Hoho. A lot of things to do!!

Last three finals

So much work and so much stress! Hmmm. Where are you when I need you the most? Dear God, please don't let things continue like this. I really need to learn how to focus and seriously improve my GPA.

Finals Period

Ah...it's the finals period.
Good times, good times.
I've been sleeping at strange hours and filling my head with knowledge that I won't be using in just a couple of years...as of now I still think university is a bit of a time waster. But you know what? The occasional nerding feels good. Mugging (Singaporean term for studying hard) makes me feel as if my IQ has jumped a standard deviation. What's that? Oh you've never taken statistics? Oh hohoho. No worries my dear. I am just rambling nonsense.

Anyways, I've decided to put up some of my new music and lyrics after the exams:) I want to receive feedback from my friends and family!:D

Yuppie.

Reminder to self: buy ticks to Boston when free.

a little more about depression.

Went to class today. Skipping all the details.

Depression is a growing trend. Everyone is worried about it. It is estimated that in 2020, depression is going to be the 2nd most prevalent diseases in the world (1st being heart disease). Oh schmucks. Oh and trust me, according to very good scientific sources, depression is a very bad thing.
So what should we do? Avoid being depressed at all costs so we can escape from its detrimental effects? Yer, that's what most people should be doing. After all, depression is a very, very serious subject.

But for some weird reason more and more of us are using the word "depressed" in our everyday conversations as if it means nothing. I hear someone complain that they're depressed at least once a day. And you wonder why people become more and more depressed nowadays. Just because you don't mean it doesn't mean it has no effect; the mere fact that you let the word out already affects some part of you (and others around you).

Try saying "I wanna die" fifty times. Don't mean it though. And see if you feel a little more like dying than before. It doesn't take a genius to know that our mouths are lethal weapons.
Or, at times of crappiness, try forcing yourself to smile. For some weird reason, that will lighten you up a little. Weird? No, because our actions affects who we are, what we feel and how we perceive things.

Geesh. From now on, I am going to say "I am sad" instead (there's no way I can avoid complaining and ranting all in one go). Also, I am going to avoid saying, "I'm screwed," "I am f-ed," and "FML."

Especially since this is the finals period.
Time to study!

Random dislikes-or is it just me...? (to be updated)

1)You're walking on the road and you feel that the stranger walking in front of you suspects someone (i.e. You) is following him. You know this because you see him slightly turns/tilts his head and checks behind with his peripherals. And now due to self consciousness you feel the need to walk faster and overtake him in order to prove that you're "clean."

2) Food colorings. Be it blue ice cream, red jelly or green beer...natural or unnatural...tasty or disgusting...food colorings always gross me out.

I am starting to blog

WHY?

Because I realized I've been out of touch with the world. I miss my family, I miss my home, and I miss that part of me. Starting this blog will allow my family and people I care about to basically gain access to my diary and allow us to reconnect through a third medium.

Let's just treat this blog as a social experiment shall we:)?

Another reason why I am starting this blog is because I'd like to monitor myself; and this device here is pretty handy - I get to give myself reality checks, rant about life and basically analyze my own chararcter etc.

Anyways here's the to-do-list for today:
1) Listen to two sermons and,
2) Reply pastor tan and cc sibs
3) Reply sophia about the plans of gcc events
4) Listen to two psyc301 lectures

Yup;) that's it for now!
Byebye-
