I want to change the world

I have always known that I am blessed. I grew up oblivious to the economic hardship of my family. received education at a top-tier school in Hanoi. I was given a full scholarship to study in Singapore – at Raffles no less. In short, I was given every opportunity to be the best that I could be. I ask myself, “what have I done to deserve all this?”

Nothing.

I am only given all these privileges so that one day, I would be able to help others who were denied such opportunity, to pay it forward. And so it is not merely a dream or an aspiration, but a responsibility for me to be the change that I wish to see in the world, to paraphrase Gandhi. In all likelihood, I would not be the one who eradicate poverty or cure cancer, but at the very least I would make a difference in the lives of those I come across, so as to make the world a little better place in my own ways.

ok that's it.

time to stop fooling around and get down to work (a bit too late isnt it ><). but fear not, i will be there!

have a good month ahead, peeps! i'll see u when november ends =)

madness

life right now is a blur. a whirlwind of things to do, forms to complete, tests to take, and essays to write. it's turning, twirling, swirling, going so fast and going no where.

"there's more than one way to succeed."

"just be the best that you can be."

"don't worry :)"

sounds familiar, doesnt it?

the words are thrown around so carelessly these days i doubt anyone really believes in them anymore. just the other day, i was assuring my friend who was taking the Os, that no matter what the result is, she'd be fine. and yet here i am, fretting endlessly about the college hunt and A levels as if my whole life is predicated on their outcome.

so am i a hypocrite?

woa i'm having sorethroat again!!!

stupid weather!

or maybe it's true that the immune system is weakened by stress =(

either way, i think i'm wasting too much time T___T

i looked at my ex's pics on facebook today. two thoughts.

she's still pretty as a picture. the guy she's with looks stupid.

i'm your usual selfish male chauvinist xD

Flu Game

you know, i'm thankful for all of my friends who have been there and support me through out this period, when i'm literally down on my knees. u guys are the ones who gave me the strength and faith to face up to the challenges of the weeks ahead.

for that, i feel freaking blessed.

tomorrow, it's gonna be my own Flu Game.

and to quote Jordan,

"never say never, because limits, like fear, are often just an illusion."

quick post b4 boarding network stops at 12 pm.

i really should be mugging right now, but flu-ish and dizzy aren't exactly how i want to feel going thru yet another set of notes >< argh one whole year n i just have to fall sick now!

sigh

alright, done with self-pitying.

back to the blueprint of my dreams =)
