__ Thursday, September 27, 2007 ;

Went to Central Singapore CDC at Toa Payoh HDB Hub early in the morning today. Heavy rain somemore! The talk was supposed to end at 12noon but the person dragged till 12.40pm. By the time the whole thing ended, my stomach was growling like mad already. But on the overall, it was quite interesting too. The person gave us so much information about their organisation and the cases which they encounter. It was really inspiring hearing them talk about success stories of people who have benefited from the assistance rendered to them.

I've been toying with the idea of going for an exchange maybe a year later or so. I don't know, maybe after hearing stories from my senior, I'm sort of attracted to this idea now. The University of Hong Kong sounds like a great place to go and I really am tempted. I've never been an adventurous person and somehow, I feel like it's time I should step out of my comfort zone and learn new things. I don't know... I'll just see how things go.

I got to know a particular someone in school the other day. Was talking to her and I really learnt a lot of things from her. Money is like a volcano. It is useful, like how the soil near volcanoes are so fertile and rich in minerals. However, money may also spell disaster, like how fatal things can be when volcanoes erupt. Why do people put so much emphasis on material needs when the thing which is most important is our emotional need? In the process of chasing after branded goods, we lose sight of the things and people around us. Though according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, our main need is food and bodily comfort but we cannot ignore the fact that love and attachment to others is also part of our needs. Sigh! It's so shameful to know that so many people around the world are living in poverty and yet we are complaining of not being able to lead a luxurious life. Sad to say, I am also guilty of putting too much emphasis on branded things. I really should change man...

Hey you, thanks for making me realise how life really is and how blessed I am. I really enjoy talking to you. :)

Time flies. It's Thursday already and I'm not done with my Psyche paper and revision. Oh man... Have to burn midnight oil for the next few days again. I need more coffee! I really love Mcdonald's cappucino. It's really good! Heh...

Think I'm becoming more and more naggy nowadays. Haiyoh... Can't help it, old already. Hahaha...

made another new promise ][-
