the negativity epidemic + fat me
Monday, August 22, 2005 (1:28 PM)
i read my previous post (perhaps narcissistic to some extent) and guang's entry. it seems like we're all going down with some pessimism and i noticed my entries have been pretty negative about the going-ons around. i used to wonder 'if only pandora hadn't opened that box', would life have been better then? i suppose it's not possible. negativities are inevitable and the tale of pandora's box probably exists to explain why unhappiness and illnesses happen. it's human nature to grumble about all the unhappiness but we need to understand that there's no happiness without it's corresponding opposite. if the world population stand at 1m, none of us are short because there's no 'tall'. similarly, none of us are tall because there's no 'short'.
so hey, my first paragraph read optimism despite solemn.
i've not seen guang this crazy about 'someone' in a long time since 'someone else' and this 'someone' turns out to be a 2nd degree 'friend' of mine. anyway, i doubt my friend remembers me.
so i'm in to the 3rd week of school and tutorial begins. the agenda for the first tutorial reads - "form project groups" - what the heck? it's only the first tutorial. looks like they are not planning to give us any appetizers before serving us the main dishes in uni. then there's this whole lot of readings that i couldn't finish. it is actually humanly possible but i really couldn't get the information in to my head plus i have really short attention span.
as far as i've come (not that it's been really long), i haven't reached the stage where i'm lazy enough to just type a short entry. this is a test of your attention span on my entry. and now you notice i've run out of things to type thus this paragraph of crap.
i'm missing japan again. the 11 days trip we had was really fun. initially, we had a plan to visit japan again come next march but the current financial situation seems to be saying, 'no'. i wonder when i'll get the chance to save enough to travel again. i've also been wanting to visit sweden for reasons i don't understand. i just feel an affinity with the country so much so that in every sporting event, i support sweden (except for gymnastics which i'd root for russia). needless to say, any country coming up against singapore, i'll definitely be behind my motherland.
next, most people are wondering i suppose, 'fat me'? obviously it's out-of-the-world thing to say i'm fat but i've not been exercising since disruption. my ippt gold is probably reduced to a pass now. no wonder the batch isn't shining gold. the probably expected it to dip anyway. how many people actually exercise after leaving camp? guang does. others i really doubt.
so if you are those who exercise after leaving camp, please send an email to *istillexercise@impossible.com
