also...dear alexander wang,
i want these cat-eye sunglasses.
School starts
School will officially start on 3rd September.
Well not really because it's merely an opening ceremony.
To all of you out there who are still not aware.
I will be reading Business at Nanyang Technological University. Its a 3 year direct honours course.
But I will not be talking about that for now. A little diversion here.
A few months ago,
I was thinking to myself, how I wish I had studied a little bit harder and I could possibly end up in Medicine or Law.
Getting admission into those faculties is synonymous to a ticket to success.
They always looked so cheerful and high up there.
The medicine people are always laughing away and it had long been regarded as the most prestigious course ever created. The role of saving lives, how huge is that!
Its like no matter what they do, it always seem so fun! They seem to be living their lives to the fullest everytime I see them.
They have alot of fun going on. They look good. They are smart. They have a future. Lots of prospect.
Also, being able to don on the white coat along with the Stethoscope hanged around their neck, its like a dream come true. The moment they walk pass you, you can't help but bow down and only envy them as they leave their lingering traces behind. Many can't help but stare at them with envy.
They are the ones that are very much respected by all because of their intelligence. Best of all, they are guaranteed big bucks in their future career.
As for the law students, they are all going to be the future charismatic lawyers that will be battling out their life for their clients in the solemn court. Of course, they will be earning big bucks too. They too, get the chance to wear classic suits and of course, people out there are naturally staring at them with an abundance of jealousy.
Then I wonder, I'm just a Business Student in NTU. Is that good enough? Will people envy me?
But a while back, I start to think of a few things.
1. Am I able to cope in NBS? The courses seem new and fresh and they are definitely not easy.
2. There are so many competitors from RJC and HCJC. Am I able to compete with them?
3. What if I screw it up? Then, is it the end?
But something changed everything once again. I thought to myself.
Then, is Medicine and Law easy? Imagine myself entering Medicine. I will be constantly worrying about all the nerves and cells. Can I memorise all these stuff? Even if I can, am I able to apply it effectively during real surgeries? Its live and death we are talking about here.
Then, if I'm in law, will I be able to find a job out there? Who will hire me as a lawyer? How do I stand out from all the established lawyers that are already out there? There are way too many law codes, will I be able to memorise them properly? How am I going to help my client win the case in the future and if I lose, will people still hire me?
It is after all these ruminations that I realised that nothing is easy in this world. In fact, Medicine and Law students are not having an easy time themselves. We can only admire them with jealousy because we are not put under the pressure they faced.
So, after thinking about that, I realised that I should no longer be so timorous anymore.
I used to be chasing after the Double Degree for Accountancy & Business. Am I going to give up fighting for a Double Degree in Year 2 now? How can I do so if I'm going to be so paranoid about whether I will be able to handle all the workload. I have not even tried and I'm already telling myself that I can't do it. Even if I might not be able to catch up with them in the beginning, it does not mean that I will not be able to catch up with them forever.
When my friends are lagging behind, I always tell them that its not the end yet, and you can surely catch up if you work even harder. Then, why am I demoralising myself here? This is unforgivable!
At the end of the day, we become what we think about. If we keep telling ourselves that we can't do it, then eventually, we will not be able to handle it.
Hence, my conclusion is that, its okay that I will be facing the RJC & HCJC students. In fact, I'm happy that all my competitors are equally as strong. Simply because, I thrive in a competitive environment. I will only grow stronger if my competitors are fierce and relentless. The stronger they are, the stronger I become.
Come to think of it, if everyone is slack, I will be even more worried.
But now, there's nothing to be afraid of, since I'm already in NBS, I will fight it out with them and may the best man win.
Let the battle begins
Hwaiting!!!

2NE1 for Etude House
Ahead of 2NE1’s long awaited comeback in September, the girls have been busy with their various endorsements and posing for all kinds of photo shoots.
Personally, I liked the idea of using idol stars to endorse products.
1. They are familiar faces to the public.
2. They are an icon.
3. The idols are presented well and the advertisement seems luxurious, this will attract the public to buy it, to look like stars like them.
Check out their CF Below

Brain power
Recently, I have just attended a Psychology lecture at NUS.
It was quite amazing. I vividly remembered a point where Asst. Prof Maria mentioned.
She showed us a video, where there's a man whose left arm is amputated and miraculously, he can actually feel his "phantom" left arm when someone touches his left cheek. Apparently, the nervous system of the left cheek has overlapped over to the nervous system controlling the "left arm".
Amazing isn't it?
Well let me introduce to you something called the reticular activating system (RAS) today.
You are what you think. Its power lies in the fact that the subconscious accepts all you feed it as reality.
It CANNOT distinguish between a real perception and an imaginary one.
So, you should FAKE it till you make it.
If you are demoralised or act depressed on purpose, you will really become depressed because your brain is not able to differentiate between what's real and what's not.
An example would be that when you are studying, you rest your head on your palm. Soon you will feel bored and you will naturally become unproductive.
It sort through the clutter and carefully select and guide you to the reality that is consistent with your thoughts.
Hence, if you are thinking, "I am a successful businessman." Your brain will guide you towards that goal. But you must be consistent in thought. If there is a slight diversion along the way, it will change its course for sure!
It screens out everything that won't interest you and then waking you up to something that will interest you.
That is why you might feel that you are constantly exposed to something, for example, a number, a colour, a statement or even a person. That's mainly because you are constantly thinking about it and thus, you only took noticed of that particular thing. In actual fact, they are appearing on the same frequency as other things. Its just that you are biased towards it.
Pretty amazing right?
So, start thinking positive and have absolute positive statements about yourself because your brain is de facto "stupid", as it cannot tell between what's real and what's fake!
