i don't know what signals you are sending me but i'm definately confused.
first day of school yesterday was quite alright. had lots of recap, lots of administration stuff. lots of reminders to help for the tsunami tradegy. i begin taking the bus now because i'm trying to save some money to donate everyday. i won't say how much but it's part of my daily pocket money. seriously, this tradegy really made me realise how lucky and how fortunate i am. while the other tsunami victims are taking shelter in the roads, i'm sleeping in my bed with air condition. singaporean kids are really shen(1) zai(4) fu(2) zong(1) bu(4) zhi(1) fu(2). there's this sec 1 girl who asked me where are they sleeping for the camp. i said in the classroom. and she said,' huh, no aircon one. and still have to squeeze with others.' i'm quite disappointed in the reply actually but can't be balmed. parents treating their kids like princes and princesses, living in district 10 bungalows and driving posh BMW to school, sleeping on a Tempur bed, with air condition the temperature of 18 degree C. we ought to be thankful that we are protected by all the neighbouring countries and not highly affected by the tsunami. this incident has really made me treasure what i have now. i'm volunteering for the fund raising thingy on sunday. hope more will help out and lend the victims a hand.
