HOORAY!! YEAH YEAH *CLAPS* IT’s OVER…for now…I still have UT 2 and UT 3 to jump across =( 1 paper down 2 more to do and then that’s year 3 modules for ME!!!! Well….how was the paper? (Reuel asked) My answer…simply difficult…haha oxymoron, that’s what Ling would call it. It’s simple yet too simple that it’s scary!!!! That’s how ironic students get…too hard we complain, too easy we also complain!!! Isn’t there such thing as a so-so paper in this world?
I got this inspirational from Min’s blog (credits to HER!!!)
“I don’t have to be wise to know that someone who’s suffering doesn’t just accept it,” Dawan retorted heatedly. “People learn to struggle, to fight against the pain in life.”
“But what for? In the long run, what for?” the monk demanded. “Can’t you understand that we all die in the end, whether it is at seven or seventy? People live their whole lives pretending they won’t die, taking everything as seriously as if they will live forever. Don’t you realize that even if you help a little now, or manage to change things to a small extent,
none of this will last?”
“It doesn’t have to last!” Dawan cried. “As long as there’s some improvement in things,
even if it’s only for awhile, it’s a worthwhile effort.”
“So many people have tried to improve things, child, but…..”
“But I still want to try!” Dawan interrupted earnestly, her eyes gleaming. “Even if you’ve tried, and failed, even if thousands of thousands before you have tried and failed, I want my chance to try too!”
- from Sing to the Dawn, Minfong Ho
The thing that yelled out to me, was the spirit of wanting to try. Even though we know that there are slim chances of every succeeding, we should still try because we never know when this little effort of trying could one day become something big. If we just gave up, everything would be lost then. The only difference between this girl in the passage and me, is that my effort of TRYING has GOD inside. Seriously, if I ever enter a University of the course of my choice esp in Singapore, it would be the work of GOD..cos just look at my freaking grades!!!!! (HINT: Poly students arn’t really at the winning end when it comes to collage admissions in SG)
Anyway: HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Hilmi and HAPPY 21st!!!! to beloved ROUS!!!! Adult le hor….hehehe
