chanced upon my senior's blog just now. it made me think a bit.
we are constantly told to dream big, dare to dream and even pursue our dream. however, there are times when there are constraints to one pursuing one's dream. tangible things that constraint an individual from realising one's potential. in my senior's case, it is money. she was offered a place in an overseas university but because her parents could not afford an overseas education for her, she has to give up her dreams. this made me think. is life fair? are the chances in life so exclusive to only those who can afford it? how then can one realise one's potential fully without having to take into consideration these constraints? true, you may say there are always organisations offering scholarships! but, ask yourself, how many people are truly competent enough to get hold of these scholarships? what about those who are not so academically inclined? life is not fair, is it? if that is so, that motivation is there for one to work so hard in the hope of achieving his goal when he knows it is a futile attempt? should i then work so so so hard even though i know i am not competent enough to attain a scholarship? what is the point? i am so confused. :((( hmmm...

there is something about the way I speak that people disapprove of. I seem to appear aloof, snobbish and arrogant (i was told!!!) to others because of the way I speak and how I carry myself. I was told it could deny me opportunities in the future. :O
I guess I will try to change. It will be tough but I am willing to try. Just so that opportunities will come knocking to me. :)

sometimes, things are just not meant to be.
i can only pray that for every door closed, another will open.
sheer incompetence. i hate myself. :(
how now? i am ambivalent of my future. sigh :( my dreams and reality always seem to be contrasting. what i want will never be. why then am i working so hard if it is not within my reach?
pausing to reflect, did i even work hard to begin with? seeing my sister's friends going to their dream universities, i can only look on in envy.
how do i find the strength to persevere?
how do i keep myself from falling?
from now till then, i can only tell myself, maybe tomorrow will be better :(

I happened to chance upon someone's blog and dare I say it really inspired me. It inspired me to work harder to improve my linguistic ability and to work even harder for my J2 year. All along, I have been under the impression that the Chinese scholars are less proficient than us in English but this girl's blog just proved me wrong. It made me feel guilty, as a Singaporean. English, to her, isn't even her Mother Tongue. Yet, she managed to master the language well (at least better than I do). It hit me quite hard and made me feel guilty. I know how weak my linguistic ability is and have been lamenting about it since FOREVER!!! Yet, I always procrastinate and choose not to do anything about it. Time and tide waits for no man. I shall not waste any more time. I need to work harder to improve myself. I need to be DILIGENT. NO MORE PROCRASTINATION.
That shall be my NEW YEAR RESOLUTION. :D
