:(
CCA was cancelled today, 'cause a whole lot of us had field trips to attend. Stupid. Why do they always put all the activities in Term 3? Some more on CCA days. Huh... Please don't let us get scolded on Thursday for something that's not our fault...
Piano exam is on Friday! I was still hoping I could miss cross country, but it looks like I still have to go for it. Darn it. What a sheer waste of time. Nevermind. Elaine and I are going to take a leisurely nature stroll. What can they do anyway, make us run? Like how?
Was reading in the newspaper about more teens going for cosmetic surgery. Some of these operations are even birthday gifts from their parents. Sad case. If my mom ever told me she was willing to spend $16000 for me to undergo breast augmentation, or even $1000 to create artificial double eyelids, of all things that would hurt me most. To tell me that I'm not pretty enough, or even normal enough for my own mother to accept me, and that she has to fork out a pretty sum of money to enhance me. I pity them. To have your own parents tell you you're not whole enough for them. This kind of operation carries such a high risk too. For every time a patient goes under general anasthetic, there is a small possibility that he or she will not wake up again. A small chance maybe small, but not impossible. Fools. And staying in hospital will set one behind in terms of work. It really isn't worth it. It doesn't make you a better person, it just makes you look better. And even that isn't guaranteed. The doctors may give you all sorts of assurances, it may turn out nice at first, but there are complications. What's the point of going through such risk? If you're downright disgusting in your heart, no amount of surgery will change that.
And to Christians out there, I'd like to ask you one question: does your body belong to you? The Bible says that we are God's temple, and that His Spirit dwells in us. There are people without limbs, with deformed faces, have we any right to feel discontented with what we have?
Each to their own. I've made up my mind. Only in the even that one is badly disfigured by hot water or something, is that risk truly worth taking. After all, one can't go around with pins stuck in one's body and expect others to accept it.
Enough preaching.
I wonder how CCA on Thursday will work out. I do look forward to having the year end concert. It'll be fun. In a pure and innocent way, for your information. For your sake I hope I don't have to tell you that.
On second thoughts, perhaps it won't be so fun. I dunno. Things are so mixed up, so confused now. I don't even know where I stand! I once thought it was so, but now realise it is not. Argh.
Shall go call Tiannie. I promised to.
