Yoohoo!

Short updates:
  • Final final French grammar test is tomorrow afternoon
  • My FIRST final paper (personality) is in TEN days' time! SHIT.
  • For some weird reason, I feel sleepy as early as 10:30 pm for these past two days. Crap.
  • My crazy friends think that there ought to have tudung pyjamas for those who don them (this made me LMAO X 10000000000).
  • Bittersweet experience for french oral exam, lol.
  • I, amongst the sea of people who had, haven't watched How to Train a Dragon. Me, together with possibly two other people (katty and wenxiang) HAHA. So pathetic please. Is it really THAT good? Daym looks like I'd be missing a good show since gotta study (sucks!)
  • I got the position NOC Assistant (French) for the Youth Olympics event! So eggciting! Ok so this means my August would be filled.
  • But ... no news for internship yet. People reply at tortoise-like speed really. Even though I did receive prompt replies, those aren't acceptance letters. Jeez. If all else fail, I'll find a part-time job!
  • Oh and finally I have this current dilemma, there's this application for local exchange (so that means NTU and SMU for me), should I go? I don't even know if I'd be going overseas exchange boohoo. This is because I'm stuck at this position where I don't even know if I should proceed to honours years with my current CAP. So in order for me to do exchange overseas in Year 3 Sem 2, I MUST do honours. And I don't want to be doing honours if my CAP is the minimum. And then there's this local exchange for next semester. Should I should I? Maybe to SMU?

Till then, so long! Have a good week everyone!

Reclaiming my voice

It has been more than 2 years since I published anything on this blog. I have written a few reflections quite abit during this time, but they are mostly in draft versions, probably reflective of the scatteredness of my thought processes, or the ongoing engagement with the topic which has yet found a proper resolve (or is there ever a resolve really?), or just me finding mere words to articulate my thoughts that are waiting to be entertained and possibly verbalised or written. I'm driven to write this post precisely because I can't entirely ignore the nagging voice inside my head, telling me to use writing as a tool to not only express myself, but to reclaim my voice. It is such an insanely noisy world. The constant stream of information from different online platforms not only pull me from various directions, but it spreads my attention too thin that it is impossible to follow one stream of thought, sit on it for awhile, slowly reflect and if possible, articulate it. It is not

Information vs. Knowledge

“To know how to put what knowledge in which place is wisdom. Otherwise, knowledge without order and seeking it without discipline does lead to confusion and hence to injustice to one's self.” - Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas This week's key takeaway for me is that; knowledge requires knowing its proper order and place.  Everything else is just information.

Infinity

unbounded to any definitions or limits, existing but not adequately known. this entity, being constantly talked about, pulls like an unbeatable gravitational force. we are always approaching, almost touching, existing in tandem, still, not yet meeting Infinity the eventual meeting where there are no bounds
