Ironic

There's always seems to be things that one can or can't do. When people say live life to the max , or live life full, what do they really mean?

On the contrary, living life to the fullest means there will be sacrifices to be made. For example, if you saying travelling around the world would made your life full, where will the money comes from? Your parents? Your savings? If it is so, what will happen to your future if you did travel around the world? It'll take at least 3 months (i presume) and what will happen to work?

Much to my dismay, I'm one of those that believe living life to the fullest means travelling to places you've never been. I've been a fan of culture since World Civilization classes was introduced in high school. I'd love to chart the whole world's culture if someone would just give me the chance and money. I'd love to backpack to India, trekking in Nepal, sight seeing in Europe, fancy myself with tech-gadgets in Japan, sun-bathing in Rio , to actually try out "Big Apple" in Big Apple and more!

To add to the heat, i actually love to write. Almost as much to everything i've seen, heard and tasted. What changed me? Why, i took a Physics major cuz it had better prospects (according to my siblings). I turn down a pilot-course offer by MAS just so i could take care of my mom. I chose to stay around to be able to take care of things.

I must've looked like i'm giving myself excuses. But believe me, i for one, hate to mention my own shudda-woudda-couddas. But well, in the end, living life to the fullest is very subjective. At least thats what i want to think. :)

Lame Fame

I don't understand

why people search for quotes to put into their shoutbox, blogs or msn.

You can't think of anything else?

Being original doesn't mean you'd have to copy.rite?

and having quotes doesn't really show that you're smart.

just plain vain.

sigh..

I just dont get it.

Be yet wiser

Knowing the "me" now, one could never imagine how i'd look like back then. I couldn't find any pictures but, things were clearly on a whole different scale back then.

I for one, hates to lose. I was a sore loser. And from a not so good background; without proper English fluency; I was an outcast. Even among the chinese kids. I couldn't even properly communicate with them. If you must know, i was the only chinese back then in my primary school. I 'd spend most of my time in the library. Reading books by Isaac Asimov , Enid Blyton, The Hardy Boys series and more.

So you can guess how'd i looked like.

Then this geek entered a premier school.."Victoria Institution". Which in my opinion, is still the best high school there is. It was not the Golden Age of the school, but we were clearly still shining . I joined clubs just so that i could mix in even though communicating remains a problem. Inspiration come pouring from spirited looking seniors; loud-snobbish-prefects and students among me that seemed to own the classroom.

Those words, mottos and principles still stays in my head, a reminder of days before and days ahead. PODIUS(Punctual , Obey, Dedication, Initiative, Unity ,Suggestions), the school song, and "Be yet wiser".

Give a wise man instructions and he'll be yet wiser. These words really did mold me into a scholar, sportsman and gentleman. I am grateful that i entered such prestigious school.

biased?

i don't understand why people always tried to justify their wrongdoings.

but when it comes to ours' they just can't help bad-mouthing; forcing their words into our mouths and force-implement their beliefs into our minds.

sometimes they can be really innovative. Contradicting themselves, twisting words and creating stories.

haha, i took 30 minutes to write this entry. By the time its done, my anger subsided.

so,just let it be..
