amidst all the studying, i always find time to do other meaningful things. like today.
i brought my beloved grandma to the doctor's.
everytime i would dread doing this cos i always had to wake up very early on saturday mornings.
but at the end of the day i would realise it's not as dreadful as i thought it would have been.
afterall, she was the one who brought me up since young.
i couldnt be that unfilial to grumble just to bring her to see a doctor right?
compared to what she has done for me and my brother all these years,
bringing us up while both our parents worked,
this is definitely insignificant.
we used to live together, but now we dont.
we used to share one bedroom, but now we dont.
we used to walk the same roads together, now we dont.
as young teenagers, we must not forget what our elders have done for us.
we cannot neglect the fact that they've brought us up.
so everyone should do their part in showing appreciation for their elders, be it your grandparents or your parents.
my grandma is already 73-years-old this year.
but she doesnt want to admit that.
she still wants to go work.
at a factory somemore.
sigh. i dont know how to make her give up that idea.
she now lives in a rented room with my dad's ex-colleague.
and apparently she's not happy with that.
i want to live with her, but it's not within my means for such things.
i miss the good old days. why did my life turn out like this?
im not happy now, neither was i in the past.
i dont understand family love. cos i guess i never had too much of it in the first place.
even before it turned into a complicated web of relations,
i dont think i ever felt that i had a whole family before.
truly depressing, isnt it?
oh well. i resign to my fate. withered.
my lovely grandma and i<3
my best friend hates me.i did not understand why things turned out like that at first, but now i know why.
my story goes like this:
i was once a really popular girl, and i had alot of friends.
yet, i didn't know how to cherish them. i often neglected them.
there was this one friend i had; she was really a nice girl.
she often talks to me and comforts me when i was not in the best of mood.
she cheered me up with all sorts of ways she could think of,
and was always there for me when i really needed company.
despite the best-friend treatment she gave me, i did not cherish her friendship.
i was often distracted when im with her, by the guys passing around us and my phone.
i usually don't talk much to her because she's always the one talking.
actually, i found her very noisy and chatty. it was rather irritating.
so i started being cold to her. i gave one-word-replies to her messages and questions.
i would go out with other people instead of her,
since im so popular and everyone comes and asks me out.
i never asked anyone out before; it's always them asking me out.
as the exams period drew near, more and more people stopped asking me out.
i began to feel bored staying at home all day.
so i decided to ask that friend that i have kept in cold storage out.
so throughout the exam period she was the one accompanying me all the time,
studying, eating and shopping when i wanted to.
at first i was really relieved to have her to accompany me.
but then my dislike for her grew again, and i started being cold towards her once more.
one day, in the school courtyard, she came to look for me. she said,
" Eh, you think you very popular isit? Don't think i don't know, you only ask me out when you have nobody to go out with! And when i'm with you, you don't talk. You either look at guys or sms all the time. Sometimes i don't even know if you're listening to me. Now i tell you, I'M SICK OF IT! I treat you as a friend, but you take me as what? A tool?! And not only i think of you as his, almost everyone else also! You give some other people special treatment, like always buy things for them and treat them nicely. Then to me and some unfortunate others, you get angry at us easily for small little things we do like joking with you. You hardly buy as anything, and we buy stuff for you when the things remind us of you! So much for being friends, friend."
And she walked away.
subsequently there were many others who came and told me the same things.
i asked them if they were in cahoots, but they told me that in the past,
they did not dare to tell me all this because they were afraid of being boycott by others.
but after seeing that friend stand up against me bravely and against all odds,
they all decided to come against me as well.
those whom i think were my "true" friends actually did not care much about me.
so much for me bring nice to them.
i realised i was alone in this world now, without any friends.
i had actually neglected the one who treated me the best.
she was always conforming with me and did things my way.
i didn't realise that all along i was carrying the princess attitude.
i really regret it. i should have taken friendship more seriously.

hey this story is not meant to be mocking at anyone!
it's just i suddenly thought of this. what if my friends all leave me?
i just realised i dont really have a very good friend/ best friend in this world.
as in, not like i dont think that they're not my best friends,
but who do take me as their best friends?
i really have no idea. ohwells.
i guess im like some wandering person whom to everyone is nothing but an ordinary friend.
haha:D
