Disservice.

Just as I was talking about it yesterday, my box has reached Singapore and it’s sitting comfortably in the Jurong Point post office – I’ll go pick it up tomorrow!

One thing that I’m beginning to realise is that when we feel so strongly about one particular issue, do we really do something about it? Do we push on to make sure something bad doesn’t happen, or do we just withdraw ourselves and try to stay out of the issue? I realised that most of us tend to take the second approach. We withdraw in the light of challenge or difficulties, and not dare to push ourselves on to make a difference. If we don’t want something to happen, we tend to lack the guts and courage to challenge that situation. Worse still, when the bad situation actually happened, all we do is just sit in one corner and moan. We moan from dawn till dusk, but we conveniently forget that when the situation presented us a chance to challenge, we did not take up the challenge. So now when bad things happen, we have no one else to blame except ourselves. Silly, eh?

I think from now onwards I’ll try to adopt the mentality of challenge everything. It may be hard, but at least I try to do something about it if I don’t think that I like what I’m seeing.

Hangover.

Once again, I was punished by myself for the amount of alcohol I downed last night – I felt horrible for the entire day. A stinging headache, giddiness throughout the day, watery eyes, dry throat… man, I don’t think I want to endure this kind of horrible conditions again. Maybe I should really consider quitting drinking. As a result of my bad condition today, I didn’t really do much, to an extent I don’t even remember anything I did today.

The mid-term break is starting, though there really isn’t much break for me per se, as I have project discussions for these few days. Oh well, I haven’t been entirely hardworking at all for this semester so far, and I don’t even know if I can catch up with the amount of work that I’ve conveniently put aside for reasons I don’t even know.

Need to buy a new calculator – my personal one is still in the box on the way back from China. Or is it really coming back? I somehow have a feeling that the box is already lost somewhere…
