I have been playing around with this little thought experiment for quite sometime now.
How would it be like to fall in love physically with yourself?
It’s a good thing in many ways isn’t it?
You would care less about what others think about you, and you would be more able to bounce back fast when shit happens because [...]

7 Reasons on why the 21st Century is making you Miserable
Posted in Thoughts? on July 21, 2009 | No Comments »
(Courtesy of Cracked.com) Insightful read!
Scientists call it the Naked Photo Test, and it works like this: say a photo turns up of you nakedly doing something that would shame you and your family for generations. Bestiality, perhaps. Ask yourself how many people in your life you would trust with that photo. If you’re like the [...]
Does familiarity really breed contempt?

Interesting article I came across today: Why Familiarity Really Does Breed Contempt.
From personal experience, I do agree that it does. The greater the familiarity and hence understanding, the more you would be inclined to pick out a person’s idiosyncracies more readily and critically. The only way to combat this is to either have patience like [...]
Why I am not attached. (and other random rants)
Posted in Thoughts? on June 5, 2009 | No Comments »
Well the answer is… Maybe I’m not ready? Or I’m just cautious to delve into the unknown? I don’t know. Another factor would be that the right one probably hasn’t come along yet (and is taking his own sweet time!).
I have thought about it actually, in spite of what some think. From time to time [...]
The downside of Introspection.
Posted in Thoughts? on April 4, 2009 | No Comments »
When I was in year 1 (2 years ago), I was quite the brooding emo kid (sans the cutting). No, I didn’t have to wear predominantly black clothes and have rebonded hair that covers half my face. I just was. Or at least, I felt that the general attitude was there. During my emo, mood-swingy [...]

I feel like I’m an ikan bilis who wants to become a blue fin tuna.
In music, and in academic aspirations.
This sucks.
Anyway, happy chinese new year to anyone who’s reading.

These words from the song ‘Santa Monica’ by Everclear somehow strikes me. It is my most frequently played song at the moment, and as you know me, when I come across a song that I like, I can play it for days or even weeks on end. Yes, I can be that obsessive when I [...]
Cynical. So what?

-WARNING: LONG RANT AHEAD-
If in future, any one who claims himself to be oh-so-holy (what with Bible verses on MSN nick etc.) and Christian comes up and starts asking perverted or engaging in obviously un-Christlike behaviour towards me, I’ve made it a point not to be nice and diplomatic anymore.
No longer am I gonna say,
‘Excuse me, [...]
Reprieve
Posted in Life, Thoughts? on November 15, 2008 | No Comments »
Sometimes it’s just good to stop, reflect and ask yourself these questions:
Who am I? In my own eyes and in the eyes of others, are there too many vast discrepancies?
What do I want to do with my life?
In academic/career arena: Continue to desire pursuing my Masters in Clinical, in spite of mediocre academic performance, switch discipline [...]
