(background: I was really not motivate to revise my homework, so I look for watched how Michael Phelps swim his fly and Ian Dorpe swim his freestyle, and read every friend blog I know i.e. Xing, Jacelyn, Cassie, Kel but yet updates; I was in utterly dull so I search for “motivational inspire” and found this!)

Polarity is the opposite of everything, it enables you to experience life if you understand the physics of it:

Where there is anger there is also understanding
Where there is fear there is courage
Where there is hatred there is Love
Where there is failure there is victory
Where there is confusion there is clarity
Where there is illness there is health
Where there is poverty there are riches
Where there is doubt there is assurance
Where there is rejection there is acceptance
Where there is turmoil there is peace
Where there is overwhelming pain there is comfort
Where there is heartache there is joy
Where there is fatigue there is energy
Where there is sadness there are smiles
Where there are tears there is laughter
Where there is hurt there is healing
Where there is lack there is abundance

“Where is fatigue, there is energy.” It suits my motivitional line of the day. I find this useful in you want to show your sympathy to your friends. I shall add one more line: Where is hunger there is food. My instannt noodle cooks for more than 1 hrs, only my mother can do that.

The story makes me contemplate. To compare with my parents age, my present age and during young.

People have far too much responsibility as they get older. They’ve to take care of their family and children, work routinely to provide a home. While I was writting this blog, my mother was cleaning the kitchen. I started to scare, the pressure and responsibility, that I will face one day.

I already knew the effect of getting older but the movie has brought my subconsciousness to a conscious state. Children are bound to be grouchy and will attract towards the playground, teenage girls will crush and lady will fall in romantic affair. Young woman will want stability and security. The cycle keeps repeating down generations.

If I can choose my age, I wanted to be in forties, single. Humorous, charmastic, having countless goals to achieve, brillant in dealing w people, mutiple talent, successful.. Dreaming in the moon..

The movie, however, I rate 31/2 star, because the excitement of an aging baby from the start of movie can’t substain for the whole long movie. What retain me back to seat is to see how amazingly Brad Pitt can turn to so young.

(I have classmates last year: Jenny, David, Samantha and Thana. Some went missing, some went off) This was taken last dec where exams ended, we went Suntec to dine, Bugis to shop, after which Jen had a surprise frm David..

I had 2 more in the list: Jac and Ame. I don’t regard them as classmate. Though in same class, I don’t discuss homework with them but funny lecturers. We went to eat Suki sushi ytd at Cine. I called it a triangle outing. Starter is Chawamesu(wrong spelling) which shocked me, like a half-boiled egg in form of yogurt and how tender the rolled salmon. Jac only eat salmon, same as me. I only considered Jap food if it’s raw. I’m abt to start another food blog soon. woo..

(photo coup frm Jaclyn) Funny head. First time take self-taken photo so not very natural. Talking abt classmate, I still haven’t do my homwrk.. sian..

Hi, can I borrow your notes? I started to talk to her and we exchanged msn, facebook, phone no.  We will see each other for studies, friend’s bdae, new year, xmas, as a group but there will always be her presence. Group outing of 8, turns into mini-outing of 4, to super-mini-outing of 2. Whenever she feels stress, she will look for me; I will hang out with her when I’m free by *bastarding* my friends. I enjoy her bubbly. I have seen her silly actions, funny expression, sorrow..

It wasn’t me. But does this ring a bell on your ears? Before any r/s, a strong foundation of friendship is vital. Know her character, her habits before you fall deep in.  Here a simple guide:

I’m *too stress* these days. I went to the pool without goggles. I crossed the road w/o noticing a big white car on the side. It halted abruptly.  I had been probed to talk, which usually I started the conversation, with a chatty friend.

The way people approaches life is the different between emo and happy person. To live a proactive life is too live without regrets when fully engaged, alive, enthu & in action in life. To commit yourself to proactive living:

1. Being a participant not an observer
2. Find out what you are tolerating in life, e.g. not good in talking, and u can make some changes to it.
3. Identify people who live life proactively, e.g. my friend Joanne, she’s enthu in joining sports event, and u can live to be like them.
4. Write a diary to the time you feel most proactive
5. Try new things. e.g. I want to try ice-ski with my mei.
6. Note down big and small actions to live proactively. hmmm e.g. find jokes to laugh everyday.

