lucky??

decided to take some time off my studying to update..

finally im catching up and closing the gap i'm lagging in my study plan.. felt a sense of satisfaction =)

vsitied old school timbre with 47peeps on fri.. my first time there dining and i realised its a different atmosphere from the substation. maybe it's a lil too quite for us cos we were making quite a bit of noise, spoiling the silence in a way.. din really get to enjoy n appreciate the music there cos we were all busy playing with the ipod games.. hahha..

and i bought my new camera!! a blue canon ixus 95.. din get ixus 80 cos they do not have the colour i wanted.. bought from song brothers at sim lim.. only to realise that they were a known black shop that cheats their customers.. thanks andrew n vincent for adding on to the fire the whole night.. im not really affected but poor jenny... she seems quite upset.. :P

we dropped to 4th for cesim.. guessed it boils down to our over-conservetism.. we tot we were already quite agressive in the share buybacks n dividend payouts but the rest beat us to it.. 7/10 is still not bad a grade for us la i suppose..

received a sms last night from my good fren saying how lucky i am in times of economic crisis.. already settled on a job before i graduated..

the message goes: 'you lucky gal.... ha... do you know you're the most most times billion lucky women in this planet?'

im quite saddened and affected by what she said.. makes me think does all that i have and acheived up to this point in time is all becos im lucky? i agree that most things up to this point have been quite smoothing sailing for me.. there are times where i worked hard and times where i played hard.. i doubt it's pure luck for me? maybe others could not see the hard work i've put in what i do? so they assumed that whatever i acheived is due to my luck? it may appear to her that she puts in alot more effort than me but she cant acheive somewhere close to what i have. i kept encouraging her to be optimistic but i guess i cant change her perspective due to her consistent rejections in job applications and not so ideal results.. i duno how to reply her message and it left me thinking..

guess that's life? there are things that you are better than others and things that others are better than you. but you cant see what you have and get envious of what the others have....
