- ARGH!!
... I wrote a long and niceeee post, then my DARLING, CUTE, LOVELY poodle Fifi bit the computer plug out. GAH!
Nvm. Patience, girl ...... I'll rewrite it. A simplified version if I can help it. =(

Anyway, I did stay over at my friend's place. In fact, I just go home two hours ago. And it was F-U-N ... (it usually IS fun hanging out with friends. lolz)
Asides from all the chatter and gossip, for once, some of us had pretty intense discussions. Which was what I needed. Stupid anxiety attacts. =/ And of course, my dear friends were damn supportive and nice about it. Much to my surprise, most of them have not decided what to pursue either.
Well, except for Christine, who has already run head-long into her plans. As expected of her. =P
We all watched the 9pm Kungfu Mahjong 2 show. And, well, it sorta sucked. Unless you like crude cantonese jokes... or actually know how to play Mahjong. -_-

The friend I stayed over at lives at this pretty secluded place. She doesn't have internet access or Astro ... which is GOOD for me, I think. Since I'm pretty much a couch potato at home anyway. -_-
My friend sticks up pictures and papers all over her room wall ... and I was reading a list she printed out of people in her class (or something like that ... don't ask me why I notice stupid things like that).
NAMES ... names of 40 people or so.
And I made an interesting comment. "You know ... out of these FORTY people ... only three or so will be outstanding in life. Possibly only one will be great. What separates 'normal' people from 'great' people?"
... Which led to a VERY long debate. My friends are cool like that. They understand me.
My friend's theory is this: Anybody can be great ... it is up to one's perspective to definite just exactly what 'great' is. So in that theory ... She's convinced that as long as one has tried his best in whatever he's doing, he or she CAN be great. If a toilet cleaner has done his absolute best in flushing toilets ... he can be great as well.
But I disagreed with her. I have always found some people to be greater than others. Like how Mahatma Gandhi will always be greater than me. I hardly believe that with my personality ... I'll ever alter history in a good way.
So what makes great people different?
Seriously, something I should definitely ponder about. Will write again when I come to a solid conclusion. =P
And oh, I've just decided that my family is CRAZY. My aunt called my handphone yesterday, SOBBING and choking away ... telling me that my dad is caught by the Singaporean police for speeding. Which freaked me out. And when I was scared out of my wits and in a nervous frenzy ...
... My dad suddenly called me. And asked me what I was eating for dinner.
...... I could hear my aunt LAUGHING in the background, going 'HAHAHA she fell for it?!?! Did she?!??'. GOSH!!!!!!!
And besides that, when my friend was at my house today, my uncle sneaked behind her, poked her ketiak, and screamed 'BOO!' into her ear. My friend screamed and fell off her chair.
I seriously have no idea which one is more embarassing. -_-
I give myself TEN years before I become crazy, lame and cuckoo. Though come to think of it ....... I already am 60% on my way there. ='(
