Lots of thoughts at this point of time. kinda swamped man.

well, this is my future, laid before me, waiting for me to take it in.
Its more or less set for me.
and yet, i'm still unsure, uncertain, not ready to make that step or start out yet.
but what is there to do ? its obviously much better than some boring office job.
maybe i'm just over-worrying ?
yeah, hopefully...

I feel really left out at work too.
every friday, go out drinking, having fun.
while i'm going for my cellgroup meeting.
i'm not complaining, i place my priorities correctly, but its not about missing the fun.
i miss out, i feel out of place when the next week i have no idea what went on, people are less familiar with me than they are others. its almost like i'm the class loser or something.
what do i do, what do i say, i'm stuck.
but hey, i guess its 'welcome to the real world' for me.

on top of that, i'm also newly a connect group leader and that comes with responsibilities.
i'm not gonna back down, but nobody likes stepping out of their comfort zone do they ?
oh man. i feel like beating the crap out of something to release stress. where's Amiel when u need him ? HAHA
ah well,
life sucks, use a straw. right ?
just DEAL WITH IT !

the world i love
the tears i've dropped
to be part of the wave
can't stop.

Ah, basketball.
today, i got
1. Rammed in the neck by yewjin at high speed.
2. Hit on the head by the basketball
3. Rammed by yewjin again.
4. Hit on the spine by the basketball
5. Hit in the balls by the basketball
6. Got hit again, somehow, don't remember.

yes. got smashed. ouch. but it was fun, hahaha
yes ! work tmr.
ah, didn't get to go for a shoot man. bluh.

Heya, went for my NP interview,
turns out it was for Film Sound & Video, haha good for me. the idiotic internet info dosen't tell u which course ur interview is for. haha
well, I'd say it went very well and that i have quite a very good chance of getting in.
lemme share the long story...
the guy that interviewed me basicaly had these remarks,
he was impressed and thinks i have passion, but i need more ambition. haha slightly confusing.
well but from what i heard he was very silent in other invterviews, but i think i kept him interested and talking, yay, good point. haha
Also, i thank god for favour man, i heard stories of this woman interviewer who asks out of the point questions and dosen't even take a look at ur portfolio. wow. and i was the last person for the guy interviewer before the switch to the female one. PHEW.
then there's the group interviews, where they observe u do team projects. they made us come up with a reality show, which needs to include local celebs, ppl below 16 and couples. haha we came up with a teenage dating show with celeb hosts. cool eh ? i think i did really well for that too, cuz well, team leader figure baby ^^
they came to me asking "what do i do ?" haha so cool man, high chances, high hopes... haha

well. overall thoughts ?
YES ! VICTORIOUS !
wooo.

Just a little somethinga got in an email, wanna share it, its quite good.

Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.

Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.

When you say, 'I love you,' mean it.

When you say, 'I'm sorry,' look the person in the eye.

Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
Believe in love at first sight.

Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much.

Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.

In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.

Don't judge people by their relatives.

Talk slowly but think quickly.

When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, 'Why do you want to know?'

Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

Say 'bless you' when you hear someone sneeze.

When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and Responsibility for all your actions.

Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.

Spend some time alone.
