shotgun opera.

here's something interesting i got off TPJC link.

this is a story about the carrot, an egg and some coffee beans.

put three pots of water over a fire. in the first pot, put in the carrot. in the second pot, put in the egg. in the third pot, putt in the coffee bean that has been grounded into coffee powder. boil the water in the three pots for 15 minutets.

then take out what you had put in. the carrots went in hard. they are now soft. the eggs went in soft inside. they are now hard inside. the coffee powder has disappeared. but the water has the colour and smell of coffee.

now think about life. life is not always easy. life is not always comfortable. sometimes life is just very difficult. things do not happen as we wish. people do not treat us as we hope. we work very hard but we get few results. what happens when we face difficulties?

now think about the pots. the boiling water is like the problems of life. we can be like carrots. we go in tough and strong. we come out soft and weak. we become very tired. we lose all hope. we give up! don't be like the carrot.

we can be like the eggs. we start off with a soft and sensitive heart. we end up hard and unfeeling. we hate others. we do not like ourselves. we become hard hearted. there is no warm feeling - only bitterness. do not be like the eggs!

we can be like the coffee beans. the boiling water does not change the coffee powder. the coffee powder changes the water. the water has become better because of the coffee powder. see it, smell it, taste it. the hotter the water, the better it tastes. we can be like the coffee beans. we can make something good from the problems we face. we make the world around us a better place.

do you want to be like the carrot, the egg or the coffee bean? you have a choice!

i think the writer of the story forgot one thing. the coffee beans has to be ground into powder first,right? so it means we gotta be hit by the troubles in life so bad before anything good can be made good out of it? the problem is, sometimes the hard knocks in life are just too hard to take.

results aren't fantastic but i'm in lesser danger of being retained. can promote, i think, but cannot keep 4 h2. depressing. especially bio. bio always makes me miserable. it didn't fail to do so today. especially when i was like, near the bottom of the cohort. sighxzx.

i wanna cheer for Erica though, she got an A (: (don't let this inflate your already inflated head :D) and for cherylanne too! she passed quite well i think (: farha that smart slacker, got a damn B for chem wtf. hahaha. i've nice and smart friends uh. haha

i'm a cross between the carrot and egg, i think. but i don't hate others, that's for sure.
