itouch!!

Got my itouch yesterday ^^





Looks like my wish list are almost all done...for now at least. 21" monitor left. Probably next month...





Other than that, only 2 things are left on my wishlist....yup A lvls and university.





For so long, I thought my interest was in engineering and mathematical. But recently, I'm starting to enjoy sociology and anthropology...the study of human behaviors and how they interact with each other seems to appeal to me alot. Psychology is also another subject I would like to major in...






SO CONFUSED NOW!!






Anthropology Sociology Psychology or Engineering??? T.T





Thats why things are never remaining constant...I thought for the last 5 years that I was gonna take a engineering course in university or even a poly, but now my mindset has changed again....






Anyway went out with fl,leo, von and aaron yesterday. Didn't really buy anything else except my itouch. It was until I stepped into Bugis Junction, that I realized I haven been to Bugis Junction for ages...it was always Bugis Street and the guan yin miao..but never really stepping into Bugis Junction.





Continuing on, CT results came in. Even though I didn't sit for it la, but I think it really has been a wake up call. I myself know that if I were to sit for the papers, I would be getting the same or maybe even worst grades than my friends. I guess after all the lecturing from the teachers we have finally woken up? Mr Hon gave a particularly impactful speech though....not bad for a teacher who just joined the class =P Mr Andrew also gave another powerful speech. But in the end, I guess it all falls to us. The ball is already in our court. All it takes is for us to take the first step and grab the ball, before someone elses come and snatch it away.





First week of school past like a breeze. My first week in school since my op. I guess I really need catching up. So much going on at the same time, to the extent that u wished everything could just stop for a second for you to sort your thoughts out...maybe thats is why I'm writing this post..to take a breather and sort out everything. Sometimes the temptation is there to just throw in the towel...but I guess thats just a flight mechanism...when you are irrational. These little outbursts here and there mayb the body way of coping with the many problems we are facing...





Im sorry for writing all these stuff here sia...but theres like no where else to write. I guess this blog is becoming a place where I go to sort things out and stuff.


Long gone were the days of blogging about wow and games. I still remember I made this blog to write about the stories in WoW, daily happenings, all these happy and carefree stuff.




But ever since stepping into j2, I have barely touched those now...perhaps the occasional games when I just bought my ps3/wii/xbox360. But after that, it is just left there staring back at me. I believe I am not the only one who is having these feelings. After reading justin and a few other blogs, all of them are having problems coping with j2 also. The pressure on us to do well compared to O lvls is just tremendous. Because we all know. This is the exam that may very well decide our whole life.





It is approximately 8 months to the A levels, and 4 more months to investiture. These are a few of the many milestones in my jc life I guess. Events that could change your mindset, attitude and even your life.





I guess it's at times like these, when the going gets tough, that friends really do help. A simple thing like helping each other with your work, or even just casual chatting on MSN, to listening to their problems and giving them your honest opinions. Simple stuff that could make a difference. Thankfully, I have lots of good friends who I know will be there when I need help and who knows that I will be there for them when they are having troubles =)






OH..Happy Easter everyone!! Hope u enjoyed your good friday!!





Looks like I lightened up quite abit from the start of this post =P

Haiz....

Didnt think that I would be back to blog so fast...


Haiz....2 of my closest friends are at loggerheads at each other, and I can't do anything about it.

Feel so helpless...

It really sucks to just sit at the side and watch the whole thing worsen over time...and u can't do anything about it....

Some people say, time heal all wounds. But is that really true? Would time still be able to heal all wounds when time is limited??

And so its over!!

Anyone still visiting this dead blog??

Haha..it has been a long time since I last wrote something in here...

Well orientation is finally over. All the time and efforts have finally paid off. Yesterday during de-brief, Mrs Tan mentioned that orientation will be the event that will let us learn alot of things from it, and that it will be the last time we would look back at it, until the day we go out to work. Where even a small error is unacceptable. Thats just a fact that I find it hard to accept. Maybe I still have not realized the magnitude of the working world. Everytime I head into this topic with jw, I will end up arguing with him over it. But maybe what he said does make sense, because even Mrs Tan is emphasizing on it.

But is making a mistake really that serious to the extent that one would have to be sacked from the job? Take the Mas Selamat escape. Does the minister really need to resign from his job? This has been what me and jw were arguing about almost everytime we went to discuss about this topic. But each time, I can't seem to see the magnitude and seriousness of this small mistake. Maybe I really need to experience the harsh reality of the working world before I could ever understand.

During be-brief cheryl also gave a speech about the unity of our council. What she said did make alot of sense. We been together as a council for almost 6 months. Through this course of time, friendships developed. But at the same time, enmity. Friendship soured and took a turn for the worst. Naturally, cliques started appearing over time. I mean this is acceptable, but does it really have to go the extent that people have to start avoiding each other because of some differences we have? Is it really so hard to bury the hatchet, and be friends all over again. Maybe it is just me, but I am not one who really bear grudges. Its normally forgotten pretty quickly. I mean, it doesn't mean I am like good-natured or anything. But all it takes is a little bit of tolerance and understanding towards each other.

There are many problems that we would never understand. Problems that are unique to individuals. So why is it so hard to spare them some slack, and try to reach a compromise instead of bulldozing your way through it, with everyone ending up unhappy. Maybe all they need is a bit more time? Or even a simple thing like providing a listening ear. These small actions may appear insignificant. But u never know the effects they could create.


Overall, orientation has really been fun, maybe its because of my long absence from school.

Now that one of our largest event has past. The next milestone ought to be investiture, followed closely by A levels. And soon it will too, be over.
