Little Things Show a Whole Lot

I really meant to blog.

I really did.

Just that my good old pal, time, didn't allow me to.

Hmph.

(And yeah, didn't have anything much to blog about. You wanna hear about my life meh.)

Anyway, passing thought today that you might wanna chew on -- small things show a whole lot about a person's life.

Let's take for example: rough paper. I always use rough paper for Maths 'cos I'm really a perfectionist at heart and I don't wanna scribble my workings all over my foolscap and hand it up so I do the whole exercise on rough paper then transfer it over. Okay, that's not the point. But the kind of rough paper a person uses really tells a great deal about a person.

Currently, my rough paper is:

  • Chord Sheets (Solution)

  • Phonics related stuffs

  • Nissi Two worskshop misprinted pages

  • Project Work GPP template

Okay, now you know I print chords out to play on my guitar/keyboard, my parents run a business that involve teaching little kids how to read (you don't know the din they make on Saturday mornings), that I really enjoy creating and printing out stuff for church or anything for that matter, and I have too much project work stuff that I used it to scribble on a geography mindmap about deep weathering, karst landscapes and granite landforms (Geog Can Kill).

My Chinese teacher's rough paper is about property and stuff 'cos her husband is a real estate agent.

I went to study with Tiffany today and her rough paper is lots and lots of bible study materials, which show what her parents do.

Sometimes, my friends' rough paper is their parents accounting sheet stuffs.

So, you know, you can really tell a person's background by looking at their rough paper. It's all a matter of observation, really. Just like the classic example -- if Bill Gates uses dollar notes as his toilet paper, it shows he's filthy rich (pun intended).

So, little things show a whole lot.

Post(random)-script:
What's the rage about Harry Potter? I just don't get it.

perhaps people would like to hear about your life, thats what most bloggers write about and maybe thats the reason why people visit blogs? to know more about a person and whats going on in their lives.

Rough paper is real useful to me? though i'm a guy, i hate to submit untidy pieces of work, be it in lanuguages or MATHS! So yar. Understand how you feel about rough paper.

And i guess, we're 're-using' in a sense???

yeah. u're pretty right. never really saw rough paper that way. haha.

harry potter?! thought it was retarded till bout 2 books ago, which was where i realised the author writes pretty well.

hmmm... i use toilet paper as my rough paper eh. what does that say about me?!

(HAHAHA. kust kidding. duh.) my rough paper can only use 1 side. cause the other side is my dad's half completed sermon. (or draft mission budgets whatever, which are pretty confidential. i think.)

Miss Kon said...

june: that says that you are too lazy and too inconsiderate to save the earth. LOL. no lah. you think i go and read into other people's personality ah. hahah

Miss Kon said...

esther: LOW CLASS?!? you sayin i'm low class? hmph. i thought you loved me. -heartbroken-

Miss Kon said...

anonymous no. 2: not that i'm against it, but it's just that when people blog about their own lives i'm quite lazy to read it, unless it's someone i'm close to and wanna know what's going on. so i tend to not blog about my daily life. lol.

Miss Kon said...

anonymous no.3: yeah rough paper practically is a very large part of my life. i can't live w/o rough paper. hahah.

Miss Kon said...

caleb: EWW. what's the deal with you and toilet/tissue paper ah. can't u just appreciate them for what they are created to be? how would you like to be thrown around? hahah kidding.
