Blog Post #9

Sorry guys, I haven't updated for so long.(does anyone even read this blog?) But anyway, I'm having a crisis at home. My grandma has colon cancer and my grandpa has lung infection. Yes they are a couple. My grandpa's fine now but my grandma's situation is just deteriorating. Somewhere along the way, she contracted lung infection too. Much more serious than my grandpa's. They had to send her to ICU, give her an oxygen mask and when that fails, poke a tube right onto her chest, an oxygen tube. My mum is busy because she had to care for my grandma and I'm busy cause I have to care for home housework etc. And not to mention school work. Stress is one thing. Being emotionally affected is another. For one thing, I have never actually experience death all my life. Well I did when I was 7, I went to my first funeral,my great grandmother's, which is the mother of my sick grandmother. But then again, I didn't knew her well, only visited her once in her life (or my life). To add on, she's the only grandma I ever knew, my paternal grandma passed on before I was born. Hardly ever having an encounter with death, let alone cancer, I didn't know what to expect. But well, maybe I will elaborate on this in another blog post if I feel like it. Just wanna let you all know what my life is like now.

But well today we had bcl (beyond classroom learning) in school on the MBTI personality test. Go check it out. My personality is Introvert iNtuition Thinking Judging. I always thought I was feeling kind of person not a thinking one. But do go try it out, I heard its pretty accurate.

Then for the second half of the day, we tried out the 5 love languages test. Here's the link.

Which I found quite interesting because we are now learning about the way we show love and our preferred method of receiving love. My highest to lowest was quality time, physical touch, words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts. So yup, go try it out too.

Today I got a windfall. Or what I consider a windfall. I collected 18 pieces of black paper from the class recycling bin!!! How could anyone even want to recycle black paper? Black paper is like the best paper ever to make cards (at least to me). Its like gold to me. But anyway, it made me damn happy to be able to have these black paper. For free some more.

And recently, I have been crocheting hearts for Valentine's Day. To give to my class and some friends. I mean for the past two years in a girls school, we celebrate a totally different Valentine's Day. We give each other chocolates, notes, folded hearts, sweets, cards etc. And the thing here is its given to everyone. No one is excluded. Its like if you are in a mixed school, people will give only to the opposite gender whom they are crushing on. Then there will be people who feel excluded because they didnt receive anything. But here in our school, everyone gets something. Which I thought was really nice because it makes everyone feel loved. :D

Haha and that's the end of my blog post. At least I end it on a high note. :)
