Reflections

Have you ever sat back and thought through the things that you've done in the past and realised that you've not done much? Have you ever felt that you've not lived life to its best?

Hmm..

I hope I've made the right decision. No regrets. This'll be the end of a chapter and a start to a new beginning.

Yes man.

Uncomplicate the complicated.

Naked Science

It's really really amazing how powerful we are (or rather, how God has created us), how we take charge of life, do research, explore the intricacies of life, derive complex equations and so on omg omg.

Sometimes, I wonder, how scientists come up with theories, theorems and equations and somehow make them work. And how they explore intangible things, like mangetic field and so on and see the earth as a whole, when some parts of earth are inaccessible. OMG OMG OMG.

I'm simply fascinated.

I heart discovery channel.





Anyway, I had a dream, or rather a nightmare. Ok, it wasn't scary but it got my heart palpitating. Haha.

I dreamt that I was supposed to go for a piano exam the next day but I hadn't mastered my exam pieces. And if I didn't remember wrongly, I just practised my exam pieces through the night and went for exams in the end... Then I woke up in the middle of the night, heaved a sigh of relief when I realised that I've a month to exams. Not too long, but enough to catch up and do all that I can to..................................................... Thank goodness this "dream" came at the right time, maybe it's a sign. Thank God!

All right, if you can't find me anywhere else, I'll most probably be in the library. Hurhur. :P

Staries

This post's dedicated Staries, the online game which I'm hooked on for the present moment. Haha. I think, there're stuff that I can learn from Staries which I find rather applicable to life.

1) There's more than one solution to a problem.
- 'cause there's sometimes more than one way to bring 3 stars together. If moving them horizontally won't work, you can try the vertical direction and sometimes, you'll be in for a COMBO!

2) Not to be too impulsive and see the bigger picture.
- 'cause sometimes, in a bid to group the stars as much as possible, one may actually neglect another combination that can group more stars together or even result in a COMBO.

3) Everything will come to an end, so do not give up.
- 'cause, no matter what, the game will end, somehow. Thus, there's no point giving up, in the sense that one quits the game when he/she thought that there's no more moves. The game WILL tell you when there's no more moves. Hence, it's good to keep trying to find stars to group together. Though life won't tell us when the end is, we should still keep on trying, at least a bit harder each time and who knows, we will succeed.

4) Locks can be opened.
- cause' when the right coloured stars appear next to a lock, it can be opened. Sometimes, one needs to wait for the right moment to open the lock that's hindering he/she from progressing.

All right, pretty lame to be analysing STARIES haha.. Gosh, can't believe it has an impact on me.

Cool

Here's a lil story I heard and I'm writing this down lest I forget:

Girl A and Girl B are good friends and both have graduated from university. Girl A graduated with an engineering degree and is running her own business while Girl B graduated with a PhD in law. One fine day, they met up for dinner to catch up with each other. They chatted about life, their directions in life and random stuff. Then they decided to play a game whereby they will ask each other questions and the party who couldn't anser would have to pay the other money. As Girl A's just a mediocre businesswoman, she'ld pay Girl B 5 bucks if she weren't able to answer her question while Girl B'ld pay 5000 bucks ('cause lawyer mah, then very knowledgeable). And so the game begins..

Girl B started the questioning first.

Girl B: What's the distance from the sun to the moon, divided by the speed of light?

Girl A thought hard for a while and replied, "I don't know". She then paid Girl B 5 bucks.

Then Girl A asked Girl B a question.

Girl A: What's this ugly looking green animal that has 3 legs on land, 2 legs in water and curls up like a ball when it's frightened?

Girl B was dumbstruck. She started searching for the answer, exhausting all her sources- calling all her friends, asking for their help to search the encloypedia and so on. After 3 hours, she gave up.

Girl B: I give up. Here's 5000 dollars, so what's the answer?

..........
.........
........
.......
......
.....
....
...
..
.

Girl A: I don't know.

And Girl A paid her 5 bucks for not being able to answer her question. Despite losing 10 bucks, she earned 5000 in return.

Woots.

Anyway, it's up to an individual interpretation of the significance of this story. To me, it tells me that we should not think too much, as the solution to a problem may be just that simple.

All right, time to retire for the day. I'm darn shagged; my brain's hurting badly.

Errr..

True enough. The lack of sleep the night before is taking its toll on me. My head hurts and I have darn big eyebags and dark eyerings.

