drunk on air

alcohol is definitely not my friend... i wonder why everyone is hype-ing bout highs you get after drinking when all i can manage is just a sinking feeling. I prefer just breathing in air, with my earphones plugged in. =)

复刻回忆

你还好吗 好久不见
又来这里 这个老店
后来的你 喜欢了谁
我们 聊聊天

现在的你 一样美丽
至於爱情 是个回忆
她不爱我 他离开你
爱会来 就会去

在不同的城市努力
偶尔也会想想你
这样的我 那样的你
要很久才相聚

我们都没说那遥远的曾经
我们也没提故事的原因
青春的复刻回忆像一片云
没法子抓在手里

我们的眼泪在复习着过去
我们的微笑是彼此的氧气
复刻的回忆是封挂号信
多远都可以找到你

窗外的树 爱哭的风
烦恼的我 聪明的你
爱是什麽 什麽人懂
所以 别难过

心还痛吗 请忘了吧
所谓幸福 是个童话
后来的我 一切随意
所以 没关系

在不同的城市努力
偶尔也会想想你
这样的我 那样的你
要很久才相聚

我们都没说那遥远的曾经
我们也没提故事的原因
青春的复刻回忆像一片云
没法子抓在手里

我们的眼泪在复习着过去
我们的微笑是彼此的氧气
复刻的回忆是封挂号信
多远都可以找到你

午后的闷热的窗外的一场大雨
让我们看见了以前的自己
把时光倒转回那一季
那年的梦 他乡的你

sweet.... fantastic lyrics.....

running to nowhere...

AHM was on Sun. Crazy build-up to it I must admit. Woke up at 7 to go NUS for make-up lect, went down to King Albert's Park there for tuition after the lect, then made my way back to NUS for CO welcome tea. That's just less than half the programme I had for the day. Next up was OG outing at city hall (at first it was bugis), then followed by esther's farewell and ack's bday celebration at mushroom pot in somerset. Then, went airport to send situ off to US before following the 6A guys out to fengshan market for supper. Reached home at a niffy 12.30 thanks to hasu going out of the way to send me home. Showered, surf net for a while and went to sleep at 1.30 +am, woke up at 3.45am to prepare for the run. Went to wait for NR service only to realise that the website cheat ppl one, the last service ends at city hall at 4.30am not start. Luckily, there were 2 other runners stranded like me and we cab pool to padang. Finally started the run 5.30am. Ran a cui 2.5 hr timing but glad that i even finished it, considering the schedule i had the day b4.

One of my christian friend once told me that running was like having a convo with god. While I do not share the same religious views, I do agree that running allows you to see things differently, especially things that you are caught up with in the heat of the moment. It's kind of like Einstein's relativity, that when you move, you experience time more slowly, so there's a sort of surrealism edge to your thinking, which allows you to separate your short-term emotions from your long term hard standing values. ( this is purely my hypothesis, it is NOT scientifically proven)

One of my epiphanies actually went : You know that only one thing matters, so why bother about the rest of the questions.....

I quote from Kite Runner : "For you, a thousand times over."

the culture factor

" Go to any Western college campus and you'll find that Asian students have a reputation for being in the library long after everyone else has left. Sometimes people of Asian background get offended when their culture is described this way, because they think that the stereotype is being used as a form of disparagement. But a belief in work ought to be a thing of beauty . Virtually every success story we've seen in this book so far involves someone or some group working harder than their peers. " taken from Outliers by Malcolm Galdwell

In short, OUTmug every single one of them... lolz...

entitlement

knowing your own standing and weight, and hence demanding a corresponding amount of attention and freedom - that is.... the modern definition of entitlement. In the general case of successful people, they are usually the ones that can go into a situation with minimum information, extracts the maximum useful information he needs and then input the right amount of "reactive action" to achieve maximum utility(ie,. equipped with entitlement) Information is truly the most powerful weapon and hence only with the empowerment of knowledge will a sense of entitlement be built into people.
