whisk me off to melbourne!

whee, i know i've been telling peeps not t read my blog cos its not entirely about my life - its just an avenue for me to run to when distress sets in. Which means, when i don't blog, I'm happy =D so be happy, too!

I've picked up a book lately - Success built to last by Jerry Porras, Stewart Emery and Mark Thompson.
Its a really good book that i'd recommend. The idea of success is driven by the passionate motivation of oneself, due to the love for whatever he/she is good at, which is sufficient to endure through whatever difficulties faced, almost WITH JOY! I'd love that man. They call it the Mandela Effect - abstrated from the story of Nelson Mandela and his efforts to eliminate Aparthied.

People make mistakes. Very often, we are deluded by the society's emphasis on materialistic living. Thus, we throw ourselves blindly at what they claim is 'gold'. But have you ever paused for a minute and wondered about the treasure within yourself? This was what hit me so hard one night as insomnia consumed my resting hours till the break of dawn. I was deluded, i made a mistake. Kill me? Of course not.

I guess i'm still confused about where my passion lays, and am taking time off to realise that. Guess i refuse to compell to 'fact' that I have to stay and finish my course. There's a price to pay, of course - that is that i wont be able to return. In short, I refuse to adopt singaporean mindsets about education. This is about what i want in life, not what i have to.

But, not so. I'm starting ID work and the first project will come in about March, which gives me sufficient time to read up on ID and do my research. Other than that, I'll continue reading while i recieve more things/opportunities and directions that come my way. I hope i'll make it in time over to Melbourne to stay with SWANGGG while i complete foundation! It'll be so awesome. Then i'll only be back sometime end of this year. =) then back again to do a double degree, hopefully. that will take me another 5 years.

Its like a refreshing gust of North-East wind that brushes gently across your face that could probably wake you up from the drudgery of the monotonus humdrum of life. This is my time. to make things right. as much as i want to, I'm not going to rush into anything and enjoy little things in life that we often take for granted. This is what i call life,in my perspective. Doing what i enjoy. is what i call, success. Cos it begins with the heart, where neither words nor money could ever replace,for it never ceases.

i could go on typing forever man. =\
I will not go on deluding myself that i like something that i dont. it doesnt make any sense =)

P.S-i'm only done with the first chapter. So down to the second now =)
