"Never talk defeat. Use words like hope, belief, faith, victory." -with courtest of Positive Thinking Every Day by Norman Vincent Peale-

Like what Jeremy (me an active surfer of ur blog too~ ;)) said , really like the way how Reuben (do not let your ego inflate too much! :P) puts it as up instead of down when he completes a paper. Positive feeling is good and at times like this, it is going to pull you through no matter how hard the going seems. Everyone out there jia you oh! The most left 1 more week only! We can do it de!!! (:

"Action is worry's worst enemy." -with courtesy of The Oxford Dictionary of Phrase, Saying, and Quotation-

Haha, actually I think this is more for me ba. But nevertheless find it quite helpful thus shall share. Sometimes we worry so much that we do not dare to do anything, like worrying yourself sick over a hard module. However, I think if we take some action towards the module like make notes or do practice papers, somehow or rather it makes things better isn't it? :)

"The path to accelerating and enjoying the learning process requires us to see success and failure as equally instructive and valuable." -with courtesy of Lessons from the Art of Juggling; How to Achieve Your Full Potential in Business, Learning and Life by Michael Gelb and Tony Buzan-

Hey hey hey, know that there are some people amidst us who have finished one or more papers for their final examinations. And also know that it wasn't as pleasant as thought, the feeling of failure is just too demoralising. I know how it feels too! But do not see it as a total failure, pick yourself up, learn from it and move on like I did! (: Jia you jia you jia you!!!

"Deep down inside of all of us is the power to accomplish what we want to, if we'll just stop looking elsewhere. " -with courtesy of "Technology can't substitute for good attitude" by Harvey Mackay, Arizona Republic, December 19, 1999-

We all have the power to overcome this trying period in preparation for the final examination papers which will determine our CAP and in term determine our future which some will say. Therefore, concentrate on the notes/readings/textbooks/lecture notes/tutorial exercises/webcasts in front of you!!! Do not look/think about other things! Let nothing distract you! 100% focus when studying BUT of course do not forget to take breaks once in a while oh! (: Everyone press on! Around 2 more weeks only!!! ^-^

"Enthusiasm releases the drive to carry you over obstacles and adds significance to all you do." -with courtesy of Norman Vincent Peale "Positive Thinking Every Day"-

Shall use this quote to motivate me on to do my revision for the rest of my papers. Hope that it does motivate you when you read it too! Enthusiasm man! We can do it! Less than one month to liberation!!! Now to lunch and then later back to my mugging~! If I believe I can, I can. (:

Today was my 1st paper for Year 2 Semester 1. I am speechless as I think history is so going to repeat itself. I hate this. I guess I can only attribute it to my last minute preparation, I can blame no one but myself. Life sucks but life goes on. It's ok, I will just pick myself up and move on. Shall not let my other papers' preparations be affected by my stupid 1st paper. Everyone else jia you ok? ^-^ We can do it de!!!

Haha, today is a happy day because I got the song which I heard on Monday! It is called 戏梦 and it is sang by 林志颖 somemore!!! My favourite star in the past, he's cute! I know got people say he's ugly, not good-looking etc but I don't care. :D Totally love the lyrics also! You all must read it below! Haha. Anyway, thanks Bit for sending me the song! Haha, you always send me songs but this is the one I love most by far. :P Thanks lots lots lots!!!

昨天华山论剑 今天决战京城
原来世界竟然这么小
去年你是天王 今年我是至尊谁
是谁非谁又能分清
飞来飞去 飞过人群飞上云霄看我多逍遥
爱来爱去 今天爱你明天爱她到底谁爱我
他们说人生一场梦又何必太计较
青春正年少我应该大声笑
岁月如飞刀它刀刀催人老
再回首天荒地老
他们说人生一出戏又何必太认真
生旦净墨丑我统统扮一回
谁扮谁像谁我扮谁又像谁
别忘了下次再会

The Pachelbel Canon with Ocean Sounds rocks to the maximum man!!! It is so freaking nice to blast it when mugging about things that is troubling you as it just calms you down! Love it man! Thanks May! :)

Was listening to FM95.8 when I heard this very old but nice song, do not know what's the title or singer but 2 sentences in the chorus really struck a chord in my heart.

他们说人生一场梦，又何必太计较。
。。。
他们说人生一出戏，又何必太认真。

Today's my blogging spree day. Wahaha. :P

I love the rooftop of Central Library. Windy and quiet. Yeah!

"We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces which regret weighs tons." - with courtesy of Jim Rohn 'Vitamins for the Mind'-

Said that shall make an effort to make my blog more "chim" and content-rich so decided to post a motivational quote here at this point of time. Hope that after reading the short but powerful quote (in my opinion) you all will feel the urge and motivation to study for all your modules!!! Haha, sorry for being a bit de lame. Everyone jia you ok? It also serves as a personal reminder for myself too!!! :P

oh my oh my oh my... i just came to a realisation that i have a high possibility of not being able to finish revision for my 1st paper this coming Saturday and also my 2nd paper next Thursday!!! Shit shit shit!!! crisis crisis crisis.. stress stress stress.. i am suddenly overwhelmed by fear... i'm so deadmeat... goner... how now brow cow... help...

