We post abstract entries on our blog. This is probably because we cannot resist ranting on our blog, but at the same time we do not want to offend people or to let people into our world.
But thinking about it, perhaps it’s a way of letting you put down the past also.
When you look through your old posts, and when you can no longer decipher what you were thinking.. That’s when you have let go of the past.
Omg it’s been so long since I last came here. Time certainly flies..
Well, so to fill up the empty void that I left here, I shall briefly list out what I’ve been through (from november till now).
1) Nov – Dec (Attachment@IBN)
I guess this attachment should have been much much easier, if I didn’t choose IBN. They imposed strict rules and regulations there. But I must say it was good exposure, because they didn’t treat us useless sidekicks who had too much time during their holiday. We were given many priveleges and work, so i learned a lot of stuff there. One of which is that I’ll probly nv touch research when I graduate? Not sure.
2) Late Dec (HK Wilson Trail)
The photos on facebook tell everything. Nothing much to say about it, except that it was fulfilling. Met a lot of new people, and became good friends with them. These are moments that I’ll cherish.
3) January (Cookie Monsters)
This is the most recent event. Cookie Monsters is a SL group among me and several of my good friends. I must say I am quite relieved that it is over, because it concluded months of planning that kept going in circles without a clear destination ahead. Eventually we all realised that we’ve been putting this off for too long, and we efficiently put everything together within 3 months (starting from Nov), and the actual baking session was a great success. Learned a lot from this SL – fundraising, baking, interacting with kids etc.
There were many other events happening here and there, which I must also write down so that I can rmbr..
– Sounding all fierce and stern during a GG, which I regretted terribly soon after.
– Ms Cheryl and Ms Win approaching me to counsel this troubled kid who supposedly is smart, but refused to take his exams. Made me feel.. really recognised.
– Going to the gyms with Yuxuan.
– Lab sessions with Ryan and Edwin
– Med Camp @ NYP (Allied Health Sciences)
– Career talk about Med & Dentistry
Yup roughly all these were the latest happenings. Not so happening huh. Everything sounds so school-related. Well, CNY is coming, so I hope I can have more life then.
Anyway, I’m gonna read. I felt very very inspired after reading The Five People You Meet in Heaven, which is a really good book. It has nothing to do with reading, but it ignited my interest for reading. Hopefully the interest will turn into passion? Anyway, reading is fun and meaningful, so I shall read.
Currently reading Haruki Murakami’s Kafka on the shore.
Tomorrow’s gonna be the first time I ever take a major national-scale exam since PSLE, which was very very long ago (like donkey eons ago). And that makes me feel really worried, not to mention that I need to do a presentation tomorrow (which isn’t my forte at all).
So right now, I’m as nervous as you can imagine.
Maybe I’ll screw up tomorrow. Maybe I’ll fail. Maybe I’ll get an A. Maybe maybe maybe. But before I start to worry about tomorrow, I should look back at all the past efforts first.
I must thank God for giving me such an awesome group, without whom, work wouldn’t be accomplished so efficiently, outings wouldn’t be so fun and our deliverables wouldn’t be handed in looking so promising. Many people complain and whine to me that their group sucks (like someone doesn’t want to do work, someone only does individual work and leaves out all the group parts etc), and I’m really proud and glad to tell myself that such unfortunate incidents have never happened in my group.
I thank them for giving me strength, and I thank them for condoning all my nonsense.
Well. Tomorrow’s session will be our final lap for this long and tedious journey. It’s the last time that we actually do something together serious. And we all deserve a break. Let’s finish this lap together with flying colours.
Needless to say, we are the champions. (:
Happy birthday inalfresco!
Thanks for being there.. always, to be my vent for these 3 years. You have been a great company. ♥
It’s frustrating not knowing what’s in your mind.
It’s frustrating guessing what’s in your mind too.
And frustration.. is frustrating.
BIG BIG SALMON FISH!!!
They asked me, what is yoke, my dear?
And I said “IT IS AN ACTION OF LULLING A CHILD TO SLEEP.” OMG SPASTIC.
Talk about why markers enjoy marking.
Using Econs concept to decontextualise HAPPINESS:
I remember vaguely what I said before, like how I want to operate a bank of happiness.
So this is how I’ll manage it. Everyday I shall start depositing a single happiness into the bank (which is called savings by the way). Then when rainy days come (for example, a recession), I’ll become poor in happiness. So what I can do is to withdraw these savings and then make myself happy again.
In fact, maybe I can spread the happiness to others, because this will bring about a multiplier effect. Like when talking to happy people, it makes you happy (which by the way is a positive externality). So when you make person A and B happy, they can talk to others and make person C and D happy, then when you talk to person A, B, C and D, they’ll all make you happy. But of course, that’s dependent on how optimistic (the marginal propensity to make people happy) they are.
Not just that! If I can invest my happiness in other people, then seeing them happy, I’ll feel even happier (I’m collecting my debt + interest rate).
What a cool idea!
My bank of happiness shall succeed. Awesome! (Hence I shall copyright it NOW.)
So I’ve wasted my entire Saturday lazing around, watching reality TV shows (hopefully it’ll serve me some use when I write essays on new media), and practically, doing nothing useful at all. Considering that promos is just in a week’s time, I had better do some work tomorrow. But before the day ends, I was inspired by this Tarot reading that I got a few days ago. So I’ve been asking myself a question (which I have no answer to.. yet).
Do you believe in prophecies?
Putting aside the complication that the mean through which your obtain the prophecy might not be accurate, let’s assume that the prophecy is true. Now, will you believe in what they say about your future?
So yep.. this is another question that I’ve decided to dump here.
Alright, you’ve been tricked. This is just a misnomer to catch your attention..
But I wish it was this easy to catch your attention.
