A Colourful Life of Colourful People

i'd like to share a poem that shixiong shared with us this morning..
"When you mother has grown older,
When her dear, faithful eyes
no longer see life as they once did
When her feet, grown tired,
No longer want to carry her as she walks -

Then lend her your arm in support,
Escort her with happy pleasure.
The hour will come when, weeping, you
Must accompany her on her final walk.

And if she asks you something,
Then give her an answer.
And if she asks again, then speak!
And if she asks yet again, respond to her,
Not impatiently, but with gentle calm.

And if she cannot understand you properly
Explain all to her happily.
The hour will come, the bitter hour,
When her mouth asks for nothing more.

Can you actually believe who wrote this?
--He likes to wear green..
--Has a moustache
--Dead...
and i forgot the others, but he is none other than ADOLF HITLER, but upon reading the poem, we described him as "patient", "fillial" and others...and he actually turned out to be the man who distorted the sign that represents peace and love into the swastika, who killed the thousands and millions jews...so shocking to hear that this guy wrote such a poem..and it made me reflect about my rudeness to my parents...wahhhhhhhhhh
and we talked about the story about the Anguilimala and focused a little on seeing people from their good perspective, not always only picking on their faults, etc etc..
Yesterday had a nice conversation with Mr lee, Mr Victor lee, not lee han bao la! as well as jh as figuring some code-encryption thingy.at sbmy, denise turned out *heng heng* and yongting did too! but in the end denise and i pang seh yongting for we had to leave for our respective tuitions. however, when i left, there was only about 15to 20 people at SBMY...awww..kind of tired, slept at 2 yesterday..just now after sbmy while waiting for a bus, a little kid and his father were waiting for a bus to Toapayoh, and they missed the bus. The bus comes every ten or fifteen minutes that he became so frustrated he started crying...and i think i woke cecelia up with the phoen call..wahahah...just talked to kuolyn on the phone, and it will continue later, she's obsessed with Naruto la...i seriously think my grades are deproving...need to mug more. yepps. i walked into 7-11 yearning for a nice cup of slurpee, but the cup ran out and the shuai but sissy guy asked me to use the big gulp cup instead...=.=told kuolyn and she whimpered..such a waste...awwww..an di am left with one pathetic sms for today, and kuolyn says i can't survive. i'll prove to you i can! just came back from tuition and it was amusing, about how mr hogan actually baked a lizard along with his bread and exploding a lizard in the microwave unintentionally. ewww..as disgusting as him. while learning, loads of jokes were cracked. particularly about soy bean milk and how faustin hogen needs green tea to complete the process. Shermaine obviously doesn't know the meaning of the two and i had to tell her as she bursts out in laughter..i have this feeling i have to edit a 5k word report for somebody...
*WHERE'S THE WALL* seriously i love kuolyn. and i don't understand why the hell, last year did i dislike her so much..ya la..she's changed...into one whom i love! *sniggers* i am crapping..
shall stop here...very tired...falling asleep...

I had a real good time @ 2:11 PM
