Christmas

I've been thinking, re-thinking, stopped thinking, deconstructed and started thinking again. But still- i don't understand. It came as a surprise, and to be honest, i'm most freaked because i didn't see it coming, and i don't understand to the detail: why? the worse is that i thought i ought to understand. I don't really know what to say about this- perhaps nothing. perhaps i'm too conservative, perhaps. but i really don't understand. josh, if you're reading this, haha, your "slap in the face" prompted me to this. haha.. it's like a slap in the face cus i really thought i knew this someone, and now all of a sudden, i think that has been challenged. A lot. My fault perhaps, perhaps i knew and understood lesser than what i thought i did. perhaps i was over-confident. Perhaps i did have some understanding once, but perhaps its wrong to assume that people have a static mind and character. Perhaps i should have kept in touch more. Perhaps then i would understand. perhaps. I'm going in rounds, but really, the event itself isn't necessarily a bad thing. i just- don't understand. and it disturbs me.

----------------------------------------

had our usual christmas gathering recently. i had a really good time cus it felt like we havent met up in ages! and PAM! :) seeing pam was so nice. haha.. i miss her logic, quick wit, and her different take to most everything. :D later that night though, josh invited another friend over. i think it's just me, but that felt strange. (no, this is not an online affront cus i dont dare to do it in person. haha.. im just airing my armpits hahah :D) the atmosphere was just different to me. it felt like the addition was slightly altering the dynamics of the group. but perhaps it's just me. i had thought that i would be completely alright with it, but well. hmm. i guess I've been accustomed to coming back to the group to take comfort in our constancy; the quiet, familiar feel in our gatherings always sets things right for me. so i confess that the change did unnerve me a little. haha, i guess i wasn't as friendly as i normally would be. but this led me to think about the times when i joined my friends' cliques as an outsider. perhaps they felt the same way too. hmm. not that it's a bad thing though. teething problems, i say. from experience i'd say things get more vibrant, fun and interesting after we/I get over this phase. We all gotta learn to grow up, share, or let go of our old toys one day. but yes, to that, i think im human too- this petty, selfish, xenophobic heart of mine.

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...

Limited time

We all have limited time on this Earth,  and a limited 24 hours in a day. What you choose to pack into that 24 hours, will decide what your life portrait will look like at the end of your road. (Yes, I think a lot about the end of the road nowadays.) I was just thinking to myself yesterday, if i applied the "rise of the guardian" concept to myself, what would my core be? I had wanted it to be love. I had thought that love shouldn't be limited. I had thought, that I would be able to dedicate a certain share of love to all the people in my life, who needed the care at the point in time when they do. I had thought, that my heart should be big enough to welcome as many people in as possible. Because ultimately, at the end of my road, I want to breath my last breath smiling, knowing that I have made a difference to people. I had thought that was possible, but i forgot that while my heart can be limitless, my time can't. In trying to be everybody's friend, I have fa...

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...
