A song which keeps me thinking


Juz click on the link above and listen to the song. Really nice song which will keep ppl thinking about stuff. Here's the lyrics to the song.


Live Like You Were Dying (Tim McGraw)

He said I was in my early forties
with a lot of life before me
when a moment came that stopped me on a dime
and I spent most of the next days
looking at the x-rays
Talking bout the options
and talking bout sweet time
I asked him when it sank in
that this might really be the real end
how?s it hit you when you get that kinda news
man what?d you do

and he said
I went sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named fumanchu
and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I gave forgiveness I?d been denying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.

He said I was finally the husband
that most the time I wasn?t
and I became a friend a friend would like to have
and all the sudden going fishin
wasn?t such an imposition
and I went three times that year I lost my dad
well I finally read the good book
and I took a good long hard look
at what I?d do if I could do it all again

and then
I went sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named fumanchu
and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I gave forgiveness I?d been denying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.

Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about
what?d you do with it what did you do with it
what did I do with it
what would I do with it?

Sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named fumanchu
and then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I watched an eagle as it was flying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying

First week of sch...
Craps... I don't understand anything! My network essential lecturer just follow the slides on the powerpoint. He treats as if everyone knows what he is talking about... Actually no one understands him...

My math teacher? He is caring but teaches the wrong thing. Even the first week and something like that happen... What do you want me to do man? For the second lecturer he was like... 'Miss Chin, is everything ok?' Sucks larx... I was already doing tutorial and not listening to his lecture already larx... Teach till so slow still teach wrong! HAIX...

My computer hardware teacher is a Mexican. Well, his slang is nice but I guess the Chinese have problem with his slang...

Fundamental Electronics is one of the best. The practical was fun. Playing with the breadboard and wires... Understand perfectly what the teacher was saying during lecture. Just have to do tutorials.

Gems... Basic IT law. That was one of the more relax module. Just sit there, listen to the lecturer talk and that's all.

CRS. The teacher so chio and rather young. Nice slang for a Singaporean. At first I thought CRS wasn't important. After introducing the subject, I found the importance of critical reasoning skills. During university admissions, you will have to take a critical reasoning skill test! Teaching wise, the lesson was really interesting.

Ya. That's all for my modules. Have to mug... Fundamental electronics I will confirm get A. Math also. My aim is to get distinction for these 2. GEMS and CRS should be able to get A in any case. For the com hardware and network essential, I have to chiong larx...

I must learn to be independent since I know I can't rely on anyone anymore. That's what poly life is all about right?

Harvard?

Believe it or not, one can actually get into harverd uni after he/she got his/her A levels. I researched on that and found this guy in Singapore who have done this. This is his history.

He was in RI and RJC. Scored 11 distinctions for the GCE O-Level examinations and 8 distinctions for the GCE A-Level examinations, including 3 S-paper distinctions. (I don't understand how he did that...) Other than his good academic performance, he was also the Head Prefect in RI and Vice-President of RJC´s Interact Club. He also attained the Grade 8 for the ABRSM Violin examination. Then, he was awarded Singapore Police Force Overseas Scholarship to study Government at Harvard University in the United States. OMG right?

Of course I won't be able to get the SPFO now that I am a poly student. But I still can get LMS. I maybe the second SP student to get this award after 10 years! Who knows? Haha... I want to join a CCA and get gold in my NYAA first. Which CCA huh??? Sian larx... Go join band? No way... Hmm... DIE!!! I need a CCA now!!!

I have to drop the thought of going Harvard for the time being. I want to get my degree in psychology/social science first. Then be a police. I want my LMS!!!

SUAI AHH!!!!

Yesterday is a rather suai day for me... What happened? Well, just roll down the stairs. That's all... LOL... I think no one saw it larx... That's a good thing.

For SP student who have been to the main library should know that there's this 2 stairs which are not sheltered. I fell over there larx... Fell with my leg first, then back then support with my hand. Lucky I was wearing jeans and my hand wasn't injured... After the fall, I met my DMR friend... So went to the library and study there lorx. Treat it as another normal day. But after my last lesson, when walking home, I found that the injury can't be neglected. After I got home, change, then look at my leg... Blue-black of coz... But also baluku sia... So went down to find mum... Bought Zam-Buk and went home to apply.

Today I got soup to drink! Long time never drink home cook soup. Just miss them. Then mum got put the long old ginseng inside the soup sia... I just love my mum! =)

爱?

