Life is so hard nowadays. Thought i will be able to cope with my studies, that is why i have the intention to work while studying. Then i realize that i can't cope! Now savings every day keep on droping just like the stock market! Plus exams coming, damn stress!
However i believe that as long as i strive through this three years, the rest of my life journey will be smooth.
Lastly, for peeps who are choosing which school to study, choose carefully! Do not every choose school that has only exam and no project! It is not as easy as you think!

Is god a creation by people to explain things that they cannot explain, a channel to ease their feelings or is god for real?

I'm currently going through Alienation. It means going through a process of being separated from true self. Now i do not evaluate my life in terms of what i want to do but what i own and what i consume!
To this part, you must be wondering what the hell i'm talking about right. Give you an example! When i was in secondary school, i thought that basketball is a sport that i can play till the day i can no longer run. I wanted to join a well reputation basketball club. But because the importance of studies predominates over basketball, i have to give it up for the time being. Then finally graduated from secondary school, got a chance to relive the basketball thinkings. And yes i did join a club and played some competition. I continued to be like this for the next 2 years. Basketball was part of me at that point of time. 2 years gone and i've left the club. I start to notice that in order to go to the next level of basketball, i have to improve and spend more time on it. But in this Singapore society, i'm forced to make a decision between What you want and What you own, consume? Slowly, i spent lesser and lesser and lesser time and lost touch of it..Very soon, i went down hill. And slowly i'm being seperated from my true self.
This is happening because i'm living in a capitalist society, where profit predominates above all else. And as individuals, we are surrounded by certain expectations! We conform to these expectation is becuase the society constrain us to act in certain ways.
After understanding what i'm going through, i finally can answer the question that i've asked myself in the previous posting. Good night people.

I was wrong! So damn freaking wrong! All i thought i've see it through but in the end, actually i'm a loser who only know how to talk and talk and talk! Actually i'm the weakest link among all. But peeps, pls dun think that i'm actually wanking after reading those above sentences. I'm just pin pointing myself! I just want to remind myself to wake up my bloody idea and stop talking like Mr Know It All. In the past is like that, now also like that! Its time for a change pig head! Time to set it right, else you are going to suffer!
Now is the time to make a decision. Either to continue to lose weight and make a point or continue gaining weight and focus on gym!

Finally ORD lo!! I was enlisted on 08 Oct of 2007.. and after serving the nation for 1 years 10 months, I've finally ORD lOh!! If you ask if i'm happy, my answer is no. Why?
Firstly, once ORD means i either have to study or work! Study will be all over from scratch which will be tough. And work, i'll never be able to find a work like what i do during my national service!
Secondly, the friends i've made during my time in J Division will soon slowly, one by one gone or maybe forgotten. Because thats life. People move on. Maybe still can meet up during reservist but they themselves also do move on. Maybe move to other departments because their current post is over estab!
Lastly, i wont be able to do what i like most when i'm serving, which is operations! I'm so in love with it that i hope very day is operation day! lol! That sound abit like cursing Singapore. I'm sorry and i did not mean that Singapore is a crime prone country. Over here is safe and sound
But anyway, still must accept it and life still goes on. Now i'm studying in SIM, University of London, Bachelor Science in Business. Pls note is Business only. Not business admin or management or finance! Alot ppl thought is that when they here me answering their question!
I'm seriously suffering there cause its not easy for me as my vocabulary is lousy plus i do not have A level maths foundation. Alot of things dun understand and dun know how to solve. But i'll give in my very best to get a first class honors back!

Running away from Materialism
Money can’t buy you love. It can’t buy you happiness either.
Today’s materialistic world often urges us to buy the coolest gadgets, the trendiest clothes, bigger and better things, but research shows that possessions and purchases don’t buy us happiness.
It’s the profit gain by corporations, not for our own happiness while we are forced into materialism. Sadly, it’s hard to escape the effects of materialism, and find happiness in other ways than buying stuff online or finding joy in this shopping city.
So how can we really escape from materialism in the modern days? Go hide ourselves in the woods of Singapore? Probably you will be living with the illegal immigrants or thought to be one if you do that. Or you could still live in our modern society, but find ways to escape materialism.
Here are some suggestions:
Give up magazines for books. Though magazines may contain information, it has more advertisements contents as they are designed with advertising in mind. And they rarely give you much value. Try reading a book. I believe there are more worth reading book than magazines.
Limit television. Enjoy watching TV for hours? Only watch shows that you are interested in and when commercials time, move away from your seat. Watching DVDs or VCDs is the best choice as there will not be any advertisements, and once finish, you can proceed to doing other things.
Monitor your internet surfing pattern. There are lots of websites in the World Wide Web. Avoid visiting website that sells product online example EBay and etc as they will tempt you to buy. Try visiting informational websites as this will not only stop you from spending, it also increase your general knowledge.
Limit going to the mall. Aim of these places is for you to spend money. If you just want a place to spend your weekend, find a place where you don’t need to spend money to have fun such as a park or a beach. If you really need to buy something, head straight down to the shop. Limit the window shopping as you’ll get sucked in.
Find other forms of entertainment. There are other things to do besides watching TV or surfing the Internet. Try playing sports or exercising, or playing board games or creating art or writing or reading a book. These will build up your character and the bond within the family, friends and love ones. With great health brings happiness to your life.
Find goals for you. Give yourself a treat by going on a holiday or relaxing spa. Plan these ahead everything. Constantly remind yourself that you have yet to achieve these goals every time you feel like spending money on products. Learn to love yourself, and then you will find true happiness.
