All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire.

Yoohoo, todae is my birthdae, was at chalet for the whole dae, veri fun but downtown is getting from worse to worser(if there is such a word). Again, another drought since the last time I wrote, 2 wks to be exact. Lots have happened but most are too insignificant or too senstive to touch on. Arhhh, november is almost gone, 45 mins left and still no hmwk done. Muz buck up coz still have perc fest ahead and i guess i do not have many daes left. tmr got comm meeting, hopefully it'll be productive this time coz i specially came back from chalet to sleep at hm juz to go for it.
hmm...lets cover an event in the past 2 wks. Lets see...methink tht the HCCO interaction is at least worth some coverage. Firstly, I reached Bishan at 8 and we left Bishan at 8.45 taking 156 to HCJC. On the bus, we met this cute TCHS sec one(i think) who came from the same sec sch as our dear chairman. As it turns out, he was in CO and going towads HCJC as well. Also, he appears adorable(at least at tht time), juz a little chatty. Then, we reached HC, after some blind searching, we finally found their LT3 and to only find out tht we were one of the first schs to arrive at 9.52, when the event starts at 10. The performance section was quite boring except for maybe SN's skit, pretty entertaining and I have to take my hat off to them for the amt of effort and planning.(Round of applause) Coming back to our cute sec 1, he utterly destroyed our fist impression of him, started calling our chairman names. But at least at tht time, we were too caught up to notice this pest. But after the performance during lunch, this little nasty pest was still badgering our dear chairman, and obviously, our chairman being so soft-hearted, did not take it up with him. However, our ex-vice-chairman decided to give him a piece of his mind and I think it shut him up pretty well. ha, he got nothing to say at the end. After lunch we had games, all are quite lame and somehow or another the grp me, zongjin and boyi are in manage a 3rd place finish. after the games, HCCO played the finale piece, hidamari ......., forgot the 2nd word, juz one yr after i dropped jap, rusty already. Anywae, it was supposed to be a band piece but they pulled it off pretty well cept for maybe the strings. When the strings came in, it sounded a little hollow but the dizi, I muz say is veri zai. They are able to produce a veri pure sound though their di2 mo4 usually make the sound fluffy. Two thumbs up for them, guess with more ppl in the strings, it would be veri nice. To end off the dae rather nicely, we had to meeting our dear Lin lao shi on bus 156 on our way home. I think i'll buy 4D with the bus plate no., veri lucky:(
Wishing all those sharing the same birhtdae with me
A HAPPY BELTATED BIRTHDAE
And the chance of this is veri high( it is proven tht in a grp of 27 ppl, the chance is 51%)
When I end this message, it is 20 mins away from the end of my birthdae:(
Stay tuned for the update on comm meeting tmr:)(:

To think tht the world is perfect is my mistake, To pray for the world to be perfect is your mistake, To hope tht the world would be perfect is our mistake becoz perfection is a concept, its like saying "assume there is no friction or air resistence" tht kind of thing.
Morpheus: Sooner or later you're going to realize, just as I did, there's a difference between knowing the path...and walking it.
Perhaps its the rain, i dunno, but it feels as if heaven is crying for us, the pathetic humans who oppose every law of nature, the creature that toppled the balance of nature, we use resources as if nature was not there and when resources run out, we occupy a new piece of land and start depleting its resources.
"Agent Smith: Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be
a perfect human world, where none suffered; where everyone would be
happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program.
Entire crops were lost. Some believed that we lacked the
programming language to describe your perfect world, but I believe
that as a species, human beings define their reality through misery
and suffering. So the perfect world we dreamed, but your primitive
cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why The Matrix was
redesigned to this...the peak of your civilization."
All I can say is that there's truth in it and perfection would remain a concept still until one dae I hope that smth might change. The movie Matrix holds much more than entertainment, it is a mirror, one tht chooses to be direct and honest, the philosophy behind it can be considered one of the greatest in mordern times and btw for those who dunno, Philosophy is a great subject in which its meaning have changed throughout the entire mankind history. It was said to be Aristotle who started it and define it as how the universe can about to Pythogarus who define it as math intertwined with life to confucius definition of how a man should live its life to todae's definition of simply what is life. The Matrix holds the truth, those who dun understand would nvr do but tht's the way life is, never perfect......
Morpheus: What is real? How do you define real? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see...then real is simply ... electrical signals interpreted by your brain.

