Today was slack, and slack=good, so I suppose you could say today was a good day, but what's good anyway haha? I could tell you the story about my begging/borrowing (no stealing though!). Today I went to school all the way (and I do mean all the way) by bus, which means I had to take two buses: 73 and 156. So I waited at the circus till 73 came and then I got on and put my hand into my pocket and it kind of groped miserably around for a few seconds before realising that the wallet was not there. So I kind of looked haplessly at the bus auntie and said I forgot my wallet. And she smiled at me benevolently and told me to hop on girl. Then I got off at the other bus stop and waited till 156 came and I went up hiding behind a HCI boy and as he was going up (and I knew that there was no hope of sneaking on) I had to almost half pull his bag off and say excuse me could I borrow 55 cents? So that's the story of how my way was paid.
HCI boys have risen in the ranks in the grand order of things. Kudos boy! :D Thanks a lot.


Well, we had assembly at the end of the day, and Mrs Wong was giving this talk about leadership. I know that a lot of people will not agree when I say not everyone can be a leader. I'm pretty sure Lishian didn't like it when I said that leaders are born and not made. Hello, it doesn't really matter to me, but that's the way I think things are. In essence, all great leaders are born. Well, who taught Churchill or MLK or Hitler or Kennedy or LKY or Che Guevara? And Mao Zedong was pretty much uneducated. Tell me how the hell these people learned how to lead? It must have been in them already. Maybe I'm making this real huge assumption and everyone will get offended especially those purveyors of everyone can be a leader and work hard and you can achieve anything. Now, I am in no way saying that this is complete BS. Of course it isn't. It's just that, there's a whole lot more to it than pure hard work. That's why some people are special and some people aren't. Look, we're all special, but people like Che are special. Well that's just that. I don't expect to become anything special in particular. Maybe in my next life, haha.

We went to Kranji, it was just lonesome me because I didn't get to go with the tenners and the sixers. So, just me. But in the end I got to hang out for a while when we were roaming around the gravestones. The youngest kid was Papayya who died at 16.
The place is really peaceful though, not deady-like. It's kind of nice.

- sometimes the hardest thing.
