It's been days since I last blogged.
So here I am.
Gonna make this a long post though.
It's pretty much a self-reflection period.
My friends had changed me in some ways.
I am more open and crazy in some sense.
Also, all the fun seemed to have taken a whole lot
of my thinking away
(Except when I'm designing and that kinda ruined my project..)
Anyway knowing myself
I know I can't get away without thinking.
But P2 was a real wake up call for me.
P2 was the moment
that made me felt so disappointed.
I had never had that much regret in my life
(Breakup was the most but that's all in the past)
I was really affected.
For a few days I couldn't bring myself together.
I know that I was really disappointed in myself.
It made me realized
how much my lack of self-confidence had killed me.
I needed to make a change.
Something which I knew I had to
but I was always finding excuses to avoid.
I always had the play-safe mentality.
I thought it could always guarantee me
100% genuine responses.
But life doesn't go that way.
I needed to realize that and P2 made it happened.
My past lecturers for projects had told me
I could design.
I always took that compliment but never 100%.
It is really time to make a change.
I have to have a sense of confidence in me.
When you don't
people who expected much of you gets disappointed.
You feel disappointed in yourself as well.
I think those doesn't matter as much as
the possibility of something good happening.
It just isn't fair.
It isn't fair to anyone and most of all yourself.
Jump into the pool and see what happens.
It is time for me to be more daring.
I need to raise my level of expectations.
That will be the focus I shall take
when school term begins again.
Be daring
Be confident
Be a willing learner
and never back down from problems.
So this shall be my first expectation from myself.
Make the change. Expect myself to do it.
I've been lazying at home
the past days just playing guitar and games.
From tomorrow onwards
I need to change.
Can't waste my entire holidays.
One change in me is that I don't play ball that much anymore
BUT
I'm still a hardcore NBA fan.
So I shall limit the amount of time I spend on games.
and take a few hours each day to enhance my design skills.
I need to gain that momentum and
continue that into the new school term.
I realized I strayed away from my goal a bit
How I loved the nature and wished to travel to places
when I get older.
Looking at all these amazing nature photos
is overwhelming.
It just makes me more excited and wanting to get out
there to look at mother nature more closely.
I shall continue to remind myself
that this will be part of my goals.
Growing up and now that I'm 18
I realized a lot of problems surface
They kind of take away your motivation
and aspirations.
How do I put it...
Many of these issues are like
The society is going to be harsh..
Am I going to get a good job?
I need to be more serious in my work
etc..
All those issues.
I mean they kinda blind you away
They make you forget what your goals and motivation are.
Then you become lost.
We often watch inspiring films
that's the case for me of course.
and we get touched by how one person
can carry on with life against all his obstacles
despite all the doubts and disbelief
and pull through to succeed and inspire others.
Sounds amazing.
But the moment we individuals step into our own lives.
That perspective is gone.
We let our fears blind us again.
I have that mindset.
But I need to change.
It's not about being unrealistic
but instead
giving your best at something
because you will never know until you try.
When you fail, you fail
but at least you tried.
So again,
I shall take a new approach
and take that into the new school term.
These amazing animals.
I like to watch wildlife films
but haven't been watching in months.
I am more of a loner type
not entirely anti-social or can't communicate
I just sometimes
prefer to hang out on my own and watch these inspiring films etc.
It gives me my time to think and
reflect on life.
It also makes me appreciate things much better.
Again I hope all these inspiring photos
will be my source of motivation.
To remind myself constantly
that I need to work hard (Which I haven't)
and that someday I will be the one at these places.
So now I'm going to rest already.
Need to wake up early
My highly-anticipated Heat Training Camp will be
showing later on around 6-7 am on NBA
So I can't miss it.
Miami Heat's been amazing because
of what they pull through.
Now they've got a fantastic team
and their goal will be winning the championship.
Honestly
I feel special to be their fan.
Because I didn't become a Heat fan only after they acquire LeBron and Bosh
I was already a fan of Miami despite their mediocre 2 seasons
I've been behind the team even though they weren't the best.
Because of people like Dwyane Wade and Alonzo Mourning
seeing the things they do on court
the passion they have
they make me love basketball even more
Now that they put together one of the best teams ever
it makes me feel special to be a fan of theirs.
I look forward the the season they have
and hopefully they prove the doubters wrong
and win the championship.
I sound like a crazy fellow now but hey
I am proud to be one.
:)
Alright I need to take my rest
Training camp to watch
Probably a trip to the library
and dinner at night with Fendy and Jin Yi
A new approach to life
taking the small steps to success
I will work my ass off for my future projects
I will.
I demand myself to do so.
One day I will be there.
This shall be my motivation.
Good night people.
