Haiz. What should I say?

Overwhelmed by too many problems. Even though it has been discussed for some time, it still struck me by surprise.

Now is not the time to be having mixed feelings about nostalgia. I need some practical solution to solve this economic crisis. Hmm... how should I go about doing this?

(p.s. just wanted to reiterate one point, i'm not really that affluent as everyone thinks, everything I have done is for this day, it's time to start saving all over again. Cycle 3)

"I shall rather find strength in what remains behind"

I'm so bored. Went around surfing youtube and suddenly felt inspired to look for some nostalgic memories of the songs I used to play in the Symphonic Band.

One of my favourites is still Kiroro -Best Friend.



Undoubtedly, my favourite Jap singer. To all my friends.

(p.s i took this because there is a translation for the song lyrics. lol. not trying to act cute or something)

What makes you a Singaporean?

Am I one because I hold a Singapore passport?
Or is it I have a pink IC?
Because I have to serve NS?
Or is it because I live in a territory that is politically divided as Singapore?
Maybe its the local food here?
Could it be because of the people I know that makes me feel at home?
Perhaps it's the HDB & the ownership of home?
The education teaches me that I'm Singaporean?
It can't be on my physical features then?
My almost perfect Singlish?
The local culture?

I can't find an answer to this. I need some definition that can tell me what indeed constitutes being a Singaporean. arghhh... Identity is such a difficult concept, I cannot seem to catch hold of it no matter how hard I try.

Ok. I still can't concentrate fully on my studies for now. Everytime I see the amount of readings on the table, I become distressed and discouraged.

Been spending these days listening to Jay's new album, which I personally find to be much better than his previous album. Maybe it is because there is a lot of songs from the his movie, Secret.

Instead of his number 1,2 hits, I find his relatively low-profiled songs to be quite soothing for me. I strongly recommend - 蒲公英的约定, 我不配, 阳光宅男.

4 hours have passed and I'm still scratching my head, trying to finish up this philo paper that is to be hand up on Monday.

After pondering for so many days, reading the Russell's passage umpteen times and almost tearing apart the Descartes textbook, I'm still unclear how do I express my arguments in words.

The consultation with my tutor does help a little, but there isn't any practical tips on writing a good paper. The argument is done, but somehow I cannot write it coherently in sentences.

maybe I should just ressurrect Descartes and ask him to explain everything again. Hmm... since my tutor came up with the tutorial that "anything I can conceive of is logically possible", then maybe some miracle might happen.

For now, I shall just take a nap and dream of myself in Descartes' shoes.
