Insidious trap

I hope this isn’t going to kill me again…




I’ve busy to the point I have really no time to reflect, to think or ruminate about the consequences or probable outcome of my actions. On one hand I guess it keeps me in a sane, unemotional, and apathetic state. But I’m still wondering whether I can give so much of myself without ending up disappointed and hurt. It’s like when you’re around people don’t notice you and know how much effort one puts into stuff one does.


I slept at insane hours the past few days. Rushing out URECA, Psych Soc stuff, Hall Stuff, and some of my own personal projects. Not to mention my very poor attempt at keeping up with my notes and readings. I seem to have lost the drive I had in Year 1 in producing high quality notes. I feel overwhelmed sometimes. And sometimes there’s this terrible thought that comes to my head:


“nobody cares about what you do”




I keep giving excuses, external attributions about people’s behaviour. It's natural that one wants to keep a positive sense of self, that one isn’t at fault, and it’s other people’s fault. But I guess there comes a point that you realise its not a good idea to live in a delusional bubble of lies.


So weird to be surrounded by people all the time, talking, laughing joking, yet feel so alone…




it’s strange how a few seconds, maybe minutes, can mean so much to one, yet nothing to the other…

Fall for anything

Random conversations in the Hall 3 Cultural Room:


“You know, I can never understand people could change boy/girlfriends like changing clothes.”


“Well maybe to those people they might not understand people like us either, I mean they might be just out there to have fun”




Some time around the start of last year I felt rather crushed, to the point I decided I felt like doing what every other person I knew seemed to be doing, just get anyone and not care, find a rebound… but I couldn’t, and will never bring myself to doing that. Because a choice like this has the capacity to change lives, to stumble others, or to build each other up. It can tear down a person’s spiritual life, as I seen many a times, or bring a person closer to Him… Guard your heart, because it is the wellspring of life (Proverbs 4: 23).


Not to mention I got a pretty bad scolding when I told my church ministry leader/mentor about those thoughts. Lol


2013 is a new hope, a new beginning. I want to be the person that God desires me to be, follow after Him wholeheartedly. I feel overwhelmed by a lot of stuff I have to do, but I guess… I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me(Phil 4:13) …




In other news:


“oh and you know *psych people* in my singing class - I asked them if they knew you, and they said oh, that genius from psych?”


Dunno whether to be flattered or irritated. I’m not that smart -.-. Compared to those jokers from my AC who got above 42 points and above (recently in the news), who are all enjoying themselves in overseas colleges like oxbridge and ivy league universities, or even those on scholarship now in NTU…

Plucking rose petals

Maybe my hunch is wrong. I hope it is anyway.


I have these strange tendencies to overanalyse behaviour, maybe thats why I took psychology. So I should remind myself to correct for bias.


I should also remember to be careful to guard my thoughts and feelings.




Anyway - the first really successful JB audition for IHCC for a long time (: we practiced hard and thankfully no major mistakes were made.


I wonder what the year ahead spells for me…