突然发现到爱这个字有多复杂。不惯是爱情,友情还是亲情,都和爱有关。从小就在一个每好的家庭里长大,根本不知道自己有多幸福。爸爸妈妈很恩爱,也很疼我。亲情对我来说是最好的爱。不官有多累,一回到家就能放松的感觉真好。

友情?当然是好呀!虽然有为友情伤心的哭过,我还是相信友情的存在是美好的。爱情?我应该不知道它吧。我相信我还不够成熟对待它。现在只想好好的读书,不想谈爱情。要的话就等我毕业后在说吧!三年内,我应该还会是个单身。

不要说你很惊讶看到我用华语。我只是觉得用华语来表达我现在的想法比较容易。=)

Oh well... Went to my student mail just now and notice that I was not exempted from the CRS module because of the module code! Not because I got D... Here is the mail I got from my lecturer.

Please start attending classes on Monday. Your timetable can be found on SAS. We are still checking with the Language department whether LC0318 isthe same as LC0618. If both are the same, we will deregister the LC0318 module for you. Meanwhile, please continue to attend this class.

What I replied him? haha... Lets take a look.

Ok. Thank you very much. Just saw your e-mail now. But I did went for the LC0318 module. But is it possible that I don't deregister from this module because I think I did very badly for my LC0618. So I hope to retake it even if it is possible for me to be deregistered. Sorry for the trouble and thanks once again.

Sian larx... I want all A. I don't want a stupid D... Haix...

The new environment...

Hmm... Excited? Nah... Din't even feel a thing this morning. Just prayed everything will go fine today.

BUT!!! I was late for my first class. I leave home at 8.15am you know? Yet I am still late for school! I took 99 at 8.20am and reached the stop before clementi MRT station at 8.55am. Why? Coz it was raining in the morning and people use the AYE... Traffic jam lorx... Plus I was standing on the bus with my laptop in my bag. SO HEAVY!!! OK... So I was late for the first class by 15mins or so. I think I was the only one who was late.

The first lesson was fundamental electronic. It was pure intro to the module and telling us not to take part time job... Lame right? Haha... Went to the COPE shop near library to buy green tea. Then go for my 2nd lesson, which is networking essential, is totally different from the first lesson lorx... The lecturer straight away get into his first lesson. Then I don't understand all the terms he was saying. LAN, MAN, WAN, switch, blah blah blah... What was he talking about? I dunno but I will know it by the end of today. Gonna read what he was saying again.

Then it was break. Went to popular buy my first textbook in SP. Then go library read book. Din't eat lunch and breakfast. Cool right? Just don't feel like eating larx... Then, the third lesson. CRS??? YAYA... I have to take this modules AGAIN. Sounds so sian right? But when I see the teacher I just can't believe my eyes. Why this lecturer so young and chio? Haha... The DMR one so... umm... Lets not say anything... Anyway, her slang is so nice larx... She can speak chinese pretty well I think... Coz she can say our chinese names without a problem! And she is going to Shanghai for 2 weeks. So, I will be off at 12 on Mon for the next 2 weeks! WEE!!! Then as usual the CRS module got this test for the reading program thingy. After finishing the test, my stomach was growl like hell... -_-" Exempted for IDEAS so, no IDEAS for me anymore! WEE!!! So, I went home. Now makaning. Very hungry...

Anyway, I am the only Singaporean in the class. There is another Vietnamese in the class. The others? They are all Chinese! Only 17 people in class DICT/1A/25! I didn't get to know anyone yet. But I did talk to some of them. I am still not that anti social larx.. So much for today! I eat then need study liaox. Then 9pm have to watch the metamorphosis. OK! Till then! =)

My course
OH MY GOD!!! My course will be so stressful larx... Went to SAS and saw something ridiculous. I have 3 subjects weighing credit units of 5!!! They are network essentials, fundamental electronics and computer hardware & system operation. Then I have math which weighs credit unit of 4. Then the ever so boring CRS module which I can retake again coz I got D. Then GEMS which I took basic IT law. Luckily these two only weigh a credit unit of 2. So this semester I have a total credit unit of 23! Which means I got to study like hell!!! At least for the first 4 subjects. Anyone has the same module as me? I really gonna have intensive study now. My target is to get a GPA of 4. Can I make it?

A DICT student now!
Went to SP today once again to collect my change of course confirmation letter. Officially a DICT student. After collecting the letter, I went over to food court 2 to eat Mac. Might be the last time eating Mac here you know? Haha... Every time I will buy orange juice from Mac and go for lectures in the morning. It is a rather bad habit I think... Ya... Have to change that. OK. A DICT student signing off!

A dream come true
Today is a very happy day for me! I would like to apologise my dead-ness for the pass few weeks. Coz lots question had been on my mind and don't really want to think about other stuff. The change of course thingy was making me emo and stuff. Now, I am back to normal! Wahaha...

At first, I planned to go out today with hui ying and xin yi. So sorry can't go coz of menstrual cramps and some other reasons. Anyway, in the afternoon at around 12+, a lecturer called and tell asked me if I am the one who wanted to change the course and stuff... Then told me to look for him at his office. He said it is blk 12, level 5, t12a502.

