my math test got 19/30! sucks leh, and i kind of studied for this test, but made a couple of careless mistakes, and it's really easy to lose a lot of marks for no reason, not very good =/ MATH IS PULLING MY GPA DOWN DOWN DOWN...

nvm, all i'll have to do is to score full marks for EOYs (quote joel kek). MUST start mugging now already. in fact, i'll go mug right after i close this blogging window. yeah.

okay anyway, for those who know me right, once in a while you'll know that i come up with great theories about certain stuff, like where humans come from, and what do we live for, how is life like and so on and so forth.

So today, i'll post one of my most recent theories, regarding the rich and poor.

this was inspired by a smiley uncle cleaning up at jurong point food court. It set me wondering, is money essential for people to be happy? are the rich always happier than the poor? then after thinking for a while, I've reached this theory, that life is nothing more than just a journey, and happiness is nothing more than just a state of mind. When you begin life, you have nothing. As your life comes to an end, you're left with nothing. So in another words, it's just like going through a journey, without actually gaining any physical things, but rather, it's more about how the experience and how you've lived your life. In another words, living a rich or poor life really doesn't matter, because after all it is just two paths of a similar journey. If you can live a poor life happily and with fulfillment, why bother about the riches? The poor has troubles of the poor, and the rich having troubles of the rich as well. Many rich families experience family problems and issues, as well as emotional and psychological stress.

Let us use an analogy, two people who has never gone into a theme park before walks into a theme park, one takes a roller coaster, another one takes a bumper car because roller coaster too long queue. In the end, the bumper car guy do not know what a roller coaster feels like, but he knows that many people wants to go for the roller coaster ride. For both of them, their experience is different, they can either go home happy or sad, DEPENDING on their mindset. IF the bumper car guy insist on thinking that, SHIT i didnt get to sit the roller coaster, he'll forever be miserable for the rest of his life until he gets to sit in a roller coaster someday. However if he can change his mindset and find joy in sitting the bumper car, he would have had a fulfilling experience at the theme park and leave happily without regrets.

So in conclusion, forget about aiming to be the best and striving to be the best all the time. Just enjoy what you're doing and treasure your time doing it. Generally through my experience if you're happy doing something, chances are that you'll do better than the rest. Take a step back and indulge in your own journey, and do not envy what others have because you have no idea what kind of journey they're going through. Do not be confined by the requirements of the world of what success is, but search in your heart to live a life with no regrets =)


okay that's just my two cents worth of opinion, will post more regarding like a variety of things in the future.

Something interesting happened in school today. During math. Mr Kwa, the math teacher, walked in front of the class, and gave us his saggy, goldfish-like smile, and looked around, surveying the class. Out of nowhere, he said "you know, i heard students watches pornography in class during lesson time."

Then there was silence in the classroom. Everyone stoned for 1 second. *1 second passes* "HAHAHAHAHAHA" coming from Pranav, i joined in, thomas turned to me and said a certain individual's name whom i know of, then both of us started laughing too.

Mr Kwa looking stunned at our reaction, then he added " really you know, i heard from other teachers, they watch pornography on their handphones. but i think this class doesnt have lah"

even more laughters...

anyway, what kind of loser watches porn on handphones? in class somemore, the screen so tiny and no sound... okay nvm =)

okay that's about it, shall go study now, BYE.

PS: i did close to 200 push ups today, lost count...
