The Climb

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle, 
Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose, 
Ain't about how fast I get there, 
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

This one is a bit random but after listening to yesterday's PINTU radio with DJ Stephen about challenges in life and after a whole week of grueling marketing project, it makes me realize what kind of person i am when it comes to getting things done.. in facing challenges..

I feel that when it comes to challenges, in the case of university life is getting the project done, it really brings out the best and worst in people... the stress that gradually building up can really snap the sh*t out of anyone... we want to get things done quickly and perfectly but sometimes we are reluctant to take the extra mile... we dump stuff to others and expecting them to do them perfectly, while we whine about the amount of work that we have... we get angry when our mates can't finish their stuff(or don't even bother about it) and feel that we are the one who have to clean the crap out... 

While i am not the person who always get somewhere or somethings on time and swiftly, i believe in getting the fun-factor, the experience out of everything that i do... i believe that there are no challenges that one cannot overcome... everything is possible.. it's just that our short-sightedness prevent us from seeing what actually lay ahead... we judge everything by what we see without giving enough thoughts on anything... we speculate and accuse something with just a little information we had... we put our arguments without looking on the other's point of view...

I feel that no matter what we do we just have to learn something out of it... no matter how high the mountain is, what we will remember at the end of the day is the hardship and experience we take climbing it... and these mountains will keep on coming one after another... after taking over one, the next one will be easier as we already done it before, though some are higher than the previous one but with the lesson we learned, it won't be that hard...

So the lesson to be learned is to take challenges head on... no matter how big it is, we will be able to overcome it... open our eyes and look for the way... it is not always rainbows and butterflies... but we have to keep trying... and you'll see that sometimes the mountain we've been climbing is just a grain of sands (kudos to Carrie Underwood!! ^^)

this post is a reminder to myself... be positive and have fun in doing your job...Ain't about how fast I get there, Ain't about what's waiting on the other side...It's the climb

My Life Would Suck Without You

Hey... another post... glad to see that more people start to look through this blog... anyway just as said last time, i am so busy this week... a lot of stuff to do so the updating is a bit late

The week is kinda hectic for me.. firstly s

tart from NTU Open House last saturday... i was very excited to go to this event... and surely i did have fun... meeting some of the juniors from SRJC and know that they are doing well is very nice... my job at the open house was as a student ambassador and i did my job freakin' well haha... then i went to help out with my IEM 

people to "psycho" the people to go to our cou

rse... and i think i was able to brainwash some of them lol.. well this one sounds bad but yeah IEM is so much fun! (this one is sincere^^)...

The week started off with Accounting assignment to do... and i gotta do the presentation for it on wednesday... everything went well buy during the presentation, i felt that the teacher does not like me that she kept on asking me questions, write stuff on the board etc... furthermore the air-con was off during that time and it was super hot... though i managed to make a quite good presentation but still... she doesn't like me!

Tuesday got lab session... it was a computer lab kinda stuff so we just sit in front of the comp and write a program... and seriously i hate this kind of stuff...  it was a total waste of time and i didn't understand a single thing so i just opened up face

book and start facebooking while waiting for my friend to give me the codes... hahaha... yeah i am that bad... another thing that i hate about lab is that i always lose something after that... last time it was my thumbdrive (but lucky my friend took it for me) and then my phone headset... damn...

Still got a lot of work ahead of me... there's marketing project to be done by wednesday, and also object oriented programming (make a 3d game) and this one is a pain...

Although there are a lot of work to do, i do not neglect my weekly dose of tv shows... Gossip Girl is back.. finally so is Lost, Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy... but i am most excited with American Idol... last time i told you that i am keeping an eye on Matt Giraud... well he really delivers an awesome performance during country week singing Carrie Underwood (my fav!) - so small... it was incredible and i love it... Kris Allen is also good and i love to see that the so-called front-runner actually messed things up this week... Matt and Kris surely got a chance to win this competition..

Matt Giraud on Idol... he is the one to watch!

Speaking of Idol, the original American Idol, Kelly Clarkson just released her new album All I Ever Wanted... it is a great album.. love every single song in it and i really recommend everyone to buy it... if you were a fan during her Since U been Gone and Because of You era, this time it is so much better...

love love love My life Would Suck Without You, Already Gone, Long Shot, I Do Not Hook Up and many more... KC is the best!

so.. gonna go and start doing my marketing... that's it for now... ^^

A Little Taste of Heaven

This is the first post! yay!! haha.. anyway.. this one is during my break after hours of studying Analog Electronics, honestly this one's suck big time... not gonna be an electrical engineer ever!

It has been a busy week though now is only wednesday... seriously a lot of stuff to do and i can foresee that the rest of the weeks leading up to exam will just be as busy if not more...

I guess it's true that university life is stressful... well at least here in NTU... i have never been a big fan of studying and i believe that your life is not entirely based on your grade... i would be lying if i don't want good grades.. seriously i really really want to get 1st Class honors... but sometimes i think to myself that the stuff that i've learnt and are learning right now may not and/or will not be relevant to what i want to be in the future... am i in the wrong course? i have no idea but i do enjoy some of the modules. They said  "just focus on your studies and forget anything else for this four years, get a 1st class honors... after that you can enjoy yourself..." well they have been saying that since like forever... primary, secondary and JCs... is life really just about getting good grades?

For all of the ramblings... i am stuck in that world... and for what is worth, i may just have to suck it up and go on with it... it is not always stars and rainbows and roses but at least i can add some sparkles and stickers to make it meaningful.

So... been watching american idol season 8... not sure who to root for at the moment, no one really captivate my attention like David Cook did last season... but i am watching closely for Matt Giraud, Lil Rounds and Chris Allen... though it is obvious that the judges may want a Danny vs Adam finals... but one thing for sure, the guys are so much better than the girls...
