It's always like that - if you don't work hard for something, you will never cherish it.

There are just way too many people out there living in a sheltered greenhouse, being so protected and they probably never seen rain. Call me naggy, like an old woman, because I totally see the youngsters today like this - most young people, I meant. I have a bunch of very rich kiddos like that in my class. My lecturer feels the same way. She thinks that I'm probably 10 years older than my peers. Very nice compliment to hear huh, young lady?

When you worked for something yourself, then it becomes truly yours. Something that you're given - I would say you're just blessed.

I've decided to commit my Mondays and Wednesdays for the next term after seeing my new timetable. Shall see what comes next.

The skies look so gloomy (especially so in the west) because of the forest fire in Indonesia. Makes me very gloomy too.

Ultra busy these two weeks. Hate it when everything is like squeezed together - tests, projects, presentation and examinations for the Primary School - equating to more intensive tuition sessions. Time's so precious and totally dread it when I don't get enough sleep! I'm already not getting enough sleep since I don't know when but now its like doubly bad.

The gastric problem is like getting from bad to worse, guess must switch back to the expensive medicine. Its like haunting me every night. I'm losing track whether it is sometimes a plain stomachache or not. Every now and then, I just feel like I need the toilet desperately.

I need the damn time table for next term soon. Why is it still not updated after 4 days!

When too many cooks spoil the soup

It was mentioned that when many different people have so many different ideas, it makes things complicated. So I guess that is the main reason behind why people eventually stop suggesting, stop asking and then, stop doing.

I think I'm inevitably one of these people. Very part of the norm kind of people.

High D - Long time since I've been so competitive :D

Talking behind people's back is not necessary gossiping, it is another outlet for anger management or release of frustrations. Unhappiness has to be let out, somewhere and somehow. Everyone is the same and no one is a saint. If you are, then I bet you must already be up there (points upwards)

So you know, it does both parties good if one side just endure a bit and be a little less demanding. I tell myself that this is human nature and it is partly personality as well when some people just have to process what they are thinking by mouth. But unknowingly, it is indirectly causing disturbance and to a certain extent, annoyance and distaste.

The "you are not happy and so do I" concept.

Why there is no "the best of both worlds" theory when it comes to such issues?

What's up with me recently? Finishing lots of research and the Microsoft projects. Researching has not been a feat to me at all for the many years before until now. To hell with you, "scholarly"

Talking to myself has started to be a part of my life. I don't know since when I started to have this imaginary friend, guess I might be too bored at times and yet I am lazy to start interacting with real, full grown people.

By the way, I think there are so many things out there which are beyond our control, and there's simply no way to explain certain things or to put them into plain words. Those "what-if's" questions that I were asked today - I think I might just give it a try, if there's ever such a chance.

You probably will not know what the future might bring, so why will you want to care.

I think my Communications lecturer brought up two very good points today during tutorial. They are:

1. "Will" is a future tense. Yet many Singaporeans uses "would" to replace "will" to describe the future all the time/most of the time - which is incorrect. If one wants to use "would", the word "if" will have to appear somewhere in the sentence to make it grammatically correct.

To think about it, I guess I am now of these Singaporeans that she's referring to. In fact when I am typing this post, I have a strong urge to type "would" when it should be "will" ;)

2. What is your definitions of words like "good", "terrible", "convenient"? "Good" can be fantastic, impressive, outstanding? "Convenient" can be simple, easily attainable, accessible? When a certain word has too many meaning, it seems to lose its value - like the word has so many meaning that it almost meant nothing.

I think life's the same? When you have so many things, somehow you seem to have nothing because all that you have seem to be insignificant.

Abstract?

Indeed, this is how life is.
