What to do when you meet haters?

Scenario

Imagine a girl, she does better than her classmates in school. As a result, her super jealous classmates start crowding around her during free period, recess, after school, even the period of time in between lessons. And guess what they do? Congratulate her? Ask her for tips on how to study better? NO! They ask her if she has Ebola!!? (Based on real situations/ imagination of the author)

Hi readers,

Welcome to another blog post by me. To help both you guys and myself know more about the world, I shall try to post more stuff that is trending, like current affairs, although maybe not immediately. Today, it will be about Ebola, the DEADLY virus, but don't worry, you won't get it by reading this post, hahaha(not funny? sorry...)

Background Information on Ebola:

What is Ebola?
 
Ebola is a viral illness.

Initial symptoms can include a sudden fever, intense weakness, muscle pain and a sore throat, according to the World Health Organization (WHO)
And that is just the beginning: subsequent stages are vomiting, diarrhoea and - in some cases - both internal and external bleeding.

Out of media player. Press enter to return or tab to continue.

The current outbreak is the deadliest since Ebola was discovered in 1976.

The disease infects humans through close contact with infected animals, including chimpanzees, fruit bats and forest antelope.
It spreads between humans by direct contact with infected blood, bodily fluids or organs, or indirectly through contact with contaminated environments. Even funerals of Ebola victims can be a risk, if mourners have direct contact with the body of the deceased.

This is obviously not a disease to joke around with, although which one is, hmmm...
but why are people doing just that?

Back to the scenario, your classmate did well. Why are you not glad for her? I understand that one may be jealous, because I was and still am a victim of the Jealousy Monster, but does one have to hurt another like that? Cursing them with Ebola? Seriously? Like, does one have to act in such a childish manner, just to show jealousy? And the best part, you are NOT showing how smart you are by knowing what is Ebola, you are only showing how childish you are by teasing your classmates like that.

Given a choice, would you rather:
A) Do well and not get teased
B) Not do well and not get teased
C) Do well and get teased
D) Not do well and get teased

Honestly, all 4 options are possible, it only depends on the individual and the people around him/her. For me, I would of course, choose A. Who right in the mind would like to be teased after all? But if one has the potential to do well, and purposely flunk the paper in order to avoid getting teased, then one is very silly. The future is ours, and only ours. Why ruin it in order to avoid unpleasant attention from other people? I was teased on one too many occasions, and I know what it feels like. I may not be the most qualified person to give you advice, but what I have is a pair of hands to type on the keyboard, a pair of ears to listen to you pour out your troubles over the computer, and most importantly, a heart to give you some sympathy and empathy. Feel free to drop me an email if you ever need me.

Back to school 2015

My beloved readers,

Hi again. I am going to do something a little special today. I shall do personalised file covers, cards, or anything you guys request.
File covers are simple, they are just a piece of paper on which I draw on. However, I draw them personally.
Everything will be hand drawn and I shall upload examples soon. I promise that they are all DIYs and original.

Looking forward to hearing from you guys.

Totally missing you again

Hi readers, it's my cousin's birthday today. We went to 'celebrate' it with her just now. It was painful, knowing that she has left us for almost a year. It hurts, knowing that this is the only way I can communicate with her is through my blog, through my heart. I will never get to have a proper conversation with her... Below is my wish for her.

Hey my dear Emily, how are you?

We haven't seen each other in almost a year. I remember that just a year ago, besides preparing for PSLE, we were preparing for your birthday party at Aranda Country Club, near East Cost Park. I edited a Minnie Mouse picture for your you. We sent the design to the bakery shop that has made all of my birthday cakes to make yours. Minnie Mouse was too hard for them after all. The result was a horrible looking Minnie Mouse that was way too skinny, remember? The year has been hard without you. It gets better everyday, but I still can't help but look up at the sky and imagine your pretty face smiling at me, cheering me to be brave and strong.

