She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil, without saying a word.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me what you see." Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked, "What does it mean, mother?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity... boiling water. Each reacted differently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which are you?" she asked her daughter. "When adversity knocks on our door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think of this: Which am I?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May we all be COFFEE.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32407436-2837800674014821144?l=stripedstars.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stripedstars.blogspot.com/feeds/2837800674014821144/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32407436&amp;postID=2837800674014821144' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32407436/posts/default/2837800674014821144'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32407436/posts/default/2837800674014821144'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stripedstars.blogspot.com/2007/06/carrot-egg-and-cup-of-coffee.html' title=''/><author><name>siang</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16356070782058282916</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32407436.post-604548589334957750</id><published>2007-06-15T18:11:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-06-15T18:19:55.163+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>I'm literally talking to myself.

I was walking to the staffroom to see if I could obtain Ms Teo's and Mrs Heng's contact number when Marky walked my way. She asked me about my absence during the Principle's talk last wednesday. To be honest, I lied to her, but I'm not apologetic bcos the talk is all about achieving quality grades and whatnots AGAIN! I pulled a long face while she rambled on and on about the seriousness of this issue. Finally she said "We'll go see Mr Kwek now." So I was like, okay fine whatever.&lt;br /&gt;I'd love to think that Mr Kwek is being magnanimous since he didn't pursue the reason for my absence. However, he explained that he was busy dealing with the demise of an important committee member, so his mind was probably occupied with that issue instead of a minor case like me. After looking through the name list, he explained to me his rationale for picking out these students blah blah blah, that they're just trying to help us and not reprimand us blah blah blah. I got emotional, and broke down. Marky comforted me by patting her hand on my shoulder but I shrugged it off and shuffled towards the chair.  Mr.K tried to comfort me and add humor into the conversation, which made me felt better.&lt;br /&gt;I told Marky that I didn't wanna talk about the issue anymore, but she insisted on 'helping' me. Of all places, she choose to sit me down by the Ebloussoint (or however you spell it). It was fucking embarassing, I hung my head low while she spoke to me. Frankly, I didn't want to tell her anything at all; I never told anyone about my inner most feelings anyway, so she's not an exception. She left me alone only after we stepped out of the washroom. Sigh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gossiped quite abit with Faith during our long break today. Now I do realise that why L&amp;L are so compatible. HAHA. I'm glad I don't have to see L's true colours for myself since Faith already exposed her real identity. What a bitch. L isn't any better than his girl anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The physics tutor whom my mom found in the ST ad has a terrible BO and bad breath. Seriously, I could hardly breathe. After a torturous one &amp; a half hours lesson, I told him that that was it for the day. HE ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO CONTINUE FOR ANOTHER 30mins (his rate is $45/hr), I totally rejected the idea(+ rolls eyes). Hopefully he'll stock up on deodorant and at least toothpaste+toothebrush or not Listerine with his $68. Didn't his parents teach him the importance of hygiene?

Buying booze and nicotine is as easy as 1-2-3.

Than again (or is it then?), nobody would pay much attention to my insignificant rantings.&lt;br /&gt;I'm here because I'd love to express the exhilaration that my body is going through since block tests are officially O-V-E-R!!! During both the physics &amp; geography paper, I could not help but laugh silently to myself. Constant reminders about perservering through those last few minutes while trying to concentrate on my essay at the same time was tough. Finally, when the digital clock said 14:58, endorphins started rushing through my body. Even though I'd love to scream at the top of my lungs and jump up-&amp;-down on my chair, I had to contain these emotions or people will start giving me weird stares. To be honest, I wasn't very prepared for the geography test. In fact, I think I might fare even better for Physics, which is my non-niche subject. Hmm, come to think of it, when did I even excelled in a subject since I entered JC? =/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Positive thinking really got me going. I'm satisfied with the way life is now, even with the workload in school, pressure from nagggggy teachers/principal and hectic training schedules. OOOOOOOOOO! Our grouping results are : AJ, IJ, RJ &amp; SA. A 50-50 chance to get us into the next round. Gotta pull up my socks (even though they only reach up to my ankles). Hopefully the camp on this coming Friday would get us all bonded together like hmm..ionic bonds? Covalent bonds? Ahhhh! I think I've lost my sense of humour with all that mugging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gosh, I miss so many people!!! Especially the one in Netherlands.&lt;br /&gt;Okay, about a few days ago, I found out that actually, I'm related to Ah Cheng. We're long distance relatives cos we share the same grand aunt.

