Annnnnd it is gone.

Yesterday, in a mad fit of anger (at being forced to sleep outside my bedroom at 5am in the morning, and in general, at the haze and my pathetic attempt at the Math mock paper), I logged onto Blogger and for probably the first time, showed a side of me online.

The thing about posting things in anger is that, usually, it it the process of writing the contents which matter more, than the actual act of posting them online. Personally, I think this is something like.. say beating someone up, strangling someone up in your head or hatching up some revenge plots that makes you feel better at the end of the day. Definitely it is not the actual commiting of those acts which is gona relieve you of your anger, right? (I hope.)

But yeah. I posted it up yesterday, and after a day of stewing in my anger, I felt better and I have now removed it. I can also honestly say that a fear of bad karma is probably a factor in my decision. Haha. Which reminds me of what I once wrote a long time ago, back when my blog resides at Friendster.

I had read an article then, and the article said that, writing something down actually makes you have a stronger memory of what you are writing down, so if you are making a shopping list and stuff, it is okay. But I think what the article was trying to tell us was that, if you are writing stuff down your diary, say what has upset you for the day etc, you may end up remembering that unhappy incident, even if you know, people typically write down such things to make themselves get it out of their systems.

It makes sense to me actually. So I think post mortems of upsetting situations are more beneficial than you know, the actual blow-by-blow kind of reporting of the situation, if you get my drift about the content of the posts.

Okay, so it is yet another hot and hazy day, yet another day of full- hearted procrastination and half-hearted studying =)

Celebrated Children's Day with a lollipop !!

Hey teach, thanks ah!! =) It was really sweet of ya to have remembered, hehheh, though I am sure our nagging helped. Haha..

How did the lollipop come about?

Well, a long time ago, there was this sweet maker who saw a kid eating a boiled sweet and licking it, getting his hands all sticky. And the sweet-maker wondered, isnt it possible to make it easier for a kid to have his boiled sweet , and lick it too? Then his eyes fell upon another kid nearby whos was eating a fried fish skewered on a stick. And.. the lollipop is borned!!

Haha, I can't exactly remember what was the food he saw that gave him the idea,but this was the gist of what I once read.

I was having images of paved sidewalks in little towns, maybe somewhere like Spain, with warm sunlight lighting up all the alleys lined with buildings of olive shades and marble slabs. And somewhere down this quiet side alley full of confectionary and sweets shops where every imaginable kind of sugar based food can be found, lived this nice, portly sweet old man in a shophouse with beautifully stained windows who makes boiled sweets of all possible shades and swirls, and has a ready smile for all his customers.

Think he could be Santa in disguise?

Happy Children's Day everyone =)
