A PieCe Of My MinD

the other day i was watching this documentary on Star Movies.. its called ‘My Date With Drew’.. its about this 30-something year old guy who has this enormous crush on Drew Barrymore since he was a kid. and he has 30 days to get himself a date with the famous actress Drew Barrymore (shes the little girl in ‘ET’ as well as the actress in Charlie’s Angels.).. and it got me thinking.. this guy has this dream of meeting Drew for the longest time and yet, it took him 20+ years to finally take that step to realise his dream. i’ve also just finished reading this book ‘The Alchemist’ and its about a shepard boy who embarked on a journey to substantiate his dream. and it really made me think..

there are 2 types of ppl in this world: ppl who have dreams and actualise their dreams and ppl who have dreams but do not bother to make them reality. so what is ur dream? what do u want to be? what is that thing that u like to do that makes u happy? what do u want to achieve? what is ur ultimate goal in life? what is that ONE goal that keeps u going everyday in life to take that step by step to reaching it? when people ask u ‘what is ur dream?’, what answer would u give them? its quite ironic how the simplest things sometimes turn out to be the hardest thing to do. have u ever met people who always say that life is boring? people who lead so-called dull life and unmotivated. these are the people who has no dreams, no inspirations in life. they are the people who failed to see the goodness in life from the moment they open their eyes in the morning. i believe that everyone has a dream but how many of us are actually determined enough to materialise that ultimate dream? or are u one of those people who tries to sweep that dream aside and preted it doesnt bother u and when ur old, u regret not doing it?

life is short. do something momentous, something significant, something meaningful in ur life. reach out for ur dreams because i believe that what sets extraordinary individuals from the normal crowd is the fact that these individuals have the will and guts to do so.

so far, i can only come up with that list. haha.. sorry for wasting ur time. i really have no idea what to blog about. haha..

oh btw, Benji is my 1 year-old Terrier. what did u think he was?

we recently sat for our mid-sem exam, which was last week and i have to say that my performance in the exam was poor. never have i feel so much shame for not scoring well and (still) feel so inferior surrounded by smart people who scored better results than i have. i know that im not as smart as most of these people are and what have i done to make up for it? did i study as much as i should have? the answer is NO. i got a D in chemistry and that really sucked. i always blame the teacher, whose-name-i-shall-not-mention, for having poor teaching skills. ask any of her students and they’ll most certainly give u somewhat the same comments - she teaches too fast, her way of teaching is not systematic, blah blah blah. i feel sorry for her, honestly cause i can really sense her sincerity in helping her students to excel but sadly, she doesnt know the main problems. no teacher deserves to be told that their teaching skills are poor and so, to tell her the truth would crush her heart. but then i realise, it’s no use crying over spilt milk. blaming a teacher for not teaching well wont help solve the matter. telling myself i got a D in my chem because of the teacher wont get me an A.  as a student, i cant rely on the teacher(s) alone, can i? i shouldve worked harder in my studies especially for my weaker subjects. hmm.. i shall work harder then. my result in other subjects are ok, i reckon. but still not very satisfied with them especially english.

anyways, sorry for wasting ur time by reading this piece of nonsense. i shall blog bout something exciting tomorrow.
