Why is it that sometimes we just get the feeling we're put on the opposing side on a tug-of-war with the rest of the world (ie the trend around us, the widely accepted/habituated beliefs), with our very souls tied on the rope? It seems the more sure we are of ourselves and our own ideas, the more discordant we are with the momentum that's moving ( Read more... )

I was quite bored by Issues and Ideas (just yesterday I was reminded of its unfortunate existence) so I took an hour-long break rummaging through some of my most precious things - letters, photographs and the two entire files of memories. They totally cheered me up! Especially in the midst of mugging when I was starting to question I'm anything ( Read more... )

Some reformative actions after I'm back from Hai Nan that could hopefully steer me towards using my time in better ways.

The don'ts:

1. Delete MSN (Done)
2. Abstain from listening to mp3 whenever I get a wee bit of free time (Trying to)
3. Off my handphone periodically to give it a rest. According to parents their phones batts are dying (really dying ( Read more... )

This is NOT another angsty entry like the previous two. Thanks to people who commented and smsed me about it! Your words of concern and encouragement really meant a lot a lot a lot to me! Like Mei said life goes on no matter what so I guess it's life back to normal for me now. At least right now I feel like I can forget all the crap that happened ( Read more... )

Patience!

Rarrrrrrrrrrr.

Crap I don't like the feeling of sinking into one depression after another, getting one devastating result after another. I'm tired of facing failures. I need some elevating results, some achievement for me to assure myself I'm not a consummate idiot I think I am right now. It's simply dismaying walking out of some stupid ( Read more... )

It's also giving yourself enough time to recover when things that affected you are over, and allowing yourself to start slowly in gaining the momentum to work again?

AHHHH am I too slow though?

<3 HCCO - you make me :-)

I have been blasting recordings for the past hour or so. I just love listening to the voice of HCCO!

Like Shouhao said, it's hard to imagine what life without HCCO would be like. Go lecture, go tutorial, go home, go sleep - would I feel as fulfilled as I'm feeling right now? (quote qiyu "that's because ur imagination not ( Read more... )

"If you all sound perfect now I would worry"

That's what Ger said to me on msn a few days ago, while I was feeling stressed about CO.

True isn't it? We should peak right there and then on the stage of SCH on syf day. Currently we're on the cline that's going to bring us there. I shall kope Mao's favourite line - "jiayou ba!"

Many seniors have been ( Read more... )

Someone wrote this in my autograph book at the end of sec2, when we all thought there won't be an IP program in Nanyang and we'll all be separated into different classes. This line has always been a source of motivation for me, helping me out of my depressions and angsty self denials. After encounter a string of setbacks in the past month, it ( Read more... )

NYCO SYF 2007!

Yayness!

Congrats to NYCO! It's not about the Gold with Honours that they got... it's the NYCO spirit that's shown. I was with about 30 other NYCO supporters (seniors who never failed show to their support for NYCO and who came back to watch my last NYCO SYF two years ago), having butterflies although I was sure my juniors would shine ( Read more... )
