Of sch, people, funny dialogues, and self-motivation

And so today marks the third week of school...and already i've had tests, quizzes and assignments either done or due soon. I'm even supposed to have even finished reading a whole book by now...but...oh well...good book though..."Emotional Awareness" by Paul Eckman and the Dalai Lama. Its enlightening!

Met up with both my poly gang of guys and my sec sch buddies...certainly had some "interesting" conversations..

When with my sec sch buddies...

Stinko: What are all these bro?
Hanz: Stuff from my previous relationship...5 years ago...
Stinko: 5 years ago?!?!?!
Hanz: Yup, thats why i'm gonna burn them...
*starts burning the random stuff*
Stinko: ...if i followed ur mentality and burnt stuff from my last r/s...half my house would have been burnt down ;P

We ended up chatting the whole nite thru...the gang of sec sch brudders...enjoyed it thoroughly...

Even had an interesting conversation with my mother while i chauffeured her around...

Mother: you remember my colleague uncle ah beng? His son juz got accepted to be a government scholar! his son is the out-spoken kind, will go far one...most likely will be in politics...
Stinko: uh-huh...
Mother: then remember uncle ah seng? His son also very clever! got scholarship to study for phd...these people...are so smart...
Stinko: yupz...scary...mother...can i ask you a question?
Mother: Yar?
Stinko: What happened to your son?
*Mother chuckles*

If mother did not have a sense of humor, i would have essentially shot myself in the foot with dat qn... :P

Often times this year as i was stoning...i reminded myself that i was gonna be 25...reaching a quarter-life crisis...OMG! Gotta motivate myself to improve! to be better! GO!

How Do I Love Thee?

Sonnet #43, From the Portuguese

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, - I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose,
I shall but thee better after death.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Of the New Year and New things

And so it is officially 2010, Happy New Year? Perhaps, though it means a new sch term which is gonna start in a couple of hours, new classes, new class mates, though close buddies still remain close, thankfully, and of course, my one true love :P

I gave up making resolutions because i never get to keep them...and because not keeping my resolutions make me feel bad...i've all the more given up on resolutions...so i wont feel so bad...

Nonetheless, a new year to look forward to, with my loved ones :)