Haha, well in the end, I didn't manage to stick to my resolution to stay awake through the night and fell asleep at 3am. Luckily How woke me up else I'ld have overslept. Hmm. My fatigue kind of affected my mood today. I wasn't very enthusiastic and somehow, I couldn't speak coherently haha. And to think I went straight for project discussion after I came back to hall. And I'm sooo glad right now 'cause we're almost 85% done with our project, just left the report that we've to do and I really really hope the answers generated are within the acceptable range, else we've to meet up to re-do the darn project again! Humph.

Humph. Exactly 4 weeks to exams and and and I'm pretty apprehensive. I think I really gotta bid my lappie farewell again till the exams're over. She's darn big distractions and time flies when I interact with her, for unknown reasons. :( Ok, 'nuff said. It's time for some action man! :)

Bring it on!

Don't stop never give up
Hold your head high and reach the top
Let the world see what you have got
Bring it all back to you
Dream of falling in love
Anything you've been thinking of
When the world seems to get too tough
Bring it all back to you

Don't you know it's true what they say
Things happen for a reason
But your time's coming around
So don't stop trying

blurp blurp blurp oooooo

Hello hello, I doubt I'll be sleeping tonight 'cause I've to wake up at 5.30am later and if I were to sleep, I don't think I'll be able to get up by then.

Freak and I'm darn tired I tell you. Today's been a very long day, going for lecture at 10am, lab till 3.50pm and project discussion till 6.30pm. And tomorrow's gonna be worse, with MBS thingy the entire morning, project discussion in the afternoon and a workshop at night.

Woots. I hope I'll still be alive and very much kicking by the end of the week.

Once again, I really hope that I can freeze time, so that while the rest of the world's frozen, I can take a good long nap. =)

Anyway, I'm starting to babble already- this is not a good sign. I think I won't be able to speak coherently and think reasonably when tomorrow comes.

Can't wait to sleep. Tomorrow.



Sometimes, it takes the right person to say the right things at the right time to get me going again. Seems like I draw inspirations and motivations from the PEOPLE around me and I thank God for making these people appear at the right moments. =)

Hello wakey wakey sleepy head!

Yesss, as I'm typing this.. my eyelids are getting heavier and heavier.

Sheesh, 35 days to exams and am still finding studying unproductive. Hmm, I mean, I may SEEM to be reading my notes/textbook, BUT nothing's getting into my head. I need to read some stuff over and over again. It's like, I'm just touching the surface. Seems like I really need to dissect it and see what's inside.

Ok, anyway, I was pretty thrilled about this game called "Staries" on Facebook that I went back and installed it immediately, partly hoping that playing a game or two could keep me awake the next few hours. WTH right?

Sheesh, I hope I don't get addicted to it, considering the fact that I spent the past hour playing it. WTH. It's at instances like this, that I wish I've the special power to FREEZE TIME- that everyone stops doing stuff and I'M the ONLY one who can do stuff.

Time freeze time freeze time freeze time.

VEXED!

Should I or should I not? To be or not to be?

Sheesh, I'm really bad at reading the signs. Can someone tell me pleaseee? What's my motivation exactly? Is it worth doing certain things over and over again? Am I up to it?

I've no idea why I've been feeling angsty lately, in fact, to the extent that I get provoked at the slightest issue.

Oh man, if I could have a special power, I would like to freeze time. If I could have another special power, I would like to read minds. Yah but true la, with great powers come great responsibilities. Haha I'ldn't mind having these great powers even for a short period of time and I'ld gladly take up the great responsibilities that they entail! =)

Anyway, these aside, I hope to come to a conclusion soon and get going with life again. Well, today's been totally unproductive. Sheesh. Went for lunch with my dad and bros. Gosh, my dad really orders a lot, a lot of food, think I'll put on even more weight when I move back home to stay come the holidays haha. Then, gave tuition in the afternoon. I'm pretty blessed that my tutee's mum's kind. She always insists on serving me drinks and sometimes even food, though I don't want them haha. :P Yah, and came back to do some stuff for the pantry- painted the tables, washed the cushion covers and discussed about our "vice" night. I hope we'll tide through it and not get black marked. And here I'm blogging... AGAIN! Sigh, I guess I just need to get some stuff off my mind.

Why why tell me why?

