Time check: 4.40 am now. Yeah and wondering why am I not asleep? Because of my damn IS project. So out of the 20 people we were suppossed to get, we now have about 12. What makes it disappointing is that I have 2 members in my grp who currently have 0 people and they say it will remain that way. Why? Because their mind tells them that since our whole grp might not hit 20 people and we gonna have to redo it, why work so hard now to get "close to 20" people.
Now now, see, this is a mentality and attitude problem. Sometimes, people get successful for 2 reasons, Luck and attitude. 1 can be controlled, 1 cant. And I guess both of them arent people made for success. The number 1 mistake would be giving up hope when yours truly here is trying v v hard to get people and even to some extent sponsering people some part of the cost for them to come to the event. So if we fail, the number 1 guy whom they disappoint and let down is ME! So I get the people to come, even more than the 4 Im expected to, pay $ for them to come, and I have to redo the whole project?!?! No visible effort seems to be present. I mean dont tell me you cant even get 1 guy to come? Oh man lets evaluate if those around you are called friends. And my mum doesnt drink but she still comes down to support me! So dont give the excuse of "my parents dont drink". Now I know who are the ones destined to succeed and those who will be living average lives unless $ falls from the sky.
Yeah so this is what keeps me damn stressed and thus sleepness at this moment in time, when I guess they are in their "winter wonderland". Lucky for me I dont have people like them in my Year 3 project because I get to choose my OWN group members! Sometimes I just hate working with these dumb and useless people. I only appreciate effort, nothing else. Call me a half-elitist if you like, but Im sure anyone else will blow if in my current position.
So unhappy and dumb people aside, lets talk about my outing ystd.
Fixed my plane like finally and all worked well. Then play pool with jow, joel and mel tan at Mambo. Proceeded to PS to watch Bolt with joel and mel tan. Well Bolt was CUTE for a dog and I was appalled by the animation. The hamster was funny too, with 1 sentence I remembering clearly, "I eat danger for breakfast!!"LOL.
And since I was carrying my plane ystd to the movies, I was afraid I might not make it back so early since I would hv difficulties carrying it into the packed train during peak hours. So I just did a short prayer in my mind and said with a little tinge or urgency "God, come-on I wanna go home but I just cant squeeze into the train because its too crowded so I need a less crowded train ASAP, Amen" And guess what! After this super packed train left the platform, another train came in the matter of seconds. And there were only 4-5 people standing! So basically it was quite an empty train and it remained that way all the way to Toa Payoh. Mum was like "wah empty train at around 6 plus going to 7, somemore at Dhoby Ghaut?" So see, God does listen to our prayers! Thank You Lord,my Saviour!
As for today, mum, bro and I did some spring cleaning of my cupboards and wardrobes. Also, I opened my 3 money containers and there was a total of 1000 bucks! But of course majority goes to banking it in and I only took 250 out. Yeah so a little extra cash to sponser some ppl for my event........
Tried flying my plane at the nearby grass patch at ard 6pm and guess what, the propellor shot out! There was a failed attempt to get it to fly and the whole nose just hit the ground, fortunately not from such a high height. So I had to replace screws, fix the gears and stuff the whole turing shaft into the motor.
Oh and I think Im starting to get a little tired now so better get back to sleep while I can. =)
