Mundaneity ends

 

A few good things happened the last couple of days. It was a refreshing turn of events after weeks mundane living with no real source of happiness to look forward to.

On Monday, after 38 days, the silence has been broken. I'm not sure whether fate has played a part or was it just a plain coincidence, but it is always great for something to occur when you're least expecting it. But I won't be getting all swoon over though for I've learnt my lesson. Nevertheless, I'm still happy that such events has occurred.

No test this week, so I shall take a little bit of breather before the combo 3-quiz-in-2-days test next week! Oh, I realised that the lecturers are starting to know me, or at least relate my face to my name. And that can only be good or bad. Although I'm starting to shudder at its implications, I shall also remain positive! haha! =))

That's all, nothing much to blog. Happy midweek tomorrow!

Attitude

 

Why must there be condescending people around?

No matter how smart they are or how intellectual they appear to be, it does not give them the right to show a patronizing attitude to a fellow human being!!

I learnt my lesson today. I shall not ask for help from such people again. It'll just make my blood pressure rise.

Pissed!

Diverge

 

It seems you have started to distance yourself from me. Maybe I'm just being sensitive, but that's just the way it seems.

If it's true, even if our paths should never crossed again, I'm glad that they did at some point in my life. And I'm always thankful for that.


That being said, I guess I deserve to know someone better.

Down

 

Feeling so down today. A bad time when there's a test tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be a better day. I hope...

Miracles do happen

 

It's the weekend once again. But as it has always been since school started, it's not a free weekend! There are still tons of work to be done.

Anyway, I got back my term quiz for my physical chem and miraculously, I survived the paper! Not sure how, but yeah, I managed to scrape through. It appears though that my prayers have been answered. That being said, I shall not rest on my laurels and will work harder for future test and the final exam. And I shall not pay attention to the negative opinions of the lecturer but treat it as a form of reverse psychology instead. Jia You to me!

On Wednesday, I have one of those awkward moments again. Was at the library waiting for lecture when this person (the one I've mentioned in my previous posts) came out of the lift. I looked up and looked at her and for a good 4 to 5 seconds, my mind went blank suddenly. Not sure how my face looked like then, whether I smiled or showed neutral expression, but yeah, I was like startled and shocked for that few seconds!

Whatever it is, I shall continue to be friendly, in my own kind of way. I shall continue to smile to familiar people around me, even if they think I'm crazy. I shall continue to help within my capabilities whenever possible and without any other intentions. Whether they appreciate or reciprocate them is not important for me as I don't want to expect anything in return. In essence, I shall continue to do things that make me happy.

At this point, I would like to thank Ms Fiona for all her inspirational posts in her blog. On my bad days, or whenever I feel down, paying a visit to her blog and reading all her cheerful updates will drive the blues away. It's amazing how long we have been virtual friends - 6 years, and still continue to be one. Once again, thank you Fiona for your posts, your encouragements and most importantly, your presence in my life! =)

The Square Root of 3

 

Something is bothering my mind today. But I'm not sure what it is. I can't concentrate in what I do as my mind is wandering elsewhere.

Nonetheless, I found this very nice piece of poem written by David Feinberg. It's also featured in 'Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay'.

I fear that I will always be
A lonely number like root three

The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed

I find it very unique, in making use the irrational number, and yet very romantic.

It makes me wonder though, will I ever find my square root 3?

Strange

 

Okay, the hell week is finally over. How did it went? Well, not too well it turns out. Today's paper is a killer. Out of the 5 or 6 questions, I could only answer one of them and that only probably carries one mark out of the possible total of 10 marks for the paper. The questions posed were totally unexpected. It's very frustrating and demoralising when you've spent so much time studying but when the test finally come, what appears before you seems alien to you. I've spent a considerable amount of time to study for the tests, especially sacrificing my interaction and playing time with my niece. But what did I get in the end? Not much. It's situations like this that makes you wonder the use of studying after all, whether you're fit enough to be in the course. Maybe I'm just stupid.

The other 2 papers went quite okay, although amongst the 3, I think the physics paper was probably the most doable. Next week will be the e-learning week. I'll only have to come to school for lab and tutorial for two of the days. Hopefully, during this week, I can go and recharge and re-energize myself, and have some much needed rest, before the last third, and most crucial time, of the semester starts.

On another topic, I think my course have some strange and interesting people. While some of them can brighten up your day, there are others who would leave you with questions. I noticed that there is this person who would occasionally look at me in class or wherever we bump outside. I know, because even though I'm not looking, my eyes always wander around. The thing is, when I tried to look back, or give a smile back, she would instantly look elsewhere. Maybe it's my look cos I know sometimes I have this cold-face-killer look (a term originated back in the poly days). Or maybe it's due to my unintelligent brain that drives away people. But still, I guess there are people who cannot appreciate the kind of friendliness other people showed to them. And that's sad. Really sad. Ah, well, my mind is already occupied with a lot of things. I don't think I need more questions to fill it.

 I'm feeling so tired right now. Might be due to the staying up late and catching only a few hours of sleep for the past few days. I shall try to sleep early tonight.

Ciao!
