Pessimistic...

Those of my friends who know me well, know that at times I will go into bouts of pessimism and severe depression, followed by hunger strikes, then I go amok with a chopper in my hand...

Okay, okay, not to that extent...:-)

I am not that mad...really...hahaha

But it's true that I do feel pessimistic and depressed at times. I just get the feeling that I haven't achieved much or anything that I should have achieved. That's frustration for you, people...that's sheer frustration!

Maybe I shouldn't aim so high...short people shouldn't play basketball...(ok, ok, I did get thumped on the head a few times by basketballs when young...but i wasn't complaining...and in any rate I am still sane enough to post something worthy!)

What can I do?

Nothing...I am just stuck now in a rut, waiting for things to happen! I just don't like this kind of helpless, "caught-in-a-net-like-a-fish" scenario...

Grr...

Till the next post...

The road goes on and on...

Trust me to start with a quote from Lord of the Rings...

Ah well...I have made my choice regarding my part-time degree and that is to continue. Not an easy choice when I see many of my friends around me already graduated or about to complete.

Sigh...that's the trouble with starting one's degree education late...

Anyway...although I will be the last person to ever admit it, I seemed to have become something of a pubber, albeit my actual pubbing activities revolves only around soccer and the exploits of Arsenal Football Club.

Let me stress this...I am not a pubber...just a soccer fan who likes to drink one or two jugs of Tiger beer during a football match...get it?

I seemed to have developed a writer's block during these 2 weeks...can't seem to progress any further in my stories...

More to come.

A hard choice...sigh...

Woe betide me...

The tricky situation that I did not hope for really did materialise...with 2 passes out of the 4 subjects that I took in my UOL exams, I am left in a dilemna. Shall I continue with my current UOL degree, albeit splitting up my remaining subjects over a matter of 2 years? Or should I just leave and look for another degree course? One that may not be as prestigious as UOL, but nevertheless which still offers a decent and more pragmatic (hopefully!) approach toward higher education?

Argh...
