Scorpion and Tortoise (Aftermath)

(Continued)

Tortoise moaned in agony, "Why did you stung me when you promised me you won't."
Scorpion replied conveniently, "I'm sorry... I can't help but to sting whichever that seems like a prey."

What's the nature of a scorpion? It stings.
What's the nature of a scorpion when it receive help? It stings..
What's the nature of a scorpion when it receives goodwill? It stings...
What's the nature of a scorpion which loves it's loved ones very much? It still stings!

In life context, it is still as true as it is in the analogy.

How ironic, we can adapt the nature that surround us in the world that we live in, but it is so hard to adapt to someone's nature, especially loved ones and even oneself.

Scorpion and Tortoise

Tortoise was happily soaking himself in the river. Scorpion soon appeared by the shore.

'Mr. Tortoise, will you give me a lift across the shore, please? My son is lost at the other side of the river and he must be starving by now. Please, i have to get there...' ,Scorpion pleaded.

Tortoise instinctively know that the Scorpion was down to trap him, but pitied his son.

'I'm not a fool, you'll sting me!' Tortoise defended.

'Why would i sting someone who'd help me! Please Tortoise, my son is very pitiful right now, please help me get to him, I promise i won't sting you...'Scorpion affirmed.

That sounds logical to Tortoise, 'Why would i be stinged for helping?'. And the soft-hearted Tortoise sympathised for the young scorpion even more.

'Please...Please...' Scorpion pleaded sorrowfully.

Tortoise finally made a decision, ' Alright Scorpion, I'll help you, but you better don't sting me.'

'Of course, thank you so much!

Tortoise felt great having to help Scorpion and being thanked, and his fear of being stung soon subsides.

Scorpion got onto Tortoise, and on the way to the other shore.

Upon the arrival of the destination, Tortoise was stung.





What's the moral of the story?

A picture says a thousand words

Poly Life

Next week, is the conclusion of my first semester in TP. Times in poly and and secondary school differs greatly. If days fly in secondary school, days 'teleport' in poly. Time seems to pass unknowingly while having lectures, tutorials and labs.

I've 3 CCAs altogether. PACEsetters, Toastmasters, and Red Cross.

No, there's no Red Cross in TP. I attending a Volunteer Instructor course, VIP 8 months ago. Those days were great. Well the best was in a camp known as Linkamania. Whereby i'm staying with pleasant people and energetic primary school kids! And my role in the camp was a mentor for one of the groups.

I'm deployed back to Broadrick Sec, where i started my Red Cross path. Skipped some lectures, particularly OC, and even some tutorials and went down for rehearsals and trainings. Speech Day, School Official Opening, and usual trainings. For that, i wasn't tt bonded with my class. Kinda neglected them. Glad i'm more inclined to my class now.

Toastmaster! Whenever i mentioned this to my friends, their reaction are so predictable: 'Huh?'
It's a public speaking organisation, not some wine-tasting clubs or something.

PACEsetters! Well the reaction for this is worse: 'HUH!'
I can't blame my friends since its only known in TP. Basically its a cca whereby the members are deployed as ushers and helpers for various significant events in TP.

Before the semester began, i went for TP's 'Freshmen Orientation Camp'. The best part is the TP Mass Dance! It just brings out the zest in everyone, even those who arn't enthusiastic at all. The following week was another bonding period, this time was school base, Applied Science School.

My class, A7D6, which i deemed as "A class of good souls". Why do i say so? Because i'm their classmates.(I'm kiddin') Rather because they're genuinely nice people. And i have to be proud of my class. It houses Mahjong Kings and Sages, Dota Pros and Maple-ly richman. And many academic Top-5ers too! And my Careperson(form-teacher) was a former bodybuilder! Interesting. I've also befriend many from the other five classes.

So my current modules are: Principles of Inorganic and Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Mass and Energy Balance and Engineering Mathematics. It's arranged from the strongest to the weakest.

The first semester wasn't smooth at all. The resistance to adaptation was high. Changing the approach to education at a higher level was kind of challenging now at the initial state. And my results proven it so. Thankfully i've started to change, taking the first semester as a lesson. It's was a manifestation of my unawareness and perhaps, lack of seriousness. Chemistry is interesting. It is interestingly hard to grasp too! Underestimation sure did played a part.

First Post

I'm back to blogging!

With a blog i can call my very own, unlike the previous one with my ex-classmate, and hence it shall be named after me.

This is my 4th blog that i'd created ever since 2004 (Actually there's 5 before this blog).
1st - http://gogozacky.blogspot.com/ (2004)
2nd - http://halohungup.blogspot.com/ (2005-2006)
3rd - http://weibertism.blogspot.com/ (2006-2007)

Each one has its stories, the emotions in it lies there till the end. So whenever i open any of the previous links, flashbacks of my secondary school life will spontaneously appear. Happy moments, as well as...bad.

For every blog has a purpose. And i can say that the purpose of this blog is perhaps, the most meaningful one among all others that i'd created.

During the school-less period between end of O's till the first day of TP, and till now, I've learn loads of stuffs! And i've grown. As i gathered so much knowledge and experience, i've always got the urge to write it down. And the other urge is to pass it on, sharing it with people i'm close to.

And that's where blogging is the supply for my needs.

Everyone has guides and helpers, both in physical and non-physical form. They appear at different seasons of one's life. And you'll be fascinated by how the universe shapes the contact between you and your guides. At this period of my life, i'd contacted two of the physical ones.
Wonderful beings, teachers of Universal truths, they are. Whatever i've learn, there may be limits of absorbing and applying it, but there's no limits for sharing it. And this blog serves also as a material of self-reflection at the end of the day. It can remind me of what i learn too.

Give and take is essential and must be balanced, neither one can be compromised. And that's how life works said one of my guide. This is how the system works: Desire to learn, Universe do something to fulfill the desire, be grateful by sharing it, by being grateful the Universe will give you more, and this forms a cycle.
