogging today as promised.(:Emaths paper 2 was generally okay.But after paper I realised I've made tonnes of mistakes!): Chemistry was a tad tough,most of the questions were for TYS . I did TYS YAYYYY,but I didnt flip to the ans sheet and see the correct answer =.= Completed section A in like 20minutes so I guess I'll probably flunk it badly. But there again,I did my best (:
Headed to KFC for lunch again today.Fats,fats,fats!): Libraryed after tht but got chased out when we barely stepped in 2 minutes -.- But we weren't making a single noise luh,probably cause we're blocking the people' way.
Slacked about @ food culture and accompanied Mel for a haircut (: Not much difference though haha.Headed home,bridged once and decided to stop LOL (: Tomorrow will be A.mathings the whole day.Main focus shall be on surds,binomial and log.I suck at them ): LOL.

My friend told me this story which really somehow made me learn the most valuable lesson in my entire life I guess.
There's this girl who're really poor.Her parents don't give her money to eat.Listen hard,to eat,and not to spend it on miscallaneous stuffs. Not eating for days to her is already a very common routine.And to have a bowl of rice or something can probably lighten up her day. When she's hungry and she tells her mother,her mother would ask her to starve and stuff. 2$ may probably last her 2 days. When her friend couldn't stand it and treated the girl to a meal,guess what the girl said?
"Thank you,it's been such a long time since I've actually sat down and enjoy a meal."
And it's just a meal bought in the canteen.Canteen food?Defined by almost everyone - Cheap and affordable.Yet to that girl it seemed like delicacies.
Think,what's the value of $2 to you guys? A normal meal in the school canteen? Just a dollar note which can be crushed and stuffed into your bagpack? To the girl,it's as if priceless.For me,I'll probably die if I survive with only $2 per day. A meal can easily costs 10$ + for me and yet I dont feel the pinch.Wow,$10.Probably can last the girl for a good 15 meals or so ?
Just on Sunday,spent $30 on stationeries.Felt really guilty.More guilty after hearing to this girl's encounter.
I feel really shallow.I didnt' know a $2 can matter so much to someone. Usually when my mother nags at me and stuff,I dont feel any pinch nor any sense was knocked into me.But right after I hear the story,I teared instantly.
All of the sudden I just feel super shallow-minded stupid and pathetic.Till this age then I realise how many people are starving out there.
Wake up.
