I'm telling you this not because you do not know; it's simply because we need to be reminded sometimes.

I hate how people get all smug/full-of-air when they're telling people something as if the person receiving this "god-given" advice is d.u.m.b.

No, I'm not a victim, yet, but I do see it happening a lot and I just don't like it much. People need to realise that sometimes their advice works, not because they know more; sometimes, it helps just because people forget. There should be no reason to patronise for the same amount of knowledge you guys share. 

Of course, recollection is a powerful tool, tempered by speed. How much we bring to our conscious mind is essentially the "useful" information that we have, which we use as linkers. I'm one to believe that it is the said "linkers"or ability to remember (fast) that gives an intellect intellect. 

How? Well, I'd draw you a diagram but.... uh on request. But okay, if you think about it:

Exams. You look at the question paper, you say, "die". At the end of the exam, you get a big fat F. You look at some smart ass' solutions and you go, "OMG WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT!?!?!?! @#*!$%!??!"

Why didn't I think of that? Why didn't YOU think of that? You KNOW that already, but why didn't YOU think of that? 

Why didn't you remember? With the information that was given, why didn't you link it to the ones you already had in your brain to produce that easy peasy solution?

Well yeah, that's just something to think about. Whether or not memory is an intellectual property, god-given (talent) or something we can and should work on, I still think people should be more humble.

ANYWHOS STORY OF MY LIFE:

I've been so so so busy! Just today -- French, Transport Processes test, Tennis match (which I won heheehheheheheh sorry I'm so happy it's just cause I'm not in the team and I haven't been training but I played better than people on the team), Drama practice (thank God no Dance today), Intro to Chem Eng coursework, Management presentation, Engineers without Borders meeting prep, AIESEC.

It feels great tho -- mega holistic learning. I've got my acads (I scored 85 on ICE LOL but I'mma fail TP), I've got my sports, I've got my music, I've got my performance arts, I've got my financey shiz (I went for this Trader's Convention £60 but I got in for free hehe), I've got my engineers/social work shiz, I'm being independent and shiz.. and I think I sorta have a social life HAHA. My flatmates have been great and I'm going for Espionage (clubbing event) and Valmont (another clubbing event) the following weeks to come!!!

Ahhh... my life seems so perfect right now.  Juggling so many things have helped my self-esteem. It's a good busy.  I had a good break at Alton Towers with Shum, Cheryl, Darren, and Khai Chien. 90 degree Oblivion roller coasterrr! But yeahhh... not that it's a huge impact on my life but mum's getting me the 4S heheheh! 

Gosh... it's as if my stars are aligning. 

Not that I'm complaining. ;)

So yeaaah #busybeebusyme hence cutting things short and signing off now. 

TAKE CARE EVERYBODEH!

PS. I never thought I'd see this day, but I just realised how much I love running. in the cold. from my flat to campus. cause 1. you get out of the cold fast, 2. it warms you up, 3. it's sorta healthy even though it's only for 30 seconds. XD

PPS. Things I need to look at: fear, pressure, and performance. It was mentioned by Robert Hall at the Trader's convention. It was a really good talk, key takeaway you gotta "be comfortable feeling uncomfortable" and that "success is an alignment of skills/knowledge and mindset". Hopefully I'll be able to give myself a break to think about how it affects my tennis games soon cause my problem of 5-1 up to 5-7 defeated was/is really affecting me.

PPS. Okay, bye.

PPPS. Oh I went to see Priscilla Ahn again!! :DDD She remembers the photo we took (not us, unfortunately).

PPPPS. Okay seriously bye now.
