:(

When little, insignificant drawbacks appear in my life, why am I always so easily upset or thrown into an emotional state of mind?

When the ends don't reflect the means,

Do I give more? Or do I just let these setbacks go and continue with the original game plan?

Confused and probably over-reacting,

What a fruitful day!

Today I managed to do a lot of things in such a short day:

I woke up at 9 and spent the whole morning reading GP notes and finishing a GP comprehension.
I then spent my afternoon at the NTU business library and completed 2 Bio papers 1's.
I came home and watched a bit of Rush Hour 3. Also caught a bit of Singapore Idol.
I next set work on doing a Math paper 2 which I stopped halfway cause I couldn't understand the answer to one of the questions.
After spending time on the web, I wrapped up my day by writing a new song.

A new song. Its been so long since I've managed to write one. Had so many tunes but no words to put them too. Finally, at long last, I've penned down a verse and a chorus. The inspiration came from something I've been thinking of doing for quite awhile but I couldn't see it working out. The song is about my musings on the matter, and what I can't seem to bring myself to do.

Sigh. Gotta continue thinking to myself about it. Maybe I'll reach a conclusion when I finish the song. Who knows? I certainly hope so though.

Its getting late. Full day of GP in school tomorrow.

Goodnight. (Or should I say good morning :P)

There is something to post about

I've just finished watching the movie 'P.S. I Love You' and I just had quote this line from the movie that really struck me.

"If we're alone, then we're all to all together in that, too"

~ Patricia, Holly's mother.

I find great solace in that line. Whenever I feel alone, I know that I'm not alone, but just among others who are feeling the same way, and I find great comfort in that.

The movie was good. Haven't watched a movie of that calibre since 'The Notebook'. Really hit the spot, this movie. Got that warm feeling back at the base of my stomach. Kudos to Cecelia Ahern for coming up with such an engaging and heart-warming plot. I was a little turned off initially when I realised that Holly's husband died. I felt that the story couldn't possibly end well anymore. Ah, but it did. It ended splendidly, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The movie did, however, leave me with unanswered personal questions:

How will I move on with my life if someone close to me does leave this Earth before I do? Will I crumble under the immense grief? Or will I pick myself up like Holly did in the film?

This I'll have to take awhile to figure out.

Off to bed then, gotta get up early for church tomorrow.

There's just nothing better to post about

This post is just going to be full of random stuff so bear with me.

I'm distracted. I want to do so many things, run down so many roads, when all I should be doing is studying. I need a goal, a clear aim to draw motivation and determination from in order to keep me on track. 4 weeks to the A's and I'm still looking for it...

I love GP tuition and lessons. I don't love GP homework and examinations. I find it so enjoyable to learn more about the current affairs and issues in the world around us. I also find it really engaging to be able to debate over numerous social conundrums around us. GP teaches us how to think critically and I like that.

I'm in need of a good movie. No. I'm in dire need of a good movie. I somehow have this urge to feel the warmth in your stomach when a movie ends well, just the way you want it to. Oh well, I'm going to watch one. I heard 'P.S. I Love You' is good. Films based on books have seldom disappointed. Its settled then. I'm going to watch it now on DVD.

Goodnight.

I am,

Mobile Phone Theory

Wrap your head around this theory.

There are two types of people in this world. The people who influence others, and the people who are influenced by others. To put it simply. The people who live their own lives, and the people who live their lives based on others.

I have a theory. My hypothesis is that we can tell these two people apart by seeing how they behave around their mobile phones. If you must have your mobile phone beside you at all times and you reply messages immediately after you receive them, you live your life based on others. Hovering above your phone, replying and reacting instantly to the words of others shows that you live your life through the lives of others and that you are affected by whatever they do in their lives. On the flip side, if you are the type of person who loses your phone often and only makes an effort to dig for it when you've got something to say to someone, you're the type of person who lives your life. You friends complain that you take forever to reply but you don't give a hoot, its your life, and you're gonna live it your way, by your own rules.

Well, this is just a theory. I'm sure you'll be able to spot fault lines in my hypothesis but hey, its my life and I'll it the way I wanna. You ain't gonna shape the way I think. LOL:)
