If you really know me...

Just watched an episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show...and I was touched to tears.
I'm abit overwhelmed to describe what that episode was about, but it was a powerful one. Made me realise how I shouldn't be treating someone from my class, how lonely and isolated people are in this world...And that I'm keeping much more things to myself than I actually think I am.
Things that I don't even tell my closest friend. Not that I can't, but that we're both busy, and don't have the luxury to talk to each other so often. Still, I'm glad that he's doing well...
Coincidentally, I had a good talk with another of my closer friend...it came as a surprise. I suppose it's no one's fault that the friendship was beaten into such bad shape, and of course we need time for things to go back to what it was. I was comforted by his words (and I believe he meant it), and am glad that we decided to put all misunderstandings behind us.
Misunderstandings can make or break. I'm grateful that it is the former for me most of the time.

It's been a week or so since I last posted. It was prelims, then slacking, and more slacking.
I think I will start only tomorrow, and hopefully I can finish the things that I want to do.
Someone told me that my life is a sad one a few days ago. I won't deny that, but still, I'm okay with my life. I'm not complaining about it, although it definitely could be better.
Which brings me to the concept of true joy. I debated whether joy is subjective or objective in nature, and came to the conlcusion that the concept is objective, but the feeling itself is subjective. Given the same circumstances, the emotions experienced differ from person to person.
Ultimately, you decide how you want to feel, at least in the long term. My life could be hard, with not many friends to go out with, no siblings, no one to talk to at times, and the list goes on. Yet, I learnt to appreciate what I have even more, and stay contented with what I have. I could, on the other hand, choose to complain about the unfairness of life.
Maybe I am immune to the disappointment that life brings. Regardless, such mentality is difficult to change once set. To those who find no purpose in life, I urge them to find one soon.
Lead a life that you want to lead, for you only live this once!

i just forced down 2/3 of a packet of rice down my stomach...feeling damn bloated now. well, i don't eat that much for breakfast...ok, brunch i mean.
i really have been sleeping too much lately. that means other than sleeping, the only things I do are watching tv, doing abit of exercise and studying. (fine if you want to include visits to the toilet.)
which explains why my posts are so brief and unelaborated.
I think this poor blog of mine deserves better, so I will TRY my best to write a more elaborated post after my prelims...that's provided if I have time. There's some packing to do...my room is in a horrible mess.
Back to studying now. GO!!!

自己在家呆了一个星期，感觉还蛮爽的。。。在家里也没做什么，看看电视，睡睡觉 (当然还有读书啦！)。。。但是我喜欢这种生活。想做什么就做什么，真自由。
可惜，又要面对现实了。A 水准就快来了。。。就算没有A 水准，也得面对现实呀。世界一直都在改变，而且还越变越快呢。。。
我，是个矛盾的人。我喜欢和讨厌改变。这又从何说起。。。
