simple thoughts...

'the power of literature is clear: it can continue to unsettle us and make us question even our most closely held beliefs' - Eaglestone Robert

It is that power that honestly scares me...to question everything even one's faith, means honestly it seems as though you have nothing to hold on, nothing to anchor you to the ground and that idea scares the shit out of me...

I think English more than a difficult discipline is a scary discipline because it seems to put weird thoughts into your head.....lolsss or maybe it is just me on a quiet rainy night....hmmm
Btw, I meant English Literature....

On another note, I think it is truly annoying when a lecturer forces his answer on you indirectly. Suggesting that his answer is the only true answer, I mean fine he has like way more experience than us. Still....can't he just let us try different ways of answering the question. I mean that's the reason why most of us take humanities right because we are sick of the 'you are either right or wrong' judgement. Plus now that we are in university, can't he just give us thought provoking questions that makes us think rather than freaking throw the answer on us. Thinking for yourself is more effective right...

Despite saying all those 'noble' stuff, I am going to contradict myself and admit that I honestly don't mind if he gives hints and practically throws exam questions on us to better prepare us for the exams. HAHAHAHAH after all we live is sad grade driven , money driven world.
And well I am caught in the grade driven world I hope I won't fall into the money driven part....because the last thing I want to be is a emotionless money making machine.

chocobos

Have been playing chocobo tower on facebook recently and I really love the chocobo it is so absolutely cute!!!!

presenting fatty chicken!! I have sent it to retirement though...

Presenting Aoi Chicken!!! Aoi means blue. I am bias towards Aoi!! HAHAHA

As most Final Fantasy players would know. Chocobos are very common in Final Fantasy game. I remeber spending close to an hour in FF7 back then breeding a golden chocobo so that I can use it as a transport to reach a place in the game that can only be reached using a chocobo. You must be thinking what's so special about that place. Well it was a very special place becuase that place contains the strongest summon - Knights of the Round.

Chocobos in FF7....ah those were the days...

Chocobo in FFXII - the game that I have yet to touch becuase of school...sighs

looks like we were right

Today I came back to the conclusion I had years ago...k fine two years ago. Lolsss I make it sound like ten years or something. I am not fit to do literature. As much as I am in love with it, it seems like what my GP teacher told me holds true. You either have the flare for it or you don't and when you don't you have to work your butt off. Unfortunately as is always the case for me, I obviously don't have the language much less the flare for lit so in other words I have to freaking work my butt off. However, being the lazy person that I am, I can only work hard for like a short period before I get sick of it all and just heck. Like now...which explains why I am blogging despite the fact that I have lots of work to do.

Another personal conclusion that I came up with today is that History assignment is so much harder to do than lit but that does not necessarily that mean that one would get a better grade. As mention before, if you have the flare for lit, you can start on the essay the day before and get pretty awesome results but if you start on history the day before (including the readings), than honestly good luck to you brave soul.

Alright I shall stop my lame ranting. All these opinions and lame conclusion are my own. Which have sadly proven itself to be true, at least to me. (I think that made it even sadder lolsss)

Alright off to watch Fairy Tail. It is a pretty awesome anime. Dreading tomorrow's useless lecture. I think I need a social life...anyone care to take me out for spin around town?

The drawing looks very One Piece but apparently it is not...odd.. The man behind Fairy Tail is the same man behind Rave....but the drawing style looks so different.

On a random note, I think that deep down inside people don't really change. We try to but in the end we will go back to being ourselves, the person we are comfortable with. At least that's how I feel. I think that sometimes when we think people change it is more likely that the person we know before was perhaps the person trying on a new identity. Then, again a gradual change does seem possible. Hmmm...oh well whatever too lazy to think about such things.

Heard a quote that stuck with me, not to say I agree with it but somehow it got stuck on my mind the moment i heard it
-' You only feel truly alive when you see someone else dying'

just a thought..

Saw a few people eating this and decide to finally try it. I love love love love it!!!!!!! So damn freaking soft chewy and nice~ Go try it!!! =)

Lit class was interesting today. The topic discussed was interesting. I kind of agree that Singapore has religious tolerance but there seem to be a lack of religious respect as observed today. It will be great if not only Singapore but that the whole world can move towards respecting rather than simply tolerating each others' religion. If only people can see the beauty and tradition of the different religions that would be an awesome achievement for civilization.

I think it is because that people are so blinded by hate and self importance that there is so much violence, pain and hatred in this world. This I believe starts from believing that your religion is superior to others of failing to see that other religions is just as beautiful and important to them as your religion is to you.

As idealistic as I may sound I do truly truly wish that true religious harmony can be archive in this world.

Peace & Love goes a long beautiful way~

meet up

Kinda regret not going KL with my parents....

Had a great time with the JC peeps on Firday! Spent about 5hours at Old Town coffee house just chit chatting away. Went to City Square after that to continue chit chatting. Was kind of lazy to meet them at first but after that I really did not feel like leaving. Super fun bunch to hanging out with. I really do miss them and jc days. Alphy kinda force me to relog back into cabal because he is currently playing the game. After about a year I finally relog back into cabal....and man the game has change alot. Don't understand it no more. Now I kind of feel like playing....gah what the hell, shall resist till school holidays. Tp was asking about L4D and i realise i do miss that game too...shall find them and go lan once I am done with exams.

Hate it when my throat feels dry....

no more ftt!

WOOHOO!! I pass my final theory test!!! Somehow for this week it had been rather difficult to study properly with the test at the back of my mind. Now that it is over I can concentrate better....hopefully that is.
This week feels relatively relaxing. I guess it is probably due to the fact that I have nothing due for this and next week.
However, come to think about it, I am actually very far behind with my readings. After next week there will be 4 assignments due one week after another followed by exams. In other words, I am not very free am I? Sighssss
Alright, better not slack!
Went to watch The Legend today with sis. It was not bad! I am going to try and find the book.
