Went with mummy to school and collected my report book. Much more satisfied with my overall results as compared to my raw grades. The best thing is the B I got for Geography, that is like 3 grades up. My Art, Chinese,, Maths remains at my standard grade, C,B and D respectively. Hahas! Surprisingly, I managed to pass my GP.
However, my Economics grade(D) is a disappointment, 2 grades below my usual B. I better start putting in some effort for Economics, it is not as if it is so difficult to pass, it's just my laziness. I have not studied for a single economics test(except for the recent one) since the start of the year, and I failed all, with the lowest being 3! The grades can compete with my math already.
Continuing. Went with mummy to Haig Road to have lunch and visited the bank. Then she dropped me off at Parkway. I wandered alone at parkway for quite some time. Very poor thing right. :( Ahahas! Anyways went to the pet shop to check out if there is any golden retriever. There was one and it's sold! Went to popular and borders after that. Got myself 2 GP essays books, 1 Math assessment book and a story book( where rainbows end). My mummy keeps nagging at me to practice my math. Hais. Oh well, it's for my own good.
The Wise Woman
by Author Unknown
A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream.
The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation.
The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime.
But, a few days later, he came back to return the stone to the wise woman. "I've been thinking," he said. "I know how valuable this stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me this stone."
Sometimes it's not the wealth you have, but, what's inside you that others need.
There are some things money can't buy and this story is an example of that phrase. A person may be rich or poor not by what he has but by who he is.
