point of view in the morning

til the end of this week at least :)

my whining's mine and mine alone!

or is it?

well today i must say is quite interesting, my campus friend pointed out to me that he read my blog last nite. my initial reaction was of course flattery because he actually bothered to read all the craps and whinings i wrote *yes yes i WHINE so what?* but i came to realize that some of the things i jotted down are quite personal - more of a private note, or is it?

why do i start this blog anyways? it started out as a some kind of electronic diary but as time goes by i realized that these blogs actually help not only yourself but also others i suppose. it's nice to know some people feel just as dumb as you are, experience the silly embarrassing moment as you do, think as unnecessarily complicated as you do? i think no matter how much a person strive to be "special" and different, inside there is this longing to relate to some other people. at least i do :p

i must say i have shared my share of grin, laugh, frown, annoyed, raised eyebrow moment with some other blogs my friends keep and probably i would hope that mine might have the same effect as those people. yes, mr lumos i still read your blog and i think you whine more than i DO! HAH! see, it's a good feeling to know that someone is worse off than you are :D

the friend who read my blog today told me that he wouldn't put his blog anywhere public or even tell his friends about it *IF he has one quote unquote, mmm do YOU have one, mr ocg?*i even wanted to take down the link because i thought some of the matters i wrote was too *ahem* private but i suppose my blog will be my blog. an open "book" for you to read if you want to or something to criticize if you disagree. it IS my journey after all, anyone who wants to join my quest is of course more than welcome :)

today i learn to be grateful

this feels weird...for years i've wanted to continue my studies here *the supposed "abroad"* and as i'm walking, parting the night serenity i realized i'm living my "dream". the dream to compete internationally. and this moment i pause, i take a moment. just a second to enjoy the breeze in the dark. coz i feel so thankful. so thankful and grateful to be given the chance.

hello~~ singapore!!!

kinduv late huh?

no i didn't really run up and down kissing the ground when i reached this "fine" country. well come to think of it, it's not as "fine" as i used to think it was. for starters people here actually jaywalk, something uncommon about 5-6 years ago? or maybe it's the mindset? i was naive then.

i wonder whether my hope to further my knowledge or so called investment is also a naive thought i have and i've been holding on to it way too long. whatever it is, now is not the time to ponder about it.

there are two things that intrigued me:
1. how am i going to get a GPA of 4.0 (that is a B+ for every subject thankew beri mud) in this first semester in order to secure the "award"
2. singapore is the only place where the policemen are heavily perfumed (THEY ARE!!!hhahaahaha)

cia yu to myself i guess :p
