A professor stood before his Philosophy class and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.
He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full.
The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'
Theprofessor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table andpoured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the emptyspace between the sand.
The students laughed.
'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided,
'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
'Thegolf balls are the important things - your God, family, your children,your health, your friends, and your favorite passions - things that ifeverything else was lost and only they remained, your life would stillbe full.
'The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car.
'The sand is everything else--the small stuff.
'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf ball is.
'The same goes for life.
'If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
'Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children.
'Take time to get medical checkups.
'Take your partner out to dinner.
'Play another 18.
'There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.
'Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter.
'Set your priorities.
'The rest is just sand.'
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled. 'I'm glad you asked.
'It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a cup of coffee with a friend.'

Finally, i feel like updating my blog. I actually wanted to use the new website to post but it is kinda leceh coz i need to use my laptop to do that and i am not in a mood to drag the laptop out of the drawer.
Anyway, 1 more day to the end of mid-year examination. My last paper will be Accountancy this Friday. Thank god.
OMG, I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING. I had my math paper just now. OMG. I KNOW I SUCK AT MATH BUT I WAS HOPING THAT I COULD DO THE PAPER SINCE I KINDA PAID ATTENTION TO ALL THE LESSONS AND UNDERSTOOD AND DID ALL THE ASSIGNMENTS. I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT ENOUGH. BUT WHAT THE HECK. I TRIED.
THE PAPER WAS A KILLLER. HAIZ, JUST WHEN I HOPE MATHEMATICS AND ERSIAN CAN GET ALONG. FREAKING MATH.
Econs was also today and it was kinda hard but kinda manageable. ooya, did i mention that the examiner for the math paper were LATE. THE PAPER WAS SUPPOSE TO START AT 1PM BUT IN THE END IT BEGAN AT 1.20PM. chibai. waited outside the hot and humid corridor like a MTHRFCKER. Luckily the air conditioning inside the hall was turn on and the temperature was juz nice. Not to cold. But first time in my life the examination was delayed because of the examiners. DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO GIVE OUT PAPERS ARH. GOSH MI!!!
I am so scared for the accountancy paper coz i suck at accounting. ALL THOSE LEDGER SHIT. MALAS NAK LAYAN. i kinda regret not studying much much much earlier for the mid yrs. BUT NOW IT IS JUZ TOO LATE. wateva
Anyway, before the math paper, i went to BK to eat and the food there suck cock. The burger is so salty. i thought BK was suppose to be the healthier one amongst the fast food chain. Maybe it was juz that particular outlet at WEST MALL. k la bye.

Yesterday was GP mid-year examination which i think i screwd up. Took me 15mins just to come up with the points. All the questions are so difficult to understand and if i understood any of the questions, i have no relevant points to write about. NOW i understand my people hate GP to the core.
After GP went to the canteen to finish up the poster for sports day fun-raising booth. Apparently, the school decided to have the sports day on the same day as our gp paper which ends at 11am and the freaking sports day starts at 5.15pm!! 5 freaking hours to wait sia.
So headed to GV vivo to watch 'What Happen In Vegas' with Bee Hui. Walk2 around and lunched at LJS before heading to the cinema for the 2pm show. The movie was a typical romantic comedy with a typical happy ending but it was not that bad. Funny. Then rushed back to school for the freaking Sports Day.
I thought the sports day would be really boring and shitty, but suprise2 IT WAS FABULOUS minus the hot sun. The crowd were so 'on'. LOL. even though my house(sapphire) got 3rd place overall, it was not that bad. Cheering is absolutely FUN as always. LOL. And the houses chearleading team were fabulous. It is so high-school. I feel like joining the cheerleading team next year.right! HAHA. The last race was 600m relay between MI, IJC and CJC. MI won sia. suprise? Reached home around 9.45pm. A very very tirind day.
AT LAST A PLUS SIZE MODEL WON ANTM!!! AND PARV DID NOT DESERVE TO WIN, AMANDA DESERVE IT MORE. WILHELMINA IS SUCH A SLUT. CHRISTINA YANG AND BETTY NEED TO GET OVER THEMSELVES. FINALLY, WHY?!?!?! MUST DEAN DIE. SAD SAD SAD.
