Fiona Ho on Marriage

I think we have the quote of the year today. 

"Just pick who you want and see how long it lasts"

--Ms Fiona Ho on marriage

I guess it had some deeper meaning, but she made it sound so superficial that I think we all completely missed it and went howling with laughter :) The whole lesson was a laughing session as usual :)

The cold I caught yesterday continues. Except it gets worse. The classroom was way too cold. Kept going outside. Sneezing and sneezing. Daryl and Tenn Joe thought I was crying and tried to be nice to me. Lolz. For the record I was not. I told them, and they didn't believe me.

I tried to go to sleep during A Math, because Ms Ong didn't come. I was disturbed quite a few times by some people. I find that rude. I also find it rude that people can be so noisy when its so obvious someone's trying to sleep. 

By evening I had got a terrible fever and cold. Again. Really really diabolically ill. On three different medications. Again. I could shoot myself for a careless mistake that might have cost me my life. Missed one antibiotics dose. Fell sick again. 

Thanks a million to the friends who were there for me, I don't think I would still be here if not for you :)

I made the hardest decision of my life today. I was given the opportunity to join the Science Competition Team. Unfortunately it clashed with my research schedule, in a way that could not be reconciled. So the choice is between research and competition. Since primary school, I kinda always wanted to do science quizzes stuff. 

I chose research.

I felt that I make a bigger difference at research. Its there I can create concepts and ideas that might change the world. How much can you change by winning science olympiads or quizzes? I felt that even when you win some big science quiz, people will eventually forget you. But if you research, and discover something, people will remember you forever.

That's how I want to be remembered.

You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful.
