Was a good day. I have yet to finish cleaning up my laptop. but by tonight. YES tonight! I will finish cleaning my lappy. He deserves it. =D Am half way through. Cleaning the keyboard is really a bit of a lot of job. (if u did it b4.. ya..) I'm almost done with the "getting" of a video! wao!! Been waiting so long for it to finish "getting". So yea.. looking forward to it.. Love those kinda sports vid.
Just back from class.. Haha.. The lecturer for Singapore Company Law (Foreign lect) is really good.. As in, she is not as boring as i expected. She's slow and steady i guess. Felt comfortable. But the feeling that aroused from last sem's chao-pia-ing to complete Commercial law.. just kinda got into me.. Well.. its tough last sem. I considered this a mod that i have a high chance of failing.. so i put alot alot of effort into it. Managed to scarpe a credit. So yea.. this sem, gotta start like real early. And start to get into the groove early. I wanna do well. DI for Singapore Company Law this sem! The other two module wanna get 2 HD!! Goal is to maintain my gpa at 3.0 and above =D Jia You!
As i am taking Part Time Degree from this semester onwards (7pm-10pm) I was thinking of taking up a diploma course in NYP - Physiotherapy. Still pondering over the prospect of that. I mean this sem it was changed into a part time degree because we are suppose to go out to work in an accounting setting. Which i have conveninetly side-stepped. I don't think there are consequences. (Gotta go find out..) And i guess another thing i need to find out of the potential of a clash of exam dates. SO yea... ALot of things to find out, at the same time gotta mug hard and find a job. haha..
Just finished watching the show "7 Pounds" which i watched just afew days ago. It's 'chu 2' of the chinese calendar, and i am watching this kinda show. kinda wrong timing. But i am really touched. I felt like i was being slapped in my face afew times.
Here's the sypnosis: Once, Tim Thomas (Will Smith) was a gifted aerospace engineer with a beautiful wife and a lovely beach house. Then, while using his cell phone while driving, his car wandered across lanes and he became responsible for the deaths of 7 others, including his beloved wife. Unable to forgive himself or raise the dead, Tim sets out to give "pounds of flesh" that will give new life to seven deserving individuals to make up for the seven lives he destroyed. Just as Antonio would have to die to pay Shylock the "pound of flesh" he demands, Tim intends to kill himself to atone for his sins. His brother Ben (Michael Ealy), who works for the IRS, is deeply concerned about his state of mind. Tim steals his brother's IRS ID to access the IRS database and to find and meet people who he believes worthy of his gifts which includes body organs and material possessions. Holly Apelgren (Judyann Elder), Ezra Turner (Woody Harrelson), Connie Tepos (Elpidia Carrillo) and Emily Posa (Rosario Dawson) are among those whom he identifies to help. Furthermore, Tim assumes his brother's identity of "Ben Thomas" to personally investigate these people and verify that they are indeed the right people he should help. He has a plan for when he identifies his 7 beneficiaries that requires his best friend Dan (Barry Pepper) to see that his wishes are carried out after he is dead. Tim's plan threatens to unravel when he begins to fall in love with one of the people he is trying to help.
I felt like crying, but didn't cry. This show is about giving. You know the difference between cold and hot. This show is extreme. As much as i choose to ignore and deny the fact that everyone's existence is fragile. As much as i tried to not think of death and its implications. This movie gave me a tight slap to my face. I'm pretty much awake again. I thank god and whoever that had made me watched this on chu yi night. It's a good year. And may everyone, i mean everyone live their life to their fullest. Enjoy everything; happiness, suffering, hardship, pain, betrayal, love, friendship, proudness... and the list continues.
I was just burning my videos i d/l-ed onto dvds and i came across rocky's video. It was inspirational, these two scences. So yea, decided to share it with everyone.
It puts alot of sense into a nut head like mine. So yea. Hope (the msg)it gets into many other nut heads like mine too. [refering to nut-headed readers out there like me.]
Never give up in life, believe in yourself. Gotta take the hit, and keep moving forward. It ain't gonna be easy.
