Chapter 265: Expectations Vs Reality?

Halo. 心血来潮 so I am here.

Remember when we are all young, and we would dream of becoming successful doctors or lawyers or whatnot? And as we grow up, we find out that it is not that easy after all? So we start changing and changing our ambition to suit our needs? Because we finally know that it is not just about dreaming... It is also about making a move and making a change.

It's the same for how we face people. When we are young, and you expect people to do things for you, that's perfectly normal. Everyone treats you good because you are young, and you can't handle disappointment. Even when you are down, your parents will cheer you up with ice-cream.

But as you grow up, things change. You suddenly realize that the world doesn't revolve around you. You suddenly realize you're not as important as you think you are. Most importantly, you find out that expectations...are always so much brighter than reality.

I guess it's all part of the parcel we receive when we start recognizing that the world isn't as beautiful as it seems after all. Yet I still can't help expecting. I can't help hoping for the best. My mind is telling me to fuck it and just go with the flow but my heart tells me "Hey, you're gonna get through this. I'll give you hope."

That's where the disappointment sinks in. My imagination is always so much prettier than when it's about to happen. Every time before an event I would replay in my mind the different happy things that could happen. And when it really does happen, it just isn't as fascinating anymore. I know, that's when we start to cope and make a change right? Wrong. There's always something in me that doesn't want to give up dreaming.

Because dreaming gives me hope.

But hope also leads to disappointments. And I don't like disappointments.

Sometimes you expect someone to do something for you because you would do the same for him/her too. It's not the other party's fault really. They didn't ask you to pour so much hope in them, did they? No. You were the one playing with your own imagination, hoping they would follow the script you wrote in your mind. And when they don't, you start to get angry with them, when it was your fault all along...

What I'm trying to say here is...keep on dreaming, because dreaming gives us hope, but don't let that spark of hope become so big that it devours your own soul. May the spark grant you to be stronger in life.

Chapter 290: Being a CAT-ACCA student

Hello. I just wanna get this off my chest for a bit. DISCLAIMER: This is merely my own understanding of the whole programme. Please don't flame me for wrong information lol. WHAT ARE CAT AND ACCA?  CAT stands for Certified Accounting Technician. Yeah, people laugh at the term "technician" but in layman terms it is just another name for Foundation in Accountancy. No idea why they used CAT though; probably because they don't want people to mess it up with Foundation in Arts? Anyways, one thing I dislike is when people ask me what I'm currently doing. When I say CAT, EVERYONE doesn't get it. So I just say "Oh I'm doing accounting." which sounds pretty weak but then it's easier than explaining the whole shit a gazillion times to different people and yet they STILL don't get it. :( ACCA stands for Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. Alright, so here's the thing. ACCA is a professional body (sort of like a club, really....

Chapter 266: Miracle In Cell No. 7 REVIEW

Hey hey. Recently I've been watching lots of movies (too free ma lol). So this particular korean movie - Miracle in Cell No. 7 was just amazing. I decided to write a review for it. An amateur one so don't expect too much because I've never done this before lol. Or you can just skip it. Either way will do. Miracle in Cell No. 7 is a heartwarming story that reveals the tight bond between a mentally disabled father and a smart daughter.

We could see how Yong Gu, although being mentally disabled, could provide her daughter Yesung with utmost love and care in every way. He dotes on Yesung and protects her when he knows that she is in danger. He puts Yesung’s life ahead of his without hesitation and wants the bes...

Chapter 169 : Stressful much?

I must say that the holidays are much more stressful than schooling days. SERIOUSLY. For me la.  Some people might be enjoying their holidays soooo much.  I envy them. =(  And some people are working part time and I bet they're not having fun too. BUT THEY GET MONEY IN THE END. Then again, it's really tiring.  Well, apart from waking up late ( 9am is late :D ), eating maggie , watching anime , and watching tv all day without getting scolded ( oh wait, I DID get scolded. sometimes. ),  my holidays have been a wreck. :)  Why? Because... due to my mom being an invigilator for the SPM students, I couldn't attend scout's meeting and the magazine meeting. And of course, CAMPS! =( Pretty saddening huh?  At least I got the chance to go to the ECM selections though. -.- And yeah, we get to go to KL. But, now I don't feel like going anymore. T_T We're gonna have training sessions on the 7th (tomorrow), 9th and 11th of Dec.  ( the reason I didn't wanna go...
