Power of rights

It might just be this very maid of mine who's really smart in abusing her rights as a human being, she's the only one who is able to make me feel tensed and scared when she insists that she is correct. Whenever I make a remark on the lack of standards of something, she is super defensive and comes up with a non-exhaustive list of excuses for it before I can even finish talking. You know how Channel 5 has Incredible Tales? Maybe I can do a series of Incredible Maid Tales.
When I told her that her fried bee-hoon was a bit bland today even though it smelled really good, she ended up cooking a really salty fried rice for dinner, just to get back at my comment of her food being bland. Seriously. The narrow-mindedness of humans can get quite disgusting at times.

I've been studying like a mad cow from day to night these days, feeling the stress of how much, or rather, little time there is left till Lit on next Thurs. Who has exams before the end of holidays? School's already cheated us of our holiday, now they want to rob that 2 days from us.
It's ok. Dongggggggggggggggg! Like how we hang on for dear life when we are at the crux of a really hard move. Flash it if you can't onsight it; red-point it if you can't flash it.

Still haven't perished under the North Korea regime of studying I've placed myself under during this holiday.
Eat, sleep, take frequent breaks are the keys to dealing with stress. Friends, don't crumble even before JCTs! Look towards A levels, that's the real end point.
Even if JCT results suck, Prelims results suck, you know what?
Everything doesn't matter when the As on A levels result slip erase all the past blemishes.

Just a little thought...
I've been reading blogs of many unhappy/sad/depressive incidents that have happened over the holidays. No matter how sad you might be feeling, or that life isn't the best at all right now, just be happy because it makes the whole process so much easier to endure. Beating yourself up with things not within your control wouldn't make anything any better. When you are sad, the negative energy just spills over to the rest. When you're happy, you're subconsciously making the people around you happier as well. Give it a little thought, would you prefer hanging out with a depressive friend or a happy friend? If you chose the latter, start with being happy yourself, because that will automatically make others happy. It's infectious.
It's so much easier to fall into the drips and drapes, i know. But at least try. Do something about it, rather than complain about the obstacles in life because that would change nothing except make everything worse off for yourself.
Start with little achievable goals because these are all just part and parcel of the beautiful thing called life. It is with hardships that we learn to appreciate the good stuffs.
