Anger Managment

I think i need anger management classes.

Any idea where to enroll?

Time flies...

Went to TV12 to collect the signatures today. Too bad most of them were out for Promax but still managed to catch up with some of them.

Ha.. met Lyn & Raj in time to have lunch with them. Was kinda glad to talked to them though they have been so stressed at work. In fact, they told me the segments that i was in charge of have been scrapped off cos they have no time to do it at all.

Lynn was so jealous of me, saying i look so much more radiant than when i was at work. Ha..Well, did i look that bad at work? Gee... i think it's just because i slept more last nite and was so relieved tat i had handed in my SIP report.

Anyway, after talking to them, I realised i actually quite miss the duo lor cos they are just so fun-loving and talk about the weirdest stuff. Maybe because we are all so stressed that we have to find things to amuse ourselves.

Anyway i ate Biz school fried rice today and my! I never realised it's so nice.. shall eat it more often in future, before i depart TP.

I think my favourite word is time flies.. but it's really true cos ya in a few months' time, we will all be exiting from TP....

Sake of blogging

Alright.

I shall not blog for sake of blogging.

Better entries next week. Have a gd weekend, all.

Mine will be burnt finishing the SIP report. Bleah.

Beware! Long entry ahead...

I just caught The Butterfly Effect on DVD! Thanks Xunhao for lending me! Wasn't really thinking of watching a DVD, with the amount of workload i had. But was kinda feeling like i needed a break and now, i am quite inspired.

It wasn't an excellent film but I kinda enjoyed it. The main gist is that the character goes back in time to try & change things around him. But the transformations often led to undesirable consequences. It really made me questioned the whole big "what if" idea? What if i didn't do this, what if i didn't do that, things will be so different...

We shouldn't look back in the past & regret all the decisions we made. But being human, it's only natural that we wish we could change a slice of our past, dun we?

I was just thinking...

- What if i had just gone straight to poly instead of JC after my Os?

Possibility of present: Working right now maybe in food science field, pursuing my part time degree?

- What if I had been accepted into NIE after my As?

Possibility of present: Started to teach in a primary school, marking lots of scripts everyday...

- What if I had chosen to study Hospi instead of Mass Comm?

Possibility of present: Meet a whole new set of friends and be on a total different career route altogether

The list could just go on... But at the end of the day, it's a simple realisation that God allows things to happen for a reason and purpose. Every different set of experience u go thru just makes you think more of life, learn to deal with it better(hopefully).

Of course, another thought just came up in my head. Our free will & God's intercession in our lives. How much of our free will affect the consquences of the events in our lives?

Alright, i am probably boring you out with this entry but I just had to get it off my chest. This whole concept just blows me off sometimes.

Fall out

Was just talking to some people today & realised that in CMM, there are many pairs of buddies/good friends who used to be so close.

But now, they are not even on talking terms. (due to various reasons & i dun mean busyness as a reason for drifting apart)

Hmm, i thought it was pretty sad cos it really shows the vulnerability of friendships? Today, you might be hanging out with this person. Then the next day you might not even want to talk to him/her cos of some really bad misunderstandings.

I thank God that it hasn't happened to me. Maybe it will someday but i think unlikely cos God really guards me in this aspect. And also due to my character & the way i look at friendships.

I think i am pretty tolerant when it comes to friendships. Even at times when i am angry or upset with a person, i wouldn't really vocalise it out. Sometimes, i will complain abit. But after that, everything goes back to normal. I dun really bear grudges on people.

Then it could also be because of the wide network of friends i have. I know Bin has mentioned this before, I kind of spread myself too thin sometimes. I have pockets of friends everywhere but the friendship level with everyone is just to a certain level.

Even my best friend on earth only hears what i want or am willing to tell her.

I guess the person I share the most honest with is Jesus Christ because before my Lord, i have no qualms & no worries about exposing myself.

But still, I am thankful to all the friendships that i have built within these 3 years in TP. Thank You all my pals. I can't guarantee that we will be friends forever, but i will work on it to treasure the bonds between us!

IMQ (Eye for maximum quality)

For a person who hardly sleeps on the bus, i have been falling asleep on buses thrice this week!

But thank God i always wake up in time to alight. Just that i feel abit goggy(is there such a word?) when i wake up.

I figured out it might be better to sleep on the bus than read cos everyone tells me reading on the bus worsens your eyesight.

And yes, the last check at the optician: 750 + 45 = 795!