A jest's prosperity lies in the ear of him that hears it, Never in the tongue of him that makes it.
have lots of time todae, going to crap quite a lot again, for those not wanting to strain their eyes, do not read on. Firstly, the narrative for todae. Went to sch at 10 to attend chin remidial. Unproductive time being wasted again as we took 2 hrs to go thru 2 levels od vocab. Luckily I finished 8 MCQ comprehension during that time, else would stone to death. Anw , just a casual comment, was thinking that some of the qns were asked for the sake of asking.
Life is a natural depressant, thats why we have endorphines stored inside our brains. Thinking is human's only advantage over animals, if we stop thinking, perhaps we would end up like beast again. The hols is a time to rest and relax, yes but more importantly, I think its a time review and reflect. Veri impt process as it forms the basis of our thinking. Its veri easy to tell if a person have done his own reflection during his own time, the most obvious signs for a positive can be found on one's conduct. Making a correction to ytd's statement, i was crapping, and i found out in the end that I still maintain that I will not change for others, but I will change for myself. The ppl around you are ur mirrors, ur every action and words are reflected in them, to change them, the only way is to change urself, coz the mirror can't possibly not reflect the light source. Sometimes when we ask why ppl around us are not up to our expectations, when this happens, i beseech u to look at urself first. Finger pointing will only makes things worse. Have u met up to their expectations, that u muz ask urself, coz for every action there's a reason, at least I believe in that.
Confused thoughts often lead to fruastration, yet it seems like man muz undergo all these. So often have we looked at an issue, ppl or anything that exist and we see 2 sides of it. We are thus confunded by these contradictory traits and smtimes make irrational decisions, yet in this complicated society, irrational decisions seem to be the norm for things to work. However, I choose to believe in the idealistic way of doing things- Keep everyone happy while making progress, it sounds impossible but it was us humans that make it impossible if it was up to anyone to make it possible, it will be us. Yes, I'm ranting here but I have warned earlier and I can tell u that 99.9recurring till a 8 appears percent that my belief will never come true but I will still not conform to the other extreme, call me a dreamer and i'll tell thats what i am and i do not deny it.

juz realized that my blog is not updated frequently, well.......exams are over and I'm supposed to have more time not less, it seems that though I have more time, I have more activities too.... The first 2 daes of hols went by quickly enough and I believe that more of this kind of daes are to come, well lets take things as they come....
Ytd was another of our "bowling outings", went to Yishun Safra to bowl. Finally, my average is above 100 though at the expense of a few sore fingers at the end of the dae. And in the morning, we were the first customers of LJS and sat there quite long playing Magic, thought that the staff were quite pissed...,haha...who cares.
Todae was another of a "working dae", though prac did not start at 9 rather at 2, i reached sch at 10 intending to do hmwk and practise. At 12, the Comm was supposed to meet at canteen to move instruments. Considering that round 10 ppl came, was rather a gd result on the fact that the announcement was sent in email, nothing much to say bout the attitude of ppl who came, shall leave out personal comments as they might be biased. The point is that it was round 1pm when we finished moving all the instruments and if we move at this speed, we will be outpaced by tortoises. Practise was rather mudane, considering that i only needed score for 1 out of the 6 or 7 songs we played, sound was okay at the atrium but temperature was not, keyboards instru were out of tune with orchestra. End of prac, LEK gave another of his dramatic speeches which addresses pertinent issues with much passion and hints.
Sub-paragraph
Juz like to say few things bout changes. Changes happen all the time and we change to keep up with change, thus it's a everlasting cycle that never ends. Change can be due to environment, influence and determination. If you are determined not to change, you will not. And I'm one that chooses to change as little as possible. I do not change myself to suit others, I rather ppl change to accept me, else, we can juz call it off. My views are different from most others, i can tell u that i'm more a thinker than a doer. Change is always so abstract, when we say "You've changed", do we mean I have changed but you have not or you have changed and I have not.... Thus I choose not to judge ppl, coz judging others is to judge urself, and I feel that I'm not ready to do that and my belief is that no one in this world is able to......
Nothing gold can stay
