I am 2 weeks away from my first paper

And. I have not studied.... And I don't really feel like, because everyday I feel so worn out, grumpy and sometimes I really feel like giving up.

But I remember that it is always easier to give up than to keep going, but there's no guarantee that the easy way through life is the best way.

I also remember that life is precious and I only have one life to live, one life to chase my dreams before I die and leave this world.

SOOO.. Just to cheer myself up,I shall put a quote here, one that Zac prepared for Shing and which I shamelessly ripped from:

Happiness keeps you sweet,
Trials keep you strong,
Sorrow keeps you human,
Failure keeps you humble, success keeps you glowing...
But only faith and attitude keeps you going...

And of course, there is always my family and friends who keep me going when I feel like giving up.....

JIAYOU, DIA!!!

My internship

Today, I went down to sign some papers and I had a chance to talk to my supervisor and the HR personnel.

They said I may start as soon as early early May, and from what I hear, there is a chance that my first time meeting with my fellow colleagues will be in the airport. But of course, its not confirmed yet. I may or may not get to go so soon/at all.

I am looking forward to the internship, I hope I will fare well during my time there.

A random point, but I think I would really like to do away with the sugar free mints. This is because my friend says its causing:

Dr Impairment loss on brain cells (for me)
Cr Intelligence

Then another smart aleck said:

Nono, intelligence is a liability for D. And another said that the mint should be a contra asset account.

Well I really don't know, but I think I can just write off the impaired brain cells. You know, our brain cells do reproduce and regenerate right? As long as growth is normal and not cancerous, I will be fine.

In anycase, I am parting with $3.30. Does anyone think their Intelligence is high? I can offer you, FOC. :)

Oh and silly bro. Cos you went back on your word, YOU HAVE TO HELP ME BRING MY BOOKS BACK! Its heavy can?? But then that's cos I am lagging in all my cores..... Sigh.. My weekend is so burnt..... *grumbles*

I realise now that when people say you shouldn't judge too soon, they are right.
A lot of times, I forget to look at the bigger picture and evaluate myself before I judge. There is outward attribution as all I do is to defend my self-centred self.

I've seen the kindness in Mr Soon, how he always tries his best to make me learn. Even though he scolds and gets irritated by me, I know he is doing it for my own good. It is heartwarming when he asks questions about whether I have eaten or not when he calls to remind me of our next lesson. I like it when we talk in the car, mainly about school, and I actually like to listen to his grandfather tales about the older Singapore.

I really disliked going for classes during the last few times when I was preparing for my first driving test, as he was very strict and said many awful things. After failing the test, I know that the problem is really with ME. I am not sure of what I am doing most of the time; it is good that I get it right, and just too bad when I don't.

I still do that now, and I really find it hard to remember roads. I am really inept at these kind of things. I am bad at estimation, siam-ing taxi uncles who pull stunts, reading traffic lights and so much more.

Therefore the point of this post is... Dia, its ok if you fail. Just DONT commit the same mistakes you did, at least do that much.

And of course, the other point is... Driving is just a small part of your life. There is so much more to it.

So even if you dislike losing, failure is fine and don't beat yourself up too much about it.

Now.. its time to study for the quizzes.... Jan im starving, and this place is freezing me.. so come soon...

Yr 2 Sem 2

I just want to say that..... I CANT BELIEVE MY ONE WEEK BREAK IS OVER!!!

I have been working hard, but I have not had anytime to revise/catch up with my work. (only like 2 days of the hols for slacking) Lets see, I have 202 case presentation on Mon, 213 report due on Wed, 201 research the next week, and all my quizzes either next week or the following week..

Isn't that great? And not to mention exams are 7 weeks from now. Hello?? How can that be??!! In the 7 weeks, I still have 2 more parts of my 213 report, 202 group presentation, 248 report + presentation, 201 report submission.

Dia, think positive positive.

At least I hope there is something to look forward to after the hols.....
Dear NTU, why won't you let me go for INSTEP?? Sigh.....
