"The rivers and seas lead the hundred streams, because they are skillful at staying low. Thus they are able to lead the hundred streams. Therefore, to rise above people, one must, in speaking, stay below them. To remain in front of people, one must put oneself behind them. Therefore Sages remain above, and yet the people are not weighted down. They remain in front, and the people are not held back. Therefore the world willingly elects them, and yet it does not reject them. Because they do not compete, the world cannot compete with them" - Tao de jing
Risks.
How many of us would be willing to take one? Unwillinglying, I belong to the lesser group. As much as i want to be brave and live my life to the fullest, I am a coward by nature.
So what have I done this year?
Nothing much except for beliving that i can balance my studies with my passion, after which I failed miserably. I had a wish and it was granted. I threw it away without even blinking an eye. Hell.
I had expectations a tad too high for myself.
Some may see this as living in my own past. I do not disagree, but I firmly believe that there's plently for me to learn while I am reflecting. I will learn from the past.

I am tired. Keeping this short, but sweet.
Its a known fact that it flies without wings.
Einstein once dubbed it the 4th dimension of this world and said that someday it would be possible to manipulate it..
Its none other than Time. Time can be the medicine for all wounds, but its also the one and only source of wounds..
But then again, it is possible for us to go back in time. Sounds impossible? Technology is advanced. The only way possible is..
By viewing the past photos/videos that one has taken b4 the point of time.. It is actually travelling back.. Has anyone here not taken a glance at your childhood photos? Memories just come flowing back don't they? Your loved ones teaching you how to cycle.. The time when u fell down and cried like there was no tomorrow.. The time you ran home from school wanting to break the good news of your good results..
Cherish your photos.
I am sad at the growing number of friends who deleted their blogs recently.. Congrats. You guys just officially destroyed your pathway back the timeline(=
The other reason for blogs. The ability to travel back. Psychologically.
Alright. Lets move on to the next part of this post.Whats 11-1?
In a classroom, 11-1 = 10
11 apples minus an apple = 10 apples yea?
In a battlefield, 11-1 = 11 ( Modern technology, the number of soldiers in it dosent really matters already yea?)
In the mind of a joker, 11-1 = 1
You have 11. Take away one of the 1s and the answer is 1?
ALright. The main thing im trying to say is coming up. ( Inspiration from some blogs unrelated to what im saying here)
In a football field. 11 - 1 = Zero.
One for all. All for one!

English?
When its time to part with people you love and cherish, how do you part? By saying a simple "Goodbye"? Yes, theres nothing wrong with goodbye, but it has "no strings attached".
Why? Because if you translate goodbye into chinese.. Its "再见". 因为我相信..说了再见就会再见 (=
Just a short short post in which I wish to express myself more..

Life has been bad. Real bad.
First reason. Homework,performance in school.
I hate the fact that everything that one does will be included in one's final GPA. During the sec sch, homework is almost non-existent, homework does not affect your O lvls result. In poly, every homework is important. Damn.
Second reason. SOMEONE CUT AWAY ALL THE TREES ALONG THE ROUTE FROM MY HOUSE TO PIONEER MRT STATION.
I am super pissed off because of this. Now I have to walk under the hot sun for 10mins. More ever, it is not environmentally friendly(like I care -.-) Screw that person who gave the instruction to cut the trees.
Third reason. SOMEONE CONVERTED MY FAVOURITE FIELD INTO A CARPARK. I have been playing football there since primary school.
Forth reason. My laptop spoiled. Just before MST. No more practice for autocad is a a good thing. But how the hell am I gonna take the exams?
Thats about it for today. I feel old.
