Hi guys,
Have been really busy with my courseworks and tests for the past 2 weeks, so didn't have the time to write on the blog or talk to you guys on MSN. Well, the dreadful week is finally over, now that all the tests are almost done; well though I have 5 more coming before Christmas approach. So I think most of you guys are busy with your Exams, and maybe busy preparing for it also, hope you guys are doing great. Just hang on and soon you can enjoy your long awaited break.
My week has been pretty good, less for today when I realised that some of the items in my Parcel have been confiscated for no obvious reasons. Not for the fact that I can't get to eat the food, but more of the money that my parents and uncle spent on. Money has been quite precious to me since coming over here, well ok, not that I was very generous back in Singapore, but now I really do treasure each and every single cent spent. Well, many things happen for a reason isn't? Just like what Yuyee has mentioned, many things that happened happened for a reason that was initially not obvious to you. When you are down, when you feel like shit, when you think why is everyone turning their back on you; calm down for a moment. Actually there are 2 ways where you can solve these problems: 1) You can actually beg that you can come out of it quickly; 2) you can choose to be strong and overcome all these problems. I think choosing the latter will make you become a stronger person, especially in character. Well, not that I always choose the 2nd option, but hope you guys can be strong in times of problems and adversties. Stay, fight and conquer the problem. At the end of the day, you will find out the real reason of the problem and having overcome it, you will feel happier.
I have been feeling stressed these days with my performance during tests and the preparation of all the coursework, striving for the maximum even though I know there's no limit to how well we can do. Whenever I review my work at the end of the day, I just felt that ' I should have done this, I should have done that' or ' I didn't do much or well enough today' . Ivy gave a very strong and sensible answer to me today when I complained to her about it. That studying is not JUST about getting results. It is very true as the process is really what that is utmost important. Not that we can put results aside, but concentrating on the process will eventually bring you the desired resutls isn't? Well, what is LIVING when there's no LIFE in it? What is KNOWLEDGE if there is no INFORMATION in it? And what is WISDOM, if there is no KNOWLEDGE in it? Some of you might think its crap that I am saying, but it certainly make some sense to me.
I am feeling so tired now, slept for just a few hours for the past few days, think its time to take a break. Anyway, I will be going up to Manchester this Saturday, with the Singapore Society. Haven't had the time to relish the moment when they thrashed Chelsea's ass, right SONG? Weather has been getting really cold, but runs are still a must for me, just that now not so brave anymore to wear shorts and shirt; now wearing track pants and windbreaker. Always laughed at those people who wear track suits to exercise, now I finally know why.
Will update you guys again, meanwhile take good care please, look after one another; not just physcially, but emotionally too.
