heard on the radio this morning.. was class 95 i think.
it's some programme where they invite the listeners to recommend books or something, then they recommended a book i've read before few months back..
five people you meet in heaven - mitch albom.
it's very meaningful la, to me, at least. =/ it's about this guy who died saving this little kid, then he goes to heaven and meet five different persons, who affected his life the most, for the better or worse. if i remember correctly, one was his mother, one was his father, one his teacher, etc..
maybe it's too early to ask, but up till now, which are the five persons who has the greatest impact on your life?
first should be my dad. his bad habits, made me not want to grow up like him, so i guess it was a good influence. not that my dad is a lousy one or what la. he's strict when he needs to, and shows care and concern as well, but just that he doesn't make a good husband. =/ but the underlying cause is actually money. he's a spendthrift la. and also quite a typical guy to place his 'buddies' before family. i don't know any of his buddies, but i guess so la. but he's getting more responsible now la. just that once in a while he'll splurge his money on 4D, toto, etc which my mum sometimes will just follow along.. typical singaporeans. -.- this influenced me lo.. that's why you don't see me gamble. but well, though admittedly, occasionally it's a good thing that they gambled though. =xx
next is my mum lo. keke. okay la. more of a good example. =/ but she nags alot. then i also become quite naggy. =x but she beats me hands down, i swear. and yeah, not easy to be a mum la. take care of the meals, laundry, cleans the house, worries about children's results, well-being of the whole family.. fall sick also cannot rest, etc etc. haha.. if i were to stereotype her, she'd be a perfect example of a noble mum. =x but yeah la. hahaha. it's hard not to be filial when you have a mum or parents lydat.
another one is my good friend.. though we're not as close anymore, but she was a good confidante and vice versa when we were close. haha, but admittedly, she confided in me 80% of the time. qixin.. keke. learnt quite alot from her la, and she's the first girl that i can just talk normally without any care of offending her or what. haha. cos i'm not that good at communicating with girls de la. it's better now, but i was those type of person when a girl talk to me, i'd just give short replies and will avoid looking into their eyes.. LOL. hahaha, well. now i try to avoid eye contact as well, unless.. =/ nvm about that. lol. yeah la. and also, i'm proficient in speaking in english is also thanks to her. i'm chinese speaking de ma. then only i'm english literate in my whole family. =/ so yeah, obviously i'd be chinese speaking right. then thanks to her, i'm now more comfortable with conversing in english, and to talk with girls, etc.. and also become more street smart la. i used to tell her that she's one of the two girls in my life. =/ with the other girl being the one i liked at that point of time. but more or less, after we graduated from sec school and entered ngee ann, we slowly drifted lo. now we've got our own separate lives. but i'm still quite grateful to her la, though i'm not going to admit that to her. LOL.
next is my upper sec english teacher, tan swee suan aka rosemary tan. hahaha. she's very different from the usual teachers la. in that she doesn't demand respect from us, but she'll still be able to gain them nevertheless. and she doesn't raise her voice at all. very calm and collected. which i admire in a teacher. i mean, you won't really appreciate a teacher if she/he were to shout at every little thing right. haha, i got to learn many qualities and lessons in life from her la. but too bad she quit teaching the year we graduated.
four for now.. can't really think of the fifth one. but hopefully there will be changes in the future lo.
time for some ranting.
i don't really appreciate it when people talk to me online, talking about nonsense, and then say not fun de, when i can't be bothered to entertain them. don't talk about dicks to me plox, i don't have that kind of fetish, will. -.- once in a long while, bullshit with each other, it's okay. but don't specially initiate a convo just to bullshit ley. -.- plus i'm specially irritable when i'm suffering from lack of sleep.
and it's damn ironic that some people whom i've advised not to do certain things when they asked, go ahead and do it anyway, end up regretting. fxxking stupid, i swear. what's the point in asking for opinions when you're already going ahead to do it. and what's the point in regretting when you've already done it and got yourself backed down in a corner. let's say for finances, in my case. my parents are getting old. my elder sis is suspected of having a major illness which i shall not say here. we've savings plus insurance money to last us for years PROVIDED no emergencies happen. but do you see me splurging all my money away the moment i've my hands on them? i don't really scrimp, and i can be generous if i need to, but i don't bloodily waste my money. gambling, smoking, drinking, all these. the first two are just wasting money outright, i don't engage in them. as for drinking, during social events, friends all on, wanna go, then i'll go. but i'll never ever initiate such an outing. but fxck, in the end it's still all up to your own priorities la. if you place the welfare of your family first, there's no need to teach you what to do. if you place your own welfare and enjoyment, etc first, then good luck to you. many things are just plain obvious from the actions alone.
but i said so much, i didn't even save a single cent during the whole of march. seriously screwed sia. gonna start slow. need to restrict my spendings this month to cover back my losses. kns, seriously damn scary. 4 digits become 3 digits within a month. that's effing alot ley. besides, it's not as if there wasn't any income during the month. =x i don't even dare to calculate my expenses now. april 10 hurry up and come plox. =/
