Sunday...

Had a great time studying with Xiankan and Darryl, in particular Darryl, cos he was absent last sunday....i reali missed those daes in sem 1 and 2 when 3 of us studied tog every sunday....fortunately, now it's back.... =)

It's the start of week 3 tmr, a critical period in both senses....
First, it's critical cos it marks the commencement of all my labs, u can say that the full force will come at me from tomorrow onwards...including EE2001, the ultimate remote controlled amphibious vehicle proj....
Second, it's because week 3 is the week before chinese new year...A year before, this was the period which i started lagging reali badly, and eventually, i found that I could not catch up at all...
This time round, I'm not going to whine. Period.

However, in the face of all the work and stress, I'm feeling uncharacteristically calm....Maybe it is the calm before a storm? But I doubt so....I guess it's because I'm viewing the upcoming toughness and difficulties as challenges....A lecturer told us this sem....we can choose to view the glass as half empty or half full....I suppose I've alwaiz viewed it as the latter, that is, half full...

Confidence breeds success, and conversely, it is true as well. Not bragging, but I've never felt as confident about myself as I am now. Arrogance and complacency in the past doesn't count, of course.
In a sense, confidence is a double edged sword. As the saying goes, 水能载舟，亦能赴舟, confidence is only beneficial in the right amounts. In excess, it causes one to be complacent and disregard sensible advice and will ultimately lead to one's downfall. A lack of it makes one a diffident person, dull and deficient in self-esteem.
Not sure about others, but I had been there before, both extremes....didn't feel good at all, I suffered badly....so I'm particularly cautious after learning from both lessons....I'm never going to let any success get to my head... =)

With the upcoming festive period, I'm feeling really excited again....hahaz, I sometimes still see myself as a littly boi still, excited abt the little things in life....I just can't help it....I hope it'll be a great Chinese New Year for not onli myself, but oso my loved ones and all of my beloved frens!

Alwaiz view ur glass as half full...

United, any chasm can be crossed...
