I haven't really been blogging much recently because of so many things happening :O

I'm currently feeling rather overwhelmed by the amount of things that are gonna soon be due (assignments and projects) plus quizzes in two week's time OMG I'm gonna dieeeee. I've been lagging behind for tutorials since mid-terms but what's new this seems to always happen for the semesters -.- Each week has just been catching up with work, attempting to do tutorials but it's almost always never successful, spending time with people, settling summer school stuff (which I'm so looking forward to!) and omg lab reportssss.

I have to confess that I've not been able to cross off all the to-dos in my planner.... :/

That being said, this semester has also been much more happening than the previous semester haha. I have been meeting with friends more regularly (especially dhs peeps) and going out more frequent. Maybe that's why I'm lagging behind so terribly LOL. But yea time has been well-spent with the right people! :) Life is so much better this way haha..............before I die during finals :P

I'm kinda amazed at how things turned out/are turning out. It's a foreign experience to me and tbh it feels kinda scary to really open up yourself to someone, but it's nice having someone to depend on! :P

Holy shit this is so creepy :O

Just within these two days I was reminded twice that there's always a back story to everyone. So don't be too early to judge.

A quote from one of my favourite books (that we were made to read in Dunman haha):
"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view — until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."

Side note: Harper Lee passed away just last week I think :( RIP.

End of a chapter

Wow. I didn't think it would come across as such a huge relief.

That's why I said it's more of a positive thing than negative, so don't worry bro.

Thanks once again.

Even if what I'm doing doesn't make much of a difference, it doesn't matter because this is what I sincerely want to do.

Maybe sometimes we're not meant to be a hero, but a silent guardian.

Wow I'm applying what I learnt from watching my GEK lecture video this morning hahaha. A quote from Batman:

"He's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight."

I don't get why people who decide to attend an industry lecture, knowing very well that it is an uncompulsory lecture and that the contents covered will not be tested, only to end up their own work right in front of the guest speaker. If that's the case, I'd rather them not sit in at all. If you attend the lecture to make the lecture hall less empty, please don't do work when you're sitting somewhere very visible to the speaker, otherwise what you're doing is just gonna have the opposite effect. Where's the basic respect? Can you put yourself into the speaker's shoes? I'd feel demoralised presenting to 90 souls but only 5 humans. I probably would have just skimmed through the entire lecture but the guy had actually went through it in such detail and took 1hr 50mins. (Although I did hope that he would have shortened it...) What's bad was that most people didn't even try listening; they went there with the sole motive of doing work. Kudos to our generation.

Fuck. I'm feeling so much like a hypocrite. How do I handle things nicely without being a hypocrite... Easiest way would be to just bluntly put things across but I don't want to make things ugly and I don't think I'll be able to make myself say it. Things would be so much simpler if.

Through these it also shows something. It is so different from my style of doing things.

Maybe my new year resolution was too difficult a goal for me to handle...
