It has been almost a week straight of sleeping at 1am.
Am I pressurising myself too much or am I doing the right thing by revising?

Failure to decide is a decision itself

The parable of sadhu.

One great life lesson:

Failure to decide is a decision itself

Run

Should I run, or should I not run?

So many considerations, and a friend told me that many alliances have been made, leaving me stranded - as usual.
I think I need some life lessons.

Is being there really something I want? Or should I take it as a challenge for myself?

University

Life's changing
Be more decisive
Be more shameless

Learn new things
Make new friends

Maintain old contacts
Treasure old memories

Utilise past experiences
Appreciate past knowledge

No one is going to approach you to talk, you have to talk to him/her
No one is going to compel you to mug, you have to push yourself
No one is going to come to you if you suck, so you have to be good in the first place

Basically, it is all about me.
The journey has just begun.

加油 Kevin, and to all friends - especially my readers (:

Camps

3 weeks and 3 camps later...
I made a substantial number of friends
I pushed myself beyond what I thought was possible of my left arm
I learnt so many ways to travel from places to places
I enjoyed myself throughout these 3 weeks

and most importantly,
I am learning more about myself, sorting out the "real me".

Camps

Time for a change.
I shall drop my inhibitions, and practice out the new me.
I was introverted and cared too much about other people's opinions of me.
"If you don't know me, don't judge me."
But of course, there is a thin line between being fully oneself and respecting others.

I shall try that.
I should have fun and will have fun.
But safety is still of paramount importance.

Good luck to me.

20 things I should have known at 20

Stumbled upon this post in my Facebook feed. I daresay this is one of rare posts which I find really meaningful and practical - far from the idyllic idealistic and the emotional and the angsty posts and phrases which seem to crowd Facebook. You might say this (post) is in fact an accumulation/compilation of all those various "inspirational quotes", but this post does a bit more explanation and has a more holistic view.
Furthermore, I concur with a preponderance of the points (maybe I am biased) and the style of his explanations are similar to my previous posts.

I am really tempted to copy everything down here and do a point-by-point comparison, but it is getting late, I shall do it another time then.

So here it goes:
20 things I should have known at 20

Console

How do you console someone?
I have no idea.

Someone please teach me.

Just for laughs

I have to show these. Came back from a long day of medical appointments and tuition, decided to check out a youtube video that a professor had shown the class this afternoon.
Prof: You guys are tired, I think you need some energy.

And he showed this:


I went on to find more interesting stuff, and found this:


And I called it a day by watching this:


I shan't comment on any of them. Just watch (:

Heal or zeal?

Tried squeezing a stress ball with my left hand. As expected, I managed that Herculean task after much struggle. I stared at that nondescript, innocent looking ball, which seemed to symbolise the actual weakness plaguing that hand - or is it I am thinking too much?

Am I too aggressive in my healing, expecting myself to heal much faster than expected? Or am I not doing enough exercise to strengthen and regain back my strength?

Sometimes I am really frustrated at myself. Am I doing harm? Or have I tried enough? Don't get me wrong, I am not morose about getting the fracture. In fact I do not regret it, I see it as purely an accident.

However, I am quite worried about its implications. It is like, you are given a situation and you have to handle this situation. So what are the options do you have? What are the choices do you have? Should I show how strong I am and risk re-injury? Or should I be passive to "heal" faster - but being passive means I will be socially less active! What a dilemma.

And then there's that wart on my leg...

Damn my uni....