Running has never been easy, but thinking about you, how you endure those days in the hospital, I can't help but feel ashamed for thinking that running is hard. I am ashamed for not being as strong as you. I need strength from you. You are my role model. I could not imagine a world without you, now that I am thrown into this world, I don't have a choice. I have to adapt. It is not easy, yes, but I will try, and hope that one day, thinking about you will not be as painful as it is now. I guess it is not really painful, it's just that you left an aching in my heart that nobody will be able to replace. I think about you everyday, and everyday, I think about you, how you will look like if you are still with us. How will life be? I can't help feeling sad that you were not able to join us in flesh for the Taiwan trip. But I knew you went there with us, simply because you live in our hearts.

I think of you when I see kids. That's part of the reason why I won't give up volunteering in the near future. I see you in the liveliness of the kids. I see you, I imagine what you will be like if you were still with us. I shall continue to love you like I love nobody else. No one will replace your place in my heart. I love you, dear, so much that I can't bring myself to listen to The Fox. That will be your song, forever and always. I dedicate this song to you too. The name is< A Little Love>. Your mummy recommended it to me just this morning. Watch the video here!

         You are in my mind, every day, every hour, every minute, every second...

             Love,
                      JiaYi Jie Jie

Okayy readers, this will be it for the day.

Yay Or Nay? Chapter 1- Holiday Homework

Hi readers!
It nice to be able to write something for you guys to read again! I'm sorry that I am an horrible updater but I still sincerely hope that you guys don't give up on my blog because I have things lined up for you guys. The ideas are out and I just need time to write them. I shall be beginning on a new series- Yay Or Nay? where I will share my views on certain issues. You can also see it in a way that it is just me ranting about life. :p Still, I hope you will enjoy them. Now, for Chapter 1 of Yay or Nay?, featuring, Holiday Homework!

So this came about when I saw a newspaper article in the IN section of the Straits Times given to me by my school quite some time ago. I just haven't been able to find the time to start writing about it. The article was about kids like me complaining on social media about not being able to complete their holiday homework during the last day of the holidays. "Holiday is the open window for kids to think out of the box and unleash their creativity, and homework should not be the demon that shuts that window." This was the most inspiring sentence in that article that inspire me to write about the topic, holiday homework. Now the writer's classmates and friends may have been wasting their holiday previously, because(not showing off or anything but still...) I have once been a Primary 6 pupil facing the PSLE at the end of the year. And my Science teacher had assumed that we had been given the PLSE booklet when in fact we had not. When my teacher realise, she was shocked and since it was already June(we had extra lessons), she had no choice but to give us the booklet and ask us to complete it by Term 3, July. Of course, while I had classmates who did not attempt and just copied our teacher's answer, I was not one of them. I faithfully tried every question in the I dunno 400+ pages booklet in hope that it would pay off during the exam. I struggled in the holidays to complete it on top of the mountain of homework form other subjects given before the holidays.Although I nagged at my Science teacher for not giving us the booklet earlier, I still tried my best to complete all my homework by the time school began and got some revision in too. The hard work paid off in the end when I graduated from my beloved primary school with an aggregate of 251+2, 1A* and 3As. It was through this experience that I realised that no matter how much homework you seem to have, it will not be more than what you can handle, if you do have that determination to do well in school, academically.

That said, I understand that holidays are the time for us to indulge in hobbies and also to rest and recharge ourselves, but would it not be more relaxing to have fun AFTER finishing your school work?

Thus, although you will hear me complain about school holiday homework, you will usually not see me rushing through them in the middle of Sunday night, simply because I stick to the belief of "BITTER FIRST, SWEET LATER" or "先苦后甜“ in Chinese. This is also the reason behind why I usually do not go out for fun during the first few weeks of the holidays. I leave all that fun for the last week of the holiday, where I will have a blast then prepare for school in the next few days.

That's it for Chapter 1 of the new series which I will continue with when I have the time. Thank you for reading and you are awesome readers. Please comment below on how this was, too long? Too short? Not interesting?

Stay awesome, you guys!
