Thursday. 12 April 2007.

hello centralthree (: haha. long time no post aye =P tssst. haha. anyway nice post Jae (:! haha. hope y'all are having a great and awesome week. im like study-breaking now (whatever you call it). so well my week's been relatively tiring but yet fun. super slack this week man. all the sec threes in my school have one week of no lessons at all. YAYY!!! haha. okay kidding :D oh well you know why? cause we all had OBS and i just got back like at 3 today. woah. OBS super tiring especially yesterday. we had to kayak for 7 hours and the total distance was 20km. super tiring. plus we still had to cook our own dinner and pitch our tents before the night came. woah. it was really very tiring. but yet fun (: i just think OBS is a really good experience. should at least go once :D haha. woah i feel like moving around in a boat now! URGH. what the heck mann. ): oh well.

so today was like the last day of OBS. quite slack today =P just loads of admin and clearing up and last words from instructors to teams. but well (this applied to all the watches. watches are what we usually "groups" in OBS. haha. cool huh?) my instructor told us this story nearing the end of the camp.

and this is how it goes! (: but i promise you its not one of those lame stories or one of those "this is a story that never ends...this is a story that never ends.." PROMISE! haha okay sorry im being super random. AIYA! heck ah. :D

so anyway this is how the story goes.

one day, a daughter felt really lost in her life. she went up to her mum, and said "mum, i feel really lost in my life; what should i do now?"
and mum says? "come over, dear."
so at this point of time, the mum brought her dear own daughter over into the kitchen. she was cooking food. and meanwhile, she told her daughter this story. this story was meant to be something for the daughter to think about, in the hope that as she pondered deeply over it, she'd find an answer to her qurries.

seems kinda weird doesn't it :D how does cooking, and.. feeling lost in life even RELATE right :D but you'll see. its really really cool (:

so anyway the mum was boiling a pot of water. and in it, she put a carrot, some coffee powder and an egg. and mixed everything together. so imagine a pot of boiling water turning brown because of the coffee, with a carrot and egg inside. *ewwwwww* haha that was like my first though and reaction. tsssssst. haha.
ANYWAY!

so well i kinda forgot if the mum said anything else after this. but this is the intepretion. (:

when we put coffee into boiling water, it becomes dissolved coffee. when we put a carrot into boiling water, it turns from hard to soft. when we put an egg into a pot of boiling water, it becomes a hard boiled egg, hard on both the inside and on the outside.

the boiling water represents every challenge we go through in life.

when we put carrot into boiling water it turns soft.

different people are created differently, and have different preferences and personalities. some of us, are like carrots. when we are faced with the challenges in our lives, just like when a carrot is placed into boiling water, some of us will give up, stop pressing on, and break down after a certain point of time. and that way, we won't really get anyway in life, will we? not as far as others can get to, i guess. i feel that way. i have to admit, i'm that sort of person if a challenge just turns out to be hard and it feels like i can't go on anymore, and it feels like im the only one in it all. but we've got Christ amen? (:

i forgot how coffee is intepreted. ): ): sorry ): ):

oh well. this is how egg is intepreted.
some of us, are like an egg. after puting the egg into boiling water, it becomes a hard boiled egg. hard, from the inside out. some people, when faced with challenges, with just pressing on and pression on until the end no matter what. sometimes they feel like giving up, but then they'll pick up, and never give up, and give pressing on once again. (:

before such challenges, we are hard on the outside, but definitely, not as hard when we refer ourselves to our character. after going through such characters, we are hard on the outside, and are now harder when refered to our inner character as well. we don't give up. we reach for the end and keep pushing on. (:

so which are you, excluding the coffee?

carrot, or egg?

do you press on and press on in times of challenges, or do you just let go and give up?

guess thats something that takes quite some time to ponder over aye? (:





anyway back to homework i go ): and i feel like im moving in a kayak all over the place and its seriously, ANNOYING! URGH! haha. cya (: have a great week (till saturday, that is).

Alisa. (:
