Sick and tired. How apt.
♥Tuesday, February 23, 2010.
Anyway, to clarify, in case anyone thinks I'm bullshitting - who gets tired from staying at home the entire day? - I don't mean tired in that sense. In the, damn I really need to get some sleep, sense. But in the, why on earth does this kind of things keep happening, sense.
First things first, I'm giving a speech on Thursday and my script's not out yet. Freak me.
And I really hate falling sick at this point of time. I mean, falling sick after CNY is just..cliched. Yes, I'm convinced it has reached that stage where everyone falls sick after CNY. And no, I haven't been eating goodies. All right, maybe just a little.
But really, my post isn't about that, I just had to have an intro to lead me in. Like, an intro with on link. Oops.
I think everyone's planning for their future now. Not just my year, but like J1s too. I think its a JC thing. Which I'm totally fine with, if you though I was going to diss that. Cause everyone tells us we have to start planning for the future now, which I agree with. But what the heck, we're just 17, 18 year-olds. They're scaring us by saying that its gonna decide our lives. Sure, majority, but I don't think that's the only way to how we're gonna live - like, choose one, and you're stuck with it.
But anyway. That still wasn't the point I was trying to say. And actually, I've forgotten what I wanted to say in the first place, so just let me ramble, since its my blog.
People seem to be fighting so hard to build up their portfolio. Er, the academic and whatnot achievements kind. But turning into a portfolio-whore is just..gross. I'm not saying anyone I know is. And I hope no one thinks I'm that. Like, seriously. I know I've got to look at it objectively, since these people are just working for better chances in the future. AND, all of us are supposed to be doing that. But not everyone has the, how shall I put it, calibre. Its like, how not everyone can get into Harvard or Oxford or some well-known university that yours truly here does not bother finding out (yes, that's how uninformed I am). And how not everyone can be in er.. Hwa Chong? I guess that's valid too.
And how not everyone can be..ah, a leader. And nope, I'm not trying to praise myself because I'm in HC and I'm, in technical terms, a leader. Like I said, technically, because essentially, I don't view myself as being a good leader. And when I think someone is a leader, it has a positive connotation, so I don't believe in a thing called a bad leader - if anyone's not good enough, that person shouldn't be called a leader. I'm being very critical in that sense, but I TRY (please note the word try) to see the good in everyone. Or at least a little bit of that goodness.
Honestly, I think the medicine is making me delirious. Half the time of this post, make that three quarter, I don't even know what I'm talking.
I shall just have random bursts of information about myself. Haha.
I think I'm a .. easily swayed person. If you make some sense to me I'll believe you. Maybe I'm just lazy to think of my own views. I think of myself as someone without a mind of her own. I salute people who do, and accept others who don't agree with them. I find it interesting how people have their own definition of everything. Its like, they've classified almost everything and match them to how they feel. I don't think anyone understood that. But yes. I think people are interesting, no matter how boring they may be.
And in any case, let me just whine for a while and express my self-hate. Haha. I think of myself as a follower. I don't care what other people think about this, but I am not a good leader (which I am contradicting myself, cause I just said that there's no such phrase in my dictionary as bad leader.) But its just cause, like I also said, technically, I am a leader, of my team, of my class, of my faculty. And that's why I previously said I hope no one takes me for a portfolio-whore. That's beside the point though. The point is I'm not doing what I should be doing well.
I'm a selfish person. I put my best in things I want to do. I think Wai Yee has told me this before, which I agree, that I will do things that I like, for things I don't, I still will, but I will screw it up and blame myself for it after that. I think its a vicious cycle.
I'm in a very delirious state right now. I have no idea why, but yes. Its 1am right now. The entire world population (okay no, just a few friends) told me to sleep early today. I'm sorry, but that's not exactly possible. Haha. I know it totally is, but I just refuse to let myself sleep so early. Lol. I'm just doing nothing right now. Actually I am. I'm thinking of a damn postbox design. Haha. For STAMP02. The competition sounds quite fun actually. But I'm in a bad state to think of ideas now. Like how I shouldn't be blogging right now.
To continue on the previous topic, after the short diversion. Mm. I'm not afraid to say, I crave recognition. Haha, that's dumb, who doesn't? But that happens to be the source of my motivation. Very pragmatic, huh.
Come to think of it. Maybe I'm a little more pragmatic than I like to think of myself as.
Its 4am. Haha. What on earth am I doing here. In 1 hour and 15 minutes later, I've got to wake up and go to school. Roar.
Damn me.
