Protection.

I feel that all my life I was very well protected. Don't everyone had really well protection from the dangerous world out there by their parents and the people who love them ?

When I was a kid, there were no worries in my life. My parents do their best to prevent me from being hurt by the treacherous world outside. I was safe and comfortable in my nest, a place called home. Food is provided constantly and love came pouring unconditionally. I never learnt about how bad people can become, how cunning they can be, all I thought is that they only exist in TV drama series.

My father is always there to look out for me, to hold my hand when I cross the road, to catch me when I fall.

But he wont always be there to catch me when I fall, right ?

Now, as a young teenager out to see the world, I need to fend for myself. Throughout the whole year, I've become more independent, less playful and whole lot more wiser.

I came to know that people may not be as simple-minded as I am. People will always be selfish, no matter in what situation. They are involved in something that only has benefit to them. They will never do something that can cause any inconvenience for them, that will waste their precious moments or money. But they are always wanting something from you, and when they get it, they don't even know what is your name.

I always believe in the saying that " buat baik berpada-pada, buat jahat jangan sesekali " But not everybody thinks like that eh ? I've heard alot of snatch thefts cases happening to my friends, been through a hell lot of dark alleys and seen too many rats in the drains that at times, I wish to go back home at Raub where I was fetched to everywhere, people accompanying me to everywhere and always knowing that somebody is waiting for me back home before they can go to sleep.

But this harsh reality is something that everyone needs to face when they grow up. It's through the bad times that people learn to become a better person, to be more cautious and never to trust anybody besides your family. I've experienced my secrets being leaked out to, people telling me lies when I've already know the truth and had my fair share on excuses that I swear I'll hit the person who gave me another excuse.

Life is beautiful =) bear with it.

Stress

I'll start off by defining stress.

Stress -

The word stress is derived from the Latin word "stringi", which means, "to be drawn tight". Stress can be defined as follows:

Definition of Stress :
In medical terms stress is described as, "a physical or psychological stimulus that can produce mental tension or physiological reactions that may lead to illness."

With trials up and about, stress is the only thing happening around me. Students studying hard for trials, stressful teachers trying to do some revision to help us, and stressful Adeline Sia who does not have any idea how to do any of the past year papers. It's like I've been too stressed out throughout the whole year, worrying about small class tests and last minute assignments that now the BIG and IMPORTANT trials doesn't seem to have any effect on me. I'm not even studying, I'm blogging WTH. I'm still procrastinating (as usual) and is not having any progression on how to do most of the questions. And then it's one month left till FINALS.

Good. No more time to study edi. Very good.
