i pity the ns guys. at nearly 12 midnight on a saturday, they are still shooting at the firing range. but it is much softer now. i felt like i lived in iraq a few hours ago. living next to the firing range is not cool.

i pity myself. at nearly 12 midnight on a saturday, i just managed to finish 3 chapters of my easiest module. i am pathetically slow. i want to watch tv la...nvm...can ask ard about what happened. how come ntu don have the tv thing...so i don have to go all the way down to watch...sian...

sometimes, all you need is a quiet night and a still heart to appreciate good songs. this reminds me of a story i heard long time ago.

A farmer had lost his watch in a barn and no matter how hard he tried, he could not find it. tired, he decided to ask the kids to help him. he told the kids that he would give them a penny if any of them found the watch. Attracted by the reward, the kids turned the barn upside down and they still couldnt find the watch. since they couldnt find the watch, the farmer decided to dismiss them. after dismissal, one of the kids came back and asked for another chance to look for the watch. the farmer gave the kid another chance. within a minute, the kid came out from the barn with the watch. amazed, the farmer asked the kid how did he managed to find it. the kid replied," the barn was quiet, so i listened out for the ticking of the watch, and followed the sound to find it."

sometimes, when we are lost, we need some quiet time to search for the ticking of our heart to know what we actually want, what our priorities are. with that, we will be able to see our directed path.

i am going to embark on a new stage of life---mugging life. finally cleared all my projects a few hours ago(unless i wish to count the presentation tmr ) phew...it's finally all over. anyway, to all those that have worked with me, thanks alot. i think you guys are really nice, helpful and i am glad to have you guys in my group. whether or not we get good grades at the end of the day, it was the process that counts, and all the digressing stuff we had talked about during meetings. haha. =)

anyway, to my mundane and project-filled life, i had some happy days..latheya outing a week ago, kbox with xin and rebec joiing us after that last sunday, minglei coming to ntu to visit me, movie and shopping with adrienne yesterday...haha, like adrienne says, these were the highlights of my life. =) i would haave died in stress if not for all these. anyway, i was being philosophical the other and i came up with this. " stress and workload a re correlated but they are not directly proportional. it depends on how you handled it" =)

so jia you peeps, hopfully i even have the time to blog within these 2 weeks.

i just realised that my schoolhas this damn nice corner that is super under utilised. this is damn sad....but don't worry. i am going to use it more thAN often from now on.

let's bitch about my life today in school. i am damn bitchy. we had teacher evaluation and guess wad i did. I guess i dont have to elaborate further.

i guess being bitchy isnt very good coz there arent so many things in life to bitch about anyway...maybe it's just a recent thing, that things in life are getting better. maybe it's because i meet less people. well, another objective of my blog would be to praise. i want to praise my ever wonderful brother for being such a fanatic sun yanzi's fan. he got the album on the first day of release. so lucky me, got to hear it...placed all the songs in my mp3 player and the ten songs had never stopped playing...well, i guess like some of her albums, " a perfect day" takes some time to sink in as well. they din captivate me once i started listening to it, but a few more rounds of it made it better. actually i din think it was very good, coz the songs are more meaningless. i liked her touching songs like "kai shi dong le" and "tong lei". but most of the songs are very lighthearted and it lifts your spirits. i liked honey honey, it's damn cute....it also gives the innocent feel...overall i think the album is not as good, but neither is it bad...

more bitching today. i've got this really chio girl in my school....and she is so pretty that i cant stop looking at her. haha, luckily she was in my tutorial group and that was one of the better presentations i have ever seen. seriously, how can anyone look so pretty? moreover, she is a really nice person, there was once when i had to make a presentation and i was so nervous. guess what she told me? she said, " if you are scared, look at me and i'll smile at you." wa...super touched lor. then because of her, i have decided to smile at my friends whenever they are making presentations.

then there was this really nice girl to with whom i left my file in her room, i was quite scared coz my sunday school wksheet was inside, then she immediately checked it for me....ya, thank god it was found...so there are still nice pple ard, well this world is rather balanced, just don step on my toes.

hi all, i'm so happy that i 've successfully reduced the readership of this blog. one reason is because i'm stressed up by school work, another reason is that i feel like bitching about so many people( i mean in uni) that i really have to first stop them from coming here. but if you happen to be reading this and is from my uni...maybe you might not want to come here. my target audience is my old friends.

so ya, i have a test in 2 hours time. stressed up. and i was reading about guidelines to effective communication. one of which is don't claim understanding or speak up for the person, which i thought was quite true. i used to know someone who always claims " see how much i understand you" and that's no wonder i still dislike the person so much. this person has got no respect for me and diminish my character by saying that because how can the person understand without going through what i have gone through? i totally agreed with what the textbook said.
then i start to reflect if i have ever done so, cant remember though, but it doesnt mean i have never done so. the misconception is that people tend to say "i understand" just wishes to acknowledge your feelings. well, according to self-serving bias, this applies to me and the above applies to the person i disliked. and to whoever i had offended by saying " i understand", please don't take it to heart, i wasnt in communication major then.
