For some reason I can't explain.
Friday was a fun day. Spent with the awesome people, Nut, Gill, Gwen and Mervelle. We went to Queensway to look for our bags but they didn't have the colours we wanted. So disappointing. I know Nut was especially upset, but we're going to Heeren to look for it on Monday, so hopefully we have better luck there, eh? (:
And speaking of Nuttaye, she followed Mervelle and I to mass. Say omg. We bought meatballs from Ikea and ate them in the cab to church. Hoho. Mervelle's sister and her friend, Rod went for mass with us. Rebecca too. And halfway through mass, Rebecca told me that Rod's her catechist. :0 But he stopped teaching to study. How coincidental.
As Nut and I were leaving church and walking out the gates, I was about to tell her the story of how at that same place Mervelle and I once saw a rat. And before I could even finish my sentence, a bloody rat scurries past us into church! I pointed at it and we both screamed. How horrifying. It was like a repeat incident. Then the woman in front of us scolded us. Sheesh.
This week we had colour codes for our rubberbands. (: Monday was red, Tuesday was orange, Wednesday was green, Thursday pink, and Friday purple. How cool. We only got caught on Tuesday and Wednesday. :/
Jasmine and I ate almost 2 thirds of a packet of Fruitella today. She said the peach flavoured ones suck so we ate only the blackcurrant and strawberry. She likes the strawberry so she took most of that and I ate like almost 5 blackcurrant ones. We're gonna get diabetes. Oh well.
We had to do some decision making thing today. We had to write down a list of the 15 most important people in our lives. So, instinctively I wrote down, and so did most other people, family first. Then followed by close friends and cousins. The next step was to strike off 5 names. Aaron said to imagine you're in a boat and you can only save these people. So in other words imagine you kill 5 people by throwing them in the sea. Feed them to the sharks. The first five were hard, but the next 4 we had to strike off were even more difficult. I spent a long time thinking about who was to go first. And finally, we cancel another 3 names to make the final 3. I was left with one family member, one close friend, and one cousin. I think mostly only the girls took this thing seriously. The guys were writing people like Bill Gates, George Bush and Osama.
But I think this thing was good, in the sense that it made me think about the people that helped make changes in my life and such. After class however, I thought about it again and I think if I were to rewrite the list, there are some people I would take off and some I would put on. Some I would strike off earlier, some not till later. Jasmine and I felt bad striking off family members cause well, they're family. And I had a hard time deciding which friends to strike off first. Now I realise though, that some people, some friends, I only put there because we hang out together everyday, or I feel I am obliged to. Which is not really the point of this thing. But I realised who the most important people in my are. So yeah, I would do it differently now.
I thought that was quite an eye opener, because it sorta like forced me to choose. Which life sometimes does to you too. You can't always run away from everything. Even though I would if I could. Oh well. At least I know now that whatever decision I make, I'll make it with God.
I like cat class. (:
And I like cat class with Jasmine. It's fun. We laugh quite a lot. (: We missed Van today though. Next week, man tou. Project socialites!
