Past few days...

V-day: Nothing much to talk about, since i had lessons from 12 - 8 without any break... ;( But at least i got a gift from tl and saw a shuai ge at a booth in sci.. :)

Friday: The cranberry's set up a booth in NUS~!! And I contributed too... just by talking to Bridget beside the booth~~~ lolx...

Saturday: Went for the usual morning meeting at Bishan... ( 950 am and all the way there!!! ) faints! Yesterday not bad, finally get to interact with the residents there... Taught them how to play basketball... haha.. some of them told me a few of them goes to city harvest church on saturdays.

Today: Went swimming with my mom, think i super long never swim liao... Swim a bit will get aches in the arms... Also, had a good rest the whole of today since i hardly had much sleep the past few days...



Random complaints:

Budget... Don't exactly know how much i'll get, but i think should be at most 300 only... sighs.

People... This is when my psychology stuff comes into practice.. A few people huh.. keep saying i'm what and what... Ok, i just listen and accept (happily or not, that's another thing haha..). Then when they more or less have a similar response/result, they usually tell me it's different mah, cos they have to do what and what, have what and what commitments, or simply just they have other more important priorities.
Now i see what it means by people usually attributes success/positive behaviours to internal reasons... and failures/negative behaviours to external causes... But strangely when judging others, it's vice versa, ie attribute negative behaviours to internal reasons.
Simple eg,
You fail because you're stupid. You scored A because you are lucky.
I fail because i don't think this is important, but i scored A because i'm smart.

Likes/Passion... I don't know why many people have this stereotypical thinking that liking something/ having a passion for something means you have to excel in it.. It's true that many a time, liking something gives you the motivation to do well in it or that doing well in something makes you grow passion in it. But that also does not necessarily mean you can't like something that you are not good in right?
In fact, the stiff competition has sometimes made me lose interest in whatever interest i have in the first place...
I remember some time ago, people asked me, "what do you like to do?"
Me, "___"
Then the next thing they asked is, "Then you know about this & this??" or "are you good in this or this???"
Me,"Not very good..."
Them, "I'm even better than you, and i'm not very interested so how can you say you like this thing when you're not even good in it/ well-informed about it??"

The equation seems to be: Like something = Good at it




LEvel of Interest...is really measured by how far you pursue it...