- I want to go up central library rooftop to shout at the top of my lungs for 20 seconds with one breath.
- I want to laugh so hard that my cheeks and stomach ache, so much that I am breathless.
- I want to be able to find people to mug effectively with me during this tough period before final exams.
- I want to be able to fulfil all the promises I made to myself earlier this semester.
- I want to be self-disciplined in whatever things I have decided to accomplish.
- I want to find my best friends once again.
- I want to complete all my revision on time.
- I want to make my own notes like I did in Year 1 Semester 1.
- I want to make things work out better for everyone.
- I want to go back to the good old days.

the higher your expectations, the greater your disappointments. this is one thing that is real true but also one lesson that somehow or rather people never learn their lesson from. making the effort is a lot, it really matters. i guess i cannot always take it for granted that people will make the effort i cannot expect people to make the effort just because they are friends. these thoughts are depressing, i did not ever want to think about it but when it is smacked right into your face, can i help it if it floods my mind?

Time really flies, now it is once again the time of the examinations. I cannot believe that another semester is coming so fast to an end when I have not really gotten used to my modules this semester as yet. I have not even touched the readings for most of my modules lah, seriously. Now is the time when I need to mug hard for my modules unless I want history to repeat itself as per last semester. However, being so used to studying in the clubroom with a bunch of people together with me proved to be my weakest point this time round. Things have changed, things are no longer the same, I cannot seem to find the people which I can mug in clubroom with already. It is no longer as stable and as comforting and as motivating anymore. So much so that I am upsetting my own body clock. How I miss the days whereby I can mug continuously for days and things just go in instead of getting repelled out of my brain. How I miss the days whereby I can mug with people and feel the emotional support that we give one another as our paper nears. Once again, I have come to realise the harsh reality of life: Change is the only constant.

I am shocked at the standard of service in hospital now, I cannot really believe that this is the standard which we are having despite demanding quality service everywhere. It made me realise, other than very obvious emergency cases, the hospital cannot really be relied on already. Just hope they treat my brother better from tomorrow onwards.

Haha, suddenly feel like making my blog more intellectual from now onwards. Actually been contemplating on doing it for quite a long time already, so shall go ahead and follow my heart on what I feel that I want to do! (: Start with Chinese Text 1st, then next time do English one. ;) This book is quite nice and inspirational, even though sometimes the experiment and the lesson learnt a bit no link. :P

伽利略的自由落体实验
在十六世纪末，人人都以为重量大的物体比重量轻的物体下落得快，因为这是伟大的亚里士多德的观点。伽利略，当时在比萨大学不过是一个小小的讲师，但他经过长期、仔细的观察，得到的结论与公众的观点并不一样，于是他大胆地向公众观点发起挑战。有一天他召集了很多人，然后从比萨斜塔上同时扔下一轻一重的两个物体，让大家亲眼看到两个物体同时落地，证实了大家的感觉是错误的：事实上，轻重不同的物体，在同样的条件下，就会同时落地。伽利略向世人展示了尊重科学而不畏权威可贵的精神。

实验感悟：“凡事都有两面性，权威不一定都是对的。很多时候，科学就是在向权威的挑战中取得突破的。我们所要做的就是站在前人的肩膀上，不断地累积知识和经验，取得进步和突破。
这个实验告诉我们，在任何时候，都不要妄自菲薄，你永远不要以为自己比谁差，有些人看起来比你强很多，其实在同样的条件下做同样的事情，他也未必就比你做得好。在这个社会上，每个人的潜能都是无限的，只要你能找到发挥的舞台，你就能做出一番事业来。”

Therefore, believe in yourself! You can if you believe.

The only one. Sometimes it means good, sometimes it means bad. Sometimes it is good, sometimes it is bad. Sometimes you get the fame, sometimes you get the shit. Being the sole person means you get all the things, all the good things and all the bad things. All coming to you, one person...

Sometimes really hate it when I keep wondering and thinking about what other people will say about the things that I did, doing or will do. Totally disgusted with myself being overly concerned and obsessed about it, so much so I feel I am getting quite paranoidal. This shall be one thing that I need to work on, not to care about what other people think so long you feel that you have done the best thing to the optimum of your ability. You can never satisfy everybody right not? However, the society sometimes allow no room for mistakes. I am thinking nonsense once again, must be the stress from the exams catching up on me. I hate having high expectations of myself, I am a human not a god. sianz.

Haha, I feel loved this week! This is because my mummy have been coming to school to take care of me and to give me massage so that I can recover as fast as possible. It is when I am sick and weak and vulnerable, then I miss home terribly. How I wish I can go home every single day and be showered with parental love. To think that I thought I had grown up and do not need such tender loving care from my parents. How wrong I am. It is only now that do I realise I still long for my parents care & concern as much as I do when I was young. I was like smiling to myself while walking to YIH to meet my mummy today lah! Goodness gracious, I did not know that I am still capable of behaving like little girl. Though I should not indulge in such behavior (I am no longer a kid!), I just cannot help but look forward to my mummy's next visit. :P
