[19/01/2010] Today's class was really really tiring! My whole day was packed with activities. Wuiyo, i can't imagine how long could i stand this kinda schedule. Hmm, and today, i've come to a sudden realization that I'm actually nothing you know. I have a lot more to learn. :( Everything is way more than what it seems to be. Okay, i actually planned to sleep now, but thoughts are still running in my mind, jumping here and there, knocking on the wall, they want to be known! And somehow just got these very weird feelings. :S Oh well, grant their wish!
Okay, MONDAY, the debate. Nature Vs. Nurture. Actually Nurture can really win you know. However, they missed out lots of important and killing facts. Besides that, my team, our motion, was supported with solid examples. (The facts i found and i know! ^^) I proudly announce the winner, MY TEAM!!! Woot! NOt bad. ;D I'm happy. It was the first time me joining a debate. It's scary, really! 1st speaker: Faz; 2nd speaker: Agnes; 3rd speaker: Myli. :) Happy working with you all! OOh, and another thing, in the end, almost the whole class was attacking 'Nature'. =/ And after the debate Fiona said it's as if she had just attended a BIO lecture. Lol. I talked too much bio. :p I loveeee BIO, there's simply no way you can make me not to love it. Overall, it was indeed a valuable experience, and yeah, debate is fun!! :D
After that we had quiz on modals. Actually it was supposed to be in the afternoon! But, it's okay, doesn't make much difference, you learnt, then you know how to do. As easy as that. For me, it wasn't hard at all. Quite surprisingly, it was rather easy. Luckily i didn't spend too much time studying it. :P
Today, TUESDAY. Hmm, as i have mentioned the first thing in this post, it's PACKED! :( Okay let's see. (sorry my mind is not really working well now, and i don't really have the heart to type full sentences.) Today we had Mr Nyolet's class, i was quite upset cuz he still has not returned my essay yet. In fact, he has not even marked it yet. :( I waited patiently for two weeks to read the comments for my essay leh. :( Ah, gotta wait for another week then. Alright, during his lesson, we did a poem. A totally unfamiliar poem was given to us and we were asked to find metaphors, issues, themes, and other literary devices in groups.
Nothing Gold Can Stay
Robert Frost
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower,
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief.
So dawn goes down to a day,
Nothing gold can stay.
Basically the whole poem tells us that nothing lasts forever, no beauty can be preserved, any living thing will finally die, precious things are always temporary. Then Mr Nyolet was asking what are the issues concerning this poem, i replied "seize every moments while you still have the time". softly. "What? What did you say just now?" he asked. "I think i heard something philosophy. Please say it again." I was a little surprised and happy with the word "philosophy". Ooh, of course it will sound philosophy! Come on, who was the one saying it? huh? huh? :P I said it aloud again and Danny asked for my sentence. Lol. Quoted by Agnes Lee Z.H. 19/02/2010.
Well, this poem reminded me how short can something very precious be. Just like a flower, it blooms and then withers. How short the beauty is! Eden, from the bible, it's like a promise land, you have everything wonderful inside. It's also referring to a happy land, a symbol of happiness, a beautiful garden. BUT. Eden sank to grief too. All the wonderful things are very precious, valuable, meaningful...temporary. Since we can't keep them, why not we appreciate them while we still have them? One day your strength will be lost, you will grow older, you will lose a lot of abilities. So since we are still young right now, why don't we seize every moments, to do something meaningful, to help a friend, to pray for someone, to love, to care and to do many wonderful things which you ought to do before you don't have the time anymore.
At night, was supposed to have dinner in Scotland. T.T CHEESY BAKED RICEEEE!!! :( But i chose to go CF instead of joining church buddies for a dinner and meeting. Aiyo. :( Didn't get to eat my CHEESY . BAKED . RICE . :( I'm sure they had loads of fun tonight. Well, i had a great night too. Again, the topic "TIME" surfaced in CF's sharing tonight. Mdm Chai asked, "What would you do if you only have ONE DAY left on Earth?" this question. this question.Thiiiiiis question. How would you answer? Take your time to really think over it. Actually i have answered this question before, and i remember i asked mun and others. All giving different answers. But at that time the question was if the world is coming to an end soon. BUt for this question, you only know that you are going to die the day before you die, and you only have ONE DAY, just one day to do the things you want, what would you do on that day?
For me, one day is just too short to do the things i want to do. 1st, I want to write letters and give lots of present out for my friends, people i care and love. But one day is definitely not enough for me to do those. Since i can't do that in one day, i will chose my 2nd plan. I would want to hold a big, a really big gathering at my house, or somewhere. I'll invite my family, relatives, all my friends and people i love and people who love me. I will also invite anyone who's interested and willing to go. That whole day, basically i just want to spend my last few hours with them, sing songs together, praise Lord, give thanks to everything we have all this while. Thank my family for giving me such a wonderful place called home. Thank them for being my shelter and refuge that always shield me from troubles. Thank them for their constant support, though they didn't always voice it out, but i know. :) Thank them for giving me love, showing me care, forgetting all my wrongs, bearing with me at home (well, sometimes i could get ticked off easily, very easily) thank them for their sacrifices, and thank them for them. I'm not the Agnes today without them. Of course, i would want to grab the chance to encourage them to continue to walk firmly and closely with God, tell them things i've learnt, things God has taught me through trials, tell them things i wanted to tell them long time ago but due to shyness, i kept them deep down inside my heart. But on that day, i want to let them know everything that is wonderful about them. Cuz they are wonderful. :) Thank you all, for always being there. (Okay, know what my eyes are watery now, feel like crying. haha) Like what mom always says, "It's a blessing form God that we all can become one family." And i love that sentence very much. :)
Next to friends, i would really want to thank all of them, for lending a helpful hand, understanding ears, and shoulders to cry on. Friends are siblings God forgot to give. They are wonderful people you meet out there, coming from different family background, having different types of blood, and different personalities. BUt somehow, they just turned the world special, and warm. :) I would apologize again for any bad things i've done which hurt them. Sometimes i just didnt know what i was doing. And that day, i still have to apologize again even though i have said sorry once upon a time ago.
For all the people who present on that day, i would share my testimonies and all the love and blessings that i have received from God. I have to let them know, because it's just wonderful, being a child of God. I would sing songs of praise to Him, i would glorify Him. Finally, perhaps at the end of the day, when i am ready and am still waiting for Father God to bring me, i will seek for His forgiveness again. Although i have done that before, at that moment, i just want to ask for His forgiveness again, for alllll the bad things i've done throughout my life. And, i want to sing my favourite song 生之颂 with my eyes closed, and sleep until God wakes me up.
Aah, i've planned everything! I didn't even know! LOL! And lastly, i hope, i wont be asking furiously or sadly "WHY?" "WHY ME?" on that day. :) Once in a while, it's good to ponder upon question like this, it will actually make you appreciate things you have. And it teaches you to see things in a different angle and a totally different perspective. Alright. That's enough sharing for today. My energy has really drained out. Need to recharge. I'm going to sleep the moment my head hits the pillow. lol. Tomorrow would be a loooong day to go. 630-730am jogging. 8-10am Softball. 1030-don't know what time: mysterious English Club meeting. 2-430pm English Development. Ah! Have to sleep now.
