fog.
gonna see Dr. Mustafa for intern interview in college tomorrow, or today, since it's past 12.
research assistant in psychological testing.
sounds fun.
let's hope there's no more QUITTING here.
gahh this word is bugging me.
or better said, everyone's bugging me on this.
halo, doesnt mean i don work for one or two days that i become rotten okay.
and i'm not a person who gives up easily, to be honest.
and btw, i cut my hair.
3 inches down the floor!!
ohh and did i mention how cute Ryan is?
not Ryan Seacrest, or Giggs....but Ryan Chin, my 2 1/2-year-old nephew.
the way he calls me 'ah yee', hugs and kisses me totally boosts my happiness level to the max!
funny conversations include:
cousin (ryan's mum) : where does dad dad come from?
ryan: Singapore. (which is true)
cousin: where does po po come from?
ryan: Brunei. (HAHAHAHA since when)
we: it's not brunei!
ryan: Bhuttan....
ryan: Laos??
goshh he must be learning too many countries haha.
and besides, he's also very caring and responsible.
like for example i left the crowd for a while to shop in f.o.s.,
and he couldnt find me
so he went to the security guard and asked 'where's ah yee?'
awwwww. =)
you're da best Ryan!!
and btw, Plurk sometimes can be quite distracting.
in MANY ways.
dont ask why plurkers=)
it's very true when Jit said there's so many more important things in life to care about...
so i shall focus on the present and find more beneficial things to do to kill time...
even if that implies avoiding from problems.
but yeah, whatever.
i just want to be calm and happy.
when you're at peace with yourself, all other things will fall into place.

conscience vs challenge
duality is unescapable.
last week was interesting, but this week was heck of a...shit.
have not finalized decisions yet.
there's a voice telling me that: Shien Yin, you should freaking hell stop this. don't bother living up to other pp's expectations. who cares what other pp thinks about you? you are independent enough to decide how u want to live you life. you are not born to obey, you are born to think, and be happy. and more importantly, you're bound to get sick, physically and mentally,if u keep stressing yourself like that.
the opposite side tells me that: there's so much to learn in the working world, whether u like your job or not. the important thing is to stretch to your maximum potential, getting out of the comfort zone. life challenges makes you matured. so just treat marketing as a job to learn to deal with people, which could be applicable to your future psychology-related job in many ways.
gahh sounds like i have bipolar personality><
anyway that's the problem.
solutions?
family and friends have given me many... and loads of encouragement, sound advise and support too... thanks for that!!
but maybe this is the time i should learn to make decisions by myself, even if i will regret after making it. how could life be successful when there are no regrets??
anyway i've emailed college staffs to ask for advise...
will see how it goes.
may i be blessed with good health and happiness. and may i gain the strength to make wise decisions.

time
very often, too much time is spent on:
-looking good, physically
-appearing good, mentally. in other words, trying to appear tough when so often that our hearts are extremely breakable
-worrying what other people are thinking about us
-formulating strategies to handle the situation SHOULD someone happen to think negatively about us, which very often does NOT happen
-day-dreaming about things of the least priority while you are doing things which are supposed to be of utmost priority
-trying to achieve something but often not knowing what are your tangible and realistic goals
-going into a dilemma obssesively because ironically, we enjoy immersing ourselves into the bottomless pit rather than leading a dull life
-worrying about the far, far future when we're not even done with our near, near responsibilities
-trying very hard to be popular. or at least, being likeable and sociable. or at the very least, not being hated by too many people.
-and of course, emo-ing over various things from A to Z. which i think many of us are very capable of.
the list goes on...
nevertheless,
our species are stubborn.
we know what's right and wrong but the main reasons why so many wrongs are done is probably due to:
-we are trying too hard to be right. we try so hard to walk the right path that we forgot to see the bigger picture. we thought that success=right path but actually success=right path + wrong path=EXPERIENCE=one of life's unescapable process/cycle
-and sometimes, we might fall into a trap where we dunno we're right or not, even tough people thinks that we're right. in short, we're so blurred by the way we live that we begin to question our life principles, our morales, our goals... me thinks it's a little more than identity crisis=)
-there might be people who think that, life's just not life if we did not take the risk to do some wrongs. but this optimism might just be an alternative path to deviance. and avoidance of obstacles. one day we should just sit down and ask ourselves: what am i doing? am i solving problems(by simply looking at it in a different perspective), or am i creating more problems??
anyhow,
真真假假
many pp spent their whole life identifying what's right and what's wrong.
but what do we get in the end?
think that the process matters more than the conclusion?
think again.
are we leading a fruitful life in the process of constant searching and identifying?
ultimately.
life is about making choices and decisions.
overall,
there is a one-third probablity to live in innocence.
a one-third probability to live in ignorance.
and a one-third probability to live in the truth. although truth promotes mindfulness, if not handled with care, truth brings a lot of suffering and sacrifice than we can ever imagine.
so can we really choose what and how we want to live?
are the negative external factors overwhelming enough to conquer our internal strength?
when is the day that we begin to look into ourselves deeply, and then gradually reaching to our social circle, the community, the world?
when is the day that we begin to truly maximize our potential, and spread our love to others?
---is life even supposed to be like that?---
who are you?
who am i?
WHAT are WE???

