1. Inclined to investigate; eager for knowledge.
2. Unduly curious and inquiring.
(www.dictonary.com)
according to the dictionary, inquisitive is a positive word. therefore, being inquisitive is probably a good thing, something to be proud of. to pursue a knowledge, to speak up when you do not comprehend. isn't this something our teachers have been trying to instil in us all the way from primary school up till university? words like "blur", "naive" and "stupid"...should they be used to describe one who is probably more inquisitive than any of the above 3? how many out there, is truly unafraid of asking why, what and how?
absolute silence.i need that in order to sleep. yet i could nto have that, and for the entire 2 little hours of nap i took, i did not have a moment's peace. first, the neighbour's youngest practics piano and with its halting rhythm, it is opposite of soothing. next, the stupid dog(belonging to said neighbour) couldn't stop barking at god knows what. then its owner decides to TALK to it. and using her very irritating and loud voice, in the most nauseating tone she can summon, she managed to talk gibberish to the dog for at least 10 minutes. following that, the dog was silent. for a grand total of 2 minutes. it began to bark again, different from the incessant barking from before. bark. silence. just when you thought it's finally going to rest, bark. silence. bark. silence....WHY??? ARGH!!!
heart attack.i saw an elderly man, probably in his 60s, obese and having a meal at canteen 1. i hope he was having a very late lunch or very early dinner, rather than jsut a snack. he was breathing heavily and gobbling down his food. from where i sit, i could see him consume something which looks like a pork or beef steak (along with the usual things like potato and a little salad). following that, he polished off an extra helping of fries(more like a heap of fries on anoher plate). after that, he had dessert. as i watched, i couldn't help feeling worried for him. truly, i fear for his health, especially if this unhealthy food choices is a daily pattern rather than a simple binge.
canvassing.did canvassing last sun, at marina south. thankfully, i have the company of janice and alvin tan. it was dreadfully hot and we had to roam the grounds of the national day fair(i duno whats the proper name of the fair) from about 10am till 5pm. we really almost died. the heat was enough to kill our appetite for lunch(not that there was any time allowance for lunch la) and all we wanted was drinks and fruit ice! our job was to go around selling the limited edition wrist band in order to raise funds for the women's team who will be scaling mt. everest in 2008. of coz there were a couple of cute guys around, and most of them are the army guys who were there on guard duty or in information counters. i enede up with heat stroke after that and managed to consume a whole pack of soya bean by myself. and though i was dead beat, i couldn't sleep at night and ended up feeling like shit the next day, meaning i skipped my pe class. sorry to jaze...dun mean to bang seh.
national day.went to hj's house to visit lexus and to meet up with my platoon-mates..somehow feels like a long time since i last saw them.and it was at least 2 years since i went to hj's house!omg..is it that long ago?anyway, as usual ple left early, and came very late..it is something you must get used to i guess. no point feeling shitty about it anymore. and i want to specially mention ms peiyu. coz she did not abandon us halfway(us, being all the singletons in the plt).anyway, we train up on our bridge and daidi skills, and omg i just love hj's mom. she made fish fingers with mash potato for us. it was heaven on earth man. such a nice gesture, and she send it up to us lo. though the turnout was not as good as it once was( i.e. 2 years ago), it was still enjoyable i guess. all the suaning and jokes..makes u wonder how long it will last. anyway we have made a date to go shopping and eating the next day..hope i can get some cheap stuff, and maybe source for something for dnd..
