Post-mortem

Yea yea, the exams are over.. but i don't really feel good about how i did for my papers though. I already did badly enough for the previous semester, and if i do not achieve what i've aimed for, i think my remaining 5 semesters will just be a matter of 'time-passing-by' =P.

It's the first thursday morning after the exams, and that means almost the whole of NTU went mambo-ing last nite. I'm glad i stayed behind. Even though part of me really wanted to go, i had to restrain myself. Glad i did. Woke up at 4 to catch Liverpool-Porto, and met Tim along the way, who recounted to me everything that happened in the club. Guys, seriously man.. did u hafta drink till the booze knocked the living day(night)lights out of you? =P asdfjlhiasvnjiw.

I'm 1/6 my way thru the book 'False Impressions' =), apart from a totally sick full day of DOTA yesterday. Headache i tell you. lol.. but i think i still suck at it though. I'm not born to play computer games i think =P.

Yesterday was toon's birthday. Happy birthday man! LOL.. but we still hafta clean the room before next sem starts..

Another thing to add to the list of things-to-do: attempt the Rubik's Cube..

DOTA-overdose

Headache from DOTA.

Be Inspired Part II

Awesome Dream Theater

Be Inspired

The Root of it all

Something unnerving has got the better of me the past few weeks, and i wonder what so. It can't be, can it? I don't want to, but sometimes the more one is restrained from a certain something, the more he hampers after it. If it is of no concern, why does one bother looking out for it? Perhaps it's happening again. At the wrong time? Maybe. Then again, when IS the right time?

They say forbidden fruits taste sweeter. Ok, not so forbidden maybe.

Some

Some stay, some don't
Some will, some won't

New ones, make
Old ones, forsake

The west has fun
The east undone

The Moon rises
The Sun ceases

What bases friendships?
Fun?
Tough times?
Chemistry?
Money?

Too busy?
Why of course.
We're but just an insignificant part.

Time finally?
Thank you.
It means alot.

Some things go unspoken.
Yeah it's tough being up there.

Don't let fame get the better.
Turn around,
We'll be there.

Operation Random

Aye, so much has happened. It'll take me forever to blog. Feeling very lazy.

Let's see, sports camp. 23rd July-29th July. Hall camp, 30th July-5th August. School starts.

Things are starting to pile up. So much to handle. How to multi-multi-task? So far still manageable =) i think.

I'm confused. God, what do u want me to do with my life? Why the signals?

Should I carry on with project Kite?

M5, M9, HI...will they be of future use?

I dun think i wana walk the path everyone else walks.

Need to do smth different.

What? Is money almost evth? *pulls hair* Could be, maybe, definitely not. What?

*knock knock*

Going crazy. Is is time?

LISS was awesome. Wake-up call abit.

Kranji is bad.

Desideratum

From the first day
You took my breath away
Thought it was by chance we met
But the encounters i cannot forget
More than physical attraction
Your love for God drew my attention
I've yet to know you girl,
Who knows? You could complete my world.

Congrats

Congrats to my bro...you know she's the one! haha...good girls are hard to come by! =P

Congrats to you too, i trust you made a good decision =)

Wait For You lyrics

Back!

Man, just realised it's been awfully long since i last blogged. Oh well, have been spending lotsa time building my future, laying the foundations now whilst school's not started yet.

In the process, i finally realise what a negative world this is. Flip open the papers and you'll understand what i mean. On another note of negativity, fear and doubt rule many people's lives. Because of fear of failing, because of doubts that a certain method will succeed, people are resistant to change. But guess what? I dun blame them at all. I was, after all, one of them. I understand where they're comin from and how they feel. If only however, they can understand how elated i am right now the moment i made that decision to change my life for the better in the future. As a friend, i really wish they can see it sooner rather than later. You know what? Whoever said no hard work is involved? Of course we hafta put in effort, and the winner is the one who doesn quit in times of adversities for these will surely form part of any activities we get involved in. That in mind, my dreams are not for sale. Thank you very much. Not so much the car, the house or whatever material that comes along as i would like to call it, a by-product. Instead, i'm looking to be able to spend quality time with my family, my kids, and to ensure my parents to grow old gracefully in a positive environment. Different people have different emotional dreams attached to themselves. And I'm certain of mine. After all, personal freedom doesn't come without financial freesdom. "Hullo??"

My subconscious starts tellin me smth as well. Even if people are apprenhensive, a true friend will say: "sorry bro, u know it's not for me. But if u think it'll work for u, go ahead and i'd support u." Compare it with: "sorry bro, i think it's stupid. u'll never gona make it." Get the difference? That said, I don't take things personally. Rest assured I won't lose a friendship over that.

Back to negativity, we can never escape from it no matter where we turn. We can't avoid it. However, we can dilute it with positivity. The mind is a powerful tool mind you. Go google "law of attraction". Rubbish you say? I wun argue with you, but it's your life. Thoughts translate into words, and words, actions. You decide.

To those who're concerned, i appreciate your concerns. My results this time round wasn't too good. But studies will come first. I'm looking fwd to next academic year. I've got loads to do. I only live once. And i'm not gona look back on life when i'm on my deathbed and wonder to myself, "what have i been doing all these years?"

And by the way, I've gained, not lost.

Nobody knows

It's hard when even the ppl closest to you start saying you'll never graduate well. True, give me advice and stuff, i appreciate them, even if it means reminding me of the consequences of doing certain things. Things i need to improve on as a person etc...i appreciate your input. But don't put me down just like that, not when even things have not taken off. All i can say is, let me prove you wrong, let me put smiles on your faces at the end of the day, and you'll look back to this day and say to yourself: "we should have had more faith in him."

Numbed.

Secrets

"The Secret of Life is letting go,
The Secret of Love is letting it show..."

Never been better

Hmm...just had a good chat on msn with you =) Caught up about life's happenings and got ourselves updated. Oh well, I'm happy for you =) And i hope things'll work out between you and him yea? And...I think you're special; don't think you aren't ok? Have faith. If you should feel weary along the way, take a break, stop and rest, but don't give up =) If He brings you to it, there must be some good tt'll come out of it, no matter the outcome. And if you're reading this, just to let you know, I'll alwz be a phonecall away =)

I wish you all the best =)
