Gosh...something i have to learn - when to know my limits and when to step out and take on challenges.
I am striving with whatever time and energy i have left to mug, mug and mug...but it still doesnt seem enough. I still have so much more that i need to know... the pursue of knowledge is indeed neverending. I seem to have over-committed myself again...with so many commitments at hand...i seriously need to control how much time and energy im spending on various stuff so that i can focus more on doing selected things properly instead of speading myself out too thin and reachin no where in the end.
Thats the thing about me, i love to challenge myself and stretch myself to the limits, at my own expense. And its usually my grades that take the first hit, then my energy, then my health....Im burning myself at both ends and im not reaching any concrete grounds.
Its time to manage my time properly and maintain my focus back to where it should be - studies. life. dreams.
Lets do it.

The beauty of sign language
Been too busy again these days :S. so much for not joining SCMC so i can have more time to study. My current commitments ive taken up saps about the same amount of time compared to when i took up the directorial role (i think. at least for now.) Well, although im very busy, i made a point to blog down this when i get the time to.
So it was on another busy saturday when i sat on the mrt. Thats when i saw a group of people communicating actively, their faces and body language tells that they were very much enjoying their conversation. No one else could understand them, no one else could hear them.
I observed curiously at their form of communication. Each had to pay attention to what the other was communicating about. They had to give their full attention and "listen". There was no sound amonst them but i feel it was a great conversation. So much more was communicated across.
How many times have we taken human relationships and communication for granted? Do we really pay attention to communicating with people? Are our minds and ears really actively open to what others are saying?
Indeed, i have learnt alot just through that small incident. Thats why i decided to write this down, and remind myself - Always listen intentively to what others are saying. Give them attention and respect.....and you will get them in return.

Im back!!!
Hello! wow its been so long since i blogged...so long that i temporily forgot my password to access to this blog account :S. I am really getting more absent-minded.
Phew..its been a hectic year 1 in NUS. Crazy days, but i enjoyed every step of it. To all those who have entered my life, i thank them for making my days in NUS such a special one. One year has gone by...i have indeed learnt alot. Be it life, human relationship, leadership, time management, studies...and so much more. Such stuff i can never learn if i were to take the path as a pure mugger (which i had contemplated upon) but i guess i felt a different calling. As much as results are important to my future, i also want to make my life an exciting and enriching one. So here i am now, in the next phase of my year 2 life.
How will it be shaped? What paths will i take along the realities of life? I can never be too sure, but one thing remains clear - I shall never give up.