So yes, I have to start somewhere. Sleep more & read less on the bus.

可不可以不勇敢

你用浓浓的鼻音说一点也没事
反正又美又痛才是爱的本质
一个人旅行也许更有意思
和他真正结束才能重新开始
几年贴心的日子换分手两个字
你却严格只准自己哭一下子
看着你努力想微笑的样子
我的心像大雨将至那么潮湿

我们可不可以不勇敢
当伤太重心太酸无力承担
就算现在女人很流行释然
好象什么困境都知道该怎么办
我们可不可以不勇敢
当爱太累梦太乱没有答案
难道不能坦白的放生哭喊
要从心底拿走一个人很痛很难

One man, one wife, one marriage

Guess Mondays won't be that blue with two interesting lecturers, Mr J & Mr D, with their queer sense of humour, sarcasm & filling us in on facts about the subjects they are teaching.

Yup, as you've guessed. Day 1 wasn't that bad just that it was a bit hard to sit through a 2-hour lecture. Guess that's the result of missing school for 5 months. Heh, but will get used to it, i hope.

Media law lecture was pretty cool today as we discussed on what are somethings that are legally right but probably morally wrong. Interestingly, many things did pop out in this area like abortion, extra-marital affairs etc.

Then Mr J also shared about how the law can actually affect the moral standards. For instance, when they introduce the monogamy law in Singapore in the 60s, it was to stop Chinese men from marrying multiple wives. And because of that, we are influenced to no longer see it right to have many wives.

But back in the 60s, it was probably the norm.

And we know it, cos hands up if your grandfather had more than one wife?

Scriptwriting was pretty cool too. Ideas are swimming in my head about the assignments. And the coolest part of the lecture, we are encouraged to watch more TV & movies to get inspiration & ideas!

Woohoo, like my mom can't scold me for watching too much TV! But anyway, she never does cos i dun watch much either. I think i probably use the net more.

Yup, hope to finish up the SIP report this weeek. Have no head or tail where to start man!

I broke my specs

I broke my specs, just hours before school starts.

Faints. Shall get it fixed first thing after school. I bet everyone's gonna laugh at what i am gonna wear.

Btw, Thanks Bin for the new haircolour! =)

Folks out to Taiwan from 17/11- 23/11. Stayovers are welcomed.

No boys allowed though. Ha...

Random Random

Just came back from an interview with a celeb, dun ask me who it is (cos i am planning a surprise for a friend, will reveal photos if got chance).

The interview was erm, okay lor. Not much feelings. I really dun think much of celebs nowadays. Heh. I am quite jaded of such pop stuff actually... like dun listen 2 much radio/watch TV etc.. even though i am studying media. I know, the irony.

Was actually more pleased 2 befriend someone new-the photographer Bryan through this assignment. He's a friend of Roger, also from TP. Think he was quite nervous but the photos turned out not too bad lar. Hope to have more chances to work with him.

So i am home now at 6+, with tons of work to do. And lots of fat to lose. Ha, sounds like part of a rap.

Shall go shower & do some constructive stuff.

What a meaningless post.

Timetable is out!

I got into broadcast! (T01)

Ha. actually i am more excited about the timetable than the course cos got free days and afternoons off :P

But of course, we have to spend these afternoons wisely doing our projects! But good lar, cos if lessons are in afternoon, it's quite unproductive for me.

Here goes

Monday - 2pm onwards free
Tuesday - Whole day off! Woohoo!
Wednesday - 8-10: no lessons, 1pm onwards free
Thursday - 1 onwards free
Friday - 8-10: no lessons, 6pm onwards free

And since next week most classes haven't start, only need to go skol on Monday & Friday. Aha! Aye but then again some of the subjects we taking have no lectures also..so means?

But anyway thank God for the cool timetable!

Missing

What if your loved ones suddenly disappear and never return?

You have no idea where he/she went to, why he/she left or what exactly triggered the disappearance...

I was watching the Channel 8's version of "Missing". I dun watch much TV but always happen to catch this programme with my mother.

And everytime the show ends, both me & my mum just wonder how these people just went missing? I feel for the family members of these missing cases. They have no idea what happened to their loved ones, whether dead or alive.

And what's worse? Most of them appear quite alright before or on the day of disappearance.

Ain't it sad? Not being able to detect any possible reasons why they just left you.

Days, months, years go by & the family still bear hope that someday, the missing family member will return.

Life is just so unpredictable at times, we really need to treasure our loved ones & be there for them always.
