Ok now.. abt today ha.. day starts off rather wel... though I woke up late n missed SS lecture again.. damn.. I seem to have no idea wats going on for this module.. hopeless gal.. tsktsk.
Anyway... gonna be late for tutorial too.. so decided to rush a cab down.. $14plus.. but htought it worth it today.. cos I met one of the most interesting taxi driver ha.. ya.. sounds kinda dumb hor.. erm. but just wanna say its a sorta nice nice experience.. like an afternoon spent at somewhere serene with a fatherly figure.. haa.

Had a history lesson basically. ha.. coincidental that I should read abt part of wat the indian uncle told me.. like story telling hee.
It started off with him asking if I'm chinese or malay.. haa.. (again) Then asked if I've Peranakan blood.. which I do on my father side. Then asked if I noe how Peranakans came abt.. ignorant me replied thinking it just meant chinese n malay mix in S'pore last time.. haa.
So starts the story::

Malacca was founded by this Sultan *** (pardon me but I can't remember the name;p) Even before(i think) the Portugese, Dutch n later British colonised it (hey I studied abt this!) -Malacca, trading port for spices mainly.

Threats fr Siam (Thailand), so like how Mongolia ties with China by marriage, Sultan sent a delegation with gifts etc to China. China sent a Princess, Han Li Po, to be married to the Sultan. As they speak diff languages, life could be boring for Princess... 500 nobles were selected n sent to Malacca to accompany the Princess.. They set up families with the local pple.. Descendants of these 500 nobles are thus named Peranakans..

Hey aloy!~>. I'm of noble blood haa.. Chinese brought over by the British are of lower class... to wk in the rubber plantations n tin mines.. Only one lady of Peranakan blood came with them.. Baba.

Taxi uncle makes a much more interesting lecturer and I told him so.. haa.. Turn out his interest lies in History... n studied that in the past.. currently doing a Law degree with University of London!~ 2nd n last yr I think.. N he's actually retired.. So part-time dirving taxi.. told me the only other taxi driver of higher qualifications than him is his brother.. WHOA~ Respect them... "huo2 dao4 lau3, xue2 dao4 lau3"

Day passed by with the usual stuff.. but met up with Ben Ang in the late evening... has been a long time since I last meet up with him. He only has limited time.. so picked me up ard 4 plus.. head to harbourfront... thot of gettin coffee.. end up shopping at the shoe shop..

About Jealousy

Most everyone experiences a visit from jealousy, the nasty green-eyed monster, at some point in their lives - whether it's over a best friend's career success or a gorgeous person flirting with their loved one. We tend to think of jealousy as a single emotion, but it is actually a mixture of a whole bunch of feelings; it can manifest itself as sadness, hurt, anxiety, fear, loneliness, paranoia, self-doubt, anger, and even extreme rage. While we can't necessarily stop this unpleasant sentiment from dropping in from time to time, we can control how we choose to act when it hits. When it consumes our thoughts or triggers behavior that can harm relationships or another person, that's when jealousy is truly a monster. The first step in breaking free from jealousy's grip is recognizing the problem, which your results on the Jealousy Test will help you do. The second is taking a deeper look at the real root of the problem: for every jealous feeling there is an emotion lurking behind that is much more significant than the jealousy itself. Jealousy is just the finger pointing at the fears that we are afraid to face. More often than not, the culprit is a feeling of low self-worth and a fear that we are not good enough to hold on to the things that matter most to us.





Results of Your Jealousy Test





Jealousy


Your score = 33






What does your score mean?

Most people experience a certain amount of fear that their loved one could leave them for someone else. After all, these things happen, and when they do, it is usually very painful. You fit right into this usual range - certain situations may spark feelings of jealousy, but generally you are not preoccupied with the fear of losing your partner. If you were honest with yourself while taking the test, this means that you are secure, strong, independent and rational enough to recognize the possibility of losing your partner to someone else, but not be consumed by it. That does not mean that you do not care; you would certainly be as sad or crushed as anybody else. However, you know that if it ever happens, you will survive with your self-esteem and dignity intact. You realize that even though you might love your partner very much, s/he is not the only fish in the sea, and that you would eventually find happiness with someone else. Such feelings give you a sense of security and the strength to trust, and allow you to be comfortable in the relationship. That, in turn, boosts the chances of a lasting and fulfilling relationship.

A Donkey Tale Shows Us How to Live

Courtesy of Dorine Barranco

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously
for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.

Finally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up
anyway, it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. So he invited all
his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began
to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was
happening and cried horribly.
Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later,
the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw.

With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something
amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up! As the farmer's neighbors
continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and
take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up
over the edge of the well and trotted off!

Moral: Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to
getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our
troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by
not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up!

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

Reminds me of how moi piano teacher actually taught me to "sorta" go against my mum's wishes.. n live for myself... for my own happiness.... she one cool person.. not cos of that but for the simple fact that she does care for me.. concern abt my life.. n not just piano or $.
