It's over (somewhat)

Time for a little celebration I think.

Though I have two more papers on Monday, I think they're a little bit off my mind for now. The past few days have gone well, but with a few stupid mistakes being realised a couple of hours after each paper, I must say that I'm a little disappointed with what I've achieved.

Anyway, after prelims will be the mad chionging of application for universities. Why bother applying, I should just try for NUS first shouldn't I? Then worry about the rest during NS if I don't get in.

I'm worried though. So much to do for the apps, yet so little time. Meh.

BUT today was great. Spent time out and it was an awesome day. It really means something to me to be able to steal that couple of hours out of my busy weeks to spend with people I love.

Wish all days were like today.

Chew on this

While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked up stone and scratched lines on the side of the car. In anger, the man took the child's hand and hit it many times; not realizing he was using a wrench. At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures.

When the child saw his father with painful eyes he asked, Dad when will my fingers grow back?

The man was so hurt and speechless; he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times. Devastated by his own actions sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches; the child had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'. The next day that man committed suicide.

Anger and Love have no limits; choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely life. Things are to be used and people are to be loved, but the problem in today's world is that, People are used and things are loved.

Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits they become character; Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

Importance

Today, I realised how important someone is to me. To make me feel such anger on her behalf, I don't think anyone else can ever do so again.

Today I learnt how to let go.

Repost - If

If

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

I guess this is a repost to remind me of what makes a person truly him or herself. Not just a figment of imagination, but a reality.

What defines us as human is our common traits. What defines our self is our uniqueness, our strengths, our weaknesses. Something that no one can give to us nor take away.
