What is this feeling..
Your heart warms when you hear her laugh.
Your day's brightened when you see her smile.
Your heart skips a beat when you bump into her.
Nothing else in the world matters more than to receive her sms/msg.
You feel sad when you are unable to bring her smile.
You feel bad when you don't know how to talk to her.
You feel really afraid to disappoint her.

Happy Teacher's Day
Teacher's Day today and I don't even remember so. It feels just like any other day (like crap) in school. I did not wish a single professor so in classes today. Not that I notice anyone who does anyway. Guess it's something that we outgrow. Still remember back in primary school where the school will organise some celebrations. After the celebration, the whole class will decorate the class to prepare a 'surprise' for our form teacher.
What really reminds of today is my student. First time to be wished Happy Teacher's Day. I have never thought myself as a teacher before. Nonetheless, it does feel great to be appreciated by someone. He's a good student btw.
To Profs who really deserve so, and to teachers who had helped me along my academic journey, Happy Teacher's Day..

Being Perfect
I had wanted to talk about what I had gone through in the last few weeks.
Think there's too much happenings for me, and not enough time for me to reflect on the experience. It's week 2 and I'm already slogging through to prepare for a presentation next week.
Anyway, I just want to talk about being perfect. Last night, a few of us from band were having a chat with our conductor. While he was discussing about the band competition, one of what he mentioned really struck me. I can't remember exactly what he said but it's something like: We should aim to seek perfection in the music and not think about competing, results will come along with it.
Think this principle can be applied to what we do daily. I admit, I'm guilty of having this competitive streak. Sometimes, I just want to be, or appear to be better than the others. Why should I bother about what the others are doing? Why should I be stressed over what the others can do and I cannot? Maybe I'm just seeking the attention which I do not deserve, or maybe I'm just afraid to lose out. I should just strive to be perfect in what I want to do. Sorry guys, I'm just imperfect in one of the many ways. Hope that someone will be there to remind me of that fact when I stress myself or when I start comparing with others. I need to think of what I really want and seek perfection in that aspect.
Being a perfectionist is a valuable trait. It really spurs one to improve. I find it applicable to my studies. If you feel the need to know everything and to be able to do every question correctly, chances are you will also do well for your tests and exams. If only I can find the time and patience to be perfect about everything, think I will become a great person.

Busy busy busy..
It has been a hell of a month for me, starting from the week after my ORD.
I'm sorry guys if I can't turn up for dinners and outings.
Been involved in:
1) Convocation 2006 on the 19th Aug
2) Angel Come Alive Project on my weekends
3) Symphomania on 4th Aug
4) Preparations for Vivace
5) National Band Competition
6) New Balance Real Run
It has been a really draining experience for me. For example, staying till 2am at Suntec, making do with 3-4 hours of sleep daily, and not to mention the deadline imposed by responsibility and obligations.
School has resumed and I've already felt kind of burnt out by now. Been thinking about why I want to go through all these and what I've learnt. Oh well, shall talk more about them in my next entry. I just want my rest now..

Re-Revival of the Blog
Hey there..
It's been a long time since i've updated this blog again.
Really feel that I should revive the blog for few reasons.
1) To let you guys (whom i've allowed to learn abt this blog) to learn more about me and what I've been up to. I'm only revealing this to the 4O community so far..
2) To vent my own feelings.
3) To remember my thoughts.. Sth which I can easily forget.
4) To invite suggesttions and comments.
5) And so on and so forth.
So watch out for this space. It's going to be active, I hope.