So when I got to SP, I went to t12, which was juz next to dover mrt station, Then take the lift to level 5. I walked one big round and cant find it. So I went down, went to t12a and take the lift to level 5. Then walked one big round to his office.

Talked to him about the change of course and stuff. He actually have to make sure that I am choosing the right course. As in don't study for another half a year then change again. Got to know the course much better after talking to him. It made me more keen to learn the modules larx... Haha... Anyway, after talking to him I walk one big round, took the lift down and went to the admin office to ask about the change of course thing and when I can actually get the letter of approval. I can start my new course next week! Wahaha... Then after that I went to t12a again and walk one big round to his office then told him what I found out. After that, I went out of his office and found out something very funny. I opened the door in front of the office and found out that I am at t12. I seriously walked one big circle... This is what I call noob. =)

My aim now is to get a GPA of at least 3.8 next sem. GET A AND DISTINCTION IS MY NEW AIM. But my CRS get D!!! Gonna pull my GPA down larx... =( Thx for everyone who were so caring when I was so... umm... emo? Ya... I think that is the word. THANK YOU! =) *MUACKS*

Went to SP today to hand in my letter of appeal for change of course. Then there is this auntie before me in the queue asking the lady at the admin office if there's anyway to check her child's exam results. The autie said she saw here daughter's results but not sure if the results are really hers. The autie caught her daughter afew times for not going to school and going to k-box. The worst thing was, it is her last year in the course. The change of attitude happened after the death of her father...

Moral of the story:
No 1: Never take someone's trust for granted.
No 2: The death of someone dear may affect one's life.

12th sep

My results... I dunno if I should be happy or sad about it. If I can get into my appealed course, I will be happy larx... Can be exempted from IDEA and CD. If my appeal isn't successful, I will be sad. As simple as that. Gonna pray like hell larx... Haix... I don't want to waste anymore time...

11th sep

Went to the chalet. Din't really do much. Just spent time with the people there. Enjoyed myself that day. =)

Craps...
Went to the toilet 3 times in 30mins... Had a bad stomachache at around 3am in the morning but I didn't want to wake my parents up coz they have work later on. Endured the pain and ate medicine of some sort which made me really better. I guess I slept at around 4+ after rolling in the bed for 30mins or so...

Woke up at 1pm. OMG... I was such a pig... Anyway, was learning card tricks and shuffling with one hands and stuff. Addicted to it again... I wanna buy a proper deck of cards. The cards I am having now is Aladdin card. Which is far too smooth. Thinking if i should buy a tiger deck which is black. So cool if you can do magic with that! Oh well... Tml going over to chalet. Meeting Jia Lu at IMM giant tml at 10! Please let me wake up on time... Zzz...

Thurs till now...
Went to the cinema on thursday to watch Evan Almighty. Well, for christians, read ur bible before going to the movie. Genesis 6:14 states that God instructs Noah to build an ark. God instructs Evan to build an ark too. For non christians, this show is more or less another 'Mr.Bean show'. Laugh for the 1h 30mins or so. But it is rather meaningful.
Friday, which was yesterday, I made moon cake with my mum! Really fun coz we never made moon cakes in our lives before... Lol... The moon cakes are cute but too sweet. =P And we only made 13 pieces.... -_-" Mum said we are gonna make it again. Yipee!
Saw the show silence on channel 56 and suddenly thought of watching the whole series again on crunchyroll... Cried like a baby when watching it. Finished watching at 3+ this morning. Then after that I prayed before going to sleep. But I find it very strange... Every few seconds, there will be lightning. No thunder. Juz lightning. Hmm... I had a sudden thought then... The end of the world... I ask myself what I will do if it is the end of the world today. Will I have any regrets? Had my longest pray in my life today. LOL... Heard it rained heavily. But I was sleeping too soundly. Dad helped me to close the window. Woke up at around 1pm today... LOL... Wednesday... It is getting nearer and nearer. But I am not prepared yet... The stupid letter... Must write finish by today no matter what.

Book review???
Just read a book and noticed one very nice paragraph.

'A lot of stress in life results from our wearing mask, being unreal with others, living double lives, or trying to be someone we're not. Insecurity always produces pressure in our lives, and when we're insecure we feel pressured to perform and conform. We set unrealistic standards for our lives, and even though we work, work, work, we can't meet those unrealistic standards. Tension and pressure naturally occur as a result.'

That is so true! We created stress for ourselves. Not due to the people around us. Ok.. I guess as a future psychologist, I must get to know this first larx... LOL... So much for the book review... Tml go play badminton with hui ying, tuesday go play pool with lin, vian and pearl. I am so sporty rite? =)

My stupid change of course letter... I guess it is gonna be finished soon. Still leaving the course I wanna change blank. Coz I have no idea which is better... DIT or DICT? But I know I just wanna get to NUS after getting a diploma. By far I guess one of this two courses are fine coz i won't have to carry any more heavy stuff! =P
