Pre-CNY Feeling

Year 2008... It has been a rough ride for me. Studies, friendships and health (partly)... all deteriorating.

No one really knows how I feel. I'm not stressed or sad because of studies, which people always assume so. It's because a friendship has turned sour. A friend who in the past I always thought will never ignore me. But as the law of nature dictates, nothing is permanent. The same applies to people's feelings.

Why did they change?
I didn't know.
Did I expect too much?

Basically, I just expect my good friend will never look down on me (even though I am not smart), as this is the thing which I detest the most. This is true for anyone. There's bound to be at least 1 thing which they hate the most.

Did they ever realise what they had said?
It really hurts.
Am I wrong to be angry?
Don't I have the right to be angry?
Why do people have the idea that I will never get angry?

I don't know how my good friends think of me. What I know is that I have always treasured them deep down in my heart. It's a hard cold fact that I am not very expressive or communicative, but I never despise my good friends!

How will you feel when your good friends...
Purposely avoiding eye contact with you while chatting?
Asked you out but ignored you most of the time?

Maybe people think I don't care about them by not chatting a lot with them.

Why do people always make assumptions on me?
Why do people always judge me from the surface alone?
Why do people think I will never change from their 1st impression of me?
Why am I not given a chance?

Maybe I am not an important friend to them at all. But they are important to me. That's why I am angry. Maybe I am not the type who shows the obvious way of expressing concern.

Silence is Golden

A lot of times, it's really hard to stay optimistic.
Despite putting in effort, it's so easily destroyed.
Just by a simple act or a few words.

If someone do or ask something not due to his/her own intentions,
or afraid of being criticised for not doing or asking it,
Then why bother? Save it.
Use it for other more meaningful purposes.

It's tiring.
In the past, not voicing out is inadequate.
Now, voicing out is ignored.
So why bother?

New Year 2009

Here I am! Blogging shortly after the arrival of Year 2009, while having my supper (fried instant noodles with sliced carrots), viz. my newest creation. Simply love its aroma & taste!

Stayed at home almost the entire day. Did a bit of FYP & went to Jurong Point to have dinner. I saw huge crowded mass of people, busy celebrating the New Year.

Below is my little summary of the past year and wishes for the New Year.

Year 2008

What I lost most:

1) My studies (lost enthusiasm, planning & thinking abilities)
2) Trust of others
3) Good relations with others

What I gained most:

1) A true friend, who has helped overcome many of my long-existing obstacles in life
2) A FYP which I like a lot
3) A caring & nurturing FYP supervisor, who greatly inspires me with his philosophy & rigour

What I have achieved:

None, except made people dislike & hate me more

What I planned to do, but didn’t do:

1) Daily exercise
2) Eat healthily
3) Get enough sleep

What I regretted the most:

Deeply disappointed Prof Arvind with my blurness, extremely-slow progress & unsystematic way of doing FYP

Year 2009

What I wish most :

Good health for my family & relatives, friends & myself

What I want to achieve:

1) Do FYP properly
2) Find a good job
3) Bring my parents here (hopefully)
4) Set a new direction in life
5) Live healthily

What I want to gain most:

Trust of people around me

What I want to lose most:

1) Frequent fatigue
2) Stupidity
3) Blurness

That’s about it.
