1 more paper before 1 more sem but....

it has been long, it has been tough .................... and it's still not over yet *sigh*

i dare not aim high, just hoping much i'll survive through it
getting it done with is simply good enough
and wish the next one would be slightly better after the worst being experienced

definitely not an enjoyable one,
but that's what been laid out in front
no choice but to keep going,

i guess a reminder to be taken note of would be:

if you ever get knocked down,
remember that it's not about time to give in yet
instead, take a short time-out
then get up & fight again

------------------------------------------------------

hmm, hush.....
i'm feeling life's missing something ryte now
nothing special to 'spice-up' life a little
it's been revolving around studies only mostly
and i'm tired of it

especially as i feel quality of life deteriorates in some way
considering how hectic this uni life would be

deprivation of sleep
lack of nutritious food
irregular meal times
sedentary lifestyle without much physical activity

all these i've learnt
that the exact opposite of what have been mentioned above;
would be essential to lead to a better health condition
but ironically,
i've achieved all of those improper lifestyle habits

seriously,
i need a break
which should come true as planned if everything goes well
short but anticipating it to be a good vacation getaway
to rid of all the exhaustion
before anything else begins again

being away from home for more than 2 years already
and kinda missing home a bit
even though home-sick symptom rarely appears in me

but home..
is at least the place i can leave all else behind (temporarily)
and fully enjoy the comforts i get as much as i can

was a fresh start exploring a different environment 2 years back then
but now it's really a bit boring
as if staying in a 'nut-shell' for too long

even when there are actually many places that can plan to go for a visit
variety of nice food choices to indulge in
wide range of interesting activities to do

time's running out that can be spent with uni mates
and there was never enough opportunity to have great fun together

people say,
life is just like a sheet of canvas
you are the painter
it's up to you how you want to colour & create this masterpiece artwork
through your journey in life

in another context,
life may be a book with blank pages
where you are the rightful author
holding the pen & ink down the chapters of your own life in it

ultimately,
the meaning of my life?
i can't define it at the moment
because,
there's so much more to life
and so far, i still have yet to say i've been there, done that..

for now,
i just want to live a happy life
one that would make me smile at the beginning of a brand new day
and sufficient for me to sustain throughout another day
is that too much to demand for?

no, it's not too much to demand for. in fact, happiness in life is not to be demanded, it is to be made.

you're the one holding the paintbrush now, you're the one writing the book, so make that firm decision to paint something nice and write something beautiful.

sure, there are things in life that you can't control, but when you realize that there are also many things that you CAN control, you'll know how to live each day in a better way.

it's all in the mindset. uni life can be draining, definitely, but you don't have to let it drain you. find things that you're interested in and fill your life with that.

who says you can't be happy being a student? you're letting the negative aspects of uni life (and life in general) weigh you down, karen, and it's been like this for the past few sems already.

why not try to shake it up? delegate your time well, prioritize, and then you'll know how to balance work and play.

sorry for the long comment, but i just feel like wanting to say something to ignite that spark in you, because looking at a friend who seems so tired of life makes me sad too..

so start taking control! don't be reactive; be proactive! reactive is when you just react like a lembap piece of sponge to whatever life pokes you with; proactive is when you take charge of the situation, and turn it around (maybe poke life back).

whatever it is, the paintbrush and pen is in your hands. life is not just a blank canvas, it's a HUGE one too. so even if you've painted or written something bad on it in the past, it's never too late to change the mindset. there's still a whole lot more of the canvas to fill in ;)

with that, i wish you luck in our last paper of the semester, and luck in life in general!!