interesting week=p
pardon me for delaying this post-exam blog entry haha...
MO emo-ed at 4:41 pm.
past few days have been most dramatic yet interesting to me since months...
(picture conveniently taken from Yahoo images, blogger too lazy to select nicer and bigger pictures to upload><)
well, those who've watched the match...need i say more?
the man on the left, ROGER FEDERER, has made history by grabbing 15 grand-slam titles to date, overriding Pete Sampras' record of 14...
heartfelt congratulations to Federer^^
not forgetting to pay utmost tribute to Andy Roddick who had played his best tennis in his professional career, making Wimbledon finals 2009 such a memorable one... though of course last year's Federer-Nadal match was epic!
okay that was number one.
number two. finals. though not much input (means not much of studying done), the output was actually quite satisfying... and funny thing was, Sociology essays were more manageable for me than the MCQs zzzz...
number three.
glad that my future supervisor has allowed me to start work next week, rather than the proposed date which is right after my finals==
so i'm only gonna start my treacherous work (quoting from Ke Hui) next monday...
of course finding transport has been a major problem, which makes pls-start-driving-on-your-own-chiam-shien-yin even more necessary><
oh yes, i desperately need to shop for office wear!! anyone to accompany me?
four.
got to meet up with several friends on wednesday and thursday. brought back loads of memories. cant wait to see them again, if there's a chance=p
five.
did something out of the norm, again. but didnt regret for doing that. person involved has been really great=)... p.s. no asking 'why' and 'what' and 'who' here pls...
six.
watched Transformers 2. imo, plot is so-so. graphics and characters are great though=p. acting? erm....no comments...
seven.
watched MJ's memorial. overall was great but i have to agree with the minorities that Paris Jackson's heartfelt speech at the end was commercialized...not that i doubt her sincerity... i doubt other's....
eight.
really wanted to upload s5 gathering pics but photos grabbed from fb are really really small...crap.
anyway, juz wanna say to s5-ians that hey, you all are one of the awesomest group of pp i've ever met!!
*i guess i better stop elaborating in case i'm totally tuned into the past-reflection-emo mode*
but Wen Zhen's latest post on our class blog has definitely put me into fits of laughter hahahaha. she was posting about fast-forwarding to 2017 where we are having our nth class gathering and predicted what is the first thing that we're gonna say... my part was...
"Melody: (on the phone) Yes darling love you miss you muah muah muah. (turns) Oh, that’s just my husband. Jay. "
HAHA.
and btw, friends whom i've not met! (you know who you are) do report yourself to me IMMEDIATELY after reading this and we shall find a day to hang out!!=p
life has always been tough for many of us. but it is this toughness that makes us appreciate our loved ones even more. the feeling is impossible to be explained in words when pp like your friends are there for you when you need them. hence, cherish the moments, as the future is uncertain, and bravely embrace the future life journey by looking up high and opening your arms wide to face all challenges... as the door of your heart will be opened if only you're willing to open it=)
