My latest pet

Finally, a phone that has Wi-Fi.
Made me poorer by $238 but I think its well worth it.

Now... to make up for all that lost time!

A Sense of Urgency

Because I have so much time nowadays, I think I'm beginning to know myself better.

And my latest revelation (okay not entirely) is probably that I thrive in urgency.

How else can you explain the fact that my exam is in 3 days time and I've barely even started studying?

This is my 3rd module thus far, and it seems that for each of them, I don't really get started until the last few days.

Hopefully, I'll find my sense of urgency soon enough this time.

Wish me luck!

Laptop Batt

I'm thinking of getting an extra laptop batt for my Fujitsu Lifebook.

Anyone knows where can I get that and what are the prices like?

Of Enjoyment and Contentment

Time: 230a.m.
Venue: Changi Airport

I came here at 10+pm and am still here.
When it gets too stale at home, or too hot, I get out of the house.
When I can't concentrate or find myself lacking ideas, I go somewhere for fresh air.

Nowadays, my fave hangout seems to be Changi Airport.
Yes, I can work from anywhere as long as I have an internet connection, but I think the airport is probably the best, if not the only place, that has power points and is open so late in the night.

And yup, I go there alone, except once when Mr KY joined me.

The flexibility of doing what I want, not having to report to anyone, and probably most importantly, the freedom of working whenever and wherever I want to.

I don't know how long I'll be doing this, but as unbelievable as it sounds, I actually enjoy what I'm doing now. So while I'm still at it, allow me to say:

I'm lovin' it!

How was your Valentine's Day?

*Trying hard not to sound emo

This year, I think I spent V Day with the most number of people, ever.

3 in fact.

3 guys.

Haha.

Supper on the nights before and after, with the same group of guys.

Hope you enjoyed yours!

It's all meant to be..

Mistakes,
are meant to be made.

Promise,
is meant to mislead.

What-ifs,
are meant to deceive.

Regrets,
are meant to haunt you.

The promised land, the much sought after freedom, may just be a beautiful false dawn. Temptations abound; don't let one ruin whatever good you have built up.

I hope you make the right choice.

一路上有你 - 张学友

你知道吗
爱你并不容易
还需要很多勇气
是天意吧
好多话说不出去
就是怕你负担不起

你相信吗
这一生遇见你
是上辈子我欠你的
是天意吧
让我爱上你
才又让你离我而去

也许轮回里早已注定
今生就该我还给你
一颗心在风雨里
飘来飘去
都是为你

一路上有你
苦一点也愿意
就算是为了分离与我相遇
一路上有你
痛一点也愿意
就算这辈子注定要和你分离

就算只能在梦里拥抱你

When the lips are gone, the teeth go cold...

"They came for the Jews and I did not react because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the trade unions and I did not react because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the communists and I did not react because I was not a communist. Then they came for the social democrats and I did not react because I was not social democrat. Then they came for me and there was nobody left to defend me."

Lack. of. focus

I find it hard to focus on things nowadays, and this lack of focus is even extending out to the things I like. The fact I'm even talking about this is because I find it kinda disturbing, and for better or for worse, I really do not know.

When I go for classes, I find it hard to concentrate and pay attention to what the lecturer is saying. I can focus for a few minutes, but I just drift off after a wee bit.

And then I tell myself that its just because the module is boring, the content is too heavy. But I have since realised that this is not just evident in class, its spreading to almost every aspect of my life.

Soccer sites used to be always the first thing I load when I go online. At my insane peak, I could load the same site like every hour, just to check for updates. Okay this only happens when I'm reaaaaaally bored.

But now, at times I even forget to visit the site, which is a far cry from the past. Even when I read football related news, I am no longer that enthusiastic. What used to be rabid fervor, has now been toned down on a large scale. Sure, football still keeps me going, but its really just one of the many events that made me realise there's something different.

That might not be the best analogy, but there are other events.

I don't have the patience to finish reading the papers.
I find going to class a chore.
I view too many things as distractions.
I enjoy the times I'm out, but when I'm back, it feels empty.

In a nutshell, I don't really feel I have a keen passion for anything.

Then I wonder what is the cause of this.

I wasn't happy when I was still at my previous job, because honestly, that has gotta be one of the worst jobs around.

In terms of level of contentment, I'm a lot better off now because I am really my own boss.

But, even if I'm making more money than before, even if I'm so much more carefree now, I still find something lacking.

I look around and I observe what drives people in life. Some people are driven by money, some are served by goals, some for love and friendship, some seek solace in religion, and the list goes on. I'm intrigued by the respective motivation that each unique individual thrives on, and I understand what makes one happy, really might not apply to another.

Let me know if the above entry does not make a wee bit of sense.

*Off in pursuit of what completes me..
