What a breath-taking ride I had that drove me through this 1st splendid semester of my uni life! It may seem hectic, but the joy of overcoming all the hard-fought modules and being able to juggle school and social commitments concurrently, is indeed overwhelming. I couldn't expect any more of the workload to be piled on me in the coming semester, but sometimes, I feel like I am the culprit for imposing such stuffs on myself. No prize for doing this, but isnt it better for me to fill up my grey matter while I am still youthful?

Being in CBE is definitely challenging, considering that I am even able to enrol into this course. With funny lecturers, brain juice-sapping modules and wonderful course mates around, I am enjoying every bit of my uni life. One of my favourite modules is surprisingly, outside my core subjects. I have no prior knowledge of economics, but I could understand its relevant importance to our society. A favourite subject doesnt yield a definite A grade, as I have learnt from past experience.

For now, I have got a dozen tasks on my to-do list(13 to be exact) and I believe this vacation would undoubtedly, pass by with a wink. So much so for all the events planning and game particapation, I need to find serenity in personal indulgence. A focused mind is the key to success. Maybe i should migrate to hilltop and meditate? LOL

Recently, I flipped through an old book and found some retrievable insights and motivation from a quote by Vince Lombardi: "Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing." I allow this quote to run through my mind a few times and I could draw parallel to sports. The traditional football powerhouses are always awarded top seedings in tournaments and they continue to dominate top standings. That makes winning a habit.

But, occasionally, we cant prevent previously unrecognised teams from claiming top honours. This partly contradicts the quote. The transition from losing to winning is never a habit in a second time. Once you have won something, the winnng formula stays with you and is packed into your DNA, and whether u win again or not lies in your belief.

Sometimes, I feel that I should stop blaming on my circumstances. Being in a good circumstance gives you a comparative advantage over the rest. But often or not, a bad circumstance somehow turns us into a whinning bull. The people who get on in this world are those who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them.
