001. I dropped my watch in school on Monday. That is to say, it fell off my wrist without me noticing it, so I had no idea when or where it dropped to. I was quite sad because I really liked that watch and I got it when I was 15, no sentimental value really, but I liked the way it looked! So I went home sadly, thinking that I would never see my wristwatch again. It was raining heavily that day and if I had dropped it on the floor/road in school, if it weren't stepped on or run over by cars, it would definitely have been dead. I didn't bother thinking about my watch (My way of dealing with loss.... Remove thoughts of it along with all said emotions from my mind and focus on other things! Also known as denial. Also, I had a History exam the next day.) but when I went to school the next day, someone came up to me, held out my watch and asked if it was mine. I would have hugged the guy! (But I didn't really know him and that would have been awkward.) :-) He found it on the floor and someone must have told him that it was mine. Yay! Thank You, Jesus!


002. Exams are over. How do I feel? Relieved to say the least :-) I'm happy. Now I've got 2 weeks of holidays to spend! The moment I got home from school, I dropped on my bed and slept for 4 hours. It rained and rained and the winds blew and blew but I didn't hear a thing. What shall I do for 2 weeks? People keep asking me what I want to do after SPM. How do I answer that? I want to do a lot of things. I want  to go to Croatia, I want to ride a camel in Egypt, I want to end poverty. The question is not what I want to do after SPM, the question is what can I do after the SPM examinations for further education and what course I'm interested in taking.  Tsk, I'm still young. I don't agree on leaving the course of the future in the hands of 17-year-olds! Wait, that just sounds like the denial talking again. I'm just lazy to look around and find out what my options are.

003. I ate frogs for the first time last night, at my grandmother's birthday dinner. I really like it! The texture is a lot smoother than chicken but tougher than fish, and it has a bit of a crabmeat-ish thing going on there. I think it's better than chicken. But everyone I've told it to made a face at me and said I was gross for eating frogs (along with the declaration that they would never eat frog meat). If you think about it, we eat cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, fishes, eels, sheep, goats... What makes eating those kinds of animals ethical, and frogs not? See, it's all in the mind and conditioned perceptions. We need to step out of our mindsets and... Eat some frogs!
