My break starts today. Though like everyone else, I have a thousand and one things to do for school, I am glad that at least I can have some time for myself to reflect and rest when being away from school, away from the peer pressure that compels me to study more diligently. Not that being diligent is not good but sometimes I think that i am studying not out of passion and thirst for knowledge (to glorify god) but out of fear that I wouldn't be on par with my peers, losing face to them because of my poor results. May God do something with my insecurity.

Inspiring Palindrome's Post!!! I love reading the posts written by her even though she said they are just for her memory sake. The mundanely exciting evening in Britain, pardon the oxymoron, is really sweet and I wish i could have the luxury of time to chill like that. School has been so busy and gradually I find myself irresistibly sucked into the whirl of work. I need time for myself.

simple is dim-witted?
It is said that one's writing style reflects his personalities. If that is true, 'simple' will be the word to describe mine.
As I browsed through all posts i have written so far, I hardly found any long posts. All are very short. Perhaps i don't have much to say. Perhaps my life is so mundane that if i were to write everyday, the posts would be brazenly similar. Or perhaps things are actually different but i am too simple to appreciate the minute difference. I do not like to think too much and want to take the simplest approach. i wonder why people make things so complicated. My mum scolded me for being too honest. 'A white lie wont do you any harm'-that's what my CS100 lecturer said 'but it can help you get out of an awkward situation for example, a guy asked you out for dinner but you didnt like the guy, you lied that you were not free so as not to hurt him'. Well fair enough, but just to come up with a lie often squeeze out quite a little of my brain juice.
Should i get more 'civilised' and sophisticated like what my roommate advised me?
Once i was told that simplicity is a virtue and i should stay as who I am. As I grow up and enter the working life, things will more likely be complicated. One definitely needs some wisdom to handle all relationships and issues. Be simple but not gullible and dim-witted. Yes, that is my resolution for the Lunar New Year.
