When bad stuffs hit us

It is so easy to presume while your whole world has ground to an absolute halt, so has everyone else’s. But the trash collector will continue taking our garbage,  a week’s worth of mail will still be neatly stacked on the counter. Amazingly, life has gone on.

No matter how sucky things can be, life still continues. Even if you get into an accident, even when you lose a love one, even when your family comes apart, even when you are close to breaking down.

I learnt to stop wallowing in self-pity long ago. I will de-dramatize everything and take it coolly. I learn to keep going on.

My approach to it now is to fight back. The more shit life throws at you, the more you tackle them down. You can’t be defeated, buried and be swarmed in a pool of shit. Stand up and fight for yourself, your life.

Simply because no one else can do it for you.

pick yourself up

Sometimes when we touch.

And who am I to judge you

In what you say or do

I’m only just beginning

To see the real you

Thanks ting for the song. It’s so beautiful (:

hunger. poverty. disease

I just watched a TED video by Ory Okolloh about being an activist for Africa.

The personal stories of hers which covered these 3 areas makes me think for that continent too.

I realized that people become over-eager more than others who are cynical and jaded because of their environment. We are born to fight for what we’re worth while some have the silver spoon placed perfectly next to their mouths.

In the end, it is and will be a good thing. This lady broke out of poverty cycle, went to Harvard Law School and is leading the life she wants now.

I like what she says, ‘accountability stems from demand‘.

I work by facts & don’t play games

Abraham Lincoln once asked, ‘ If you call a horse’s tail a leg, how many legs does a horse have?’

He answered his own question correctly (in arithmetic sense), ‘Four. Calling the tail a leg doesn’t make it one.’

I might have random thoughts, love random jokes but I believe randomness could be factored into a structure. In this sense, I’m really not as creative as I hope to be ):

burning out

I’m beginning to feel the signs of fatigue. For this past 2 days, I couldn’t keep myself awake past 7pm.

I will feel so tired, as if it’s 2am, that I just go straight to my bed and knock out for 2 hours. I’m awake now at 8.30pm, thinking ‘oh shit! still got a lot of work to do’.

I think I better sleep early tonight, so I can get up in the wee hours tmr morning and chiong.

*determined not to have a social life*

learning

my fav library so far -Cambridge's library

Look at it this way:

you’re going to school to do what makes you happy, so why be miserable?

I might not be the best in whatever I’m doing now. But it makes me happy. I realized I light up whenever I talk about stuffs I have quite a good understanding of. I love academic discussions (it probes me further and test my knowledge of it). If only local libraries are as old, spacious and well-decorated to create that ambience of ‘discovering another world of knowledge’ and the importance of LEARNING rather than studying.

Even local term of studying is ‘mugging’. Totally shows the hostile competition and uncultured study culture.

OMG. I FREAKING MISS THIS.

My FAVOURITE childhood show. Every Saturday morning.
