Wake Up Call

I have finally decided to write down my feelings for the past few months.

Indeed, JC life is completely different from the past two years. It is more tiring, more exciting and actually I feel more contented than ever. I can finally get away from those subjects that I didn’t like and had no passion with. Although I’d say, some subjects were insightful, such as MI. Just forget about the teacher, this course itself has some real substance that worth to think about. I liked the way when we did Logic, and the way to debate on a moral dilemma. It was inspiring and I really felt that I had improved my thinking processes through this course.

Now in junior college, I don’t have to take MI anymore. I am purely a science student. I used to confuse, and actually I still do, that what do I really like and feel passionate about. I am shortsighted. I am. I cannot see my future. But I am aware enough that I have to do well in jc life. Go US, go UK is not just a dream. I really got inspired by my senior batch which graduated last year. They really have done a fantastic job. And I did see the hard work, the sweat and now the fruit. I used to think that even if I pour myself into hard work, I could not get something in return. Those big examples from the social elites are just too faraway. Now that I see people around me are getting what they want through diligence, and I should slack no more, that I really need to fight for something. Currently I have set myself a goal. I told someone that it would be worth fighting for. So now I’m gonna put up a good fight.

Watch out.

I am arrogant. China’s education system cultivated me. I had never failed before. That’s why I lost my sight more than once after I came to Singapore. My roommate is a nice girl. She said something when I cried after hanging the phone up on my parents. “At least you have faith in yourself.” I shall never forget this.

Through the past two years and until now, I found I had never known myself better than this moment. I know I can do it. It’s not too late to begin. And it will end perfectly.

Something about Libra

I found this quite interesting and accurate^^ from msn website

Balance is the keyword for this sign, and when it comes to keeping everything on an even keel, a Libra will lead the pack. Peace loving and judicial, this sign abhors being alone. Partnerships are very important for the Libra, especially those on a personal level. With their winning personalities and cooperative style, they aren't apt to be alone for long!

Friends and Family

Fun loving and willing to help out, the Libra makes an excellent friend. Even though they can be late and indecisive, once they're on the scene, they're ready to go. This flexible sign loves to spend time with friends and family and doesn't hesitate to initiate gatherings. Sociable and suave, Librans naturally draw people to them. They have a way of creating a compelling aura of harmony around them. When it comes to challenges, this balancing sign can see both perspectives in a disagreement, making them excellent problem-solvers. Companionable, they're apt to keep their friends and family busy.

Career and Money

Harmony is the keyword for this sign. For the Libra, maintaining this is of the utmost importance. They can be excellent leaders and will work hard to earn and deserve the privilege. Truth and justice always prevail for Librans as they go about their days. Working with others or in a partnership is ideal for this social sign. Artistic and persuasive, these folks are gifted talkers who do well in any position that provides a platform for them to chat.

Careers that involve justice such as police officer, lawyer, or judge are excellent choices for Libra. They will also succeed at such occupations as diplomat, civil servant, interior decorator, composer, and fashion designer. Group settings pose no challenge for Librans - in fact, the more the merrier. Their strong sense of diplomacy serves well in almost anything they do.

If you go shopping with a Libra, best to plan some extra time! This sign can be terribly indecisive when it comes to purchasing. Balancing their money, however, is a snap for Libra. Keeping a good balance between savings and spending money is a real talent for these folks. Their love of fashion and housewares can see them out and about in stores quite often. One of Libra's favorite pastimes is to shop for someone special.

Love and Sex

Finding the right partner will be a priority in the Libra's life. For those already in a relationship, maintaining the peace and harmony takes center stage. A Libra alone is a sad thing indeed, not to mention unnatural. They need to connect with others. As lovers they are expressive, creative, and balanced. They love to make their partners feel completely and thoroughly satisfied from conversation to lovemaking. Librans' charm and dedication to striking the perfect balance with others makes them wonderful partners.

A lonely Mid-autumn..

Mom and Dad...I miss you...
Hostel was not so mean after all, at least gave us a mooncake and it tasted good.

I could not constrain myself not thinking back of the Mid-Autumn Fest' of the year before last year which was 2006..the day we came to Singapore, the first time ever. What an irony that this day was supposed to be the day of family reunion, but we were separated from our parents. But we could not complain. We chose our own ways. There is no way to go back. So now, staying on the land of Singapore, head up gazing the beautiful moon, under the mild moonlight, to gain myself a portion of peace. Chinese poet says, gazing the bright moon and thinking of home(举头望明月,低头思故乡). I learned this line when I was young, and not till today, I finally feel what the poet felt. Sadness and loneliness overwhelmed me.


Nevertheless, a happy mid-autumn to all. Happy two year anniversary to all IP2 china scholars..
