Lessons Learnt

Decided to edit the post a little to better reflect the day. Was pretty tired and all so didnt manage to get everything in haha..

Today was a day full of lessons to be learnt for me. I realized quite a few things today and it really humbled me quite a lot. It wasn't just a single event, but rather a few significant things that happened that made me realize that there are so many things that we can learn each day.

It was in bible class that what Bro Peter Chin was teaching today that I realized something. I guess it was something that I already knew, yet just needed someone to say it out. Its times like this that you wonder, "I knew that, yet why does it only hit me now?". Indeed, our psych is able to block out things that we do not want to face, yet gets hit by it only when someone spells it out for us. And I also realized that while we judge people, there is also probably a good chance that that same judgment applies to us. Indeed we are not perfect, so I think we should all examine ourselves before we pass judgment.

Anyways it was the usual Friday study (more like play) day for me Chui and Loke. Managed to get some work done while Chui died from work phobia. Anyways Chui managed to get a trip down to SMU resident cafe Frujch and concluded that "SMU is a more stressful place than NUS". Well said. Indeed its much much worse.

We ended up having dinner later with Loke and searched for something to do cos we had no more mood to work. So we ended up going to the arcade before a movie. Then we played DDR. Haha.. it was dumb.. newbies dancing DDR really hilarious! I think we made a fool of ourselves ^^.

So we watched "Charlie Bartlett" Yup I managed to remember. It was a story that centered around problem youths. Really packed a lot of meaning under its seemingly "rubbish show" facade. Me, Chui and Loke were pretty happy with it. Where do we fit in in life? What are we doing with it? And are we making the best out of it? I really wonder.

But I think we should all think hard on our lives and reflect on it hard.. there are always things to change.

So many things to do as the semester draws to a close. My current assessment: I think I still have unused capacity. Yet I am unwilling to sacrifice my friends and my life for grades (not to mention my tan). Will that kill my grades? I hope not. And as I continue to fight with ever present stuff that keeps coming, I will spare time for the simpler things in life.
