日本語！

私は今日日本語中級のCDに始めて聞いた。すごく速い！！！今私はまだまだね。山のように、沢山勉強する物がある。

Well, what im sying above is actually a complaint on how fast they speak in Japanese. Because I read from many sources, and I don't really have a proper textbook, my Japanese is all over the place. I have finally decided that money has to be spent on a course and I shall lurch myself in one the moment it starts. Monday im studying with nel and mee meep!

Nice quotes from Fitrah:

Boo. Academic achievements are haunting me.

It's hard to be a human nowadays, haha. The notion of being holistic: good in studies, good extra-curricular records, good networking, good employment or life experiences and sometimes good looking as well.

Apparently, it's no longer a pursuit for excellence but we're in pursuit of perfection.

We market ourselves as being capable of attaining anything even if it's not within our grasp and though we started off with humble beginnings, slowly our values erode. We re-assess the group of people we socialise with, rejecting those whom we deem too myopic to understand what we have turned into and embrace those whom we naively believe will appreciate us as we are.

And in the turmoil of things, when relationships fail, when there's a sudden realization that all these while we believed in things that we wanted to believe, when we took a step back and saw the mess our lives had been, that's when we remembered that humble beginning, that innocent dream we wanted to achieve.
