What does a pack of instant noodle tells?

Thanks Seng and Dy. Thanks for the visit and also the encouragement.

Lately was busy with my examination and Chinese New Year preparation. So what do I missed while I getting my hands busy with those? Jhing Sun's party, badminton games with Yuen Han and what else? I do not know perhaps someone can tell me.

Something popped up in my mind while I was making myself midnight snack the other day. I were initially burning the midnight oil on the eleventh hour like the usual. I went to cook myself instant noodle, you see. While waiting for the water to boil, I thought to myself, why do I have to put the noodle first then only the seasoning? Was it because of the instruction given? Or it has become a norm among us as a general knowledge since we saw our seniors do so?

Curiosity rose to its peak and I tried the other way round. The outcome? No difference. The instant noodle tasted just like an instant noodle should taste. Though the taste is the same but the progress is different. This may seems nothing much but to me it gives an insight that I will lesser contradict myself when I should come to a situation where I need to take different steps to achieve the similar outcome. And who knows the outcome may turn out to be a big bang in a good way.

Should you be the minority or majority, its all up to yourself. But being a minority among the majority surely attracts the queer eyes.

Happy Chinese New Year everyone.

It got me.

Tonight somehow I feel indifferent. Indifferent in the way that I question myself. Are there dreams too big for one man to chase? When Thomas E. and Alexander G. Bell first put their mind into inventing bulb and telephone, do they actually build castle in the air? So what has made them so steadfast to their belief that their plan will work? And that is even after so many failures they had encountered.

No, do not get it wrong. I am not trying to invent something out of nothing. I am nowhere capable of doing so. I am just wondering if my dream is too big for someone like me to achieve it. And no I am not going to spell it out of what is my dream. I am still hesitating about this.

Every now and then, I always ask myself what I am going after in my life. Honestly, I could not find an appropriate answer to that. My mind keeps fickle among the choices I gave myself. It is nothing firm and solid at all. Like those movies in the cinema, keep changing for a new one after three or four weeks on screen.

Surely that has to be put a stop on it. Otherwise I will keep on deviates from my rightful track. Life is getting meaningless if it goes on like this and in the end I will be useless. =)

Tonight was not the first night for cracking my head on this. I had been waking up thinking about it and same before I go to bed. This is so unlike me. The feeling is so vivid and yet so diffident.

Anyway the sky is the limit. And I wish to see it myself.

The figure goes up by one. It is 2009.

It is already 2009. What does it has to offer me? Or what I have in my mind to paint this year into a more colourful one? There is definitely some, I suppose and hope. Song Yeu asked me few times on my new year resolution. I could not answer him on the spot as I didn't put any thoughts in it. Honestly I don't do such things in the past. Maybe I am lack of direction due to my habit of happy-go-lucky. Somehow after witnessed so many things last year, I guess I should have do more preparation for myself in years to come. So here it goes,

  1. To have more passion in everything I am doing or involve,
  2. To learn and equip myself with more new skills.

That should be it. I guess when one puts all his or her heart into something, the outcome should be wonderful. And that is what I am looking for this year. My passion towards everything.

Last year was painted blue. Hopefully this year will be more vibrant.
