change. and other random thoughts.

it's been a hectic few weeks. It is so very easy to lose track of time when work is piling up in a never ending stream. However, complain as i may, i do somewhat enjoy the bumble bee life that i am currently leading. There is always that odd sort of masochistic fulfillment that you get, when you finish an assignment, a lap report or a test after nights of night sleeping.

i like. =D

I have been leading the past few weeks of my life, very differently from the way i used to live them. In particular, i have been leading the past few weeks of my life differently from the way i lived them for the past 2 years. Go figure. Something has changed. Hmm, I am afraid to face up to the change actually; i'm unsure of where this current state of life is going to lead me. It's an apprehensive feeling- like stepping into the dark. There is a constant nagging worry at the back of my head, but i'm enjoying each new surprise so much that it is enough for me to ignore that voice. But no, i'm not turning emo over this. =D i just need some alone time, to think and sort things out with myself rationally, rather than emotionally.

Somebody asked me "what is the colour of jealousy?". i said "colourless" but i never really got to explain why. it's because jealousy blinds you. Good point to note and take home (so othello!).

Edwin's blog is one of my constant reads. It's very interesting to watch how he manges his life, because, he is one of those people i will label, as "people who took the road less travelled". And in all honesty, he is probably the only one who really deserves that label. =D keep going ed! =D I hope you'll succeed in all your ventures and endeavours. many cheers to you and your guts! I'll quote alice in wonderland "Yes, unfortunately you are (mad). Completely bonkers. But let me tell you a secret- all the best people are."

i recently bought 2 new books- "the tipping point" by malcolm gladwell, and "lovely bones" by ... somebody. (HAHAHA) Am starting on the fiction one first! =D I've almost forgotten how enjoyable it is to read, and lose yourself in the fictitious world buried between the pages of your book.

I am really glad that I finally can swim. =D haa, i really love swimming! I like the feeling of water rushing against your skin. it's like having a cool breeze sweep over you- except, you can control the "wind" in the water. i love the nice cool feeling of water against skin. i like it that in the water, you don't hear a thing. i love the way i come up gasping for air after a few laps in the pool. i love the way swimming helps to clear all the clutter from my head; in the water, i focus on the strokes, on breathing, and for the time in the pool i can forget about everything else. And when i surface from the pool, i can think more clearly. in essence, i really love swimming. =D

i am disgusted with the state of my body. =D (this reminds me of ili. LOL, during one of those days when i was feeling down and pissed off, she sent me a very random "i feel abit fat. free to gym?" and put a smile on my face immediately. thanks dude. =D) so yes, i'm finally starting to gym and jog and swim regularly. =D i have a personal goal: to take part in a full marathon before i graduate from nus. =)

Somebody asked me before, why im always sneaking peeks at people when im outside. That got me thinking a bit. I don't know. But i do know, that if you observe hard enough, everyday around you, many good things are happening. I think it's important that once every so often, we need to take a good look at life, and realise that there are many small things in life that makes it great. Look at the babies, full of life. couples- of love. students- able to go to school. groups of secondary kids- friends and joy (because i always get reminded of my own times in bpghs =D). Many many many more. One day, when you are feeling stressed up and unhappy, promise that you will try to focus on looking at life, and find these small things that makes life great. And cheer yourself up from there. Because life is worth living. =)

ok, i think this shall conclude my very random post of thoughts running through my mind. =D till next time!

Recluse

Once every so often, I like to withdraw into myself and shut out the world- whimsically. Just stop talking. No real reasons. Not really the first time. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps, this is a part of me that needs some getting used to. Perhaps, the people who knows me, knows this happens. Perhaps, the people who do, doesnt exist. Perhaps i'm wrong- Perhaps this is selfish. But once, just once, every so often- i'd like to claim my leave from social behaviors. Just once every so often, i'd like to disappear. Take the phone off the hook- for ages. -I'm sorry though, if my habits hurt. And i do so appreciate the concern too. But, like my daddy says: ourself knows best. sk

this is really bad.

I have officially lost interest in sleep. (Or work, for that matter.) Came across an old blog post where i did this huge list of personality tests and decided to do sth immensely useless: hahha THEN & NOWW! XD so here we go, really quick! 1) THEN: Your Brain is 47% Female, 53% Male Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female You are both sensitive and savvy Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve What Gender Is Your Brain? NOW:  Your Brain is 67% Female, 33% Male Your brain leans female You think with your heart, not your head Sweet and considerate, you are a giver But you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you! 2) THEN:   You Are Pretty Logical You're a bit of a wizard when it comes to logic While you don't have perfect l...

End of exams.

i don't feel much about the end of exams actually- i guess that is a signal that perhaps i didn't work hard enough and build up the hunger for relaxation while mugging, hence i don't feel the surge of relief. Ah- i miss that feeling much actually. next sem will be a better sem. YES IT WILL BE. -------------------------- Preceptorship will commence on the coming Monday. I am rather excited about it, and I look forward to a time of learning and actually applying the knowledge that i have learnt in school. I believe if you ever meet a pharmer undergrad, you will hear the same unanimous complain about how there doesn't seem to be a meaning in doing what we are doing. How it feels like we are simply dead memorising the cold, hard, facts. How we all disagree with the system and feel that university education should be about thinking- and how it's been a long time since we last did more of that. For me, the curriculum has honestly entrenched certain doubts in this career p...