Someone say after being emo, you can become happy again. True. And you will back to “emo-ness” the next day. Do things you are enthu, like me I reflect and improve life frequently, Mr Emo will run away.

Most of our time, we are dealing with people. I will use two approaches. either reserved or crappy, when making friends at the start. There are wisdom and sensitivity to follow else problems may occurred.

1. Don’t ask personal things at the start of friendship. You can always ask later.
2. Don’t fall for opp sex friends whom are good to you. She/he is easy to go along but doesn’t mean he/she likes you.
3. Don’t judge the person’s character too soon. He’s friendly, cute and crappy but may turn out to be a lonely person who needs friends or one who is making use of friends or doesn’t treasure friends.

Many many other don’t. Don’t force a friendship. You may like to ADD to people’s lives but you may not be suitable. Don’t disrespect friends. It doesn’t mean we’re close, you can vent your anger at your friends. Don’t make use of friends. It’s obvious to see if you find the person when you need help.

Lastly, don’t become a victim with miserable people like me! It’s impt to be HAPPY ON YOUR OWN. If I choose to be miserable, it’s my own decision. If you choose to be as emo as me, it’ll not help me.

I make some changes in 2009. I make less calls and sms, less uninvited visit and colder.

It has been an one-sided thinking for any relation I have: We clicked well so I considered you one of my good friends. Some wishful thinking! I came to realise that some of them I don’t even go out with or care much when I considered them as “better-than-friend”.

I believe r/s it’s sth gives and takes. I have grown tired of giving w/o anything back.  I become calculating now. emo.

A recap on how my friends and I studied for the first 3 ACCA papers: complete all mock exams, revision book and teacher’s notes. There has been an unrealized theory in us: the more you do, the better you get; the only way to pass is to keep doing.

Taylor (scientific theory leader) says: “… there’s always the best method for efficiency”. During the study period, I was always finding ways to improve my study session and came up with my own study philosophy.

1. Time spends doesn’t matter how efficiency you use the time: spend 2 hours but achieve ½ efforts.
2. Most effective time is to study in the morning and 7pm onwards.
3. Have enough sleep to remain productive.
4. The 1^st goal of a student is to understand things at the shortest time aka efficiency.
5. Knowledge is gained thru practice and self-study; teachers’ play a small role.

Study methods:

1. Note-taking w examples or diagrams help to support the points.
2. Take down the type of questions which will come out for exams
3. Find out questions I do not know in advance.
4. Take down the actual time taken for each task to remain focus and compare w standard results to make changes and reflection.

These may not be the best content and process theory to study. It depends on each individual.

A service has 4 characteristic:
1. Simultaneity. It cannot be returned back.
2. Heterogeneous. It varies from your different person.
3. Intangible.
4. Perishable. It cannot be stored.

Why a service has such a reminscising feeling? It can nev be returned back or stored at that point of time, yet the music, the personality, the moment still lingers.  Heterogenous yet unique.

This was quite an old quiz during my poly times. I found accuracy to be more than 70%. Here’s the story:

One day u r walking to your bf/gf house. You can choose between 2 roads. One is a long road but it has nice scenery, short one, however, is just a mundane road.
Qns 1: which road will you choose?

On your way, you bought 20 roses to her.
Qns 2: how many red and white combination of roses will you choose?

Qns 3: Imagine you’ve reached her house, is she asleep or awake?

Qns 4: Where will you put the boutique of flower? In her room’s window or bed?

Qns 5: On your journey back,  you will take long or short road?

Ans:
1. Long: Take time to fall in love; Short - you fall easily
2. white: how much you expect in r/s; red: how much do you give in e r/s
3. asleep: expect who they are; awake: expect change in them
4. window: don’t need love assurance everyday; bed: needs love everyday
5. long: fall out of love for a long time; short: fall out of love easily

My personal ans:
Long road to enjoy scenery
17 white 3 red as too much red is quite “ni”(bland)
Awake else why I went to her house.
Window typically.
Short road to go back home to sleep.
