what matters.
Stole this off a friend’s wall. Words of someone who knows what life is truly about: A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items in front of him. When class began, he wordlessly picked up a large empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks about two inches in diameter. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then...
life
It has been awhile since I decided to take some time off sleeping/dramas/gaming/etc.. for blogging. I have only served the army for 4mths+ yet it seems so long (perhaps due to the many transitions; BMT to SCS to MPTS). While I sometimes abhor army because of the regimentation and field trainings, these few months have changed my perception on several issues and I feel more matured. These issues...

World's end
Somehow, i believe that the world will really end in 2012, when the Mayan Calender ends. The number of catastrophic events happening have been escalating since 2010 and the degree of impact has only gotten worse. Here is a list of events which have happened since 2011 and are happening now:
Jan 11: Floods & Mudslides in Brazil killing more than 800
Jan 24: Suicide bombers @ Moscow,...

For ordinary people, with extraordinary dreams.
finished with Tiger mother.
Finally, I am done reading the book. I am actually impressed with the way Amy handled her daughter, parenting them the Chinese way. Her methods may be offensive, outrageous and even abusive to some parents; yet, there is no doubt that it was successful. Actually, the classification is ambiguous - Chinese/Western Parenting. Even locally, where 70% of the population are Chinese, and having hundreds...

Helloooo goodmorning everyone !
Love is like waiting for a cab. Sometimes you wait for it. At times, it waits for you. With patience, it will come to you.
Gawwd
I really don’t understand why are there people with fucked up attitudes. If you want to do something, and have applied for it; BE COMMITTED.
Battle hymn of the tiger mother
I first read about the book through Time magazine; 31st Jan. Reading the article, I was overwhemled by how a ‘Chinese’ mother actually disciplines her children. It was outrageous. How many mothers in Singapore (where ~70% are Chinese) actually threatens their daughters to practise the piano for six hours or face the consequence of having the doll house given away? Or burning of all her...

2012
No wonder people say that we will get destroyed in 2012. With the tension between the nuclear armed N.Korea and S.Korea, the outbreak of protests and instability in Egpyt and iserael, the Taliban and Iran. Seems to be leading us to something more, something bigger.
A thought
I am starting to wonder: whether we are really like animals(I know we are mammals), in the way we live. In the wild, it’s a constant struggle of survival everyday; living in fear of getting attacked by predators and having to hunt down preys for survival. In a way, we humans are behaving the same. We start by studying; where we obtain skills, just as animals in the wild do; followed by...
Math tells us 3 of the saddest love stories:
Of parallel lines, who are never meant to meet.
Of tangent lines, who were together once then parted forever.
And of asymptotes, who could only get closer and closer, but could never be together.
WHY CANT I ATTRACT THE RIGHT SEX.
OH MY GOD.
How will you feel ?
4 years ago.
Not knowing her personally,
I added to see how what R’s taste was.
I went eew and yuck.
Two years later,
I saw her on the streets alone.
I almost forgot how she looked like.
Then I went back to check,
I don’t know what had gotten into me,
But I found her amazing.
A year ago,
I saw her not once, but thrice.
Coincidence? I doubt so.
Fate? I wish it were.
&Now?...
Somethings before I turn in..
Many probably know that I lost a friend’s DSLR recently; something very unfortunate and sucky. I guess it’s the work of Karma. Karma; in the laymen definition, is a belief of one’s action (Good/Bad) being reciprocated back in the future (or even in the next lifetime). It finally came at me - after such a long time. After what we did in secondary school, it’s no surprise.....

LIFE of a WORKAHOLIC .
I started work yesterday as a Data Entry or ”Financial Assistant” at DP Informations; a job which require me to be meticulous and not leave any room for errors. My duties are to read financial reports of companies - specifically, Malaysia Private Companies - and to key in the respective data required. I must say the experience is very new and fairly interesting - working in an office...

Transient
To be honest, I miss the past two month a hell lot. The reasons are because it is when I really felt close to my classmates and when I really had no worries. Also, I’ve come to a conclusion why people miss events or the past, it is because those events will never occur again.

Let's commit the perfect crime,

Merry Xmas
A merry Christmas to everyone! I hope to keep the spirits high even though i lost Ian’s DSLR which i am utterly guilty and sorry about cause it’s a holiday. I think i should stop borrowing stuffs from my friends and actually buy my own stuffs. Can’t believe that my luck is rotted and fucked.

MY AMBITION.
THAILAND.
I am finally back to posting after a long hiatus/aft (away from tumbler).
There are many reasons as to why i am suddenly back to posting and one of it is due to the fact that my grammar and vocabulary is failing on me so much so that i feel stressed thinking of how to form sentences. How terrible. Couple of other reasons include keeping a piece of memory in the form of text and just the urge to...

3(a) Explain, using examples,what is meant by: (i) a public good, (ii) a demerit good. [10]
(b) It is generally recognised that unlimited use of motor vehicles by private citizens generates a level of negative externalities that is unacceptable. Discuss the view that a policy of indirect taxation is the best that is available to tackle this problem in an economy such as Singapore. [15] 4(a)...

I suddeny recalled a funny instance on air. There was this girl who called in for a song dedication,
Girl: hello shan and Ross.
S/R: hi Sarah, are you still in school?
Girl: no I am at home.
S/R: we mean are you still studying ?
Girl: oh, yes, I am 11.
S/R: nice, so you’re having pale next year. What do you want to be when you grow up?
Girl: idont know. But people say I will e a...
A friend posted this on her FB status:
the difference between a prodigy and an idiot is a paper. seriously that statement is flawed all over.
So true.

I find it for us to be ourselves; wanting to perfect the things we do, without getting close scrutiny from people and inviting criticisms. Not that something actually happen to me (although I do know of people who are unhappy with me, possibly to the extent of hatred) but actually of what a story (or an ongoing thing) from someone else. It’s like the vice of project working or any...

One day.
