Tuesday....

Right in the midst of my exams...juz finished 2 papers, yest and todae.....well, i didn't perform well yest...but on the contrary, I feel quite happy....why....one may ask....

yah...probably i'm crazy....who'll be happy after screwing up a paper? Well, certainly I'm not insane or out of my mind from too much studying....hahaz.....well, right after the paper, i had lunch wif my 2 bros....as usual, zhiwei and changsheng....well...they definitely surprised me yet again....i'm reali beginning to admire them both more and more oredi....i'm so amazed by them....yah....i noe my blog has been plastered with their names all arnd....but den again...who can resist so charming guys?

touching on the topic of pressure to perform academically in singapore again....i of cos hav realised a long time ago that grades are not of utmost importance....in fact, i lived almost my entire life believing that and abiding by that principle until i began my university education....anyhow, 3 of us have talked abt this issue before also....and in particular with zhiwei...haa...cos changsheng alwaiz has been doing well, so he probably doesn't reali understand how it feels to screw up papers...(not dat zhiwei has not done well)....he is a brilliant scholar i have to admit....okie nvm...the more i say...the more patronizing i seem to get....
ANYWAY....zhiwei used to tell me that he has already managed to let go of the stubborness to perform....yah...I acknowledge that....but used to think he was just dishing out nice, kind advice to me like what most ppl would....and not actually living by the same principles...(not practicing what they preach).....but yah...yest, i was touched....seriously....kauz....touched by 2 guys!! Not literally of cos!!!! they didn't touch me physically....they touched me where it matters most.....

dat is....my innermost, deepest feelings....haa....not 'there'....

yah, why do i say so? I mentioned to him juz now...but juz wanted this memory, this special day to remain so that I can alwaiz come back and reminisce about this special day....he convinced me that this should be the way to be...to live....to be happy....and i'm genuinely convinced(i'll not explain how, it's a secret =p)....last sem, or 2 sems ago, i'd probably still be sulking over the spilt milk....but yest, I was feeling alright even before we finished lunch....wah....that's y i said these 2 guys are amazing me more and more.....and i'm looking up to them more and more in various ways....

now...to the issue of friendship.....i've alwaiz felt that friends are an integral part of anyone's life....without friends, life will never be the same....without good friends(real buddies type), life would be even worse than having fair weather friends....

hope i'm not sounding too mushy, i probably don tink so myself....yah...but i'm reali grateful for having made so many new, good, friends in nus over this past 3sems....but since i'm talkin abt my 2 bros now....i wanna elaborate abt them....we've actually reali started talking tis sem...which is like wat...Aug? and to tink we are so close now....joaling even commented that zhiwei and i talk like brothers....hahaz....and the 3 of us are indeed reali close now......we acknowledged that there are indeed differences, strengths and weaknesses amongst us 3....and i agree and am reali grateful that i have this chance to acquaint them both and learn from them as well as help them along in any way which my modest strengths can....

well, i realise i'm evoking strong emotions in myself as i type again....well, i simply cant help it....I'm someone who is quite easily excitable...and sometimes i cant seem to control my energy as well....when i start exuding energy....i do so uncontrollably sometimes....

nevertheless, i juz wanna reinforce the importance of friends in one's life.....never allow oneself to be led astray by the wrong group of friends.....friends are like water....in a sense....it can save u(as a source of fluid), and it can also kill u(drowning).....so make sure u use water in the right way!!!

i guess i better start my revision for tmr's paper....Signals....another killer module....but i'm embarking on it with a positive spirit, thanks to my newfound bros....for regardless of the outcome, i've reali worked hard for it....and i certainly rem what quek told me about his dad's advice.....yah.....and one can also try again....there's alwaiz a chance for everyone out there....

ultimately....one should seek a positive work life balance....live a happy life....and achieve one's goals to the best of one's abilities.....well, a simple sentence like this probably isn't that easy to abide by....but I sincerely hope all my friends can do so....

let's be happy ppl tog all the time...haa...thanks to all my friends...love u all....

from the bottom of my heart....
