BF and UG.

I dragged Collin to a symphony orchastra concert yesterday to complete this 200-800 words essay. Urg.

(Go into more details later when I feel better. Just got pissed off by said guy. Hmph.)

Anyhow, we two poor souls, who are extremely sleepy after what seems like a 2hours lullaby, got dragged to meet the rest of gang. Urps, I couldn't tell if it is peer pressure or moral obligation. Heh. But, BUT (pre-empting violent reactions from the rest), I didn't regret going! Even though I almost fell asleep once or twice on the pretty chairs at Barfly.

The decor of Barfly is really baroque-inspired! I want my room to be like that! Shall convince my dad to buy me a black chandelier. I wannnntttt!!

I will be uploading more pics when I have time. Here's just one to show how crazy Ting got, how Fang kept her cool in all the madness, how Geo readily assumed her narcissistic tendencies, how I always play along and how terrified Meiqi was. Heh.

We are meeting damn often these days. And I really enjoy them all.

When's the next meet up!?

Crossing my fingers. I can do this!

Wish me plenty of luck and pray for me please!

Seize the day!

I watched a really inspiring video in class yesterday. It isn't really related to our coursework but my very nice Korean lecturer took one hour of his precious seminar time to show it us nonetheless.

It's this speech from some (probably big shot) guy at National Geographic. He talks about the 4 key factors to succeed:

Passion
Vision
(I didn't catch the 3rd; maybe Technique or something like that)
Creativity

With passion and vision, commitment and discipline will follow effortlessly.
You need to work on your technique to be ready when opportunities arise.
And that sometimes, the answer is just around us if we open our eyes and change our perspective. (He is talking about photography so to him, the difference between a very good shot and a good shot is sometimes a matter of milimetres.)

There is one message that really hits home for me.

"There is more than one solution to The Answer. "

We may not be always taking a smooth ride to whatever we want in life. But we can hone our perseverance, we may take a longer and bump-ier ride but we'll be there eventually and the process may make us much better persons.

Hmmm...

Ting! Congrats, you are a certified driver now!! Looking forward to a rideeeeee!

And god bless the man/woman who returned my laptop. My heart nearly stopped. Thank goodness indeed. Bless you bless you bless you!

Alright, off to another mad day in school.

Never give up.

They tell you - when life throws lemons at you, make lemonade?

This semester's beginning to mirror the previous where you find yourself terribly busy and all worn out; and where the amount of effort you put in simply do not churn out the expected results.

So we making lemonade yo?

Shan't let that be a self fulfilling prophecy and pledged to push myself harder (even if I don't go for honours). It is one of those vulnerable days where I need to prove to myself that I can succeed if I put my heart to it.

At this juncture, a little motivation never hurts. I get mine at a cheap price of 45cents, and it almost never fail to give me a morale boost.

I am still holding on to my dreams.

I've splurge. Urps.

Forgive me, (insert some higher power entities), I've splurged.

See, I shop a decent lot. But I have my threshold for certain things, especially clothes since most are overrated and overpriced*. And LRH makes this point all the more clear to me.

But this one, I can't help it.


I don't know why i like it so much.
Maybe, it matches my I-am-a-slippers-kind-of-person personality.
And maybe i should head back to Zara to get the tee inside too - comfy and cheappp.

I wanna shoppppp moreeee.


*Advert: Little Red Heels don't do that! Heh. We promises style at super affordable prices. Bottomline is really not our biggest concern. :)

playing the devil's advocate

you can't stop when the siren goes off.

you either make it or break it.

it's difficult when I can't read things.
because skepticism always gets the better of me.

that's only because it is better to face up to things
than to be in denial that life is picture perfect.

make it?
break it?

this funny thing called love.

sometimes we hold on too tight
'cause we are afraid to lose something
- but because we do
- we lose it.

sometimes we hang on too loose
'cause we are afraid to fall too deep
and hence getting hurt
- but because we do
- we lose it.

sometimes we just want to let go
to protect, to preempt
- but because we do
- we lose it.


Meng told me it is easy to fall in love, but difficult to maintain love. I think love is about striking a balance - a hypersensitive scale that tips whenever one party falls into negligence.

In my opinion,
the 1st case is silly,
the 2nd is sad and
the 3rd foolish.

Which one are you?
