Second post of the day.

Intelligence. What determines who's an intellectual and who's not? I believe that it has something to do with the genes, the way you carry yourself, the way you process information, and the way you speak. You can be an eccentric; you can be a normal person; you can be an arrogant person.

Perhaps you don't feel it yourself. Perhaps all of the above isn't true. Perhaps it's just what others perceive you as. Others who think at a much different level from you, others who do not understand you.

There are some people, whereby no matter how you look at them, they just don't seem intelligent. There are others, whereby upon further inspection, you start to see their values.

Which group do you belong to? The intelligent, or the commoner?

A sense of nostalgia pervades my mind recently, and many memories surface again at the back of my mind. Sometimes, I wonder... How does someone keep in touch with a large group of friends and not stray away from the friendship? Is keeping in touch possible, considering the busy life that many people lead?

Somehow, I've had this urge to see and talk to one person again. Strangely though, this wasn't a person that I was very close to, neither was she someone whom I'd knew for a long time, nor was she a person I'd kept much contact with or someone who's in the same school, or of the same age as me. This is a person who would have otherwise been a stranger to me, if fate did not allow us to chance on each other in the same activity.

Nostalgia... nostalgia... Of life and people we'd known.

Spent a whole day today 'muggin' It's more of a 60-40 with 40 being studying. Hahas. Arthur calls the amount of stuff I'd studied insane, but i think it's what i call 'as nature comes'. Oh well, the procrastinator in me tells me that my brain isn't cut out for wholeload memorising and to take things step by step =)

Tried studying, but it's difficult to start unless u have someone smack ur head over and over again to remind you. Besides that, a good place to study, the weather, and your surroundings affect it a lot too.

Heh...

Whew. I'm feeling so bloated right now, after a large cup of sinful Belgian chocolate at coffee bean and a small portion of frog leg porridge at home for supper =X Been telling myself to work on homework and to revise for maths for the whole day today, but sadly, I was distracted by many stuff. Nevertheless, I shall strive to complete my GP work and study for maths tomorrow at Mac~

Spent a bomb in popular again buying pens. I feel so cheated. The refill for the series for the uniball pen I use for writing is only a pathetic 10 cents cheaper than the pen itself. Geh. Oh well, perhaps I should congratulate myself for helping to save the earth by buying lesser plastic.

The night is cold, and it simply feels so shiok~

Gambatte!

There are some things, that can be captured more perfectly by Chinese than English.

时间过得好快，一转眼就已经是一年半了。恐怕多眨一下眼，就会是年尾了。 每想到自己即将毕业，心头总是刺刺的。接触两年的朋友，这些友谊是珍贵，是无法被取代的。自知生命中并没有不散的宴席，但心中每想到这些与同学之间的回忆及欢乐即将会慢慢的被时间的横流冲淡时，真的希望时间会停止，希望自己永远不会长大。

人心难测，当你开始长大，身边的人好像变得越来越阴险，越来越卑微人与人之间的交情。可悲，可悲啊。

I was thoroughly amazed by the ending of the anime A.R.I.A. the origination. This very last episode of the 3rd season was something extremely special. Despite me watching only the 1st season, it was enough to move me to tears... Imagine if you were a person who had watched it from start to end?

Have you ever seen anything that makes you feel bittersweet, and yet you know that things in the future for what you saw were going to be better; that what happened in the past should be treasured preciously as fond memories? Ever thought of how it would be, when someone who had tread the same path as you for a long time takes a different fork in life?

Ultimately... everybody leads their own life and tread their own paths. It is a lonely way to live, but lonely we are for we were born alone and will die alone...

Just bought a new watch today from a store in vivo, and at a cheap price of 10 bucks. It's square, black, and looks really cool to me. It's a sad thing though, for within hours of wearing it I scratched the glass accidentally on something. Bleh. Got to get a screen protector for it...

My sis complains that the watch I got was too simple, but I still think that simplicity is beauty =) Just simply can't stand the sight of the horribly butchered stuff that predominates the fashion industries especially. Something simple, yet elegantly designed in the cutting and shape would definitely be more outstanding to my eyes then those mixed and match collages.

I bypassed a couple directly on my way out of vivocity today, and I thought they were rather sweet. I mean, one of them gave the other a quick kiss on the cheek as goodbye. These are some things like this that just puts a great smile on my face =D

Another cute thing too! Apparently the mega pet store in vivo is selling a puppy Samoyed of 3 months old~ it's really, really, uber cute... too bad pictures of the puppies weren't allowed to be taken. I love Samoyeds, although their long and white fur are really difficult to maintain.. hahas. One day when I move into my own apartment, I'm going to buy a dog~

Been watching a Jap drama 'Last Friends' and I found it rather interesting and heart warming. It's about the life of 5 people living in a shared house and how they intertwine with each other. A warning though, this isn't catered for the close-minded audience as it contains plots underlying with controversial moral issues. It's available on Veoh and perhaps Youtube.

A line in this drama made me think... 'There are some things people don't want to tell others even until they die."

How true this is. It's in the nature of humans to fear rejection, just as it is the nature of humans to be suspicious of others, to need acceptance, to be the best. Sometimes, I think, it is exactly all these innate countenances that make up the fabric of social life.

.............. TBC?

Whew. First post in June.

Unknowingly, one week of the Mid- year holidays flew away right before my eyes. Had a pretty good rest time for the whole week, catching up with some old friends and current ones and spent some time with my family. Tutored my sis, and I need to seriously think about how best to work with her. Bleh.

Today's the start of a brand new week, and it's gonna be a pretty busy one. I uploaded a Google calendar to keep check of the stuff that I have. It's good to have a online copy of it somewhere, just in case I lose the hard copy. I'll probably be updating the calendar with reminders and all, but I have the feeling that it'll probably be mostly blank. Hahas. Perhaps I should go and hook myself up with more activities.

There's a couple of mid-year papers coming up soon, and hopefully I'll be able to focus and concentrate on studying and doing well for them. Needa learn how to love studying and doing homework soon.

Zzz...
