Some egoistic views from me again...

My running still cannot make it, despite having long distance jogging + speed running every week. My last clocked timing was 13:06, still abt 20 over seconds away from passing, damm.... Just couldnt get back to the older days where i could achieve 11+ min easily. Age is definitely NOT an issue, but the weight is, heh heh.

Oh yes, congratulations to KICI for his new found post! Sadhu sadhu Sadhu!

I spoke to a few jnrs and asked their views on running the MC, and their engagement in campus activities (need not be BS). Most of them are worried abt affecting their sch results. No doubt, priority should aways go to our studies in NUS, and i do respect them for their views. However to me, studies and results are 2 diff things. Results are definitely NOT as important or crucial as many wud think or treat them to be. Whats the pt of acheiving good academic results, but when u miss out a lot on ur life?

I may be a 2nd upper class honours student, and I do not really feel very proud abt it. But then, i am actually earning quite a lot more than a couple of my 1st class and several 2nd upper class honours frens. On the other hand, I also have frens who got 2nd lower and 3rd class, who earn more than me! Those who are already out there in the workforce, dun u think wat i said is true? And still, its also true that money is NOT everything. Its the overall package... the sense of fufilment, the satisfaction, and how meaningful u feel ur life is!

Why are students behaving like slaves to academic results, just like working adults working like slaves to money? I really feel that campus life is much much more than acheiving good grades and taking part in campus activities. Its also a lot on personal development, gaining experiences, project management and engaging in a healthy social lifestyle. From my own personal working experience, these r the elements tat are actually more crucial to our future employment.

A person who handles an area well, is most likely capable of handling other things well as well. Its more of his attitude and management capability, isnt it?
