Learning
"I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

Emptyness
After the exams, everything went super fast.
Actually, this year is super fast.
I did alot of things. Stupid things. Things that i will be proud of. Things that will probably make me close my eyes and think wtf was i thinking.
I went out. Be around people. Talk to people.
But now come to think of it. All i felt was a sense of emptyness. It's like you did everything but you felt nothing. No joy, no pain, no sense of accomplishment. Just a feeling of emptyness in your heart. As if a there is black hole in my chest sucking all the emotions out of me.

L.O.S.T
In the big world, there is so many things to do, so many things we have yet to do and so many things that we have to do. In the process of doing this stuff be it like studying for your University Examinations and so on. You might start to lose focus on what you really want to do.
A few days ago, i was reading my past entries of my blog. The experience was a little exciting as the mentality that i had during that time and now is totally different. But most of which serves me as a reminder what i set out to do over the span over the years. I didn't really achieve anything excellant nor did anything exceptionally wrong. The problem is i didn't really do those things at all to begin with.
Just when you think that you were a little better then yesterday, the thought or the fact that nothing changed at all gives you this incredible wake up call that you are not doing anything to change yourself. What changed is that you have just gotten older, that's all. I've live my life walking through life aimlessly without a goal for so long i forgot what it is like to have a proper plan. It really confusing these days to really go ahead to do something and yet you know that you won't achieve anything when you do so.
They always say there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately, it's still full of tunnels for me right now..

Confidence...
Confidence is a very important thing. It really can determine whether you can do something well or not. It's the factor that pull you through hard times and the one that let you breeze through easy ones.
Just take myself for example, recently there was this module called HMK1 - Korean. It was really difficult of me to pick up an entirely new subject at this stage in time. It's like relearning english all over again. Except we do this in a extremely short duration of 12 weeks. All the vocabulary, gammer, sentence structure, verbs etc etc have to be memorised and be well verse in.
I just remember i screw up an important part of the curriculum which is the persentation part. At that point of time, i had totally no confidence in korean at all. My whole mind was all about S/U the subject as soon as possible and i did it at that very night itself. However, as time goes by, i begin to start picking up korean very quickly. I won't say it was a breeze but i would say that it wasn't as difficult as i think it was. Then there comes the long awaited final examination for this module. As expected, it wasn't as hard as i thought it would be. I probably could have gotten a pretty decent grade if i didn't decide to S/U it.
It all boils down to one thing.
Confidence!!!
Yes, humans are very weak. There are points in time whereby you won't have confidence in yourself. However, the lesson to take away is that you must not give up or fall into self-pity during those period of time. It is of upmost importance to get back your source of confidence again. We must not falter over a moment of set back. Who knows what is planned ahead for us in the future. Something good may awaits us if we just bare our teeth and walk straight into the future that await us.
Trading a possible A for a life lesson.
Priceless =)
