title: RIP Eugin Wee
date: Wednesday, February 2, 2011
time:2:17 AM
I know it has been months since I last blogged. During the past months, A levels started and ended, we passed Christmas, the new year and Chinese New year is approaching. In these few months, I've gained and lost a lot of things/people. Some good, some bad. The worst thing is, I recently lost someone who left too soon.
Eugin Wee, you left us too soon. You're a really sweet and nice guy who everyone loved. I am truly sorry that it had to be your wake in which we 'met up'. You will be sorely missed and I pray that your family and close friends will be relieved of their grief soon.

Life is really unexpected. Regardless of age, language, religion or social status, death shows no mercy. Eugin isn't the first friend around me to pass away too soon. But tragedies like this reminds us that life is a track that has only one way - forward. There's no going back and there are no room for making fatal mistakes. Anything we do is set in stone, there is no going back. Sometimes I feel that its unfair about how bad things happen to good people in life. But I believe everything happens for a reason. Or that is the general sentiment in comforting us in the whole cosmic scheme of things.

Its been ages since I last blogged. My latest song craze was Airplanes, but has since been replaced with OMG and Love the way you lie.

Anyways, lots of things have happened the past 2 months. I am now only 2 and a half months away from A levels. Not that that is of any interest to other non-A level taking people. But I can say that A levels are the hardest thing that I've done so far. Studying is not the pain, its constantly having to study and sacrifice other things for it. The worse thing is, you will never know if all the sacrifice will guarantee you good grades. Faith will just keep guiding you, knowing that if you keep going, somehow something good will come out of it. I just can't wait for my last paper on Nov 22nd to come. I will then reward myself with a 3 day undisturbed sleep.

A few things have happened recently that has made me understand and see things in a new light.
Firstly, I understand that no matter what happens, what you do now will always affect your future. The decisions you make and habits you acquire determine your character and who you are. My eyes have been opened to a different breed of people who I've never been exposed to before. Its shocking, baffling, and downright confusing. Oh well. You learn new things everyday.

Secondly, its no use holding on to the past. It will hurt, and it may occasionally come back to haunt you. But its best to leave whatever has happened before untouched till it becomes a problem you'll have to deal with. In my situation, I've recently dealt with a problem that has been a thorn in my side. *score one for Singapore* It has made me be appreciative of my country and know that no one else can try to be Singaporean if they're not. :)

Lastly, I've learnt to think through the decisions that I make. I'm in no position to be on a higher pedestal than the person next to me. Its like what we learn in Sunday school, we are all fallen images of Christ. Something we do right does not correct a wrong we've done.

Anyways, despite it being 15 days from prelims, I have been spending time with some very special people. :)







It's time to hit my books again. Literally.

I absolutely love this song right now. I just can't wait for exams to be over so I can finally do something other then study.
I feel so restless about life.

Honesty is the best policy.
Don't you agree?

Its been a while since I've blogged. I haven't gotten any inspiration to blog about anything recently. Right now while I'm awake at this ungodly hour, I am reminded by my timetable that I need to be in school at 8. I wonder how that's going to work out.

Anyways, its the June holidays already and the last major holiday before A levels. So I guess I will be cracking down hard and studying my butt off before the holidays end.

Despite all that, I am really happy.

title: Diary of a reformed elitist

A few days back, I was talking to a classmate of mine. She mentioned that she prefers a simple life, preferring not to step out of her comfort zone. However, I pointed out that we only live once, why settle for a mere existence?

Sometimes, certain people really belong to categories of their own. Whether it be the oblivious, lost, oblivious, naive or privileged. Some of them are really contented and satisfied with where they are in life at the moment. However, I beg to differ. It isn't where you are right now, but where you will go next. Life isn't meant to be lived standing still in one spot and not moving. Its about learning, experiencing and soaking up everything around you.

An article I read in school recently provided some insight to my slightly jumbled life. Not realizing that I was caught in the middle of two groups that left me feeling extremely confused and unaware, the two articles I read jolted me out of my semi conscious state of self awareness. The articles are:
'Scoring high in grades but not in values' - ST April 6,2010,
'Diary of a reformed elitist' - ST Forum April 8,2010

For the people really close to me, they would probably know that I have recently experienced paradigm shifts in my life that caused me to lean towards my 'better' nature. Its a long story which takes a lot to explain and reveals a lot. To make a long story short, I would just like to point out that there is much more to life than what you just see. We all are a small pawn in the greater cosmic scheme of things.

Sometimes all we need is a little bit of iron to stand firm.

Happiness is a fleeting emotion. It comes and goes and it doesn't stay. We spend so much time and effort looking for that specific someone or something that makes us happy. But yet, sometimes, it is the simplest things in life that tend to tickle our funny bone or give us a giggle. I've been really happy the last month. Certain things here and there that tugs at my ethos compass. But life goes on. Everything that happens, happens for a reason.

I've learnt that having lower expectations of others as well as myself saves myself a lot of trouble and dashed expectations. People will always fail you. When you place an infallible image or persona around them, chances are, it's not going to happen. I would say then that when you don't have all these around, life becomes much simpler, and happiness is easier to attain.

Love is a learning process for everybody. If you want to give it, its best not to expect too much back. Coz that's what it should be about.

Sometimes things happen when you least expect it.

I guess I haven't updated this page in a little while. Exams and other stuff have been keeping me away.

Happy birthday Christina, Matthew, Ching, and Jacklyn! :)
