Inspiration
We are all seeking for inspiration... I'm glad I've found a few inspiring people.Talked to K over the phone... glad she's fine in UK. :)
One of the interesting things about travelling is how people try to identify with the slightest of similarities. For instance, the Asians would cluster together and the Westerners another bunch. It's interesting to think through right? =)
Another thought which we had the opportunity to talk about is how travellers step out of their comfort zones and say 'hi'... it's quite absurd to say 'hi' to others whom we don't know back home... right?
Ha... I'm so happy to hear her voice and have those wonderful conversations.
2 quotes:
"Readers are plentiful... but thinkers are not!"
"It's better to look stupid... than be stupid!"

Evolution of knowledge
I've decided to post some of the weird thoughts running through sometimes...Evolution of knowledge... you should have noticed how fast knowledge has progressed and grown into obsolescence. Maybe one day the very fundamentals of our society will be debunked... darwin's evolution... adam smith's markets... what would society become then?
I'm thinking... still...
Just finished the rough paper for TWC... happy... hoping the loose ends are picked up.
Running this evening... looking forward... :)
As expressed by many friends in SMU... sometimes we just feel quite sad that we are reduced to 'hi-bye'... but keep faith... ok! Thanks Victor LIM! :) Ha... take care!

Learning...
I've learnt to admit mistakes.The meeting was effective but I guess I might be a bit strong in some comments I made to the Ex-co. The thing is... I really felt a need or compulsion for change! We'll need to admit our weaknesses sometimes... masking it up in non-chalance is not helpful. I guess it really TOOK me a LONG time to muster enough to just spurt out the 'internal' guilt that was felt by many people. Ha... it's never easy to admit guilt.
I'm still learning... not learnt.
I really do hope I don't have to do it again...
Still in search of my 'light'... should I retain my identity... I've lost much in the past semester and summer too. In quest of something I do not really understand. Now, I am at the crossroads of either higher planes or trajectory... or to be like a spring... coil myself up... take the blows as they come and learn to be strong... mentally and in physical sense too... it takes time but I have to be patient... the patient are often best-rewarded!

Considerably Excited... Muack!
I love the term ahead. It's really rare I get so much energy suddenly... Yes! I was totally euphoric yesterday as I contemplated my semester. I might actually have to adjust a little. I'm thinking of dropping my MA class (the total scholar freshie class) to bid another. But also worried about my Econ Devet (Asia) course. That's my concern. Once I get these bids I can see the synergy in the subjects... despite a possibly 5-day week, I'll be contented still. I love SMU! :) Ha... Really.Oh... i lost my violin bow cos I think it was wrongly taken. =(
Hopefully I'll be able to find my bow... also get my bids too... I think my LTB group (LTM) is going to succeed... I'm hoping it does too... cheers!

Feeling a tinglish feeling within...
I am now still reading some project materials... for summer course!A thought ran through my mind suddenly and I feel an urge to write it down...
"What's really love?"
Love can be anything... really!
From the purest of love (I believe in family love being the purest)... to the extremities of eroticism... love is subjective. But one thing... everyone needs to be loved. Let's be objective. We've often lost ourselves in the mires of busyness and over emotional-ism... all these, seem to point to the need to spend some silent time thinking about ourselves.
I really hope to spend some time quietly thinking.
Maybe I should do so on the bus back home...
Back to studying... with love!

The Road Not Taken... Thanks!
"The Road Not Taken", by Robert FrostTwo roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
As I recall what a friend, whom I treat as mentor, once read this. I made up my decision. Procrastination ends.
Thank you. Cheers!

A day I learnt something...
It's quite ironic. Felt like shit inside the office but guess it's an experience. I believe that being removed as the assistant might be a good lesson. Try not to take up too many things that you cannot handle all together.I must admit that the feeling sux but yah... learning experience still.
Quite relieved now. Have to study for TWC... but at least I'm less with one burden. I hope I'll be able to assist in another field that provokes interest or curosity. Maybe political studies. Ha... I always wanted to study geopolitics and development. Guess it's probably a sign for me to start following my research inclinations. Now... looking for new directions...
Dearest friends (if you drop by to read my blog)... let's chill out and talk soon k... it's been a stressful end to summer holidays... i've got stories... i've got experiences... i've got sorrows and dreams and inspirations... let's share... ok!

He moved again...
Looking at the wet floors... stained by the rain. He thinks about the previous night of runnning... five rounds through the neighborhood. The usual thoughts of possible discipline... possible physical fitness... everything... ran in his mind, as he ran.Time and again, he maintains his breathing patterns, to ease running, and most importantly for discipline (what he had set out to achieve in the first place)...
True to his spirit, he has probably changed. Thoughts about how his month has been. He has turned less politically correct. Is it positive, really?
The rain had washed off the stains on his shoes. The rain has wet the marks left on the floor by him. The rain, hasn't washed away his lethargy with the world and the facade so surreal around... he hopes... only to probably be disappointed... someday... someday...

Liebest So Genau (Love so True)
Light emerging from the stars...
On which friendship bears...
Veils of hope shed thru tears...
End e loneliness, end e fears...
Smile and cheers...
Only you hear...
To me life will be complete...
Realm of surreality deplete..
Understand me I hope you will...
Endeavours I leave this trail...
