so during assembly yesterday the councillor reads out the announcements as per usual and asks us to please bring whatever old clothes, books and toys we have for the children in cambodia. and yifang comments, 'so we give them what we don't want, and what does that make them?' strange. i never thought of it that way. and she's right, it really made me think - would you go the extra mile to help someone? when it inconveniences you? when it costs you?

cos, in this world, its a dog eat dog world right? you gotta be lookin out for yourself first right? what if an orphan were to ask you for your favourite toy? would you part with it - what right does she have to ask it of you - right? she just takes what you give her - right?

give out of love, people, not out of convenience.

went to school late today because i crashed right after i got home yesterday and didn't wake till nine. and why? my phone kept going off. i can't stay away from school for a few hours without my phone going off like it's been possessed.

after school was almost faced with the task of collecting tables for the whole ELDDS [english lit debate drama society] and almost freaked out. thankfully by the time i got to the hall, the debaters and college publication people were there doing things. got introduced to the other ELDDS heads. the funny thing about ELDDS people is that the way they speak, the way they act - it's so different. it's weird, but it's an amusing sort of weird and everyone accepts each other's weirdness. 'oh, so this is mel. hi mel.', said two guys i've never spoken to in my life, like they were welcoming a new extended family member.

openday's tomorrow. i'm trying not to stress so much. things will just unfold tomorrow, naturally, and God will look after me. i've baked the cookies and iced them with some help and i don't think i'll be baking for quite some time, folks. baking 200 odd cookies is quite nightmarish. the costumes, are somewhat settled. the makeup, i'm getting help. it's ironic that most of my non-drama friends are the ones helping me the most for tomorrow - getting costumes, make up, stuff. it's okay, no big deal, take a chill pill mel. it made my day when bea told me melvin told her he appreciated me and i managed to revive drama.

that guy has no idea, really. but oh well, gave me the warm fuzzies for a while.
