Trying to keep my sanity and motivation to study up. Its really difficult especially when i am on the computer with all the distractions on youtube and wonderful generation... but i cannot don't use the com. i need my ebook for neuroscience and immunology!!. But it was a good break to go outside for dinner.
Kept asking Maureen ridiculous and stupid questions that will NEVER happen. haha its like what if the entire human population was annihilated, and there was only _________ left. would you marry ___________. haha and just talking and giving funny scenarios :) so it was really fun!! haha .
dinner was at this other restaurant where we tried spicy pork.
i got to say that if someone told you that the best feeling on earth is when the person you like likes you back, just shoot them the 'yeah right' look. i got to admit that yes, it does feel awesome when that happens, but i don't think that it should be labeled as 'THE BEST' feeling. there are many other fantastic and fabulous feelings that are on par with it but i think the GREATEST BEST feeling that beats it hands down is just really simple --> its when God has given you good health. WHEN YOU ARE FEELING HEALTHY ACTIVE!! with that energy vibe. Try having someone confess to you while you're in bed with food poisoning or fever for that matter. Burning with a headache at 39 degree celsius and someone comes along and says 'erm you know i really like you, want to be together' ha! we'll see if you are THAT happy. i mean you would be touched but COME ON!! who are you trying to kid. in your mind you'd rather be single than feel that hot burning and tiring sensation in your forehead and all the muscle aches throughout your body! haha. i mean for real. So i really thank God that i managed to recover so quickly. I feel like i have a brand new stomach now, all the toxic in my body is gone :) i can go to the toilet properly now hahaha :) plus eating the pork woah, it didn't feel as spicy already :) (maybe because we had army stew that was like.... 5 times its level or something so we're trained). haha but still YAY! THANK GOD :D
another factor that we talked about was if given a time machine (this is all thanks* to SNSD's time machine i was listening to during revision just now). if given a time machine, what is the moment in the past that you would like to return to to change. haha and vice verse, the happiest moment you would want to relive. so yeah. i guess what we talked about is top secret haha cause there were some unpleasantries on her side and its something private so i won't disclose. We also crapped about other stuff :) love bath time sometimes where we can talk without having to face each other and just laughing into the shower haha :)
another thing that struck me the most is self-motivation. i really need more of it to pump myself up. What maureen said really made sense--> work hard now so that finals we don't need to work that hard. it could be a blessing in disguise that the percentages for almost all modules are spread out equally between mid and finals. so yeah. hwaiting!.
This is important as well. I once asked my secondary school friend Esther, ' do you find geog hard' (since geog was her major.. and not many people i know have an interest in geog. her reply really made an impact ' would you find something that you like, hard?' this really set me thinking. do i find bio hard? do i really hate bio? if so then why did i take it? its my interest. its suppose to be easy isn't it? i guess i still do like bio, finding out about how the body works, why is it that way, how God manages to connect everything into one living organism. But why am i trudging through bio revision? i don't enjoy what i learn? i guess i do like studying bio, but i don't like to take exams.
Brings us to the next topic. examinations. who invented them? the main question i think should be. Why is there a ranking/grading for examinations. Children fear studying not because it is hard. Imho, i think they fear exams cause grades are the things that might brand them for life. having a score /100 and then placing you behind or in front some other kid in the entire country.... scarring. Don't get me wrong. i am NOT against examinations. i think that test and quizzes are a good way to let us learn. We will know what we do know and what we don't. i just don't like the idea that i am ranked..... in front or behind a certain individual. in addition, examinations are based on the performance at a certain time. what if i so happen to experience some discomfort during that time or i fall ill? you never know. my consistency would all go to vain if i back out during that 2 hours of examinations. won't it? so i believe a lot in consistency. hmm.. but i guess that's how things work, if not the adjective of 'better' or 'best' or 'good' would not exist. i mean you need something to compare. since we ARE comparing almost everything (living or non-living) no? come on you got to me kidding me if you didn't compare the food of can a to can b before deciding what you want to eat for lunch. if you are guilty then stop. now.
oki, i guess its quite a long post... filled with just my thoughts on everything and anything. randomness is just another one of my middle names haha.
fighting!
got to make myself love bio again. its interesting, fun and most importantly, SOMETHING I WANT TO DO. its a choice. not an obligation. NEURO HERE IS COME!!! photoreceptors cones and rods come to me!!
=do something right=
