Haha.
This Christmas period basically summed up the whole of my year... In the few short days/week before and after.
This seriously cannot be happening man... I still cannot believe it. When I finished it that day I was so confident that I could be successful. This only means that everything I thought I knew is totally WRONG. Haha.
I'm totally stunned right now. Just... Stunned. I can't stop thinking about it, even though thinking about it makes me wonder... How the heck did it happen? And makes me even more depressed than I already am. Haha. Great. Compound my misery. As if I don't have enough to handle already.
Yes, continue to taunt me with your MSN pics.
I'm going to be an incredibly screwed up doctor in the future.

Hope
There's still hope for us yet.
While travelling back from driving lessons on the MRT today, I saw a woman offer her seat to an elderly man, who politely declined. The only downside was... The woman seemed to be a foreigner. Oh well. Still Singaporean I trust =) There's still hope for us yet.

Jack Of All Trades
I've always wondered... Is it too much to ask of people to be better than you at certain things?
The way I figure it, I see myself as an outstandingly mediocre person. Mediocre in studies, in sports, in photography, in music etc. Not special or brilliant in anything... I don't seem to have a niche. I'm what you would call a "jack of all trades, master of none".
So I always set myself as a benchmark when I view the performances of other people. It's kind of like... Since I can do it, anyone should be able to as well. Seems to make sense, doesn't it?
Well, I don't know... Sometimes I'm surprised when I can do something that other's can't... Cos most of the time the opposite happens to me. I don't deem myself an expert in anything. As a result I may make too excessive demands of people. Oh well. I don't know. Lolz.
I was born to be a speedster man. Driving is fun, and shifting gears up and up and up is super-duper easy. But braking and shfiting gears down is super hard. Hahahaha. Need more practice!
Rehearsal again tomorrow... I can't wait for those two days to be over. It's like waiting for your execution or death sentence to be carried out... After those two (undoubtedly disastrous) days are over, I'll have a serious weight lifted off my shoulders man. Lol.

Contemplative
Ever wondered how much of an impact you would make on other people's lives if you suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth?
I don't think I would affect many people.

Bruised
Why is it there seems to be sporadic moments where nothing seems to go right at all. It's like you're a boxer punching above your weight, and blow after blow just rains down on you till you either give up, or crumple into a heap.
I guess the only thing I can do is keep my head down and weather the storm, and hope that I'll survive till the next... "cease-fire".
I thought blogs were supposed to be a place where you could express yourself. But I guess privacy is something that we all lack and fail to respect nowadays. Heh. Go figure.
I'm just so damn tired.

Vulture
Everytime I think about it, I think of a vulture. Vultures are scavengers. They wait for their adversary to give up what little he has before swooping in for the kill.
The vulture adopts a "sit back and watch while my opponents tear each other apart, and then I'll be the ultimate winner in the end" approach. Cunning and dishonorable, yet for him, the ends justify the means.
But even before it had ended, the vulture had already made his presence felt. Before the decision had been made, the vulture had decided to stake his claim for his prize... And it was evident that after his adversary had given up, he stepped in and picked up the scraps, eventually getting what his wily tactics and cowardly play gained him.
Probably explains why in their territory, vultures are the top of the food chain.
Well, what's done is done, and you can't take back what you did. It's lost forever to you, so you might as well move on without it, like you thought you managed to do before.
On a lighter note, in my super bored down-time in between all the insane (and probably futile) mugging that I've been doing lately, I've drawn up my own Xbox 360 games wishlist! Woohoo!
1. Halo & Halo 2 (haha I "finished the fight" before even starting it... want to complete the story!)
1. Halo & Halo 2 (haha I "finished the fight" before even starting it... want to complete the story!)
2. WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2008 ECW Invasion (yeah... I'm a sucker for WWE)
3. Mass Effect (if my friend's MSN pm is correct, it's out already!!! Must-have!)
4. Call of Duty 4
Omg that's like 5 Xbox 360 games... This is gonna set me back like $350. Unless I can get Halo and Halo 2 on cheap since they're old games haha... Yes looking forward to gaming spree after my exams! (Yes Jon Teo, this means you have to come game-shopping with me lololol)
4 days to go! Okay back to studying unless I wanna flunk out of med school.

Many Happy Returns!
I just want to take some time off to say...
Congratulations to my big sis for clearing her finals and getting her Law degree! I'm so sorry I can't be there for the graduation ceremony on 17th April 2008... It's the final day of my First Professional M.B.B.S. Examinations =( now it's time to look to the future and see what oppotunities lie ahead of you! =D
And...
Happy birthday to Matilda! JC classmate of 2 years and future colleague in the hospital (given that I don't flunk out of Medicine). I hope you had a fantastic 19th birthday =)

Futility
You were wrong Celeste.
I will now attempt to resume the "Zen" state... With what's left of my dignity and self-esteem.
True ignorance is true bliss.
"Teardrop" by Massive Attack
Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Feathers on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my breath
In the night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my...
Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Feathers on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my breath
You're stumbling a little
You're stumbling a little
