Meh, today was such a boring day. I was not able to function normally until 3.30 because I woke at 1.00 and ate lunch and had splitting headache and was eventually forced to eat 2 tablets of extra strong panadol because going for taekwondo with splitting headaches is not advisable.
I wonder if one can develop resistance to panadol. My mother says yes, but zongbin says no, because her brother, who is in medicine, says no. There are very confusing advices floating around on Earth in our society about various kinds of things.
Okay never mind I close this topic because I just asked my mother again and she denies ever saying that. She then diverted the topic to how I should stop drinking cold drinks because apparently they induce menstrual cramps. I asked around once, and no one has even heard of this relationship. This is very strange. She also attributes tea to cramps. And citrus fruits and pears and pineapples to heavy flow. My mother has very interesting knowledge on this sort of things.

Taekwondo is entering a very critical period. I wonder if I'll ever rightfully own a black belt. It is so very expensive and time consuming. And then there's the feeling that I can't be very good at it, but still, the feeling is not strong enough to prompt action. Hmm. The dilemna of being a lazy person who doesn't need to meet expectations but becomes mildly unsatisfied with life, or a person who actively pursues what they want, but goes through so much trials and tribulations that it hurts my head and heart to even think about it. But we all have to admit that these people are the ones that acheive the most, and becomes the envy of many others.
If laziness is a terrible trait because it makes you leech off other people, what about people who are lazy, but still make enough out of life to support themselves? Why do people despise those who do not, as they say, pursue what they want to the maximum. It is very curious, I feel. If they complain about their plight, then to despise them is probably understandable, because they mostly blame their plight on other people. But then if they lead their lives quietly, do they still suffer the criticism of other people? I read somewhere, that everything that irritates us about other people is what you fear in yourself the most. Maybe those who criticise fear precisely this trait in them, the lax and laziness.
Thus, by condeming other people, they leave themselves no choice but to never be in that position.

Cutting my hair and trimming my nails make me feel like I am going through a very big change. I have no idea why. I like funny hairdressers. They are very entertaining people. And I also like hairdressers who try not to breathe onto your hair or your head or your face.
