Tinted Glass Window

Been pretty stressed for the past few weeks, and frankly, I still am!
I know people always go like, "Huh, you're stressed? But you're only taking 2 subjects!"

I know it's ONLY 2 subjects, but two very important ones
One is my Independent A which is the first part of my final year thesis and another is Philosophy which is an extremely hard subject to grasp (my brains can blow out for this one I tell you and I'm not kidding!)

Then there's also the nagging thought behind my head that's telling me that this is the end of my 3 year degree and I'll either make it or not
Looking back at my past results, it's just average and because of how my uni system works, my aim for the 2nd upper class would largely depend on how well I do for this last two semesters
Yes, getting 1st class didn't even cross my mind cause I know it's impossible...I was never an over-achiever=)


Got this while reading Sophie's World:

"If the human brain was simple enough for us to understand, we would still be so stupid that we couldn't understand it"


Hm, why do we learn philosophy again?

Friendship is like peeing on yourself

Sometimes, we just got to believe in ourselves
Have a lil' confidence and BE the person that you are meant to be

School: A place where Papa pays and Son plays

Nurse: A person who wakes you up to give you sleeping pills

Tears: The hydraulic force by which masculine willpower is defeated by feminine waterpower

Lecturer: An art of transferring information from the notes of the Lecturer to the notes of the students without passing through 'the minds of either'

Compromise: The art of dividing a cake in such a way that everybody believes he got the bigger piece

Conference room: A place where everybody talks, nobody listens and everybody disagrees later on

Father: A banker provided by nature

Boss: Someone who is early when you are late and late when you are early

Politician: One who shakes your hands before elections and your confidence after

Doctor: A person who kills your ills by pills, and kills you by bills

Smile: A curve that can set a lot of things straight

Yawn: The only time some married men ever get to open their mouth

Etc.: A sign to make others believe you know more than you actually do

Experience: The name men give to their mistakes

Philosopher: A fool who torments himself during life, to be wise after death

Many people are afraid of failures
Often, that's the reason to draw back and not venture into new territories
In fact, it is also one of the most common reasons for people to accept mediocrity

Being afraid of failures means that you're afraid of what others would think of you
If you fail, would you be ridiculed? Ignored? Looked down upon?
Those questions would constantly be playing through in your mind whenever decisions are to be made

Also, what about having to answer to yourself?
What happens to your self-esteem when you fail?
Will you lose confidence in yourself and find it hard to get up once again?
Oh, all the trouble that you would have to go through just to gain 'a valuable experience'

Hence, the safe route is always better than taking the risk
This way, your flaws would not be discovered and you're at a position where your positive side shows
You're at your comfort zone where things are under your control
No worries about things not turning out well as it's just the same routine that you're so used to

Hmm, new and heavier responsibilities?
Just say no, and no one, including yourself would ever find out if you would be able to make it till the end
Just be where things are going smoothly and where you're not in-charge, so that the responsibility is always, not yours

Accept mediocrity and
life.
would.
just.
be.
ordinary.




Oh, dear.

1. Stop complaining; Start living
2. Stop procrastinating; Start working
3. Stop worrying; Start praying
4. Stop wondering; Start moving

Many had asked me about my work and what I do

To some, they had an earful of the not-so-good side of things

To others, I just smiled and gave the usual OK cause I was too tired of repeating myself

Looking back, there really isn't much to say about my work and let's just put it that I had expectations and it has led to much disappointments

I was really stressed cause I had nothing to do

It came to a point of extreme demotivation that I literally felt useless and just plain stupid

In the end, I just gave up and succumbed into the flow of things

I accepted how things were and that was when I began to realize

Perhaps I did not receive the knowledge that I had expected but it doesn't mean that I had to put my time there to waste

Besides my job, everything else around could be a learning experience

The most influential was the people there...their working attitude, commitment and passion for their job was admirable

Also, my perception and outlook towards things in life have somehow changed too

And I got to meet different people and do some really cool stuff

Staying in Sepang and being away from my daily routines and everything that I was familiar with felt weird at first
But as I got used to things, I really had fun there...sort of like a long vacation
The people were great, there were less worries and life was simple
Despite all that I had probably complained and grumbled to people around, I know that I will surely miss my time there

(Note to self: Stop complaining!)

Beautiful isn't it?=)
