When monopoly is disastrous...

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Herm Albright

Just a random quote that i saw. basically means it's better to be positive about things; people will see and appreciate the effort you are putting in.

going to be a busy busy week ahead. working again tomorrow, then probably watching half-blood prince at night. wed will be half day followed by a trip down to NUS for a program briefing. thurs, driving lesson plus outing of The Fantastic Four (LOL cool term huh?(: anyone volunteering to be jessica alba??HAHA!) friday will be spent in NUS(again!) for welcome tea/module briefing.

zzz.

sounds packed.

and i got persuaded by jaws to stay an additional day so last day will be next tues just before registration at NUS(again! grr)

it's weird/amazing/interesting how things get put into perspective upon returning to s'pore from another country. it's like those few days away from this 'red dot' can help one to do some self-reflection and serious thinking. at least i did. and i know some of my friends have too. i found myself pondering on certain ideals and relationships that i used to hold dear, and suddenly they didn't seem so indispensable anymore. of course, they remain important, but just not so crucial anymore. life shouldn't be so one-dimensional. one can't live his/her life for one dream or one person. no dream/person is SO important to devote ALL your time and effort into.

consider this: if you, one day, lose that dream/person, will you lose the motivation to carry on? will you still be able to drag yourself through the vigours of everyday life if you lose that ONE thing that defines you?

Nothing should monopolise your heart and mind. Yes, it may play a larger part then most, but don't let it rule you.

Pain lies ahead if you do. Trust me.

anyway i'm glad i have sorted out all my thoughts before the start of school. all those stupid nonsense running through my head was really beginning to wear me out and now that i have thought things through, my mind's a lot calmer and clearer now. well...better thinking through things now then in uni where time is of essence.

PS: need new wax/clay.zzz.but damn lazy to buy.