Sometimes it's contradicting what i want in life ultimately.
To sum it up, a simple life.
Tsk..
But when i look at the list of things of what i envision myself doing...
Tsk..
It looks kinda ambitious.
Tsk..
Haha.. That's how my brain functions all the time.. tsk(Ss).. haha..
Then ultimately i'll just react in this way "Argh, whack la. Do it!"
It's unhealthy i guess. But thats what makes me ME.
I've tried to change myself for other people before.
And this word 'try' has a very deep meaning to me.
BECAUSE again.. of army and my dad.
It means 1-0-0% + many many more %
(Above characteristics apply to my bro too)
That is why i tend to take more falls than others.
That is why i tend to be more hurt than others when i am in situations.
That is why i tend to be more conditioned to tough situations in life.
I can basically just 'suck it up'(armyslang) and look unaffected,happy.
Things don't just fall into place for no reason.
Everythinghappensforareason But that does not mean i am not emotionally and mentally hurt.
Be nice.
Pushing the boundaries kinda come to me naturally. I hate it when i am not contributing,
cause that means i am needed elsewhere.
Cause there MUST be places in this world that needs me to be there.
One of the officers i respect said during 1 of the many battle plannings..
"Don't just sit around, there must be something to do."
"When there is nothing to do here, there is something that needs to be done
elsewhere. Make yourself useful."
It does sounds like orders to me then.. But after everthing, when i get time
during sleep hours to reflect. I kinda find that what he said made alot
of sense.. especially in life. And he doesn't just talk the talk,
but he walk the talk too. He practices it too.
So yea, we picked up this virtue subconciously.
It's a typical quality you'd discover in all (Ex)commandos you meet.
Back to yesterday!
Haha.. morning went to jog at hui li's neighbourhood.
She's an aristotle. Oh and with bit of owl's characteristics.
If you get what i mean.. ha..
So yea.. managed to have a good run.
I think my fitness is really deteriorating,
I'm like starting from ground zero. haha..
I can't even do a set of pt well after a short 15 mins run.
(20push ups x3, 20 counts of 4 flutter kicks, 60counts crunches, 20 count of 4 lunches.)
I can only imagine how weak i'll be when i go back to reservists. They'll really kill us la.
Gotta jia you!!
After bathing and all, went back to school and printed the notes for sem3.
SOmeHOw i feel that this sem is gonna be really tough even when it haven't started.
I need to study like this weekend. Don't wanna repeat the debacle i had last sem.
Gotta keep my GPA at 3.125 and above.
Next went to Aljunied to meet Penny Aaron JiaYi and Wendy for bbq prep! haha..
Class outing cum bday gathering. Love it! haha.. it's great to see all my mates again.
Had a great time in ECP celebrating the bday of Zhong Ren and Yann Liang.
Both my bros.
Actually i was concern with Yann Liang and my classmates that needa repeat some
of the modules. Hopefully they'll do well next sem!
Went home later together with Adam and Miao Xian.
The others stayed there till this morning.
Haha.. today will be more or less a slack day. Gotta do up alot of my admin stuff for
my volunteering pursuits and then if i am free, attend the SVC meeting.
Hope everyone in my class, in yv, in my list of friends that i care for..
Have a great weekend ahead! It's the first weekend of the year!
I was holding on to the party poppers, sitting on the concrete floor, leaning on the HDB's block's exterior. Everyone was so excited, the anxiety of welcoming the year was so raw. I could not stand up. I closed my eyes. Images of what i went through flowed back to me in that instance, I felt bitter, Kek sim, sad, terrible, heart ache, helplessness(Wu Nai), also felt relieved, happy, excited, loved, cared, responsibilities, proud.
I shared with my brother Mas how i felt about confessing to a girl i like. And how that altered part of my life. He said it's good. Regret is not at the door(At least).
I nodded, picked up my party poppers, & pulled the string. The string's out. No pops. Picked up another, pulled it. No pops. Again i tried.. no pops.
