Dinah
Yes, today Mr Lee was asking selecting people to go for the
speech day, and i admit that i was in a hysterical state when my no was called. i did screamed, and i thk that shocked him, of cos the rest of my classmates. i certainly didnt mean it, but i was an utter disappointment. nevertheless, the selection system altered, and the july and february babies were asked to attend the speech day instead. the focus is not yet mentioned. it's illy dinah. she's a very special person, and i do admire her for willingness to sacrifice. i was upset initially because i didnt want to spend my time like that, i wanted to use the time wisely to study, do revision, catch up with my work. no, she wasn't july nor february baby, she volunteered to go, simply because her good friend aisha is going. she decided that she will give up the precious time to accompany her friend, to ease her lonliness. i was ashamed when i heard this from her. ashamed, becos her generosity made me feel that im selfish. ashamed, becos her thoughtfulness made me feel that im unkind. ashamed, becos her willingness made me feel like im rubbish. yes, today has been an enlightening day, how far a friend will go, just to make u feel appreciated. im happy for her that she found a friend whom she appreciates, and at the same time, appreciates her. i look up to her. and i just finished a book called, Shakeress. very satisfying read, and i teared, not becos of the plot, but due to the revealation i gained. very satisfying. it's been a while since i do some reflection on myself, yes, i m a reflective person, maybe thats what u thought as emo. i've learnt something today, i hope this incident will be a constant reminder to me, to be kind and thoughtful, willing and generous. |