PLUS, 3 tests next week, physics(shit), maths &amp; econs. Meanwhile, I'm still comtemplating to score or not to score for econs. Scoring would relieve me the days of extra remedials.

I MISTOOK TAH YUEN FOR TAK KHIAN. Actually, I couldn't recall him name and his and TK's name were rather similar, hence the mistake. I must say, he looks better now, but my EC's still the best.

I almost major in psychology. Rarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I should and I'm going to!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aww man, I wanted to attempt the D.C circuits tutorial questions BUT I realized that it's related to Current of Electricity - I skipped the post-promo lecture. Oppsie, and now, I'll have to look at it myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stayed out the whole of last night with Win &amp;amp; Rach whom I haven't seen since the MOS party last year. Rach's boy was there as well. They are arcade fanatics, seriously. Omgsxz, they never get sick of playing, do they? And Darryl or however you spell his name is loaded. Counting the number of games they played, plus putting extra credit when their character died, would amount up to $100+++? Me and Win were like babysitters bringing out 2 kids to 'Wonderland'. Did I mention that they were so immersed in the grab-the-softoy-thingamagic? Those 2 are crazy, 'picked up' about more than a dozen softoys. Oh well, people in love just do that, don't they? When Win told me about B's brother, C who is J's bf. I was in a state of shock for awhile cos B used to be my close sister and I know J. It's a small world afterallllllllllll.&lt;br /&gt;The most fantastically-fab thing that happened was, I spotted a shooting star! :D Tried pointing it out to Win, but before she could locate it, the last traces of its shine faded into the vast blackness. Made wish&lt;u&gt;es&lt;/u&gt; (: yay. It'll be quite some time before we'll see each other again I'd guess. Praying that the God-of-the-Gods above would shower them with blessings.&lt;br /&gt;Dead beat.

(:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night was a blast! Another event to add to the collection of memorable days of 2006. Family gatherings are never dull. In fact, they bring my spirits up, totally. Before that, I was helping mom at home, making Ondeh Ondeh. Although I was reprimanded for a couple of times, they turned out to be quite good. It's not the usual green colour bcos the juices of the pandan leaves wouldn't blend in with the sweet potato. But orange is quite cool as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="166" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/621/249/320/811072/Image002.jpg" width="263" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Back at 3rd aunt's house, I was seriously going crazy with all that laughing. By the time we left for home sweet home, I think I earned myself some abs. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Looked through my mail and received one from Miss Ho. Even though I'm not the best econs student that she had, she's an A* teacher to me. Some of the things she wrote :"Remember: Give yourself the best by thinking well of yourself. I'm not asking you to be an egoistic pig but I'm telling you not to ever think that you cannot ever achieve good stuff. All of you are made up of good stuff, it's up to you whether you want to believe it or not. " and this "Homework can wait or rather... ahem... you know... find some ways to make it vanish? Take time to be thankful for the blessings you have received in 2006 and also, take time to appreciate your family. All these are definitely more important than rushing to finish your homework." Totally agree with the last sentence.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hi school, we'll meet again in 2 days time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;x.Love&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32407436-116763285588231749?l=stripedstars.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stripedstars.blogspot.com/feeds/116763285588231749/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32407436&amp;postID=116763285588231749' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32407436/posts/default/116763285588231749'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32407436/posts/default/116763285588231749'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stripedstars.blogspot.com/2007/01/hello-2007-welcome-to-earth-last-night.html' title=''/><author><name>siang</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16356070782058282916</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32407436.post-116749270485925571</id><published>2006-12-31T15:31:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-31T01:12:53.963+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>I had a haircut today.
