Don’t waste your life trying to impress other people. Do what you love, love what you do.
My version, two words: Be yourself.
Do you not wonder about why are you, you?
Why are you here?
What’s your life purpose here on this land called Earth?
Since I was young, about primary school years, I have always wondered and pondered about these questions. I was never satisfied with “I’m going to be an accountant/finance manager/auditor etc.” If I were to be studying in the medical or scientific field, neither will I be satisfied with “I’m going to be a doctor.”
Unsatisfied — perhaps because humans are never truly satisfied. Unlimited wants, limited resources. Otherwise then, what would our dreams be based on if not our wants (DK 2010)? Since I watched the last episode of the final season of Ophrah Winfrey show, I have a new dream: to be like Ophrah, even half would do. I think. 
Being the voice of many. Heal the wounds of war. Shine the light.
I thought of travelling in search of myself, just like how Takemoto (from Hachikuro) traveled all over Japan. It sounded like a pretty concrete idea. Until I saw:
Life isn’t about finding yourself — it’s about creating yourself.
What should I do from now on, to create myself? All of us are born as a white sheet of cloth, who we are is reflected upon pattern that we have painted. (I have no creativity?!)
Mel, that’s a really good question. Do you know, truly know, yourself inside and out and throughout?
PS: Happy Diwali ! 
My lecturer spent half an hour in our one-hour tutorial class saying, “About 90% of college relationships don’t work out.” It struck me; I understood what he meant. I may not experience what he went through, breaking up after the proposal (and he didn’t get the ring back, haha!), but I could feel what most couples suffer. Believing there’s always a tomorrow for us, love is forever, when we cannot even answer this simple question, “Do you think we’re going to get married?” It’s true, that it’s one way or the other. Sometimes, we take each other for granted. You’ll realise it only when you’re losing something or someone you know is important, and asking yourself, why do I regret losing? You should appreciate everyday, so that you wouldn’t even have to lose it. How many of you actually experience this?
In this case, comfortable does not sound so comforting after all… It doesn’t have to be about the shoelace, but meeting is always the sweetest, is it not? I don’t like the arguments. I don’t know how to resolve our issues. Might need help. I highly doubt we’re still in Stage 4 any more. It breaks my heart.
Ah, anyway, miss you bro. xD
- The huge, gigantic and evil, meanie creature called University choked me out momentarily. – “Help!” I shouted as I got my first breath of fresh air. Gasp! No, university life isn’t all that bad as I made it sound, but it certainly DID gobble me up, alive. Oh no! 
(Only kidding, folks!)
I have Tuesday blues instead of Monday (in fact, I only start lectures after lunch on Monday!). Two two-hour lectures and three one-hour tutorial classes for Tuesday alone! Can they not distribute the schedule in a more evenly manner? 
So, three out of four days to university I go back after 5pm, but at least we were given Fridays off. Hmm… Does that happen to be a rule for tertiary education? Even my sister who studies at a different college (she calls my university a “rich kids’ school”, lol) has a day off on Friday… Odd! In a GOOD way, of course~ 
Met Lam, my good friend. His first response was, “Dammit,” when I asked if he had lecture at a certain time and venue, where my first lecture was held. You see, he’s in the January intake, and I’m March. He was in such disbelief our lectures were combining. Gosh, I can’t be such a horrible person that he has such a choice of word. But then again, a single “meow” from me was enough to annoy him so much as to beat me up to a pulp….. So, maybe I should not try my luck so much, eh? Haha!
Made friends with a few people so far, mostly from my class. Though, there were some who were introduced to me by MikO. WOOTZ! A day before orientation, I convinced myself that I was all alone in my course, but MikO came to my rescue. Thank goodness I have a close friend to go through the treacherous three years together!
Back to my books! I currently have a four-page essay to complete by Thursday, and this post is nowhere near that length. Sigh!
Gong Xi Fatt Chai!
A time to celebrate with beloved family members. Have fun, and may you have a safe journey ‘balik kampung.’ (Going back to hometown.)
Wishing the Year of the Rabbit brings much joy and happiness JUMPING your way!