Memorable Visit

Disclaimer: This may sound like a post for "THE seniors" blog.

Wooh, today I had one of the most memorable visits so far in history! T.H.E. (stands for "Touching Hearts of Elderly") seniors've 3 new elderly to visit this time round and as promised, we were to clean up Mr T's (to protect his identity) house. Lao lao and I were the earlier few and we recced his flat before deciding on the equipment and amount of manpower needed. Ermm we were rather shocked at the state of his home- the floor was covered with stubborn grim- and I found the stench in his house rather nauseating, sorry to say. Then we headed down to NTUC to get the necessary stuff like gloves, a mop, dustpan, cloths, detergent and other cleaning materials and met up with the rest.

Hmm Lao lao was in charge of the living room, DR the toilet, Marg the kitchen and me the windows cum basin. Ermm.. we scrubbed, rubbed, dug, cleaned, wiped and did all we could, with all our might and finally, we managed to remove most of the stubborn stains except for some left on the toilet bowl and the wall. Which reminds me that we've to get the following stuff on the next visit: Dishwashing liquid and sponges, scrub with thick bristles, extremely strong stain removal. Besides, we've to change his bedsheet and clean his travel case. (Btw his bed has bed bugs and I almost brought one home ahaha, luckily I saw it before I could =P) Hmm but these aside, I think 'cause of his poor eyesight, he can't see the stains and thus believes that his floor ain't a least bit dirty. He also wears his slippers at home, really hope that he'ld heed our advice and get a new clean pair which he can wear at home instead. Haha so much for today and we were shagged but happy I guess. =)

Anyway, after visit, I was supposed to study at the library. Unfortunately, all the seats at the cafe were taken up, even those on the other levels were occupied. Humph and sensing that it was going to rain heavily soon, I decided to head back home. And so here I am, blogging away... again.. Sigh. I hope I won't succumb to temptation again, please please sleepy bug, don't bite me!!!


Zzzzzzzz...

Take Charge!

Yes man! *Nods head forcefully* ...haha jenny pok'ld know how this looks like! :P Oh yah and I gotta thank jenny pok for that sms, one of the warmest first things to see in the morning. =)

Today's Good Friday. Not much of a happening day besides that I went to church with bro1 this morning. Pretty cool stuff. After that, we had lunch, a sinful one, and I had a great talk with him hurhur. Needless to say, I slept the rest of the day away as I had pretty little sleep the night before. So much for bringing my notes home, hoping to cover a few chapters of particle technology today. Bleah. Well, at least the night IS still young I hope. =)

By the way, bro1's super proud and protective of his new lappie. I'm using it right now btw and he's rather anal about me exerting too much pressure on the keys oppss.. hahaha. I think if I take care of mine as much as he takes care of his, my lappie may last a few more decades.


Argghh so much to do...


When walking, as we step one foot forward, we lift the other foot up. In the same way, we should let go of yesterday and focus on today.

Wooh man!

Today was.. a whirlwind and totally unproductive!

Ok, maybe not entirely unproductive, I did learn something about the truth- the question that I've been asking ever since- WHAT WENT WRONG? I think I've found some answer. I just hope that I won't make the same mistakes again. =)

Stayed from 12 to 4 at the clubroom today to conduct interviews and stayed on to figure out the problem with our project and to our mock horror, we realised that some equations and conditions given in the question are WRONG. Oh man! We wasted like 5 hours figuring out an unsolvable problem- last saturday and today. Thank goodness we decided to look for our tutor to clarify and then she told us that she would post the most updated details next monday. Like WTH! Pity those groups who have completed bulk of the project. Well, I really really hope that we'll be able to complete this project by the end of next week so that we can really concentrate on the others and studying for the final exams.



And I love you Mommy! Thank you for saying those words just when I needed them most! =) Faith.

everything's gonna be all right

and so Alicia Key's my inspiration.

Yup and I believe so that everything's gonna be all right.


"Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for"

"Dreams are like stars...you may never touch them, but if you follow them they will lead you to your destiny."

Yup and I'll keep my faith. =)

contain!

Oh my oh my...

Whatever the outcome is, I got to learn to take things in my stride..


And the wait is extremely antagonising... But I've faith in YOU! =)

Oh my oh my... helpppppppp!


Oh man, how I wish I can filter my thoughts and stash unnecessary ones in a "freezer" compartment first and take them out only when I'm free...
