Whatever

Nope, not that I don't care. 

But whatever you wanna do, you have my fullest support. I realize sometimes I've overreacted and acted selfishly on my part as well. If there's something you're really passionate about and interested in, I should be giving you my fullest support, instead of dampening the mood by pouring wet-blanket. And in any case, I do believe you have grown up at least enough to know what you want and what you can/cannot handle; so go on... I'll be behind you in whatever you choose to do!

Singapore Handicapped Society

I like how they presented the need for support from society in the simple commercial. Life is normal and perfect; and all that people, handicapped or not, need is a little civic-mindedness from the society. We don't even ask for constant awareness or much attention, just play your part as a responsible citizen...

Competition

Everyone tries to be the best; to gain an upper-hand; to get better bargaining chips; to outdo others; to win in everything......
Many times, we are all guilty; including myself.

Most of the times, we get hit back to reality.
There is nothing wrong with not being the best; and nothing wrong with that pursuit.
But is there anything wrong with losing?
Does it really matter, to let someone be the winner? While you be the better man.

Immature Innocence

I really don't know if it's a good or bad thing of yours;
I've been talking bout "next time" and telling you to learn from your mistakes, but you never do...
Time and again, you do things that make you unhappy, even when you are unwilling to do it; you just don't know how to say no.
Then you start regretting, and you start crying about it; when there really isn't a point anymore.

Then what about me? It doesn't only hurt you when you do things that make you sad;
you're just being selfish in hurting everyone else that cares about you.
I hate everyone that tries to exploit you; I hate you for not knowing what you should and should not do;
but I hate myself even more for not being able to knock sense into you.

I have given up, so much so that I don't even wanna talk to you about it anymore, for fear that I'm going to add on to your guilt.
Hopefully someday you'll grow up and start having the maturity to take responsibility of your actions.
Someday you're gonna grow up and make important decisions;
That day will come, and you cannot always be the kid that you are.

e(xtra)-Learning week

Scumbag lecturers giving essay assignments, long-ass "short" answer questions, and posting YouTube lectures by other professors from the other half of the globe...

What's worse, my 2-hour tutorial became a 3-day forum discussion. Eh hello sir/madam, I have got other modules leh, you think I only take 4MC every semester ah? And hello, some of you gave us all these work while you are not even active on the forum ("I will only comment at the end of the elearning week, and even then, I won't be commenting much")... So elearning becomes your holiday and our extra-learning week is it?!!!

And things got so bad that IVLE notification on my phone comes off EVERY SECOND! I have really no choice but to log out of it...

Thanks, haze; bird flu; dengue; hand-foot-mouth or what-not. I'm pretty sure NUS lecturers will cope well when you hit us; but I'm also pretty damn sure many of us will die of the heavy workload before you even have an impact.

Then again, I have friends that are doing all these with a sea-view in Bintan; awesome or what.

Every family it's own problem

Nothing's perfect I guess...

Ohana

Feels good to be back where I really belong, though I can hardly afford to...

Handicap

Why is it that we tear when we hear inspirational stories by the less-endowed/fortunate people who struggled through their life when it's meant to be a motivation. It's like we're pitying them when we should learn from them, or even feel envious or jealous when we hear them like we would if they were normal like us; its like, we're judgmental like we always are...

Who are the really handicapped ones?...

Escapade

Treasuring this temporary serenity
