.happy.

i went to watch initial D with liting last tues. when i told my classmates this exciting after-school activity, they all stared at me in disgust as if i was from outer space. yaya, i am probably the last few singaporeans catching the movie for the first time after it is released in the market. most of my friends rushed their way to the cinemas immediately after their exams. however, there's no wrong to watch it now right? haha...


the storyline is okay. what's most important is both my eye candies are starring in the movie - jay chou and shawn yue. haha... the races are sooo exciting. i could feel myself sitting at the edge of the chair during each race. my heart skipped a beat when the cars came into the 5 consecutive corners. being the usual biased karen, i want jay to win the race.


do not focus on winning the others. the biggest enemy is yourself.
i find this very meaningful. we know deep in our hearts that our society is very realistic. you either have the capability or have the papers to prove your worth, it's very hard to find your footing in society. that's harsh but face the fact! it's inevitable for us to have the strong sense of competitiveness in us. if you are going to lie back, sit around and do nothing, i am sorry to say that you have been eliminated from the game. however, i hate to become someone's enemy in any way, or rather i hate to compete with people for anything though i believe that i should fight for what i deserved. what's meant to be mine, will be mine someday. i completely detest those cannot face the reality and accept their defeat in grace after the competition. worst still, they had to lie to people around them just to hide the truth. are grades everything to them? grades does not determine very accurately one's ability. to me, it just measures the IQ of the competitor. focusing on winning the other competitors will make one miserable. the people around you will start to find it hard to hang out with you because all you care about is results. you have neglected interpersonal relationships completely. you might have achieved great results in the competition but how about emotional and spiritual victories? ultimately, i need to first convince myself that i will make it through the competition before i can prepare myself for the challenge. if i fail to persuade myself, i have lost the battle. as quoted from my school's canoeists, "heart and soul, go the distance". defeating ourselves is considered as a true victory.


teachers are telling us the time is tight and there is not much time for us to waste. i could sense their strong desire to coach us well so that we can score in exams. however, do i have as equally strong desire as them yet? time waits for no man. everything had been decided. though i have failed to aim for the moon, i am pleased with my improvement. push on and i will make it one day. =)


karen is a happy girl today because the supposedly physics make-up tutorial was cancelled and i had a haircut today. can't wait for mon to come to carry out our evil plan. haha... i will be having a busy weekend because my dearest, bestest friend's birthday is on the 17july. it calls for a celebration right?

give more, expect less
