my resolution

well..here's another long awaited update... these are my new resolutions for the new semester...which i hope i can stick by!! knowing me...haha will break them pretty soon..

1. swim everyday (which i have been doing diligently!)
2. no carbs for dinner (chicken everynight so far)
3. do all my tute problems (hmm...having a problem with this one! haha)
4. study/review work consistently (not helping with the easy availability of the tv!)
5. not buy clothes unnecessarily (going to get a dress this weekend..no!! but i need it for dinner dance...haha tht's a necessity!)
6. not break any resolutions made thus far!

ok..so far...nothing is looking good. i think i've broken almost all of it..except the first two! haha..oh my..goes to show how body conscious i am! this is bad. the 6th resolution is not helping at all. well..at least having written them has made me more aware of wht i HAVE TO DO and not AVOID any of them anymore. fat hopes! this is just so ironic! i can be such an optimist when it comes to believing in others in achieving their goals and stuff..but when it comes to my personal ones..i'm such a pessimist! it should be the other way round! then at least there's a glimmer of hope of me becoming a successful being! haha...oh well..i guess it's all in the mind. intelligence is innate but our way of thinking is a conditioning. and EQ is way more influential than IQ in our success...in my point of view. oh now i have another resolution to add to my list:

7. avoid pessimism at all costs!

let's see how this one holds up. exercising will make me happy! why? cause exercising releases endorphins and endorphins makes ppl happy and happy ppl think positive! haha.. on the road to good health and positive thinking!

anyway, uni life is going as usual. nothing spectacular happening. this weekend however will be pretty busy. othello on thurs, a dance competition on fri, ice skating on sat and shopping for my dress on sun. what a jam-packed weekend of fun! can't wait! ok..enough blogging now..time for me to fulfill resolution number 3! :D

till the next update...think of me, think of me fondly.

long awaited update

here's the long awaited update! been really busy the whole month back in m'sai. had a really really enjoyable and unforgetable holiday. the highlight had to be the trip to kuching with shaleen, jitesh, gary, chee wei, hwee yin, jeannie, kit ling and terence. the rainforest music festival was terrific and the energy level at the concerts was overwhelming!! no inhibition at all! oh and lots of booze! i'm proud to say i had just plain clean fun..no influence of alcohol whatsoever! haha. the nights of gossip and stuff in room 807 was totally awesome! sharing a room with two other guys and a girl is so much fun! haha..tht was random. oh the food was bad though...made almost everyones' tummy ached. on the whole...the whole trip was made unforgetable because of the company. the company was just great. it's amazing how u can get along so well and become close to complete strangers in just 5 days. this is one group of people i will never want to lose touch with. thank god for msn and technology!

had a wonderful time eating as well! all the delicious yet unhealthy kuihs...roti..thosai..mamak..yum yum. my mum's cooking!! a must mention! sigh..another 4 months of melb..then i'll be home again..and then i would have completed a whole year of uni. time really flies. oh well...i can't really think of anythign else to blog about.

so i'll just end here. till the next update....paths cross, lives change.

our body, our shell

just experiencing a sudden surge of energy to blog again, after about a month of silence. ironic huh..me silent?? haha.. this past month has been a very soul enriching one. going through emotions and strengths i never knew i had or required to get through situations. and this made me equate our body to a shell.. i know this sounds a tad religious...but seriously..aren't we what we are because of our 'insides' and not because of our 'outsides'? our body is like an encasement of all the good things in us. it's temporary and we are just in it for the sake of fulfilling our desires and goals. sometimes our body may last till it's old and wrinkled and sometimes it can mulfunction even at a young stage. however it will eventually breakdown and then is when we die. we use our body to hide from the world; for pleasure; for making a stand in life. this makes our aim living in this world a tad more meaningful..doesn't it? we have been endowed with this gift of a wonderful, magnificent 'shell' hence we should use it to the fullest but at the same time maintaining its working condition because without it we will only become shadows of beings, unfulfilled beings. i guess this makes me more determined to experience life as it is not hold back.

pondering over..now to the good happy news! holidays are finally here! eventhough exma results will totally be a disaster...going back home makes it all better. can't wait to feel the warmth, the beach, family, friends, familiar sights and sounds again! this hols is going to be the best! going to pulau redang and sarawak. SO looking forward to it! sunday is 'd' day. i'm leaving on a boeing 747..don't know when i'll be back someday...haha

ok enough rambling..till my next update...strength and optimism, a must in life.

you

you are the one who makes me happy
when everything else turns to grey
yours is the voice that wakes me morning
and send me out into the day
you are the crowd that sits quiet listening to me
and all the mad sense i make
you are one of the few things worth remembering
and since it's all true how can anyone mean more to me than you

sorry that sometimes i look past you
there's noone beyond your eyes
inside my head the wheels are turning
yet sometimes i'm not so wise
you are my heart and my soul, my inspiration
just like the old love song goes
you are one of the few things worth remembering
and since it's all true
how can anyone mean more to me than you

you are my heart and my soul, my inspration
just like the old love song goes
you are one of the few things worth remembering
and since it's all true
how could anyone mean more to me than you

~the carpenters~


i dedicate this song to everyone i know...who has withstood my nonsense and mood swings and to all that have understood me. :)

till the next update...friends are kindred spirits.
